So many things happening

[Blackknight]

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.

Hello there thank you for your post and welcome

Im so sorry your feeling this way and I'm glad to hear you are slowly becoming social, close bonds act like protective factors for when your feeling down
