What's the point

[BlankSpace1]

There just is no point really is there

Well, the fact that you are posting in MH suggests that you are unwell.

Obviously, things seem despairing at times.

Ate you depressed?

Hi Blankspace. for you. Do you feel like talking a bit more? I am having a tough time at the moment and have had some good advice and compassion.

Sorry finished my post too soon! Have had good advice and compassion from the posters on here.

I feel pathetic even being on here, This is my second thread in this mental health today!
Everything is hard right now, I don't want to do anything, I don't feel anything bit pain. I wish it would all go away!
Sorry you're struggling too, I really hope things get better for the both of us

What are you struggling with?

Do you have family around? Depression can be terribly isolating, bit I would imagine you mean the world to at least one other person.

Just everything, I don't want to do anything and just want to be on my own. My house is a mess, my washing is out of control, and I just don't care. I have the energy for nothing but feeling empty and in pain

Blank I feel for you. I'm in the same situation and feel I'm just in limbo waiting for it to pass. But pass it will. Be kind to yourself, do anything you enjoy, like watching fave movies, listening to music, reading, maybe a walk?

The housework will wait and it won't be the end of the world. However, if you're like me, the chaos makes me feel worse and I always feel a bit better if I can at least make it look as if I've made an effort .. so minimum effort for maximum effect. Don't worry about cleaning, just tidy away the worst, maybe say to yourself, I'll just do ten mins then sit down with a cup of tea.

Keep posting, we're always here for you. Feel free to pm me if you'd like to chat, I'm usually around.

Life throws some shit at us at times and I am so sorry you are feeling like this . I can empathise with you, if I didn't have a little one I would stay in bed and never leave it. I hope you start feeling better soon, it's overwhelming and I never imagined how hard stress, anxiety and depression hit you. Hang on in there.

I managed to do one wash, and dry half of it so I had bibs and babygrows.. That's as far as I've got!
I might try the 10 min idea though!

It's so hard to find the motivation to do things I enjoy, but I have been reading a lot cus it takes minimal effort and distracts my mind completely which I like.
If it wasn't for my little ones I wouldn't leave my room either, I just feel so bad but also like there's no time for me to be unwell x

That's great! You can be pleased you've done some washing. The rest can wait.

It's good that you can read. Think of it as looking after yourself because you're very important, you're needed to look after your little one, so it's vital that you look after yourself and our mental health is just as important as our physical health.

When I felt like this when my children were still little I used to put them in the pushchair and go for a walk anywhere green. Killing two birds with one stone - fresh air for both of you and exercise for yourself! Even if it's only 15 minutes.

I agree, my children are my world and no matter how bad I'm feeling ill always care for them, it just makes it harder to find the time to heal is all.

I had to go out today to collect my phone from repair store so I did have a little wonder around the shopping centre and grab a burger which was refreshing, it was nice to have a change of scenery. Soon as I got home it was like walking back into the struggles which is ironic given that all I want to do is stay in the house.
I hope we both come out the other side sooner rather than later

Hi Blank, just wanted to say that I know how you feel, I have been there too. You have described exactly how I was 6 months ago. And at times before that as well. Are you on any medication? Sertraline really helped/helps me,and getting out of the house. I'm like you in that I find it really hard to deal with the housework- but then the place looks and feels like a tip and I get really down on myself.

Hi castle, I am on medication But it doesn't help, and I agree about the house, it does make you feel more crappy! But it's like I see it and just don't care. I don't even have any idea about what to go out the house and do, children are 2 and 10 months so they're still a bit young for a lot of things, it's hard x

I'm always recommending Eckhart Tolle, he has videos on Youtube about overcoming depression and many other subjects. He spent years in depression himself. He's helped millions of people.
I hope you get a break soon OP. Best wishes.

Anything is worth a look, thank you
