Highs and lows of the week?

Highs: my voluntary work. I'm not going into detail, but we're making a big difference.

Lows: I'm having flashbacks. Trauma's a bitch. (I'm a bigger one and I will be ok)

Highs, coming home from work to my supportive, loving and amazing family every day

Lows, taking constant abuse, rudeness and ignorance from customers not observing isolation on a daily basis.

I'm deeply empathic, it's really starting to affect me emotionally now...

Highs, finding out one of my bestie’s is having a baby girl

Lows, approaching the second death anniversary of my best friend, and more heartbreaking as it’s also the first anniversary of his son and one of my best friends too, and the first birthday without my grandad, and I can’t get a hug off the one person I need one from, because of this lockdown. I can’t shake the guilt that I couldn’t stop my friends son taking his own life, and really feeling it at the mo as I hear of so many people feeling alone xx

Highs: still employed, friends + family all well, zoom yoga, kitties, plenty of food, frequent calls from my Dom whom I feel closer and closer to with every passing day, amazing feedback regarding a job that i missed by a hairs breadth

Lows: to anxious to leave the house, lonely beyond belief, worried about a suicidal friend whose job just got furlonged, really worried about a family member who has to go to hospital for onging tests, aware that my company are about to reduce working hours + pay

My heart goes out to everyone who has lost someone during this really challenging time and to everyone going through lows currently, wishing you all love and sending virtual hugs x

Something that's helping me climb out of my psychological hole is solidarity. I come from a place with a strong history and culture of volunteerism in the community, we all look out for each other. I'm working on translating that in the current circumstances. Remembering that we're all fighting this. We're not alone. And we can lift each other.

Maybe this will help some of you too.

Lows. Snapshots of people's grief, seeing statistics that are a little scary, having an insight in to this shitstorm no one wants or needs, the ultramarathon I've been training for since November being postponed till next july. Next months holiday being cancelled

Highs. Lots. Seeing my gf and being in the position that we are both so busy at work it really is quality time together. Sunset walks. Quiet commutes. Streaming gigs. Government sanctioned running and cycling. Booking a holiday for next January. Connecting with people. A vile bully getting their comeuppance and playing a significant part in that. 8pm on Thursday.

Highs:

Parties with friends and family chats on Zoom. That nearly all my family and friends are still ok

Lows:

Hearing from friends and acquaintances that they have lost people they know to the virus. In fact the news of any of the deaths saddens me.

Hearing that friends are struggling with the isolation and their fears and anxieties. I wish I could help more.
