covid blues/depression - no motivation to keep planning

Hi, everyone -


I must admit that my excitement for our June 2022 wedding has sort of taken a nosedive. On the one hand, I’m optimistic for 2022, but I’m also a little bit sad about it because I don’t know if things will be okay by then. I can just hope for the best and prepare for the worst, I suppose, but it’s becoming harder and harder to do that lately. It also doesn’t help that news broke today of tighter restrictions in the UK and I have every intention of inviting some of my UK family for our wedding and I really want them to be able to attend. I recognize that my wedding is over a year away and a lot can happen between now and then, but I’m struggling to keep afloat and keep my positivity going. I’ve sort of put the remaining planning on the back burner and taken a break as there’s only a few small things left to do, but I find no motivation to get back to it. Even the excited things like picking my jewelry, shoes, etc. has fallen to the wayside and I don’t have any interest anymore. My fiancé and I are just a little tired of everything going on with Covid, etc. and we are trying to keep away from the news, but it’s been tough. We are becoming bored with our routines (or lack thereof) since this whole thing started and it’s just a bummer. Has anyone else felt this way?
