So many things happening

Blackknight — Wed, 12 Jan 2022 10:52:45 GMT

Hi all,

For a while now I have been feeling quite sad, hopeless, etc. I am always tired, even with a 9 hour + of sleeping, I am struggling to keep up with work with how tired I am being. I have lost interest in things I loved doing, I am hardly social with any of my friends. I had just recently broke up with my girlfriend that lives so far away and I hardly got to see her. We couldn't do it due to the distance. I hated that I had to do it , it was just too hard. I just want to be able to feel that happiness I did years ago, I am slowly becoming more social and meeting new people.
