Confused and burned out

[Sabbath_Star]

I have not been here or posted for a very long time yet lately I have been extremely struggling and running low on fuel day in and day out. The pandemic and not being able to land a steady job has added to the marathons or stress I suffer from each day. There is a whole lot more I could add to the list yet I know the fact of expressing my feelings to a support system like this helps every bit even in the loneliest of times. There is now that I am thinking of it is that I wanted to go to the hospital just to escape everything though it never happened. At this point the matters I am dealing with are unbearable at times that I almost act a step or two from being manic and out there. The only thing I do as well as all of us that suffer is to take a sense of mental health time to focus and refuel the tank in order to maintain sanity and composure. I used to have to go to the website to post stuff on how I am feeling but thanks to the HealthUnlocked app I am able to access things a whole lot easier. So I hope and wish myself that I am not afraid of expressing my feelings and together us and the people that do not understand will indeed smash the stigma behind mental illness

I hear you. Covid has gotten to most of us I think, With lockdowns, masks, social distancing and hand sanitisers, sometimes I want to break all the rules, but as a retired nurse my mind won't allow it.

I'm still a little nervous of going out, but I need to sometimes, in order to keep up my bone strength and fitness levels. I have brain fog, gained weight, and lost fitness in the last 17 months of lockdown, and as I'm old, it doesn't help.

Cheers, Midori
