Any advice

[Jan202]

I went through a horrendous divorce which finally ended last year. Since then I feel like I’ve completely lost myself. I used to love going to the gym and now how no motivation what’s so ever. When the children go to their dads every other weekend I should be being productive but I find it hard to get out of bed and don’t feel like I want to do anything at all, I don’t bother with myself and don’t even bother brushing my hair or even put any make up on. I didn’t used to drink and now I’m having a drink 4 out of 6 nights a week. I feel exhausted all the time

I’m on 20 m grams of citalopram for anxiety but have been on this medication a long time

should I go to gp?

how on earth do I get myself out of this

Use your imagination. Even while you're lying in bed, take your mind to a place where you want to be - in the gym, working out, seeing yourself in the mirror, feeling the shower on your skin.

Imagine what you can hear, smell, taste, touch, see and feel. Put as much information and reality into the scene - you have it all in your memory. Keep going back to that place in your mind until you need to actually experience it; your mind will spur your body to want to do it rather than just think about it.
