To feel like crap for no reason?

[Farontothemaddingcrowd]

I just feel...meh. Christmas feels like expense and forced jollity. Life feels like a slog and drudgery.

I'm tired, so tired. I feel scruffy and unkempt. I used to take pride in my appearance.
I feel frumpy and want to lose a bit of weight, but never get anywhere. Today I ate a lot of chocolate cake and sandwiches and made myself sick. I have been bulimic in the past but was free of it for a while.

I feel dissatisfied and like I don't want to do anything.

Think Christmas doesn't help

Just bumping this. I'm not really sure why I'm feeling like this or if I should be worried.

I know what you mean. I get like this every year, but snap out of it eventually. Have you tried taking Vitamin D tablets? I wrote a similar post to you not long ago and that's what I was recommended. Ive only just started them so hopefully they will kick in soon.

Have you thought about the fact you might need to see your GP and discuss the fact you may be depressed?

Well, this could be depression, or Seasonal Affective Disorder ( S.A.D), but even if its not you have relapsed which means your mental health is in danger. I would go and speak to a GP even if its just to have someone to talk to about it.

Please go, and I hope you feel happier soon

I'm taking anti depressants at the moment. They help I think, but I can be very up and down. I took an iron tablet today because I know I need to. I probably need a good multi vitamin.

Give yourself the day off today.
Have you got anything to look forward to?

I don't feel excited much, but I am looking forward to a weekend to myself doing nothing. My ex has the dc this coming weekend.

Far, would it make you feel better to do a nice thing for yourself? A hair appointment at a good salon, manicure, facial etc? That cheers me up and may help you feel better about yourself. Get some healthy treats in too. Make an apt with your go also, you shouldn't be feeling like this. X

It probably would. I'm worrying about money at the moment as dd1 has started high school and seems to want everything in the world. I definitely need to think about seeing the gp.

Most salons have a website and a price list. Might be worth a google. Christmas offers at this time of year too. Or a bit of a pamper session at home with yr dd.

I was going to suggest Vit d too. I use lidl cod liver oil capsules to get mine. I feel much better with it.
