Fed up 😞

[weegmack]

Does anyone else feel so utterly, utterly bored and fed up with themselves......but you can’t go out because you’re too anxious or depressed?

I feel that way sometimes. I feel like going out probably won’t help. (Even though sometimes, it *does* help.)

Sometimes I feel utter despair because I’m messed up in the head; I’ve *always* been messed up in the head; and now I’m 55 years old and I might be this way forever. I’m so tired of feeling bad.

I hear you 😕. I’m 44 and I’ve always been very anxious, but the depression is more prevalent these days. It’s very lonely. It’s a wet day where I am and I just don’t want to go out and I certainly don’t want to bump into anyone I know today, as I think I would burst into tears.

I’m sorry you feel so bad too ❤️

Would it help you to sleep?

[weegmack in reply to Kat63]

I ended up having a sleep, thank you ❤️. Just a rubbish day xx

Looks like you are talking about me. Accurate description.

Therapists say we have to get out in the world and be with people even tho the whole process makes me more sick.

I'm fed up with me. The anxiety/panic disorder has steam rolled over my whole life and changed me into someone I don't like. Those mantras where I'm supposed to say I love myself--- well, that only reinforces the negative thoughts.

Turned off the TV, stopped reading internet news and spend the nights in bed and days on the couch.

It's called depression!

First time I've ever written such a negative post. Sorry. Had to get it out. Therapist on vacation and she doesn't let me talk that way.

Don’t apologise. What you’re feeling is just awful and I totally understand how terrible you feel. We are very similar! You’re right - we’re told to get out there, go walking, meet people.....yet all these things seem like moving a mountain. Getting through the day is just exhausting and turns us into shadows 😞

I feel you I just went out with one of my friends (who is extremely socially gifted and does'nt even know it) and it just ruined me to see how easy it is for him once again. The worse part is want to feel happy for my friend, and I am to some extent, but it's always tainted by jealousy...

Oh yes, I know that feeling so well. We long to be like them, but our minds and bodies won’t let us 😞😞

Weegmack, I suffer from GI issues myself from having C-diff for 2 1/2yrs 😔. I can understand the anxiety that comes with having to go out 🚙 and leave the security and privacy of your our home🏡. I focused alot on my diet, kept a food 🍲journal on what my body can & just will not tolerate. Once I was able to figure out what's agreeable with me, more and more I was able to break myself free 👼of the anxieties that came with going out, and now I am able to 😉! Work with your body, but most importantly, GIVE YOURSELF the time! Good luck to you!

Peace ✌ Love 💑 Support 🙌.
