This too shall pass. Just remember to apply it to the good stuff, too.

Yeah, good point. My gf and I started using “it is what it is” a while back in seriousness referring to various work things. Then for a while we used it ironically because we realized we were saying it too much. Now it’s wrapped all the way around and we are using it seriously again because of the quoted.

Last few weeks have felt pretty bad and not quite sure how to handle it. Realizing that this will be my 4th Christmas in the US and I’m still in state of limbo has really destroyed my mood. Somehow I both really want to go home already and terrified of it and probably not being able to physically do so right now is the worst of both worlds.

Yep I’m really struggling right now. Just the boredom day in day out is killing me.
I’ve been working the night shift since returning to work in October, and while I’m very glad to have something to do for 40 hours a week and I’m pretty damn good at my job, it has been rough from a sleep schedule perspective.
Combine that with not really being able to see anybody but my wife and there just kinda being nothing to do I wake up every day with almost nothing to look forward to. I try my best to keep my mind in survival mode and just focus on doing good work and saving as much money as possible, but winter depression is definitely setting in and I don’t see an end to that in sight.

Yeah. If there’s no fantasy sports on a particular day i’m basically just youtubing till my wife and son are back and then wait till the day is over. I tried picking up chess but being bad at something right now is really not helping my overall self esteem and mood.

I muted the politics category and will be confining myself to my Arts & Entertainment forum with jaunts into Sundry. It’s a good boundary for me and how politics affects me.
I feel intensely lonely for the kind of quality time I need. Let 2021 be the year I stop looking for it in places and people that don’t fit.

Shit, sorry fidget. No one ever knows what to say at times like this, but I know you’re very proud of her and can feel good about your relationship with her too - these are things you’ll cherish for the rest of your life.

Sorry to hear. It’s always hard but even more difficult than usual under the current circumstances.

I am so sorry for your loss. Losing my mum was the hardest thing I have ever been through. Cancer took her, I really feel for you and your family. Your mum would be so proud of the love and support you’ve given her.

I know most people here have bigger problems than myself but I gotta say I’m really hurting these days. Hope everyone else is making it each day.

Everyone is feeling it at this point. Always remember, empathy is good but never think your emotions and self-care should be sidelined because others have it bad. We can’t help others if we don’t help ourselves first.
