The worst thing about 2020

I was unable to Vote this time, my answer wasn't in the list.

The worse thing about 2020 isn't even Covid related, 3 old aged pensioners who live in my road died this year, in fact the funeral of the latest was in fact today. All of the three were good friends of my Mother and I.

Worst thing for me to deal with was my son missing out on things I had planned, holidays, toddler groups, soft play, spending time with other children and seeing family. This wasn't the life I'd imagined for him.

It will come lovey, just give it time. And when he's older you can tell him all about this nasty time. 💖

The pubs shutting. I live alone, in a flat. I rely on the pubs to see people and socialise, my local I can just walk in on my own and sit and speak to anyone because I know them all. I can’t see my mum because she was a chronic illness, though I will be seeing her over Christmas I have tried my best to stay away. Loneliness is horrible. I think it’s something that has been very overlooked.
I have also worked through the entire office and I can imagine it’s hard furloughed but it’s also been hard working with little interaction the the workplace and also my job is working in an office but I can’t do my job from home either

Thank you, things are already looking up. I was made redundant after being a 'key worker' 🙄 but I've already got a new job with only a few days unemployed, my new work schedule means I have more time to do all the toddler stuff that's started back up. Feeling positive for what comes next. Been lucky to have my wee boy to focus on through all of this 😊

I know it’s some what trivial but my cat being hit by a car, nearly making a full recovery but having to be pts 4 months later. I’m finding being a home so much since his death really hard.

Being dumped during 1st lockdown.
Not being able to make any friends/socialise when I started my PhD in January.
Zoom fatigue.
Not seeing family as often.
‘New normal’ 😖

This must be really tough, honestly don't know how I'd have coped if this happened in my 20s as I lived alone in my flat and literally lived for the weekend after working my butt off all week! Pubs are a lifeline for so many and it's so overlooked as 'drinking and partying' but there is a real community there

Yes its been really difficult! And it’s more than just going piss up. I feel sorry for the old regulars who are now retired and live alone too, they go on a daily basis 😔

The total fuckwittery called Brexit really hasn't helped anyone know what to expect during this so-called transitional year.

When in actual fact it's been nothing more than a bunch of clowns in a circus ring arguing the toss and not giving ground on anything .

My family had a tough year. By far the worst year and not for COVID reasons. But yeah i was panicking about catching it in the beginning until more problems started unfolding.
