Im exhausted by all of this. It uses every bit of energy you have. It affects every person you know, you love. Too tired. Needing a break . lying on couch cos cant sleep !

Sorry. Just emotional n needing to vent. Without being judged x

It is isn't it? Everything since September 28th has been exhausting. I cannot wait (if it ever comes!) to feel half normal again. Life is one big drain and we didn't sign up for any of it. Trying to be a bit more positive this week, last week was a huge drain on me. Let's commit to doing one positive thing a day, it's got to help surely?!

Absolutely agree, theres too much emotion involved. I feel like everyone else has got on with their lives while i'm still living in april last year!!

Maybe the weather has an effect too, if the days were lovely and sunny maybe we wouldnt feel quite so like hibernating!

Heres hoping tomorrow seems a little brighter for you xx

Thanks for your kind words.



I've spent today feeling lonely and angry,which is an emotion i don't feel very often. So I probably don't deal with it very well. Sometimes I feel I take 2 steps forward then get pushed back 20! Other people can be very very unkind. Even those you thought of as friends....hence the anger.



Glad we are not alone x

It really is exhausting and draining. Going from a fantastic happy life to this nightmare knocks it outvof you emotionally. The constant worry, fear, talking about it, people making assumptions about you, social services (who just add to the stress rather than offer any kind of support or help), dealing with the fact life has changed, i have changed. Im hoping that soon it will all get better, i think it will be worse first but im hopeful for all of us in a few years we will say we got through it and we are ok.

Hi - yes I feel exhausted too, and bit like I’ve been kicked. I’m trying to keep everything normal but there feels like there is little joy in my life x

Totally natural and very understandable. My partner was on bail for nearly 15 months and is now part way through a 15 month sentence. Every day exhausts me. Particularly spending a huge chunk of the weekends on visiting him! The paranoia also takes it out of me because his case made the headlines of a local paper so I'm never sure who knows and who doesn't. The world just became a scary place.

I do a lot of meditating which seems to help (HeadSpace app). Despite coming from a Christian home, I'm pretty sure I constitue a good Buddhist now!

Best wishes.
