Download smiling minds I really like that a most of the time I even fall asleep when I do it at bed time.
I’m not sure how to explain meditation but you just have to give it a go I guess having a guide like through the app helps.
Thank you @Shaz51

How? I don't want to go to work, I don't want to be in my house, I don't want to get out of bed. I have no purpose for life

Even if you start slow and just try your hardest to get out of bed. I know when I’m feeling really low I try and even though I don’t want to I feel a little bit better knowing I at least tried to because if I had not have I would have felt worse and put myself down for not doing anything. Sorry if that doesn’t make sense. @Struggling101

Hey @Birdofparadise8
Congrats on your exam! Even if you don’t feel it, that is a massive feat. The pressures of uni are really big, and you should be proud of yourself.
On another note……. I hope you can at least enjoy some of your grandmas cooking tonight 😳.
And yes, @Shaz51, @Birdofparadise8 suggested the smiling minds last week to me, and I downloaded it and have been using it all week. It’s actually one of the better apps I have used for meditation. I also find that lighting some incense helps me to get into it. Someone had told me once that if you do something sensory at the beginning of every meditation, your body can be trained to react in a calm way when that sense is present, even without the meditation. I do find out about in sense now, as soon as I smell it, I begin to feel calm.
what is on your dinner table tonight @Shaz51 ?
