I think it's a combination of crap, but I am mentally drained. I've pushed against depression and that taking over but it's hitting me hard tonight. All I can think about is turning off....whatever numbs it....because I feel so done. It's like a 10 lane highway in my head - so much rushing and racing and like I can't quite think straight. My body physically hurts too....it's all too much....

Sorry you feel this way @Loz_3647 - I'm just curious to know whether connecting with others on the forums here will make a difference, and perhaps help you feel less alone in this?

Hey , whether you feel like doing it or not it's inevitable that you do continue going on so I think you should perhaps first pay attention to your mind and what it's doing then you can try to come up with a way to help it feel better and who knows you might do something that works straight away and helps you feel better but then again it might not work so you have to try something else - it could be something that draws your attention and focus away from your thoughts like doing something that uses your body and senses or it could be the opposite and what you need is to dive in deeper to how your thinking and feeling and just sit with it before it starts to back off , I dunno what will work for you but something will - please don't let it all get to you too much mate , all the best from Rhys

@Loz_3647Hi, we haven't met online, but after reading the thread please know I am thinking of you. It's so hard and lonely when we are in such an exhausting dark place and it seems relentless. I hope things have improved even if it is ever so slightly. xo
