I really need help and basically a massive kick up the arse.
I'm eating rubbish, not exercising, tired all the time, lazy, fed up. I'm on anti depressants and they make me feel flat and disconnected.
I want to exercise, I feel better when i do but I always have this weird block about it, like I can't exercise cos I will do it wrong, be rubbish at it, or I just can't be bothered. There isn't any exercise I enjoy although was doing weights and they did give me a good endorphin rush.
I just feel totally fed up with life, its just constant work, kids, housework, washing up, repeat and repeat.

Thank you, it's never occurred to me before that my anti depressant could be making me worse!

Oh. I’m similar, and also taking citalopram. Honestly, I could just go back to bed for the day most days. So tired. So bored of all the same shit that needs doing and never getting near the bottom of my list. Nothing ever feels done, I just hit obstacle after obstacle. Just CBA with any of it. Was managing better in lockdown (brave face for the family)

Also have dogs, so walk every day. Also can’t leave them (new-ish rescues. We’re working up to it) and broke as all-get-out, so spending all my time saving pennies and not enjoying life at all (yes I know poverty and fun aren’t completely mutually exclusive, but it is a bloody killjoy and everything takes more effort, which I just don’t have in me). worried about the future (both the general and my specific) but it’s too overwhelming to deal with. I’m self employed, and really could do with getting a job to see me through a sticky patch, but it seems so complicated, I don’t even know where to start.

I don’t watch the news, but everyone else does and wants to talk about it. You can’t avoid it.

It shouldn't make you worse but everyone is so different. It may be that you need a combination
