Having a rough time. Feeling really down and hopeless. No energy and have been in bed for days. Don’t want family or friends to know because I have felt this way before a d they will probably lose their patience with me. I am afraid for the future as I am on disability and am afraid I will end up in assisted or long term care.
All I do is sit here and think about things like this. Any suggestions?
I'm sorry you feel bad. But you're not alone. I feel bad too. Is there any way you can force yourself to go for a walk or a drive?
I'm so sorry that you are feeling that way. I have no sage advice . . . but I can tell you that the thing that most helps me is the common suggestion to take things day by day, hour by hour, and if necessary, minute by minute.
Anything you can do to distract yourself is good, like bonker's idea.
Do you ever journal?
That is the other thing that helps me.
I wish you all the best.🌹
I'm sorry you're going through this. I don't know if this will make you smile but when I saw your name, I thought yum, a fishfry sounds tasty🙂I lived in New Orleans and fishfrys always meant good food and lots of fun.
Thank you for the reference to New Orleans. You brightened my day with this!
Hello. I have had to really push myself to start doing things again, too, recently. I was just going through the motions. I found though that when I started incorporating little things into my day it greatly helped. As I felt better, I started pushing myself to do things outside my comfort zone. It's a work in progress.
I hope you have a nice walk with your caregiver today. I started doing word searches again. I am hoping to start a puzzle today. Best wishes!
Wise words and I hope your puzzle and word searches go well today!
It really helps me.I've read that it's a way to "process" your feelings.
You’re absolutely right. I put too much into what others think about me. Thank you.
