@BreakForTheLight we are here for you at least.

I'm sorry you're having a bad day and I was reading today your country isn't doing too well at the moment either. It really does impact on us, and it's been almost 1 year now.

You're right of course, aside from the pandemic many of us have other issues in life that we need to work on and live with, and yes you're right even when we're all vaccinated those issues will still be there.

Yesterday I went for a walk and it was nice and sunny but also very busy - even though we are in lockdown and supposed to be staying at home the roads were at a standstill leading to the beautiful beach near my home. I felt quite rattled by all the activity and noise and could not wait to get away to quieter place. I live in an urban/suburban area so there seems no where I can go to be quiet!

I was reminded my issue wasn't really people ignoring lockdown as the risk is low outdoors - I just hate crowds and chaos and noise and I always have. Other people crave it - they must really have suffered this last year. Anyhow it was an old issue and reminded me I need to work on coping with noise and activity, and tolerating it.

As for you Break, yes you have challenges but I want to remind you that you are a very strong person - you have pulled yourself through a pretty awful situation this year. You reached out to us here. I know there will be lots more too (positive things you have done), that you haven't written about here.

I hope in a while you feel good about using those pamper products you got yourself - you deserve it.
