No motivation and low self esteem

2 Replies

Today I have no motivation. Feel fat and ugly and have no interest in Christmas as cannot afford to buy presents for my family. Christmas to me is buying presents (nothing expensive) just tokens to say how much I love them. I've never got into debt for Christmas and have always lived within my means.

I go out so I don't get too depressed but when I look round it just reminds me of how broke we are and makes me feel worse.

I know I am rich in other ways by having a great family but cannot help how I feel at the moment.

It's just a vicious circle.

Sorry to hear that Sorrento. I do know exactly how you feel but I don't have the great family. Can you make things for christmas? Knitting or something like that? x
