I should say, I'm not living in the UK so accessing things like medication or counselling is a bit complicated. In any case, I'm not sure I want medication at this point.
But I feel really quite down over the last few weeks. It's like raging PMT the whole time. I'm tense and irritable, and feel like crap. I've just finished studying and should be trying to get a job, but that's all up in the air, as is my freelance work. I am in a vulnerable health group so have to be careful of the risks as covid is obviously still around. I have chronic pain, and this is really not helping my mood either.
Motivation is very low, I have not exercised in three weeks now as it feels impossible and I get pissed off when it makes my joints hurt more. I can't even make myself take my vitamins, ffs. It all just feels like so much effort and weirdly exhausting.
I started journalling today, hoping that might help. Plus, I think I will make myself do some very gentle exercise later.
So that's me. Can anyone relate? Does anyone else feel a bit depressed and overwhelmed at the moment? Have you found anything eases it?
