I'm properly depressed about what has happened to the UK.

I've not slept properly for about four years now. All I think about is how to get away from here.

Nobody in the real / non-Twitter World seems to be taking any real notice of the chaos going on. They "keep calm" etc

I've been told to "stop watching the news and reading about politics. You can't make any difference, stop trying, accept it" and "The Government wouldn't do that, that would be stupid" whenever I've pointed out actual facts and policies.

I want to escape from the UK, but can't

I was hoping the transition period would be extended, but now I can't see it happening.

I was hoping to escape in August, but that doesn't look likely either, with the pandemic.

I'm 50 this year. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in Brexit Britain. Yet there's no escape

I didn't want any of this shit.

I've locked down to stay safe. I've done the right thing. I've done my best. Tried my hardest.

Now I'm gonna be stuck on this fucking island during a 20 year Brexit inflicted depression.

I'm not sure I can do it.
