Hello, new to this site. I thought it would take me to a chat room... anyways... umm hoping to meet people who share similar experiences like myself. I feel as if I'm in a never ending slump. I have alot to be grateful for in my life and I try to be mindful of this but I've recently lost interest in just about everything. And all I ever feel like doing is sleeping. What I feel is a bit hard to explain. Anyways... well thats my 2 cents

Hi Clover! Welcome to the group. I am new here too. I can relate to feeling tired all the time. 😖

I like your name. I find four leaf clovers a lot!

A bunch of four leaf clovers in a mini, dark blue glass vase.

Welcome to the group! I have suffered from anxiety and depression in the past and have felt like that before. It's actually a lot more common, I think, than people talk about. I used to write a blog but I never shared it with anyone. It helped me to write out my feelings so I found it somewhat therapeutic. Then one day, I decided to share something I wrote about my anxiety on social media. I was terrified because I thought people would think I was crazy or look at me differently. But it was the total opposite. People I had known for years started private messaging me thanking me for sharing because they had experienced it as well but were afraid to talk about it in public. It was a real eye opener and also so good for me to know that I wasn't along.

May I ask if something happened that triggered you feeling that way?

Thank you for your kind words. Really appreciate it. I honestly can't say what triggered me to get this way. Maybe it was something from my past or just me being overwhelmed by life all its experiences. I'm very self conscious and I guess I can be hard on myself.
