Struggling

I feel utterly trapped.
Feel guilty as so many bigger problems in the world right now .
I’ve got history of bad mental health and
I was managing ok with lockdown with exercise until I’ve managed to injure myself.
I’m struggling to cope now mentally.
If they ease restrictions soon then I’m screwed anyway as I can’t work with injury.
I’m messing my relationship up as I just feel utterly worthless now. So I’m pushing dp away. I seem to have one health issue after another and it’s embarrassing.
Whatever I do or attempt goes tits up.
I didn’t get up yesterday and still in bed now. There’s no point as I can’t do anything even if I get up.

Please phone and book a telephone consultation with your GP, are you on any medication at the moment? If so then maybe a dose increase would help.
Getting up, washed & dressed may feel pointless but it’s a small positive step in the day. A lot of people are struggling at the moment, get some support, talking to someone can help, but do please speak to a Dr. I hope things improve soon Flowers

As above said, it really makes a difference getting up and great for the day. Make sure to ring the Dr if things get unbearable.

I've recently read a great article on mental health with some great tips, hope this helps and that you feel better soon

The GP can’t help. There was barely any mental health care before lockdown . Drugs don’t work for me.

I was being positive getting up every day and exercising , housework cooking etc but now I’m in pain and injured I can’t do any of those things other than sit in front of tv. What’s the point

Literally I will have nothing left if we do make it out of Corona crisis. No relationship no home . Dc I gave nothing to offer them.
No friends.
I’m sure DP hates me and when I try to explain how frustrated i am he just storms off and Says I’m having a go at him and I’m really not , I’m not shouting I’m trying to explain to get him to understand.
I’m just trapped here stuck in my shit show of a brain.
