It's been three weeks since I saw my counsellor in real life.  We have Skyped twice and missed a week due to Easter.  I'm so over it, this Coronavirus situation.  Meanwhile, nothing is getting done for selling the house.  House prices are dropping, the agent is advising to sell now incase it gets any worse.  I'm running out of money and there's no money to pay bills, etc.  My car is past it's rego day.  I need normal again, routine, need to see my counsellor, the drive into the city to see her.  And if that's not bad enough, when I do see her, for some reason it's uplifting, I am fine, talk.  I don't feel me when I am talking to her.  It's like when I was taking care of my mum, cheering her up, keeping it light, positive, etc.  I don't know why I am talking like that.  I get off and go home and feel depressed again.  Just really tired and fed up.

This sounds tough. Emotional plus financial hardship is super tricky. I have no great advice. Other then do one thing right now to make your nerves feel better. Clarity comes when I’m always from a calmer place. Then take small steps from there. I hear you. It’s An incredibly hard place to feel ‘stuck’. Thoughts are with you. 🙂
