Feeling really low.

I have just completed a degree and I feel really low. During the past 6 months my relationship broke down and had difficulties with a colleague. I'm not where I thought I'd be at this point in my life and I'm not sure I want to pursue the career I've worked so hard for to pursue. I've spent a week just doing nothing, literally nothing. All my motivation is on the floor and I can't stop crying, the GP thinks I'm burnt out but I just feel so alone and like a failure. I don't know what to do.

It does sound a bit like burn out, OP. Could you take a break for a bit? I felt a bit similar to you after finishing university and I went on a lovely holiday to Thailand which helped a lot. Could you take some time off, or go on holiday? It might give you a chance to clear your mind xx

I would love to but I'm not in a position financially to go away.

Can you take some time off from work?
