Looking out of a window, to a world that we cant control makes us feel helpless. The current situation with everything going on from Covid19 to brexit to job security, is enough to push people over the edge. My own situation in the past year hasn't been great. Back in 2006 i gave up work totally to care for my grandmother who had been diagnosed with dementia. I cared for her for 6 years until 2012 and while the country was going Olympics crazy, i was stuck in a world of depression because my nan had died. I sat at home now without a reason to go on or so i thought. I had just spent 6 years caring and forgetting there was a world out there and now i was back to being able to go out and live a life again i had forgotten kind of what i was supposed to do with that life. Yes i had anxiety too and i realise that now plus yes i was depressed too. After a while i realised that i had to get out and doing things. This though was hard to begin with as i didn't want to do anything. I had to really push myself to get out and get on with things. So yes i get where you are coming from with this post. Sure sometimes people say things and we don't understand fully the context to what they are saying and can mistake what they say for something else. I do this with text messages quite a lot. Ill even go to the point of phoning someone up to ask them if they meant what i was thinking their text would say. Yes life can get better and be less "scary" but i think we all have a bit of doubt in us. You should never let anyone stop you dancing, but yes i agree maybe a pandemic is the only one who should stop you.
