I can’t cope

Yeah. I wasn’t impressed with them at all @tyme. Dogs love em though. They’re a little bit spoilt or should I say ‘well loved!’

I went down hill at work. I’m deeply depressed. I don’t want to do anything. I just want to sleep. I hate the thought of having to get up and go to work tonight. I just don’t want to do anything. I feel sick that it’s so bad and so numb at the same time. It makes no sense.

I managed a hot shower but I needed it with the weather. Minus 1.6 feels like -5.4! It’s a little bit cold.

I hope you get this.

Hey @Captain24 , I've just read this. I wanted to come and hang for a bit, but I won't stay around for long. I haven't seen the kids today so when they come home, I'll go and say hello to them.

I'm sorry you are still feeling so low. I really don't know enough about SAD to suggest anything at all. For me, I feel blergh in winter because I exercise a lot less. Without daylight savings, I don't take Ruby out...

Please warm up. Might need an oodie! I'm so tempted to buy another one, but as I said, I've got soooo many already and can really only wear one at a time.

See you tomorrow night if you aren't working.

Thanks for reading @tyme. I just wanted someone to hear me.

I was at work last night, sorry and thanks for responding and I’ll be there again tonight.

I get the not exercising part! I don’t understand it either. Another thing to chat to my psych about. I’m not in a good way though. This sounds weird but I don’t even have the energy for SI or SH thoughts. I’ve just got nothing.

It wasn’t as cold this morning it was 0.7 feels like -0.3. There wasn’t as much of a frost. I need a hi-vis oodie! Do you wear them all or just the same one all the time?

I may pop in at around 5 if I don’t sleep in.

Hello lovely! @Captain24

How are things feeling for you today? 💛

Ahahaha @Captain24 ,

I only wear 2. When one is in the wash, I wear the other one. The rest are in the garage in the same package as they were delivered in... still not opened.

I've got a Little Miss Oodie, Winnie the pooh, grey one, black one, navy, breakfast oodie, koala...

But I only wear the black and navy one...

Hi @AuntGlow

Sorry I was at work last night. I leave at 5:30 and don’t have service in the car park and I’m not allowed to take my phone in.

Im tired and feeling really depressed. My shift went ok though.

It was a little cold when I was leaving though. I took this photo five minutes down the road from work.

Oh my goodness, that is bloody freezing!! @Captain24

What helps you to stay warm??

I am glad to hear you shift went okay, that's a definite win.

Would you like to talk about how you're feeling at all? Here if you need me. ☺️💛

I think I have a pretty big problem. I just want to stay in bed. I fed the Furbabies lunch and got back into bed.

I have nothing to give. No energy. No motivation just bed rotting. Can’t even sit on the lounge.

We posted at the same time again @AuntGlow

Nothing keeps me warm. I hate the cold. I just have my work clothes. The cars in the car park were really frosted over. But I’m a little bit clever. I put a towel over my windscreen so it didn’t freeze! They were all trying to defrost their cars and I just drove out!

I’m feeling really down and out.

I am starting to think we have an intuitive sense here - what's your star sign? 👀 @Captain24

No I completely feel you, I really don't like it either. And - it's really common to experience extra heaviness and challenges with motivation during Winter. I know this has been tough on you, but please know you are not alone. Maybe this is a good opportunity to surrender to what your body really needs? Many people think if Winter as the season for slowing down, coming back to yourself, and shedding old layers and patterns - what are your thoughts on this idea? 💛
