Anyone else in a weird funk atm?

[SaltedTortilla]

I'm in this weird mood. I have been for a good month. I can't shake it off or snap out of it. It's affecting my every day life. Nothing seems to satisfy my craving to cure the boredom of everyday life. I think I could go on the most amazing two week holiday and it still wouldn't be enough to satisfy this funk I'm in.

Ever since the clock change? Absolutely. Grey days, feelings of meh. Desperate for a change of scenery

Yep, am utterly lifeless at the moment. Cannot muster enthusiasm for anything and there's no joy. Endless worry about money, endless grey days, endless cold and murk.

Yes I feel utterly fed up with my life...... I have a great life and wouldnt change anything so have no idea why i feel this way but for the last month or so i feel bleurgh about everything.

Same here. I really struggle once the clocks go back. I'm literally waiting for spring. I hate winter and all that entails, even Christmas is something to get through . I need to live in the sun I think.

I was just thinking about this! Yes I feel completely deflated at the moment too. I can’t really be bothered to do anything or arrange anything but then I end up feeling listless. I’ve had a lot of stress over a long period & I sometimes experience this sort of feeling when I come out of it.

Totally feel this. Basically I just absolutely cannot be arsed doing anything

Same. And tiny things making me tearful for no reason. Things that wouldn't bother me at all normally. I am flat at work, can't be arsed at home.

Everyone is so unhappy at the moment. There’s just not that much to look forward to.

I feel the same. I feel like nothing I am doing is hitting the spot and I’m feeling stressed all the time and finding it hard to relax.

I'm the same. This time of year is bleak for me.

Only 38 days to go until the shortest day and then we get an extra 2 minutes of daylight. Wooohooo.

Yep, signing in.

I've felt a bit down these last couple of weeks, too.

The thought of another long, cold, dark & wet winter is the main reason behind it; I find winter much harder than I used to. On top of that, I hardly get out of the house, then there's the general cost of living, I'm skint and it's all a bit depressing.

Hope we're all feeling brighter soon.

Yes

I'm the facilitator at home and sometimes it is a lonely place

I sort, order, organise and am there for my DC but they are at the age now where they sort of don't need me there physically as such, it's a very weird parenting phase. I'm never sure whether to stay in just in case or if being on the end of the phone is good enough- but even then I'm not sure what to 'do'! There's only so much gym / coffee / looking at the shops to be done....

I love the festivities but Jan/Feb/mar is looming and I find them the most difficult months.

Funny creatures, aren't we!

In my case, the fact it's not properly cold at the minute is just irritating as I'm always dressed wrong it seems. Plus peri-menopause hot flushes don't help...

I think we've all been asked to be resilient for so long, time after time, with no end in sight, that people are starting to wonder what the point of anything is.

Yep. Flat as a pancake, not interested in doing anything. Can’t get excited about anything. Dreading birthday and Xmas when I’ll have to pretend to be thrilled with whatever bit if rubbish I don’t want.

This is absolutely me. Just counting down the days til March now.

Yup. I feel flat and just uneasy & unenthusiastic about life.

Yeah, I think I am a bit meh

I loved the hot long summer this year, was out and about all the time doing lots of activities.

CBA right now, it’s like the dark nights and the mild weather aren’t computing properly

Me too. Just feel like everything is crap. Been ill since before half term and just can't be arsed doing anything. Clocks changing haven't helped.

Yep, I do have SAD and take medication for it and general depression but this year I feel totally out of sorts. The world just seems like a horrible place to live in right now and I hate my job but I can’t start my new job in the civil service until my vetting is complete so it’ll be spring by the time it is and I’ve served my notice period 😭.

Yep I feel the same at the moment

Yes. Love Christmas lead up usually but have no energy to do anything. Work is v exciting, kids birthdays are coming up, but all I want to do is lie on the sofa and stare at any tv that doesn't require thought.

Yes feel flat and no enthusiasm for anything. Can't be bothered with friends. Nothing but doom and gloom everywhere. The pandemic and then the war and now the cost of living crisis and recession. It's too much.

Yes! But it’s mainly because of grief.
sadly my father passed away 3 weeks ago, and we have another two weeks until his funeral.
I am forcing myself to eat once a day!
I am dreading Christmas!

Sorry to read that @mawik .
