Going through the motions

Stuck in the awful place. Of nothingness and emptiness. Afraid. Have no self confidence or ability to do many things. Have a decent job but don’t know if I ever lost this job what I would do. I couldn’t work physically or outside in the rain cold or hot. I get the fact that. Well if you don’t work. You can’t pay bills or eat. And then you die. Or are homeless. And things go way down south from there. I don’t even know how to be positive. Just stuck in this place: it’s been a whole too. Any tips? I don’t know. When will this end?

Doing counselling. All the positive things. Eliminated anything negative. Still struggling

I'm not sure what to say to be helpful, I've got the blues myself. I think a lot of people are just feeling stuck these days. I don't even have a job, I want to work but I really do have trouble when things get really stressful. These are rough times but I believe we're about to turn a corner and things will get better. ❤️

Don't borrow trouble. You have a job....why are thinking horrible "what ifs" to yourself?At this time in our life, you are lucky. Take one day at a time & really appreciate your employment. Unemployed for 6 years, I would give my left arm to have a job again, a purpose, a wage....the feeling that I'm worth something.

Try to think of ways to do everything better at the job you have. Really put your mind to it. It will get noticed, give you pride in yourself at the end of each day for doing your best. Plus it would be less likely that you would lose your job. Maybe even get a promotion.
