The misinformation is my biggest vent. It's everywhere---even here on this board.

Yep I'm with you.
Vaccine passports are about to be reality here in Ontario, and while I'm fully vaccinated and would have no issue showing said passport, I'm a little concerned about the "where will they take this next" part of it. I believe the science and got my shots as soon as I was able to. But for those that are hesitant, not because they can't actually have it, but because they just aren't sure about it (even though all the data so far says it is safe) do they really deserve to lose their job over it?
I'm tired of all the nasty back and forth online. Not just under posted articles, but in local groups, people I know. It is so tiring and frustrating. I know I need to stop reading it!

Me too. Tired of all the political talk all the time about presidents, covid, vaccines etc. Essential worker through all this at a grocery store and customers have been awful. We're shorthanded and everyone is exhausted and over it and snappy.

I’m with you on this. I’ve been avoiding media, social and otherwise, because with the new delta variant, the ivermectin, all the new voting laws, the abortion shit going on in Texas, I seriously can’t handle any stupidity. It’s stupid what’s happening. It’s pissing me off that people are so gd worried about a 10 week mass of cells but won’t take a gd vaccine.

I am sorry. This has been a rough 1.5 years for so many people. So many people are tired and burned out.

Me too. We have vaccine passports here in Europe, but the hoops we need to jump through to get registered are just nuts. I wasn’t too worried because we are only traveling locally and our cards are recognized in tourist locations, but next week there is an event on the NATO base where we need to be vaccinated and show the digital passport.
They aren’t recognizing the CDC card. On base. Where the hospital is located. Where we were vaccinated. The Americans are having a heck of a time trying to get our CDC cards entered into the system.
If this was a Belgian requirement, that would be one thing. But it’s not. Our CDC cards are recognized locally, in France, in Germany, in The Netherlands…. Just not on the base for this one event.
Many of us don't speak French well enough to communicate such a complicated issue. When we find a pharmacy that will enter our status in the system, it gets shut down for various reasons. We are advised BY OFFICIAL CHANNELS to go to France or Germany or go to a private doctor here to have it entered into the system. It’s been almost 10 months since our first vaccines. Surely we could have this worked out by now!

I think you’re going to need a very long bench. I’m so over the stupidity of people, and I’m WAY over how willingly they display that stupidity to the world at large. OMG seriously people? The dumb shit you do and then put it out on social media, and expect me to *not* think you’re a complete idiot?  I don’t get it. And on top of all the Covid crap, one of our good friends who was recently involved in a serious accident, we learned today is paralyzed from the shoulders down and will have to be on a vent for the rest of his life. His son (who is an adult, but who has clearly had issues with adulting up until now) is completely overwhelmed not only with all of the medical stuff but also with all the people calling non stop, asking if they can visit his dad (who has had a limit of 2 visitors per day), asking how can they help. His dad is a guy who was involved with so much and who always jumped in to help everybody else. It’s going to be a really rough road.  |

So true. I had to learn this from a therapist 20 years ago and I have held it close ever since. We only have so much emotional energy, and it gets depleted from every bit of negativity (in my case, including friends who use you as their strength but don't give back). It's so important to do things for ourselves that rebuild our strength. A hot bath. A walk. New nail polish. Baking bread. Crocheting. |

My sister's workplace is still mostly work from home and for those who want to work in the office, they have to do a rapid test when they come in. No questions about your vax status, just a test for all - I really like that approach. And my family is all fully vaccinated so this is not coming from an anti-vax point of view at all. For those dealing with ex's who are behaving badly - do you have to have contact with them? I told my ex fairly early on that we were not a team anymore, he made that decision for us when he decided to date while we were married, so I would no longer be available to assist him. Anything he sends now gets deleted or sent to my lawyer. It has made a huge difference to my state of mind. just gotta do something nice for yourself. get out and go for a walk. read a book in the backyard. sometimes we just need to step away. I agree - it's okay to turn off the news or stay off social media for a few hours. This popped up on my instagram feed yesterday and I thought it was a good message for the times.

I just want to turn on the news and hear some good news for a change.
I turn off the tv and turn on music or read. We have to get away from it.

Me,too.
I think we need a nationwide paid vacation where we can all reset. When we come back, there will be no more division and misinformation and just plain stupidity. Or maybe just the vacation. lol

There isnt a moment where covid isn't mentioned. It's on the news, tv shows, this message board, commercials , every where. There is no break from it. Can you honestly remember the last time you had a conversation with someone and covid wasn't discussed.
It's so frustrating cause you can't escape it. I'm tired.

Im sorry and I see a lot of us can relate.
I’m tired of being stressed and anxious. Tired of thinking about it and hearing it. Tired of the hatefulness and anger everywhere. Tired of analyzing every sneeze and cough. Tired of the sadness I see. Tired of just one bad news story after another. Tired of worrying about people I love dearly not getting vaccinated. Tomorrow is a new day and we can try again.

We were just talking about this in a work email this week. We are still working from home and will probably do it permanently from now on. The university I work for said all students have to be vaccinated by August 15th in order to get back on campus. So they did. Yet the number of COVID cases are rising because the students gather off campus in large groups, not social distancing, not wearing masks. They were warned this week if the numbers keep rising they may have to go back to virtual. The kids just don’t care.
Move over, I need a seat on the bench with y’all.

I hear you. 😢
I’m tired of hurting—mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Tired of the anti-vaccine crowd.
Tired of all the Republican bullshit. Their lies are so god damned bad that I’m worried American will never get better.
I’m tired of shitty people.
I’m tired of people who are either friends or family who cannot respond or check in.
I’m tired of hurting. My body is killing me—I have a torn meniscus to begin with, and last night I tripped over the dog, fell hard and my whole body is jarred and hurt. My knees are killing me. My fist got between the floor and my boob and it feels like I busted a rib—that’s twice in 2 moths I’ve hurt my ribs!! I just laid on the floor and cried—had to get ip and take out the trash!!!
Today I can barely walk, my knees are locking up and every inch of me hurts.
