Struggling.....

[FightorFlight11]

I'm really struggling this week. I'm so mentally and physically exhausted from my anxiety and depression. I just wish I could be happy without depending on others to supply said happiness, but it is so difficult to try and love yourself when you just don't feel it. All I want to do is sleep so I can turn my brain off...........

Hello 👋🏽

Im so sorry you’re feeling like this x did anything in particular happen this week to trigger you?

Maybe you just need some down time and some self- love x I find when I’m really struggling I just listen to my mind and body and just relax .. doing things I love xx

Keep talking and sharing x it’ll help 💕

Thanks Hope. The below link to a previous post is the main reason why I'm struggling this week. I have co-dependence issues so when she is unavailable and I have to provide self care I struggle.....

ahhhh sleep. that's all i want too. i feel your pain. i'm sorry you're going through this.

[FightorFlight11 in reply to kjm3719]

Sleep is the one place where I'm at peace.

[kjm3719 in reply to FightorFlight11]

exactly. it's like being dead or not existing so you don't feel any pain.

[FightorFlight11 in reply to kjm3719]

Its so sad that sleep is sometimes the only refuge.....

[kjm3719 in reply to FightorFlight11]

I hear you. I agree.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I go through patches of this too. I know how hard it is to self love I’ve tried so many years. Try to find things that will bring a little smile to your face, force yourself out into the fresh air and go for a walk. Listen to music. You can do this!!!

[FightorFlight11 in reply to Col11]

Listening to music is one thing that helps get me through these rough times. No clue what I'd do without it!

[FightorFlight11 in reply to Igor4253]

I feel the exact same way 😪

[FightorFlight11 in reply to sandphoenix80]

Sorry you feel this way too. Its nice to vent so feel free.

[sandphoenix80 in reply to FightorFlight11]

Yes I agree cuz the very few in my life and I mean few don't get it.

[FightorFlight11 in reply to sandphoenix80]

Yup. If they don't go through it they just can't understand. Everyone on here does. Any time you need to vent please feel free.

[sandphoenix80 in reply to FightorFlight11]

Thanks and likewise for sure!

I reached for help from my primary care doctor.. I'm on Zoloft and start counseling next week... the Zoloft im not too happy about, Having a shut off brain all day isn't the same as being me.. I feel like a freaking zombie ugh

[FightorFlight11 in reply to Knowone]

Yeah it can take awhile to find the right meds. That is one thing I don't want. I don't want to lose myself because of too much medication.

[Knowone in reply to FightorFlight11]

I completely understand your train of thought i expressed my concerns to my doctor, she told me it wouldn't be permanent.. things will get better for us, hang in there keep fighting.
