As the title says, I feel incredibly overwhelmed at the moment and I don’t really know where to start to get myself out of this negative mindset. I am hoping some kind strangers on here can help me figure out where to start, especially if you’ve been at a low point in your life like I am currently.
Some of the main issues:
I am obese, have been for years, hate the way I look, hate my clothes. I am currently on mounjaro but I feel like it’s not working and I am still eating junk. I don’t do any exercise and that’s partly because I have an ankle injury which has been ongoing for years which also really gets me down.
I hate my job. It’s lonely, isolating, boring. But the thought of applying for new ones and going to interviews fills me with dread.
I am single and I’ve never had a long term, serious relationship in my whole life. I went on 2 dates recently to try and make me feel better about myself. I thought they went well but one ghosted me and the other one said he wasn’t interested in anything romantic. I have got it into my head that I am not funny, or witty, or natural, as I get so nervous and worked up I can’t concentrate. I fear I am never going to meet anyone. I just want some attention from a man for self validation and to make me feel good, but I know that’s just going to set me up for failure and even more sadness.
My skin is bad, my hair is thin and in a bad state.
I lack self confidence from within and just get negative ruminating thoughts in my head telling me I can’t do things because I’ll make a fool of myself. I massively overthink and overanalyse everything.
I am already on anti depressants and have been for 4 years. I am not ready for counselling yet. I just need to tackle some of the above but I don’t know where to start 😢
