I don’t know where to start

[Luna13]

Hi everyone. I’m new here. Just wanted to say a bit of how I’ve been feeling for about a year now. I do work a full time job from home. Although I must admit I don’t feel 100 percent focused during work hours. I still try my best. I have no motivation or energy to do anything. I know there are things I need to do on a daily basis such as work, eat and walk my dog. I am a divorced mother and have my children half of the time and do what I need to do for them. But once those things are done I just want to lay in my bed and do absolutely nothing. I feel this way every single day and I don’t know how to snap out of this. I have gained weight and have lost a lot of confidence because of it. I avoid going places where I might run into someone I know. I have completely isolated myself. I feel alone.

I'm so sorry. I know how you feel. Living is hard when you don't want to, or when you feel like there are so many things weighing down on you. Do you feel comfortable sharing what has been hurting your heart for so long? I'm here to listen.

Hi Luna. so so sorry for what you are going through. I hear your struggle and how sad you are. It might really be worth considering seeing a therapist on a regular basis. Sharing your deepest feelings may unlock things that are hurting you and causing you to want to isolate. You may not have grieved your divorce. You may have fears that you can overcome with the help of a therapist. You may need a job change. You may not have adapted to the kids being gone. Whatever the reasons, you deserve to be at peace and to be in a better place. You need to take the first step and you should! You owe it to yourself and it will benefit your kids greatly as well. Allow someone to walk through this with you. You should also allow trusted family and friends to come alongside you and help you through the tough days. Make yourself a priority and take the steps forward to feeling better.....you are not meant to be alone or go through this alone. I wish you peace.

Thank you. I am considering therapy. I was trying to fight it. I’ve only had therapy once in my life and it was for my divorce. And I think it helped a lot. I think I still need it for my past Trauma. I still want thank you forReaching out. 🙂
