I feel very much the same way. Since the pandemic happened, and especially up to now, I find myself not liking this world much and feeling more irritated about the smallest things. We have the pandemic plus political unrest and racial differences. Just having one of those is more than enough to bear.

I will say that the pandemic has not made my social life go down much further. It was already not that great before it happened. But at least there was hope to have an opportunity to make my life better. So many times I had worked pretty hard to make my life better in so many ways and didn't succeed.

Also, since the pandemic, I've felt like I don't like my job anymore. I used to like it a whole lot. So many people are working at home now and I miss a lot of them. And the people that work at my site seem like they are in bad moods. I've wanted to retire now. I've wanted to retire because of the way things are going at my job now. I didn't feel that way before the pandemic hit. And if I were to retire now, what would I do with myself since everything is so restrictive.
