Current Events > This summer has been one bad thing after another for me.

(+) Yeah! (+)

For about seven years I had no real reason to complain about much of anything. In that time I got a career that I enjoy and make good money, I have had opportunities to travel a lot more and see the world and I finally was able to buy myself a condo and pay off the mortgage early. Even during the lockdown when I was temporarily released from work it didn't get me down.

So much has changed in these last three months. One of my best friends had her life nearly taken by a stalker who killed two members of her family. I have not been able to contact her since it happened despite by best efforts which has and still is breaking my heart.

Last month my cousin unexpectedly had a heart attack and died in his home and then my grandmother passed away as well.

Now I am stuck in a European hotel room after testing positive for covid. My symptoms are getting better and I will go for another test tomorrow but even if it is negative I will not finish this vacation and instead make arrangements to go home. The worst part is the insomnia I have developed from this which will not go away, seriously I sometimes felt like I was going insane until I picked up some sleeping aids which are not perfect but do help.

Hopefully I can go home soon, rest in a comfortable environment and get all the proper help I need. It has been a long time since I have felt this bad physically and mentally.

Damn that's a lot for the past few months. Best of luck

Wow... really sorry that's definitely a lot to go through in just a few months... were you close to your cousin?

Having things crumble after you've finally felt some success is an especially harsh sting

I was closer with other cousins than with him but it is a tragedy. Sadly it is the deaths of my friend's family members that overshadow my own due to the horrific and violent way they were killed. I really liked everybody I met in that family, it is something I will probably never completely get over.
