Anyone else feeling a bit down for no real reason?

[Notcontent]

I should be ok. I am healthy, my family is healthy so far, I have food and a tiny garden in which I can enjoy a bit of sun. I also have my young teen dd to keep me company. But just feeling really down. I think it’s because normally I am so busy that I don’t have too much time to dwell on things but now that I am just at home I am spending too much time thinking about my life. I don’t have a partner or close friends so just feeling a bit miserable right how, like my life doesn’t really amount to much.

I don’t think it’s for ‘no reason’... we’re in the middle of a global pandemic, that’s a reason in itself!
I’m feeling ok generally, we have food and a big garden and the children are happy, but I really really miss my mum and dad and that gets me down.

What ‘Hoffi’ said. You have a very good reason to feel down!

It’s totally understandable, don’t be so hard on yourself.

It’s just an awful time at the moment, most people I know are struggling to adapt too.

Yep - had a massive panic attack last night at bed time for no reason I’m fine, my family are fine, it’s all just getting on top of me

This is normal. Sometimes it catches us off guard too.

Be kind to yourself

You’ve definitely got a reason to be a bit down. It’d be odd if you weren’t in the circumstances.

I’ve been feeling quite low the last few weeks. I miss my family and my colleagues and even the gym. I do feel bad moaning though because I’m healthy and so are my family and I’m able to work from home.

Trying to find pleasure in the smaller things in life like dinner and a glass of wine on the patio, reading books, a nice bath etc

Hope you are ok OP. It’s a really weird time. It’s ok to feel a bit out of sorts.

Yes, you are probably right.

I guess it’s been a mix of emotions. And I am missing my parents too. They are far away and I am not sure when I will see them next.

Thank you for being so kind.
