I literally feel annoyed by my own body :/

I feel annoyed and get reallly irritable about everything I’ve noticed the last few months. I have anxiety disorder and depression and had bouts of irritability ( normally while I’m on my monthly’s) but lately it’s every single day, I’m annoyed when getting dressed in the morning as I hate the feel and look of my body and I just look disgusting in everything, it’s been muggy lately so I’m annoyed at being sweaty and feeling hot. I get annoyed about my lips feeling dry despite drink fuck loads of water everyday. I’m fatigued all the time and I feel like I’m heavy so can’t be bothered to do anything and when I do it feels like a massive effort. When I do things I seem to be clumsy and end up hmhurting myself or spilling something. I sound a lot of joy don’t I 😂. That’s just examples, today I got annoyed because I put my hair up and it seems to pull at my hair line (long hair) and my bun falls out so I got agitated and ripped the bobble out I felt fuming! Is this just depression/anxiety manifesting in my day to day life or an I actually going mental? I feel like I can’t cope with anything.

I've definitely felt like this, don't worry, I don't think you're going mental!! I had a patch like this two summers ago and my DH suggested swimming. It felt like a massive effort and I really wasn't up for it, but once I got started I began feeling way better. I also had a haircut (not drastic lengthwise, but a bit of a change of style) and suddenly I felt so much fresher and better about my appearance. Not saying those exact same things would necessarily do the trick for you... but sometimes just quite a small or superficial thing can have a big positive impact.

Good luck!
