I am struggling and i think i cant control myself
Hey. Sorry you're feeling this way. I'm not working right now and I feel useless. I have so little energy. I try to just focus on what I can do. I'm taking care of my elderly father, I made it to the gym, I got some chores done. Tomorrow maybe I'll be in bed all day but I'll deal with that when the time comes. Keep your head up...you DO have a purpose!
i am working everyday and i just miss the feeling of being excited about life and not living with worries and stuck in your own thoughts
I understand exactly what you are saying. I don't have an answer. Life has ups and downs. You are aware that you are feeling bad. Maybe try finding a therapist if you haven't. I know that life changes. Sometimes I'll find myself being happy, if even briefly, and I don't know where it came from. I look forward to those moments!
I used to be an active-i do sports a lot and exercising a lot.Not blaming covid but yeah at some point,i developed an anxiety and a panic attack.Which ive been staying strong since last year.
I stopped going to the gym last year when they closed. Then they opened but you had to wear a mask. I gained a lot of weight but a few weeks ago they fully opened again...mask free. I've enjoyed being back. It's hard but the more I go the better I feel (at least physically). I hate when people say....go exercise and your depression will disappear. It doesn't work like that. One day you'll feel good enough to dip your toes back into old habits and you'll realize how much you missed it, whether it's working out, music, books or even socializing.

Mornings are difficult for me. I often struggle to get going and I dread the upcoming day. You could try starting the day with a positive saying like : " Even if I don't feel like it right now, I am strong enough to get through this day". It doesn't matter if part of you doesn't believe it. Just say it anyway.
When I am having trouble getting anything done, I sometimes write a daily or weekly schedule. You can print out blank schedules for free or just use a piece of paper. Maybe just write down what absolutely has to be done so it's less overwhelming.
You can do it! Little, manageable steps at a time. 💚
thank you for replying amd sharing. Ive been up since 8am and now its 4am which i cannot sleep at all.its affecting my daily life and i really really wanna to the baby step.its draining me and the worst is im not getting enough sleep.
Lack of sleep makes everything seem bad/worse.
Can you try treating yourself like you would treat someone else who came to you with the same problems? Be gentle with yourself and if you are sleep deprived, just do what has to be done during the day. Try to get at least a little exercise during the day.
I sometimes have that
thank you for replying.Yes i spend most of my days in my head.Like its really hard to live normal without racing thoughts.
Does music help you? I like to listen to motivational music on Christian radio - like KLOVE station. The songs on there really help propel me through the day. Some of the songs talk about common struggles - and asking for God's help. They always offer to pray for people too. Prayer is so helpful! God Bless You!
