Doom and Gloom Everywhere

It seems like there is doom and gloom everywhere I turn. It's getting me down. I don't feel able to talk to any of my friends, as they are being affected by Covid (either having it themselves or dealing with loved ones with Covid). So they have so much to deal with and have no time to talk to me. I don't feel able to talk to my family, as they are busy with working or home-schooling and stressed out during the day. Everyone is so caught up in their own chaos, and I feel very lonely. Abandoned even.

1 ·Sounds very tough especially when everyone around has their own things.
But you deserve support too!
I know you don't want to bug them but have you ever tried talking to them and seeing what they say?
Alternatively there is lots of support available here including group chats which are back running from tonight
We're always here to listen! ❤️

0 ·I'd like to echo Stephanie in saying welcome to The Mix community
You're absolutely right that this is a difficult time for everyone, whether they themselves are being affected by Covid, caring for family who are, or dealing with loneliness during lockdown. It can be very easy to compare our problems to others' and worry that we might be taking away from their support if we share our feelings. But I promise that the way you feel is completely valid and you deserve support too.
How have you been feeling today? Please keep posting in this thread if you'd like to share more

0 ·I recognise that I've been comparing my own problems to others' and really invalidating my feelings. So, thank you for that reminder @chubbydumpling
I'm still having to convince myself that I, too, deserve support and my feelings are just as valid.
I journal everyday, so that helps, and I have written down what I would like to say - but I'm still struggling to approach others with my problems and express my feelings without feeling like I'm bothering them and without knowing know if I'll even receive the support & comfort I need from them.
