Generally I'm a happy person, always smiling and laughing, nothing ever really got me down.
My mental health is something I've always struggled with though. 80% I'm up, high as a kite. The other 20% when I'm low, I'm really low.

I've been out of work since lockdown hit, this is something I'm really struggling with as there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. I need to work for my own sanity.

The past 4ish weeks, ive not wanted to get out of bed. Not eating properly. Not sleeping properly. Feeling very drained and very numb like I just don't care anymore. I don't have anyone to talk to IRL about what I'm feeling.

I cant relax either, nothing I do seems to work. My overthinking brain won't be quiet, music helps sometimes but not everytime.

I need to get myself out of this. Times where it happened before, its just passed and I felt normal again. But this is the longest I've ever been like this and I cant see a way out.
Can anyone suggest anything that may help?

It’s happening to a lot of people, losing a structure to daily life is hard. There’s also a subtle social pressure to perform, must learn a new skill, tidy, bake etc. Just take it slow. When you go to bed aim for one minor thing to be achieved the following day, even if it’s just getting up at a specific time. Add to that slowly until you have a structure that you feel you can cope with.
Good luck! 💐
