Feeling low

[planttable]

I'm feeling pretty low, and have been for a couple of weeks. I'm not in any danger but I just feel very down. I'm on 100mg sertraline (recently increased from 50mg due to my low mood). I'm managing to go to work but I barely talk to anyone, at work or at home. I don't feel like talking.

When I get home I just sit on the sofa and watch Netflix until I can go to bed. I'm sleeping a lot at the weekend because I'm so tired and have nothing better to do. I feel like I'm trapped in a particular situation and I can't see a way out. And I can't see how my mood is ever going to get better. I can't seem to enjoy anything at the minute. Just looking for some hope really

Not sure why the previous poster thinks it’s helpful to preach religion at you.

I’m sorry you’re struggling right now. It sounds like all your energy is going on work. Are you able to take a bit of time off? Or would that not help?

When I feel like this I try to do one tiny thing like get out for a really quick walk. Sometimes that helps a bit. Or I do comforting things like having a hot chocolate.

I worked with a counsellor when I felt really depressed. They asked me what I usually enjoyed doing and we agreed on me doing (in my case) a jigsaw puzzle for 20 mins a day, even if I didn't enjoy it and to keep going. I made myself a slot every day and did it. It worked in the end to give me some small pleasure and so helped.
Could you do something like that?
