It’s safe to say that each day, although pretty similar (like Groundhog Day!) can feel different emotionally! And today I’m feeling those lockdown blues!! It’s hard to admit for most of us that some days we just feel shite! I know I find it difficult expressing difficulty some days.

Lockdown 3.0 for me is soooo much different from the first lockdown! So my whole processing of day to day is completely off scale! Last lockdown, I was pregnant, quite sick, working and only had 1 child who was actually still in school as I was a ‘key worker’. This was immensely easier than this time; I’m not working so socialising even in work form has gone, my brain isn’t being challenged, I now have 3 children to entertain 24/7, I’m home schooling a 6 bored and frustrated 6 year old and I barely get time to think to myself! All this as well as housework and trying to keep a tidy home which if I’m honest, I fail at daily!!!

How to change these blues to rainbows? Pfftt I don’t think anyone actually knows and I think we’re all taking it day by day! But I do think that actually if you want to have a shit day, then have one! Stay in your pjs, watch crappy tv and eat snacks just go to bed with the idea that tomorrow is a new day and it will be a better one!

I know there are so many people out there suffering badly with mental health throughout this pandemic and I am truly grateful for the amazing things I have in my life such as happy healthy children, a beautiful home, and so on! let’s just work together and hope that this shit storm will be over soon!

If anyone is struggling with mental health throughout all of this, there are organisations to help!! Please please reach out to anyone, you are not alone!!!!

Love always, Gee x
