I’m pretty depressed and anxious just now. Have suffered with depression on and off for a while now but haven’t had a spell like this for years. I’ve got major money worries at the moment, had a pretty traumatic family bereavement the other week, some unresolved health worries and a messy/weird/confusing break up from my long term boyfriend. I took a week off work but I’m not sure it’s actually helped me feel any better, other than walking my dog and going to the shop if I absolutely have to I’ve basically spent most of it in my bed glued to my phone steadily getting worse and worse. The house is a mess, I’m a mess and I feel ridiculously guilty because I grew up with a mum who had ongoing mental health issues and I feel like history is repeating itself. She would spend all day in bed, the house was always a mess etc. I just end up feeling worse and the knot of anxiety in my stomach just gets tighter and tighter. So I’ve dragged myself up (we did go for a dog walk for 1.5 hours this morning) and I’m going to make a start on the house.
Is anyone else feeling down/depressed at the moment? Thought a kind of support thread would maybe be helpful, I couldn’t find one already.
