To be feeling deflated with life?

[TheWhisker]

I've seriously lost my zest for life. I get up and go to work, get home and have something to eat and then sleep and it's the same until weekend and then I just cannot be arsed with anything. It's a real effort to get dressed and get out of the house at weekend. I sit and feel shit about how my life has turned out, my lack of friends and I have sky-high anxiety about my job (which I actually like, it's just high pressured). Then the week starts again. I eat absolute shit too. I feel on high alert with everyone and want to argue with everyone and even feel like punching some people. In fact, I have quite often felt myself fantasizing about punching some annoying dick on the bus (chewing loudly, facetiming or playing media without headphones in) and I know that it's not normal to feel like that.

How on earth can I sort myself out?

Go to the Doctor, get your bloods checked. Start taking a multi vit. Force yourself to do some exercise. You are responsible for your health. Buy healthy foods, salad. Drink water.

Hope you feel better soon. Make a list of what you can do to uplift your life.

Thanks for your message @IwasToldThereWouldBeCake Do you think multi vitamins could really make a difference? Funny that you should mention water as I am a tea fiend and barely drink water on it's own.

Are you me? No advice but I'm the same, life can be so dull.

If you’re so tired that you’re going to bed straight after dinner every night then it might be a medical thing so get along to the doctor and get it checked out. If it turns out to be mental health rather than physical, then some good steps to take would be: get as much exercise and fresh air as you can (walking or running while listening to podcasts is good), take regular showers and drink lots of water, eat stuff like roast chicken, fruit&veg and pasta (boosts energy in a good way), and tidy your room/house (helps create a good state of mind). Then take an active decision to get out and meet people, whether that’s through a hobby/interest, online dating, or getting in touch with existing friends. I suffered from low-level MH problems quite a bit when I was younger, and I found the key was to see myself as an active participant in life who was going to do something to improve my situation, rather than being passive and just have things happen to me. You got this 👊

I feel like I’ve lost my way a little at the minute.

I started a new job in a much less chaotic environment, but I’m missing the busyness of my old job. I feel like I’m going through the motions of like and not really gaining any enjoyment from it.

I’ve made some life style changes, taken up running, try to see a friend once a week getting outdoors more often- but I’m yet to see much improvement in how I feel.

I feel very similar at the moment too. So bored and restless. And anxious. A change of scene or short holiday can be good I think, if you can afford it?
