Tired

[Truetomyself]

At the moment I feel really tired and exhausted from my anxiety that is now impacting my depression.
I am also tired of having to hide it. Especially with work.
I can't afford to loose my job but I can't say what's really going on.
I am scared and unsure of what to do. I have lost jobs because of my mental health being so up and down.
I have no one to talk about it to.

Hi Truetomyself,

That's great you are looking for a job.

What interests you?

Nightfill is a relaxed job and the teams are usually very friendly if your interested in something like that?

[Truetomyself]

It's hard I am 39. So I genuinely am unsure. Once a teacher. I love to help others. But not sure where to go from here.

My tiredness hit me like a ton of bricks today. I'm over it. The last few weeks I have struggled to get out of bed and be productive. Sleeping patterns are all over the place. I was a close COVID contact and just stayed at home mostly for about 10 days. Yesterday I went for a long walk in the morning which was great but the days feel empty. I live alone. I got back home and had breakfast and went back to sleep. The gym, social activities - just, nothing sticks and the cycle repeats. I'm tired and no amount of therapy, massages, mindfulness or anything helps.

In short I'm all over the place at the moment and having a setback. I'm sure I'll be fine, just need to vent.

I understand, helping others is great…. Have you thought about doing a volunteer role?

Hi bluemoonbluesky,

Im sorry you are feeling this way.

How would you feel about starting your own thread so we can support you on this thread?

[bluemoonbluesky]

Thanks Petal. Not sure but I may have had a thread before but I'll keep it in mind. I'm fine, no worse than normal over the past 3 years, it comes and goes in different stages.

I can't get out of bed. I am not showering or eating much. I can't sleep. My depression is really bad. I am stuck as to what to do.

[Truetomyself]

I am lonely. I have no one. No friends and am struggling. I am finding it hard to get out of bed and I am in bed all day. I don't know what I am doing with my life. My anxiety is making it hard. I am struggling with my mental illness. I don't know what to do.

[Truetomyself]

I am struggling. I am finding it hard to eat or drink. I am not well. I feel like I want to hurt myself and am needing to release the pain. No one understands how hard it is. I am alone and can't see a way out.
