That Dark Cloud

[A_Peaceful_Mind]

No matter how busy I try to stay, that moment where I take that little 5 minute breather, that horrible dark feeling begins to sink in again! I just don’t get it and the feeling is also hard to completely explain. I’m scared in case this is all that there is to me for the rest of my life! What if it comes to a point where not even my children can keep me going?! Moments in the day I’ll feel excitement about my future but then there is other moments where I get this horrible dark feeling and I feel as though I don’t have a future and that there is nothing more for me to do on this earth! I know it’s a load of crap as I do still have my beautiful children to bring up but it’s just how I feel! I try to stay as positive as I can but sometimes it’s just not always possible unfortunately!

Hi A_Peaceful_mind and thank you for your post. I am sorry to hear things are so difficult for you. Have you spoken to your doctor about the way you are feeling? He/she will be able to help and support you. Medication and talking therapies [or both] can help. Can you identify why you may be experiencing such low mood? Things will get better, please try to believe this. It would be advisable to ask for medical help. Do you have family/friends who could support you? Please do not lose hope, you are not alone.
