So my 2020 has consisted of, more or less in order:
My aunt getting admitted to hospital on January 1 with no idea who she is, where she was, or who my relatives were
Said aunt getting diagnosed with a brain tumor... specifically stage 4 glioblastoma
My brain deciding that this was a good trauma trigger for a past event (I was living with her at the time), so I had a complete mental breakdown which resulted in me being sent home for a week with benzos because I had been having a panic attack for 3 days straight
Still on meds for that one
School suspended, and teaching my child with ASD remotely did NOT happen
Spring break trip for smol human cancelled
One of my cats died (in April)
Then my aunt died (a week after my cat)
My last remaining grandparent had a stroke. On my birthday.
Summer trip for me and smol human cancelled
My BIL got COVID
I forced my friend twice into hospital with suicidal ideation because the first time, they just sent her home with drugs and said 'see you in January'
Birthday stuff for smol human cancelled
Christmas stuff cancelled
I think that's been my year-ish...
Oh, I'm also an essential worker in a hospital. The burnout is real. At least I'm not on a COVID ward.
