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. I am so sorry. I hope that you go to the ER, your family doctor or Urgent Care soon. I am worried that you did break something and you could have torn more from your fall. I am also tired of many things and hope things take a turn for the better soon. |

I'm with you. I'm tired off it all. We are still in lockdown. Well over 200 days now. I know I'm fortunate and I know we are not doing it hard given where we live, but I'm over it. My eldest daughter is at University in Brisbane and I miss her. We were hoping to visit and my younger daughter was going to spend some time with her sister. She was going to come home during her 1/2 semester break. And now none of it can happen. When we went into lockdown we had 5 cases. Yet in lockdown for several weeks, we are now at 450 cases just for today. People are obviously not taking the restrictions seriously.

It's a little different for me I guess. Yes, I'm tired of all the BS. I'm furious that my older DD has been pulled to the red side of everything and won't get vaccinated even though she has a newborn. But mostly I'm exhausted from my damn chronic illnesses. I can't even clean one room without taking breaks. It's not just tired, it's physically exhausted. And the only end I see is death. There's no cure for this, no treatment I'm not already on. I'm just so tired of being tired and useless. There's so much that needs to be done!
Not sure I'll even make it to the bench, lol! I might have to just curl up on the floor near the bench. Throw a blanket over me, would you?
Hey, at least my ex is a stand-up guy. Not the ex who was the sperm donor. But the first ex. We're close. And he is there for me and vice versa. I'm grateful for that.

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. There are kids who care. A lot. My daughter is finally having in person classes at college (her entire freshman year was virtual) and one of her classes went virtual last week and she is so mad. She’s had it with virtual classes and hates having the constant threat of virtual classes, pivoting at the last minute, and things being canceled. Hates it! I feel like I’m watching her normally peaceful self get more cynical and uncaring by the day. |

I’m stressed and struggling—hubby is still in Louisiana, I’m responsible for kiddos & dog, and literally all my siblings went on vacation this week! |

luckyexwife I'm with you. I'm sick of trying only to get disappointed repeatedly. I've learned through pandemic and politics the true nature of people. My life is better interacting as little as possible with others.

I understand the chronic pain part, but you have a lot more to deal with than me. I'm fed up with the right side of my body. My hand. My knee. I take a pain pill, have some relief and then want to take a long nap. And yes, so much needs to be done. Please know you aren't alone. |

I feel like I’m watching her normally peaceful self get more cynical and uncaring by the day. I'm sorry. I know there are kids that care. I feel for them. The actions of a few are ruining the whole college experience for everyone. We thought we would be good going back to in-person for fall. Just like the adults that won't get vaccinated, there are college students who won't get vaccinated and claim religious exemption (and their parents back them up). Unfortunately, we can't request an affidavit for that (like we can for a medical exemption), but we do require they get tested once a week. If they don't get tested they can be expelled or suspended. |

We're gonna need a bigger bench. Could we splurge and get a row of recliners instead? I barely have the strength to sit up at all right now. I wish I was just exaggerating, but I'm not. My couch has seen more use since Covid started than in all the years since I purchased it. I am just exhausted with life right now. |

luckyexwife I'm with you. I'm sick of trying only to get disappointed repeatedly. I've learned through pandemic and politics the true nature of people. My life is better interacting as little as possible with others. This is where I am at. I do not go out, other than to pick up my monthly medications at the pharmacy. I now need to get some bloodwork done and I find it is irritating me that I will need to go out to do it. Yet my facility is ultra careful and take temperatures as you enter and everyone masks. They have a guard at the doorway making sure of that. I shouldn't be irritated, but my emotional exhaustion has made me so. |

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? 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. Abraham Hicks and the 17 second ruleI have very limited contact with him. He wants me to still be there emotionally for him....no f'in way! I only communicate via text. |

Same. I mistakenly took too much on during fair week and having to deal with the 'do as I say not do what I do' know it all who happens to be a semi covid denier. (She thinks it is real, it just doesn't affect her). She is the main reason I left one EHC club. At least she called me a life saver when I showed up to cook and debone 18 whole chickens. It wasn't even my club that was responsible for it. (It was my Mom's and she couldn't go due to health issues).

Tired. I'm just tired. Tired of everything. Misinformation. Vaccines being political. My ex dumping everything on me, then complaining. I'm Tired of taking the high road. All that plus the double standard. If all life is scared, then ALL life is sacred, among almost everything else. |

Oh, and it WAS. <---said in my best dramatic Keith Morrison Dateline voice Couple hours later and I could barely move. I was eating my Christmas Chinese food dinner whilst simultaneously crying...lol. It would take me like 5 minutes to get into or out of bed for a few days. Terrible....hope you feel better. |
