Scream with me?

[undecidedowl]

THIS IS SO FUCKING HARD!!!

IS IT NOT ENOUGH TO JUST SURVIVE THIS TRAGEDY?! NO PROJECTS, NO NEW LANGUAGES, NO PINTEREST, NO HOMESCHOOLING, NO MAKING THE BEST OF THINGS. I'M JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE!!

[Leeham Rimes]

If I didn’t have a headache and likely a sinus infection, I’d totally scream with you!

[ellipses84]

Seriously, go sit in your car with the music blasting and scream. You will feel better. My work talks the talk of being supportive but they are stressing everyone the F out right now and I could really use a scream about it. Today on a call we talked about therapeutic crying, which I think we’ve all done.

Wine. Prosecco

[wowhead]

I’ll scream with you!!

THIS IS SO FUCKING HARD. MY GRANDMA DIED LESS THAN 3 WEEKS AGO AND I COULDN'T SEE HER BEFORE SHE PASSED. NOW I HAVE A GOOD FRIEND IN HER 70’S WITH SEPSIS WHO IS IN ICU ON A VENTILATOR WHO LIKELY WONT MAKE IT. I JUST FUCKING CAN’T.

I’ve accepted that my kiddos (one that was already behind and made really great progress) will just go back behind. I’m ok with that, because the alternative is nothing I can achieve. Otherwise, I feel helpless. And I am NOT A TEACHER!! I’m not qualified by a mile. The things I can teach is nothing they’ll need or want to know. Lol.

I know that’s not super helpful, but you soooooo aren’t alone. I’m sorry to all that are struggling.

My boss started a meeting today by “inspiring” us with the fun fact that King Lear was written and the Theory of gravity was discovered while under quarantine.

SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT—IM SUPPOSED TO BE A PRODUCTIVE WORKER, TEACH 3RD GRADE AND PRE-K, WORRY ABOUTMY FRIENDS AND FAMILY......AND NOW IM SUPPOSED TO RISE TO THE OCCASION TO BE FUCKING SHAKESPEARE OR ISAAC NEWTON?

Nope.

Nope.

Shakespeare and Isaac Newton weren't working full time and homeschooling kids during their quarantines. I'd wager money that Shakespeare's wife spent a fuckton of time making William's life easier, and Newton was living with his MOM, so, no. Not the same at all.

MY UNCLE DIED FROM COVID-19 AND I AM UPSET I CAN'T BE WITH MY FAMILY. THIS WHOLE THING SUCKS. I WANT TO HUG MY AUNT AT HER TIME OF GRIEVING.

I am so sorry for your loss. My Aunt and cousin were not able to be with my Uncle when he passed this week. It is so difficult to handle the emotions surrounding it. 

[flamingeaux]

I KEEP SEEING SETS OF PARENTS BRINGING THEIR INFANTS AND CHILDREN INTO THE STORE I WORK AT AND I WANT TO SPRAY THEM IN THE FACE WITH LYSOL. ONE OF YOU STUPID FUCKS SHOULD HAVE STAYED HOME WITH THE KIDS.

I’m sort of a SAHM (maternity leave) AND I’m a teacher. And it’s not easy at all!

I went into an actual store today for the first time in three weeks. I will not be doing that again for quite some time. It was horrifying. I kept having to move quickly to avoid people just walking right on past me. From now on we’re making do with what we get from our weekly grocery pick up where I literally don’t have to leave my car or get within 6 feet of another person. I don’t understand the families I see walking into stores. It’s baffling and terrifying.

Try going first thing in the morning (or right after senior hour if your store has that). The times I've gone first thing have been fine. The time I went in the afternoon I had a panic attack in the cereal aisle because people are not staying 6 feet away.

DH, HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO GET CHEESE MELTED INTO THE CARPET?!?!

[lexxasaurus]

THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR A POTENTIAL BREAKUP. I AM SO FUCKING LONELY AND SO FUCKING ALONE. SEEING PEOPLE IS OFF LIMITS, HUGS ARE OFF LIMITS AND ALL I NEED IS SOME DAMN PHYSICAL TOUCH AND AFFECTION. THIS IS BULLSHIT, THIS IS THE WORST TIME TO DEAL WITH THIS. I'M SO DAMN FRAGILE AND FEEL LIKE ALL I CAN DO IS SURVIVE. NOTHING MORE. JUST CAN'T.

[Pom]

wowhead, melmel48,

My deepest condolences. This is so heartbreaking.
