Lost mojo/in a funk

Can anyone relate? I feel like since the pandemic I am living in a fog almost. Everything feels effortful, although I do enjoy things once they've happened, it's more the thought of them happening and the effort to prepare i.e. having people over, a holiday etc.

I feel in a weird state of mind where I'm almost thinking 'oh god, just get me to retirement with nothing major or upsetting happening' and I'm only just in my mid-thirties. I really just want to feel much more carefree again but don't know how.

I have a lovely young family and a nice house but I just feel so flat. I am constantly going over home improvements (an extension would make the house work perfectly) then feeling defeated at the rising cost of everything. I can't seem to focus on one thing and I end up getting completely overwhelmed and my to-do list gets longer and longer with nothing getting ticked off.

I'm rambling but I just wondered if anyone else felt similarly?

Yep! Struggling to get motivated to do anything tbh.

That said, it hasn't just been due to the pandemic, I've had other things on my plate as well. I feel like my life is no longer my own and I have no control over anything 😕

Hope things get easier for you @hellcatspanglelalala - a bit of an odd time just now

I feel very similar

My dad is dying, my mum is unwell, I'm due to go back to work in a few weeks after a year of mat leave, the cost of living is creeping higher....

Everything just feels overwhelming, and I have no motivation to sort anything. Would really like to just go to bed for about 6 months and wake up to everything being fixed!

Totally, feel like I'm wading through treacle. Everything seems difficult. I have no patience either and I'm fed up.
