Feeling so Down

I had a lot going on in my personal life last year. As a result I've been left with little faith in a lot of people. Work was like an escape and I thought I was quite good at my job.

There are now problems with someone who is sabotaging me at work. I know how to deal with this but I am just so sick of having to get on with things and fight on with everything

I'm trying to give myself things to look forward to but I don't have much money to last until the end of the month.

I feel like I could just stay in bed all day but obviously can't and here I go again fighting through another day

Do you have anyone you can talk to about this? Sometimes, all we can do is get up and keep fighting. That in itself is an accomplishment.

Thanks for your reply. I don't have anyone to talk to at the moment. I think what you said is very true and I need to remember that I am getting up and making an effort and getting on with things

Just like @IcyHot said, you should be proud of yourself for getting up and putting the fight in everyday.
Things sound tough right now, but it will get better. It does help to talk but I know the feeling of not having anyone to talk to, I find walking helps me escape my head for a bit.

Walking is a great help to me @tulipsinthegardens @Lostworlds Do you think it would help to talk to someone?

I try to get out for walks. I have a couple of friends I can speak to but don't want to bring them down. If I ring a counsellor I know what they will say - take care of myself, give myself things to look forward to etc. It's good advice but easier said than done really

I have subways said, I can cope when there are problems or excess stressors at home, I can cope with problems or excess stressors at work. But when both happen it's awful.
I disagree wrt therapist help, they can look at Etsy is going on and give perspective, advise on cognitive errors etc you may be going and just be a huge support. It's not just about drug care though that runs through everything.

Self care not drug care.

I'm glad it was a bit better for you. I hope tomorrow can be the same or better too.
