--- Quote from: _sydney_vicious_ on September 20, 2020, 12:39:41 AM ---Yup! The end of 2018 sucked because my and my boyfriend went through a breakup. A few months later in early 2019 my brother passed away so I had a rough time dealing with that most of the year. My boyfriend and I also got back together in 2019 but we still had a bunch of bumps in the road so 2019 was rocky for me. This year started off fantastic though, and things were doing a 180 - I was finally happy for the first time in a long time and then all this happened. Thankfully my boyfriend and I are still together and I have a job, but this year also took so much from me. I was sad when this all happened, but now I'm livid with how China hid this for months, and then our own government has been incompetent from the get go (both federal and locally). I had SO much planned that has now fallen through - things that can't be picked up and resumed next year. On top of that my mental health took a beating. Our state opened, then closed, then opened again, but has closed once more and they haven't given us a date on when we can get back to normal. I'm a social person so not being able to be out and about or see my friends every weekend hasn't been easy. 2021 can't come fast enough.

Sydney, thanks sharing your story! I'm terribly sorry to hear of your brothers passing. I can empathize with how difficult that must've been for you because losing anyone close to you is so difficult, but family is the worst. Mental health is such a big topic of concern right now because living situations have changed and people, like you, are now having to adapt to a more reclusive lifestyle. Me, I'm used to it because I'm more of an introvert, but we are not meant to be couped up alone in our homes because we are social beings. I think everyone is struggling to some extent and 2020 just feels like a series of neverending trials and tribulations, on a global and personal level. Let's all put forth some positive energy out into the universe to manifest a better year ahead! And I said this to the other two posters, as well, but don't hesitate to PM me if you ever need anything!
