Freakin struggling

[Strongest123]

Hello everyone on here. Lately I’ve been struggling more than ever. I’m retired due to my mental illness. But lately any little thing happens and I feel like crying. I feel overwhelmed constantly and full of despair. I’ve posted a few times on here, but this is probably the one time that I feel so low. Horrible negative thoughts come into my head and I can’t seem to enjoy myself at all. I can’t even enjoy being with my little girl. Lately it’s been a damn struggle. I’m currently taking 200mg of Zoloft and 10mg of Trintillex. And on top of that my APN, who prescribes my meds doesn’t return my texts or phone calls. Thank you. SAMSON

Hey, didn't you say you were a keen weightlifter? (Now I understand where the username comes from...)Does any of that help your mood? Or any kind of exercise at all? ✌️

Hi. Yes I’m an avid weightlifter. I’ve been helping my daughter with her online classes lately, due to the pandemic. She doesn’t allow me to lift at all. She constantly interrupts my training. The only time I can lift is when she’s with her mom. I have her right now but im actually going to go get my 2nd shot today and im debating whether or not I should keep her tonight. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adore my daughter and would do anything for her, but my training helps me stay sane. SAMSON

Constantly being interrupted (even by oue children who we love desperately) while trying to do the things that keep us sane is really bad for our mental health. This pandemic has gotten to me. My routine has been upended, my kids and husband and I have been cooped up together for a year with no breaks. My exercise routine has been cancelled for a year. It is a hard time! You are not alone. I kind of think that we need to be in "survival mode" right now and do whatever we need to to keep ourselves going.💚

I would just keep harrassing your doctor until you get a response. Also, a good therapist could help if you don't have one. Good luck!

Am sorry you are going through this 💪✨♥️Why not make schedule for your training and your daughter's studying time

[Strongest123 in reply to Jubmay]

I’m definitely going to try and do that. A routine is so important in mental health
