New year blues

As the new year holiday is upon us I’m feeling very down and bummed that I will be entering the new year still so depressed and anxious.

I feel like I’m losing hope on things getting better and that starting off the new year this way is like a bad omen or something that might mean this whole year is going to be off to a bad start.

Is anyone else feeling this way or feeling something similar as New Years is upon us?

I think a lot of people feel this way every year. All we can do is set new goals and hope to follow them and make the New Year better than the last one. Happy New Years!! All the best to you!

Yes I felt bad yesterday. I stayed in bed most of the day. Thought about how I did nothing in 2019. I only worked for 2.5 months and walked out on a job I had been at for 12 years. Been hiding and avoiding everyone since last March. Last night I turned all the lights out at 11:30 so my husband would think I was sleeping and I could avoid the whole happy new year stuff. Then I worried and obsessed that he will find someone from his past to fall in love with and leave me. Finally I took a sleeping pill to celebrate the new year in peace. 🤓
