Feel so flat...

I don't know what I'm hoping to gain from this post but I feel like I need to talk about it and maybe that will be the key to getting past this...

This is the first time in my life where I've felt like I just can't shake this feeling of flatness... I just don't know what to do to get out of this funk to be honest...

I just haven't got enthusiasm for much of anything... I'm not an overtly emotional person generally but I'm usually upbeat and a silver lining kind of girl but I'm just not feeling it right now.

we lost our beautiful dog last month and I've struggled quite a lot. We decided to adopt a dog from a local rescue and he's absolutely wonderful but if I'm not thinking of, or looking after, him, I just have an odd empty feeling...

I'm overthinking a lot and I'm probably too hard on myself most of the time... I'm the person who picks everyone else up and I feel like I'm failing myself by not being able to help myself at the minute.

I feel like I'm putting on a show in front of my colleagues in work and I'm absolutely fine but I just haven't got the energy at home and DH is constantly asking if I'm ok but I don't want him worrying about me and how I am so he knows I'm not right but I've not told him how I'm really doing...

Well tbh I think this is just life. Mostly boring and a bit crap, occasionally good if you are lucky.

Give yourself time. You’ve just suffered a huge loss. It’s going to take time to adjust to this huge change. Please be kind to yourself. It might seem insignificant but try to eat healthy (lots of brain food berries, greens, nuts, seeds, fish, olive oil, avocados), drink plenty of water and get as much sleep as possible. Set yourself a little daily goal and do it no matter what, whatever you find therapeutic
