Mentally, physically, emotionally drained

As an anxiety sufferer i realized that its a constant battle of getting enough rest or laying in bed at night overthinking.. But I've also realized if we don't take care of our disorder. We will get triggered. Its a constant struggle of me trying not to feel fatigue, drained or having no zest for anything. All i do is lay, watch TV, hoping some time or the other this negative feelings and thoughts will just go- away and I'll feel my normal self again. However this pandemic has made it harder for everyone suffering from mental health. Because we no longer do the things we enjoy and somehow we feel okay with it because home feels safer. I cant even go to a mall without feel suffocated or anxious.

The weather is turning warmer our side of the world lol

Yes it’s been a difficult year alright.

I feel so tired all afternoon, look forward to bedtime, and then lie awake overthinking and ruminating unhealthy stuff.

Sleep needs to come knit up the raveled sleeve of care... come on, sleep.

I am in a similar situation.

Yes you are right, those with mental health issues are suffering from Covid19 even if they don’t contract it. More anxiety, more depression. More risk of suicide. It’s a shame.

I don’t go to malls by the way even when things are normal. Too crowded and loud!

Nicer to take a walk in the park.
