Feeling really low today

[devonscone]

I've been going to counselling for nearly a year. Have been feeling especially low for a month or two. Saw my counsellor today and couldn't engage as well as I usually can. This evening I'm just crying - trying to watch a lighthearted film to distract myself but I'm crying and then trying to hide it when someone comes into the room. I feel alone and I really want a hug (can't ask anyone I live with for one). I don't know why I'm so upset today. It just hurts.

Sorry to hear that and I hope after a good sleep tonight you feel a little lighter tomorrow. Is there something tomorrow that you can plan to do that is good for your well-being?

A walk in nature, maybe a local country park where you can sit on a bench with a sandwich and a drink.

Hi Devonscone,

How are you feeling today?

Hope today was a better day for you @devonscone

Hope you've had a better day.

Aww thanks for asking about today

Still not feeling great but less tearful and miserable than yesterday. I think I just have really deep pain because of certain things and you don't always realise how much it affects you, but it does.

Today I went back to bed after walking the dog first thing and had a couple of extra hours of sleep. Then I went to work and although the first half of my shift was hard because I felt like I wanted to cry, the second half was a bit better and I'm glad I had the distraction.

Going to go to bed now and hopefully will be able to get through tomorrow too. I count the days until I can go to my next counselling appointment, is that bad? It's just the only place I can be fully open about how I feel and where I feel like someone understands.
