I'm having a bad mental health day, having to sort through some stuff I don't want to. Just posting here to feel less alone.

Sorry you're having a rough day. Can you plan something to look forward to for tomorrow or Monday to shift your focus?

Hi @TheOliveDreamer, sorry to hear that you aren’t having a great day today . Just be kind to yourself and do something that provides comfort to you . Going out for a walk , watching something easy on netflix etc .

Do you have anyone you can talk to in real life - even if you don’t want to tell them how you are feeling ?

Is this something that you experience from time to time and or / do you think something has triggered you this time ?
Take care of yourself x

Ditto @TheOliveDreamer I’ve decided to stay in bed today, home is a mess and can’t deal with it today, as well as lots of other stuff. Sending healing thoughts to you.

Why do people always say go for a walk? 😡 don’t you get that? Some of us can’t even get out of bed at times, let alone out the door.

Sorry to hear you are not feeling good today. Is there something pleasurable you can do instead?

You do realise when you feel like that nothing is pleasurable!

I can't think about tomorrow but I've just run a bath and might find something to watch. I managed to sit and go through all my finances which is what I was dreading. Home also a mess, I might try reset it before bed so it's nicer to wake up to.

i always find listening to music really helps me. It obs has to be the ‘right’ type as some is just so bloody depressing. And some the complete opposite which is just too much sometimes.

i have quite wide taste, but most northern soul usually does the trick.
