Hi, welcome again
What you are experiencing is a "rut". Lack of stimulating events or unhappy lifestyle in my experience does this.

Hi KFPDW
I have been feeing exactly the same for a while now. So glad I am not alone. The other night I felt as if my brain just switched off like it was telling me I can’t take anymore. I have no easy answers unfortunately but it is so tiring isn’t it? Wish I could just turn off my anxious brain. Do you find it hard to explain how you feel to others because I feel no-one understands what I am going through.

Hi Booklover17,
I definitely agree with you and feel like we're both on the same page. Yep, it's hard to get through and I can understand how it would be tricky to explain to others without them misunderstanding what you're saying. Bottom line, I know how you feel and I hope you can fight this as well as I can. I can suggest trying the suggestions White Knight mentioned in his post above. It's worth reading the forum topics he has written, it may help turn things around. Well I'm willing to give it a go. I wish you all the best and hope things get better for you soon. 🙂
