Can't face the day

[Mone147]

So this morning I woke up and I just didn't manage to get out of bed. My alarm went off like two hours ago and I'm still here. I feel like shit cause I had to call in sick again but I just couldn't find the strength to get up and face the day. Does this happen to anyone as well? Usually I force myself to go out and go to school or to work so I have some distraction and to not let people know something is wrong with me. But then there are days like today. And they keep happening. I really don't want this. But it feels like a 100 kilos pressing down on me making it impossible to even lift a finger. I just tomorrow is going to be better.

Hope your feeling better ! Keep your head up

This happened to me many times. I kept everything to myself didn't want to share with many as I was fighting myself to support my child and with my dreams. Day by day I changed the way I think, talked to very positive trustworthy few people genuinely and started days anyhow with prayers. I survived you can do that too. If anything keeps you worrying try hard to leave those thoughts, people and the environment. Keep yourself busy always. May god bless you!

Hi Mone147,

I know this feeling is terrible. I feel the same before, but I decided to focus on self-care and changed my routine. I indulge in meditation, exercise, a healthy diet, spending time with my loved ones, reading books, etc. I tried to keep myself busy and create positive energy whenever I can, which helped me feel better every day.

I think this will help you too.

I try to this every day. It does help a lot! But sometimes I just can't focus on anything because I feel so down. But I'll try to have a long walk later and enjoy a nice cup of coffee while crocheting. I'm sure it'll make me feel better. Thank you so much!

Hey, I think we all have days like this. I went though a time like this a while back where I must have called into work for a week straight. Just couldn't get myself out of bed for the life of me. I think we all need some time to ourself though to relax and do the things that we enjoy.

I read above that you like to crochet, you should show me one of your more recent projects sometime if you feel comfortable enough doing so. I crochet as well, just working on finishing up all my Christmas gifts. 😊

[Mone147 in reply to Blackedout]

Thanks for your reply. I managed to get up and distract myself with finishing projects around the house I've been wanting to do since ages. Makes me feel good to get stuff done. Now I enjoy the sunshine while having a walk with my dog. The sun can do wonders, I feel so much better already.

Well I've been only working on some small projects like headbands and hats for the winter. I don't feel that confident about my crocheting to be honest. But if you have any ideas for Christmas gifts I'd love to hear them! I always love to give away self-made presents.

[Blackedout in reply to Mone147]

I am exactly the same way! I'm not the most confident in my work yet and have stuck to mainly small projects and hats and headbands as well since they work up well and I can wear them myself. That and a few small blankets for me since I only notice the unevenness 🤣 I find I give more away than anything. I just love how calming it is and the feeling of accomplishment when I've made something so cute😊

[Mone147 in reply to Blackedout]

I totally agree! There's nothing better than the feeling when you get to wear a self made headband or something similar for the first time. I made one for me this summer and I finally got to where it a couple weeks back when it got cold and it is so cute 😍 and I started crocheting a blanket but I got so impatient because it takes like forever 😂 I'd love to see some of your work!

[Mone147]

Thank you! I'll definitely try.
