Why when your depressed and anxious on a daily basis does it feel worse when your sick. Seem like all I do is cry pass three days and hurts more to control myself not to. Could be my lack of sleep too but that's nothing new 😔

Hi Jewlz,

This is the result of the body and mind both being unwell at the same time. As a result you feel worse than usual for longer. When only your thought and feelings are not doing so good your body is affected for short periods of times before that passes.

Being physically and mentally exhausted is no fun but in fact it is natures way of recouping energy for the next day and the one after that.

Be kind to yourself and give yourself permission to just be. Do something just for yourself, it could be as simple as going for a short walk or taking a long bath.

Go well

I wish I could do something just for me so I can recover faster be little more mellow but in my situation of single parent working and when I'm not it just me and my son hard to take a breather he still young and challenging that it does help me stay focused but there really no relaxing. Hopefully I'll get a break on the weekend 😔 I'd like to be able to just sleep

I feel exactly like the person who posted that everything is just hopeless. I have questioned why I am here forever. The feelings come and go.

It's like living my life in a ping pong match a crazy back and forth motion with my emotions

Hi jewlz

YouTube has loads of relaxation/reiki music it helps me relax and gain a better perspective.

Praying helps me! When I finally surrender to GOD,I find some peace.
