Lethargic rant in general

It all feels so mundane and crap really. I still live with my mum and stepdad, stepbrother with mental disability.

I should be somewhere else but instead I'm stuck feeling like a lost kid unable to kickstart any kind of motivation to change. I'm expected to well be an adult I guess, as adults should behave with proper responsibilities. I slack in that department.

Mostly I'm lonely in my mind, a bit selfish and not sure if I'm ever just going to end up with a normal sleeping pattern, a job that I can do without a mental breakdown and to just be brave and to get on with my life.

it's a constant fight and it wears me out. Only I can be that catalyst for change and yet I struggle each and every day to find a reason to get out of bed. It's stupidly infuriating.

I did 100 squats everyday for a month and just starting to fall back on that.

Mostly I game online to escape my head, it isn't much fun anymore but it stops me from far worse scenarios.

I have a boyfriend of 16 months now who is independent, supportive and in a much more secure mindset. I'm on 40 Prozac a day to stop me crying all of the time, in fact I mostly can't. More of a numb interchangeable mood that changes each and every day.

I'm on esa for now and on a waiting list for intensive CBT therapy / counselling with talking changes, the waiting list is 8+ months.

I've done more in the past 2 or so years that I've been with my boyfriend than I ever did in 10 years or so. (Left school at 15 with Gcse's before the Rules changed)

You must be happy with your boyfriend if you have had two good years.

That means you can enjoy life.

Hopefully when you get into CBT it will help you.

You have and are going through so many difficulties. Good for you doing the squats to get some exercise. Being in our head can definitely be a lonely place.

Thanks. Yes especially when many just don't understand. It's not like I'm not thankful that I currently have a support system, I am just always continuously thinking about the past and what if's. Mostly down to a traumatic childhood but when is enough, enough... It just spirals really.
