I’ve suffered with anxiety on and off for the last ten years. I’ve spent a fortune on counselling/EMDR and it worked wonders for me. However the feelings I have now are completely different and nothing I’ve experienced before. I have feelings of self hate, low self worth, no enjoyment from anything, irritable, moody, unmotivated. I’ve had a weeks holiday from work and done nothing.. I feel terrible for the kids (14 and 11) ... my marriage broke down almost a year ago after my husband had an affair, I thought I was coping but I’m not. He’s taking them on holiday next week and I’m so pleased that they are getting a holiday but it’s plunged Me further into feelings of hopelessness and a longing for the carefree life I used to have. I’m already on citalopram but I’m trying to snap out of these feelings but they’re not going... any tips or advice for how I can self help to feel better would be hugely appreciated...

Sorry your husband had an affair.

While the kids are away, maybe you can do some “carefree life” things. Long walks/runs/exercise videos? Museums & libraries? Uninterrupted movie? Pizza for breakfast? Shopping (even just looking)? Paint the kitchen? Work in the garden?
