I have no energy

Hi @CharlieSW,

That sounds really tough; it can be really hard to have the energy or motivation to do things when we're feeling low. Sometimes the things that used to bring us joy aren't as effective, and that's ok. It might be a sign to try something new or slow things down. I hope you can take small steps in getting back your energy. Even reaching out here for support is a great start!

I hope you're able to speak to yourself kindly. I recall when I was dealing with depression, I spent all day in bed and felt guilty about getting nothing done. The guilt and shame made it harder to take steps forward, but once I gave myself space to be human, I did find it a bit easier to hold onto hope. You're not alone; we're here to listen.

What's a small 'next' step you can try? For me, it was booking an appointment with my psychologist.

Are there things that bring you comfort (i.e. comfort food, visiting your favourite place, listening to upbeat songs, etc) that you can fit into your day to help with your mood?

Thank you for the kind words.

i really struggle to forgive myself. I feel judged all the time, especially after experiencing that my whole life. I am surrounded my good people and they care about me. I just can’t let them in.

i do like music and nature. My dogs too. I am trying small things each day.
