Hello All.
First time poster.
It's great to see that I'm obviously not alone which I knew.
Over the last month I have felt down and sad for reasons I really can't seem to understand.
At times I sit there and tears are about to flow but I stop myself.
I know it not weak, but I feel lost.
I have a great job (albeit demanding), a great family and other extra-curricula activities (coach of footy and cricket teams).
Recently, as stated above I have no motivation to get up each morning, my productivity at work is rapidly decreasing, I dont seem to care as much for my work.
I also have no general motivation for extra-curricula activities including maintaining my lawn which I used to love doing.
I have seen a psychologist once after a referral from my G.P but it was only a 'meet and greet as such.
I want to lock myself up in my room and keep away from people. I start things but have no desire to complete them (can't believe I am forcing myself to do this).
I know I need to address this concern but I feel ultra guilty to be absent from my workers and my family at times to get myself better.
I sit here, typing this thinking of the next thing I have to do and already this is making me sad.
I'm lost.
I'm not really asking questions as such but I would love to understand what could come next for me with some insight from others who may have been in this situation.
I am not sure I will act on it though. I want to get better but I dont know if I want to act upon it (if that makes sense).
Thanks for reading. Ahhhhh.

Thank you Tim.
I will certainly look to implement those pop up notifications when I get back to work!
Thanks for the awesome words too!
Keen to get through this and appreciate the support.
