Feel unfulfilled

[Kshisiali48]

I feel numb, like a robot going through the motions. I’m not excited or looking forward to anything in my life. I just work and try to take care of my son. I don’t feel like I’m good enough, no matter how hard I try. I’m lonely and tired of it all.

I attempt to subdue similar emotions with work as well. When I’m not working I feel like I need to be at work in order to feel needed. I also find myself questioning if this mindset is the exact reason for my behavior/anxiety. That it is a double edge sword.

Oh I can relate. Getting little bits of exercise helps me feel better. Nothing too strenuous, but even simple stretching seems to helps get the blood flowing and lifts my mood.

However, most of the time I get too wrapped up in my head to schedule time for myself. I’ve noticed my better days are those where I get a little bit of exercise.

I feel bad that my son will be like me (depression) when he’s older.

Not sure that my words will help but I just want to say that you are not alone. Take some deep breaths. You are a good person. I’m also experiencing the same feelings that you mentioned so, even if my words don’t help just know that there are others out there dealing with similar feelings. Big hugs.

Thank you very much

Why you do not feel good enough? I am going to group therapy and it has helped me to understand my feelings better. A lot of my group peers also say that they do not feel good enough, but that is because they were abused by their parents and were treated like crap by their husbands. Please analize the issue in depth, maybe that is what is making you feel bad. I wish you the best... For you and your family. Good luck. 🤞

I go to therapy and take medicines, but it seems like these things are not enough.

Ksh, it may feel like it, but you are not alone. You have done a positive thing for yourself by reaching out. Take it just one minute at a time. Do something that will make you smile, even briefly.

I will try to do that. Ty

Even trying is a start!
