I feel like, no matter how much I sleep, I am constantly exhausted and, while I started isolation with so many plans to "get stuff done"... none of it has eventuated.
Don't get me wrong, I think that, overall I'm doing okay. I'm one of the fortunate ones who is still working, I have family around me, I get out every day for a walk. I'm (mostly) eating well, trying to not overload on the news and catch up regularly with friends via Zoom and phone calls.
But a few months before all this my long-term relationship broke down. Then both of my parents became seriously unwell and the pandemic broke.
And I'm just exhausted all the time. Exhausted and worried and tearful. I don't seem to have my usual resilience. I drag myself through the day and then the smallest of things sends me into a flood of tears. Or a fury.
Life just feels so unpredictable and unmanageable.
