Feeling really low

16 Replies

Hello folks . Not feeling great again sorry . Now I know I've been low for quiet some time now and know I've been getting worse. Well been putting off food shop and washing bedding over this last week . Not been out since Saturday . I know that's not bad but it is for me because last week wasn't much different. Staying in bed all day most days . Not sleeping great . Can't make plans know where to go . I keep telling my self the get a grip and say to myself it could be worse. But all that's doing is making me feel even lower . I'm not looking for you to say do this or that . I'm more just letting off steam . But please feel free to say hi and how are you doing . Take care peeps

Hi 2Grandmar. It’s ok to vent and it’s ok not to be ok. That’s why you reach out like this and vent. It’s ok to put things off as well. It will all be there tomorrow. I get like this too. The more you tell yourself it needs to be done.. the worse you feel. And the more you don’t get it done, the worse you feel. I totally get it. We weren’t made to be perfect. Self care is so important. You just focus on you at the moment. There will be better days. This won’t last forever. I’m In a rut myself these days. It’s so hard to get unstuck. So with this post, I’m speaking to myself as well. It definitely could be worse but to you it is bad and you can’t compare yourself to anyone else’s misery. Hang in there my friend.. you’re doing your best. I’ve had my ex husband harassing me for a year to pay for my kids college that’s well above my means.. I don’t have 50k fork out every year for the next 4 years. But his lawyer sent me a letter that I need to respond to his demands or a sheriff will show up at my door or work and embarrass me. So that’s got my stress levels through the roof.. My well being is in the toilet as well. So even if you do one thing that’s beneficial for you.. then it’s a good thing. Take care of yourself. As they say... this too shall pass.. right? I can only hope. We got this thing called life..sending positive vibes your way. Hugs

Sorry to hear about your 50k problem. I hope you get that sorted.

Hello, 2Grandmar- I can totally relate to your predicament. I wake up feeling sick most days, these days. And then, even if I start to feel better, I just end up back in bed, full of gloom that it's going to happen a over again the next day. Like a sick merry-go-round.

I know I'm not in the best place and things aren't at there best in my life right now. depression, anxiety, Menopause to name a few things. What ever the universe has in store for me I wish it would hurry up one way or another . I'm not a patient person sadly . This is a lesson I need to learn . You take care jjhart

Thankyou Brighterdaysahead

You are not alone, 2Grandmar. 💗

Last night was not good for me, after doing so much better. It is so disappointing to take two steps back, instead of one step forward.

I found these words of wisdom and will share them here, maybe they will help you.

It’s okay if you thought you were over it,

but it hits you all over again.

It’s okay to fall apart

even if you thought

you had it under control.

You’re not weak.

Healing is messy.

And there’s no timeline for healing.

I'm sorry you are going thru a low time, I know it's hard to get the energy to keep going, or to go and do when you feel no direction or drive. What a bout possibly taking a good vitamin? It can help your body, giving it what you need to deal better with stress. Make sure the vitamin has extra B vitamins and extra magnesium since they help with energy and nerves. Also, in the midst of menopause, progesterone cream can help a lot to balance hormones and give renewed energy. Also, volunteering can get you beyond your own problems and help you find like minded friends, it gives you purpose too. While you are helping others, it helps you too. Best to you dear! =)

I struggle with depression and there's times I spend too much time in bed. Just be kind to yourself and do what you can. Don't try to get a million things done when you know you're not feeling well. Sometimes I need time alone by myself just to journal and recharge before I can get back out into the world. Doesn't mean that anyone's lazy, you just need some time to yourself.

I have every day to myself. I don't need any more but I do know all about needed time to ones self thats for sure . I take vitamins drink plenty of water . I'm doing everything I can to try and keep sane . Nothing else I can do. Its a state of mind that runs deep over 45 years deep . I write a journal and have counsellor.

Sounds lonely, I'm sorry. But you have us on here and I'm rooting for you!!! Maybe try to do some kind of craft??? Like something with your hands? I really hope eventually you feel better.💖

I think its a life long condition. I don't have the facilities or the motivation to take anything up right now as my circumstances are stopping me moving onwards until I'm in a place of my own . But thankyou
