To not want to work

I'm not lazy I'm just tired from my life. I don't do anything fun and have barely any friends. I work part time and also a carer to my disabled rd. Sometimes I don't want to get out of bed and sleep all day but sadly that's not a option as either working or caring for dd. I forgot the last time I had fun. Oh well I will have to get on with it and needed a rant more. I am single to but not ready for a relationship currently. Rant over.

I'm sorry you aren't feeling so great. Just a thought, but have you considered speaking to your GP, just in case there's anything else that's contributing to your feeling so low/tired (not suggesting your life is easy, but you never know) - things like depression or even something like thyroid or iron levels? Are there any ways you can do something just for you, even something small - a new hobby that you could do in the evening/when daughter asleep etc. Do you get any support with her? Is there anywhere you could get support if you don't already (maybe GP or local council could help?). Sorry if none of this is useful, I didn't want to read and run, and I hope you are able to find something to make you feel a bit more you soon.

Thankyou for your reply.i have been to see my doctor and in anxiety meds now. Social services really were no help as off there is. No money for respite so nothing there. She is a adult dd and has Aspergus so is quite high functioning really. I just want a bit of fun in my life and can't think of much currently. Would really. Love a hobby even tho I'm not very arty. Was thinking of support groups just to meet new people and they are run in my area so no excuse I can't go. Just depends on my shifts at work.
