Feeling low

[Gypsygirl264]

I'm new here and feeling particularly low this evening. This morning I was thinking of returning to work and now sitting here I don't know if I can face it. My emotions seem to be all over the place and I'm tired of living with this head space. I feel like I've been fighting for years and it's exhausting. I'm really trying to put all my previous therapy skills to use, I tried going out and doing something nice for myself but It was too much too soon, today I've been at home but even that feels overwhelming as I feel constantly guilty for not being enough or doing enough.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and thanks for everyone's support, it's been helpful knowing I'm not the only one feeling like this.

I wish everyone else a better evening.

Hey, and welcome to the site. I don't post that much, but that's mainly because it's pretty quiet on here these days. The decision to go back to work is so hard isn't it? I've had two periods of sickness in the last year and both times I think I went back too quickly! x

Thank you for replying. Guilt seems to rule my life at the moment, I don't like the thought of letting people down and as much as I like being at home, avoiding people and interaction, maybe having something to focus on would help? It is so difficult to know what is the right choice. Thank you for responding. I hope you are well this evening. x

Hey

I’m new here too today and feel similar. I don’t have loads of advice to offer and I myself am struggling but I’m glad we have both found this platform for help and I hope we both receive the help we need.

Just sending love,

Ro
