Something’s not right

Hmm

Hmm

I’m tired and I just feel so defeated tobight I know it won’t last and it’s ok to have a bad day but I am just overall so tired, right down the bone, I’ve mentally checked out for the year already, and I’m so done with it all just ready for what 2023 will bring but I am just having a not so great day

There was good things about today but i just feel all done with it and tired and fed up and that maybe I’m not good at anything much and it’s all too hard sometimes

Re: Hmm

I appreciate you telling me more about what's going on. @ArraDreaming there are a lot of pressures on you ❤️

Not sure if it's similar for you, but I get frustrated at myself when I can see what I could be thinking or doing or feeling, but I just can't get there. It's like, I'm too self-aware for my own good haha.

Also, I recently found this thread on parenting with MH things going on. Completely ok if you don't vibe with it, but thought I'd share just in case The Virtual Village - a space for parenting 'stuff'

Re: Hmm

I don’t know why I do I I don;t know why I try so hard to convince myself and everyone else that my mental health is still ok, that I havent gone back to really bad again, I am actually doing ok this is just a bad week or something idk. I dont know why I try so hard to convince people that I think I just feel the need to prove to them that I have made progress after all this time even though I KNOW I HAVE. god wtf is wrong with me?? @Former-Member

Re: Hmm

@ArraDreaming It's such a strength that you've recognised how far you've come and what you've achieved. And I know so many of us see it here too.

But maaann...that pressure of proving it to others is real. I see you, I hear you.

What do you need today?

I feel like curling up in bed with a movie!

I don’t know why I do it, but maybe it’s something I don’t actually need to know why, maybe I can just try and accept that I do it, doesn’t make it good but yeah maybe I need to just let go of trying to find out why

Yeah home today not doing much need to go out and about to do some jobs just not sure how much of a mood I’m in to go out, got one home with me

Re: Hmm

@ArraDreaming that sounds SO powerful - letting go of the why ❤️

It's something I'm trying to figure out myself, maybe we can keep each other updated on it.

ohh, is there something fun/nice you can do with your little one who's home?

My "little one" is just one of my cats hahaha

Re: Hmm

HammerBarn hahaha!!!!! I'm going to start calling it that from now on.

@ArraDreaming I find if I don't get out of the house, I feel so...blergh? Just not really present or something. I realised last week that I hadn't left the house in 3 days 😲 My partner made us a cup of tea and we just sat in the part around the corner
