Oh god I am so sorry that happened to you @independent_ that's awful especially if they threatened you with court as well. I'm always here if you need someone during this time . I'm sorry you have to go through that especially during the festive period too.
Bless you, you really aren’t alone feeling like this, I’ve not felt festive all season. This Christmas has been really hard for me so it’s near impossible to be happy. Sending hugs.
Turns out that half of my family has covid (me included) so that's fun... But yea it is fun. As bad as covid is I'd still prefer this over spending Christmas alone
Sending hugs to you, we are here for you if you want to talk about things.
" So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all the joy they're bringing, who can live without it, I ask in all honestly what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me "
'' It's a beautiful day and I can't stop myself from smiling "

Im so sorry to hear that you covid!. I hope you get better soon and have plenty of rest over the christmas period xx. Sending you a special hug .
Is there something you could do to distract yourself? Any techniques you’ve learnt? Maybe write out how you’re feeling, it doesn’t have to be for anyone. Sorry I’m not of a lot of help, I don’t have much experience with this. Please keep safe
