[Hopenope]

From few months almost 4 to 5 , i am completely hopeless like no aimbition or completely blackout like i can't do anything and this feeling is that much over me that even trying many ways to get over it is not working. I was a energetic and workaholic person and very dedicated toward my goals but now i don't know who i am especially where is that spirit.

Hi. I totally understand where you are coming from, and hope that you are able to find some comfort and peace. Something that one of my sons said to me a while back seemed to help me a bit...I commented to him that I just didn't have any motivation, wasn't able to bring myself to do anything except lie in bed and sleep the afternoons away. He said, "that doesn' t sound like you are unmotivated, you are motivated--to sleep and rest." I try to remember that now, and try to cut myself some slack when I am in the bad places. I know it's hard; it feels awful when you know there are so many things you used to enjoy doing, but can't bring yourself to do any of them. It's hard when you're questioning whether you'll ever be able to laugh or smile, and feel truly happy again. I know, and I do hope you are able to find help.

Sometimes are bodies need that rest time. The inability to do most anything becomes to feel too much and overwhelming, It can be a response to something traumatic or s symptom of something that is trying to process through your nervous system but gets stuck and disrupts your entire nervous system w havoc. Or depression can be a response or an imbalance that makes it hard to want to do anything. I have been stuck from early trauma that went untreated and recent events exacerbated the anxiety to not be able to feel the want to move -like a deer in headlights- but just from inside out.

I personally shut down my breathing so then my thoughts race to what might happen and so I’ve internally decided no way I can’t go through this stress of trying and exiting energy while my anxiety fights me. I’m working hard now to get my nervous system from misfiring. Wishing you both the best and pad yourself on the back because by not doing your body is actually working hard to stay okay ❤️

Hi Bob, I am only being affected by COVID in an indirect way...so far no one in my family has gotten sick, but our business (wedding venue) has been shut down all year, so we are struggling with that. Worried more about our employees losing their livelihoods at this point, about us possibly having to file bankruptcy if this whole mess doesn't go away by Spring/Summer. I know this is exacerbating my chronic depression, so I try to cut myself some slack on the bad days. Thanks for asking; hope you and yours are doing ok.
