Low in mood & no motivation

Hiya,

Im feeling low. Hate feeling like this. My whole body feels it. Physically. I have had a tough year. My dad died April 19’ from leukaemia complications when we thought he was recovering and my uncle died very unexpectedly at the beginning of the month on the flight home from holiday. I have been struggling to take it all in.

I now have my 96 year old grandmother to watch over. She is very capable and fiercely independent but now very lonely since both sons died. I work mon- fri and have a 4 year old to look after. I also currently have gallstones that play up all the time. Very painful.

I recently completed on the house I purchased with my inheritance and expected to feel some kind of happiness from that bit I feel nothing.

I feel a whole lot of nothing, irritation, sadness or pointlessness at the moment.

If i could stay in bed every day i would. All I want to do is sleep.

I have been on venlafaxine for years and years. All the docs do is refer my an online cbt type thing, done it before and it doesn’t work for me personally.

Don’t know what I’m after here really. Just someone who can understand me somehow.

Feel very lost, pointless

Hope you are all well

Becki

Hope they can do something for you and take things slowly, because of your health and where you might be with your mental health after such a loss. Keep well. Rest and get better

Hi Becki, I can understand exactly how you feel. I am going through a very similar situation and sometimes dont know how to handle this. All I do is work alot and divert mind to work. If there is anything else give me a shout.
