Something’s not right

Desperate today!!!!

Desperate today!!!!

I don't know what the hell is wrong with me. Yesterday I woke up feeling great. Today I am rock bottom. I feel psycho, that much that I thought of being self destructive by getting drunk. I don't drink ever and if I did this I would be in a worse place than I am now. I really feel psycho!! I have literally sat in the sun for the last two hours painting my fingernails and toenails. And smoking!!! I feel like my kids don't give two shits about me. They r boys, 24 and 27. I thought I had a good relationship with the daughter In laws but they can't even message me to say I can face time to see my grand daughters. None of these 4 ring me or message me. I messaged and tried to ring them last week to face time. I just don't understand, they all know I suffer depression. I am so friggen lonely but in saying that, I don't want to see anyone or I will just cry. I feel so low and my husband will be home soon and I hate feeling like this for him to see me like this.n I really can't stand my life atm.

Wash ya face, do ya hair, have a big drink of water and smile. Throw some frozen stuff on the stove and hug your man when he walks in the door. Write today off, try again tomorrow. Hang in there..

Re: Desperate today!!!!

Great advice from @Cazchri - give yourself permissiom to have an off day. It's ok and perfectly common to have off days where we feel terrible. Sitting in the sun painting in your nails sounds like good self-care.

The issues that you mentioned about feeling lonely and disconnected from your family - how long have you felt this way? Would it be worth having a conversation with your boys about it? At that age (early to mid 20s), its easy for people to get consumed by their own life. I'm also wondering if you have other people in you life that you can connect with?

Tomorrow is a new day - so just focus on getting through this one.
