Feeling stressed and stuck

Hi! Recently I've been dealing with a great amount of stress due to many reasons. I have big dreams but with this covid and number of lockdowns I feel like time is running out and I feel worthless. On top of that my girlfriend, whom I've been with for 5 years told me that she sometimes gets a feeling that she wants to be a nun (Buddhist). She is a lot more religious than me. So now the future our relationship is uncertain. Because of all these things I'm constantly unfocused and have no desire to do anything but to sleep all the time. I really don't know what to do and it creeps me out.

First of all I would like to thank you @tallMoon5752 for sharing how you feel with all of us. 🌺

​​​​​​The past few years have been very challenging for everyone, I can tell from experience that uncertainty has been the pain character of the pandemic and it has made us question everything we once thought was so certain and true.

Despite all of this, I've found comfort in focusing in the little things, the here and now, that is all we can hold onto, I began trying to do little things day by day without focusing too much in all of the things that were outside of my control. It helped to release much of the stress I had accumulated by giving something to focus onto, such as performing little tasks like sending a mail or folding the laundry, I felt the sense of accomplishment and survived yet another day.
