Hit with a wave of just...depression, anxiety & frustration today. And anger.
I'm tired of being indoors. I'm tired of being cut off from friends and family. I'm especially tired of Zoom video meetings, and working in my cramped apartment during what has ironically been the busiest time since I started at this company.
Our wedding and reception were supposed to be on 5/2 (and the honeymoon was supposed to start the next day), which we've been planning and preparing for for more than a year, and now it's all gone to hell. And the stress of trying to put a backup plan in place is causing a ton of strain between me and my fiance. Feels like trying to do a sudden 90 degree turn with an aircraft carrier. Especially because all of our vendors are inundated with calls from other couples in our same position.
What really sucks is not having that light at the end of the tunnel, the day marked on the calendar when we can all go back to our lives. But I'm sure that day is way off still.
I always really try to get to that place of gratitude. "hey, I still have a job, and my friends and family, and a place to live, not everyone's so lucky." But today it's failing me.
