Lost my mojo and feeling down

2 replies

I've always been very upbeat, happy, optimistic and enjoyed good health & a strong relationship with DH and our wider family. Honestly life has been good to me and I'm very lucky.

But in this past year I feel like a different person. I've stopped exercising and eating shit (so put on weight and don't like the way I look) but the main problem is feeling like a dark cloud is constantly hanging over me. Nothing significant has happened in my life just a few tricky things - awful teenager, parents not too well, finances tight - but none of those life altering.

Is this peri-menopause (no other physical changes although periods slightly heavier) or is this just my charmed life catching up with me? And more importantly how do I snap myself out of it and get my life back on track before it starts impacting my work and family life. I keep telling myself to start exercising the better et cetera but I last about a day before going back to where I was!
Help!

As crappy as it is sounds I started slimming world in December, and honestly I needed a group and something to hold me accountable. It may be worth taking up something active you enjoy and building from there :) I am also in perimenobtoo and it is hard - recommend supplements (quite a few on the market) to manage done if the low moods too

Thanks @Seago678 maybe a group to hold me accountable would help but not sure I want sw. Maybe an exercise class or some sort of social group ?
