I feel so low and awful

[Springisnear4]

I've only got out of bed today to go to the toilet. I've called in sick to work. I feel absolutely horrendous. I don't know where to start with making myself feel less bad. I want to just go back to sleep but there's some kind of drilling started outside.

I’m the same, what’s up? X

Feel a bit unwell, feel really sad and hopeless. I feel like nothing has any point.

Let yourselves have a few days to rest and recover - you’re ill. After those few days, get structure back so you don’t spiral. After two to three days of doing nothing, ensure you are going outside for a gentle walk and have one thing to achieve each day… just one, don’t push it.

What’s going on in your life at the moment op?

I spend all my time alone so no one really notices if I have days like this

You sound like you might be depressed, maybe speaking to your GP would be an idea? I find fresh air, structure and keeping busy helps me but if you are past the stage where that works then anti-depressants might be the way forward. Long term a hobby or group for company but you need to get out of this hole first x

@TooMinty yeah, I'm waiting for my registration to be approved at a new gp but I've tried all the treatment available for depression

Ah good, hope you can get an appointment soon. It's still worth going I think, even if you feel like you have tried everything. Maybe your low mood is caused by another health issue, get yourself checked out x
