I'm wasting my life

[Muchneeded]

Hello all,

It's a beautiful day outside and I can't get out of bed. I tried to force myself to do stuff and go right back to my bedroom when I'm done. I got as far as the kitchen and did dishes that's it! Please someone help me!

Well done you got out of bed! You need to be kind to yourself and pat yourself on the back for the little things please be kind to yourself

I didn't sleep last night because I had a panic attack at 1am and I couldn't recover. Now I'm exhausted! I just want to sleep for a few hours but my body won't let me.

I totally understand I was awake last night through the anxiety and panic attacks. It feels like hell on earth. Have you got any support around you?

No not really

I am the same way. Hang in there. Keep waking up and doing the dishes. Love yourself. Just because we are struggling doesn't mean we are not valuable people. I don't lose faith that there is hope and change is possible. I'm not sure if I am waiting to hit rock bottom or what but I do know I am a good person who is experiencing personal problems right now. There's a ton of us out there, even though it seems like everyone else has got it all figured out and is sooo happy. You are not alone

That's great you got yourself out of bed and did the dishes! Give yourself credit for that as it's very difficult when the old depression has you in it's grip. Every time you think a negative thought practise giving yourself a positive one instead.

When you think 'I am so lazy for not getting up til late' follow it with 'Well done for getting up at all feeling like I do'. This isn't easy but keep doing it and you will find you do it automatically. Well done. x
