DAE feel so lost at the moment?

Does anyone else just feel so lost and utterly sh*t? I'm in my early twenties and yet I'm constantly sitting here thinking what is the point in all this. I'm not depressed, but I'm well and truly fed up. I don't have hobbies that make me excited anymore, my relationship feels beyond flat and I'm currently living in a town where I know no one, and am on a temporary contract so I don't even know if I'll be here long enough to make any meaningful connections.

I've put on weight, hate my appearance and practically live in my flat in my jammies until about 4pm, where I put some clothes on so my boyfriend doesn't think I've sat at my desk all day looking like a slob.

I live too far from my family to just go and visit them for an evening, but by the time 5pm rolls round, I'm far too tired to even bother thinking about doing anything other than lying on my phone on the couch.

I can't believe I'm living this life, to be honest. I used to be so active and felt I really had my own dreams and aspirations in check but I feel so, so lost now. I'm also currently feeling very sorry for myself and just broke down after eating half a bag of chocolate buttons Confused

Yes I am totally burnt out and really understand what you’re saying 💐
Maybe you’re depressed? The thing about activities you once enjoyed not giving you any joy anymore stands out as depression to me.

At least we aren't alone @GoldenLightNights. Flowers Thanks for responding. What do you normally do to pull yourself out of burnout?

I just googled the difference between feeling sad and feeling depressed, hoping that I wouldn't relate to the latter, but sadly I do. I think I've felt so down for months now that it doesn't even register to me anymore. I'll look into it tonight.
