Feeling so flat…

I just don’t know what to do with myself!

I’ve got PND and have been signed off work and I just don’t know what to do with my time. My children are at school and nursery and I just feel lost. Obviously the depression is making me feel flat and hopeless and I’m still waiting for the anti depressants to kick in but I’m just sitting indoors with no motivation to do anything! I did a bit of ironing but that’s it!

im in a catch 22 because I know I need to keep doing things as festering at home won’t help the depression but the idea of going out and doing anything just feels me with dread, I can’t work up any enthusiasm for anything, can’t even be bothered to put the tv on! Hate feeling like this!

can anyone relate? 🙈x

I've had a few periods in my life like this. I've literally had to force myself to go and see friends, or go for a walk to the shops or something. Always felt horrible at first but eventually got easier.

The weather doesn't help, things never feel quite so bad in the sunnier warmer months. Sending hugs x

Thank you @Tiny2018 I do try and get out for a walk but like you say that’s easier when the suns shining! Just wish I could feel some joy again!! 🙏
