somehow nothing but negativity here

Hello @moodyahhhhh just wanted to say hi and say you've summed up how many of us feel. It's hard sometimes to keep pushing through.

How's today looking for you? Any plans?]

I've had my coffee and fed the cat... now for the rest of the day.

hi @Dimity aye hope ur cats well 🙂

not a coffee drinker but do have tea ready

Looks sunny here. Chat later I've got someone coming for a quote

Hi @moodyahhhhh

I can relate to a lot of what you have written. Things can be going well on the outside, but inside I still feel like I am breaking apart. Sometimes I wonder if this is just me and I'll never change.

I struggle to do 'good' things for myself. Sometimes I don't feel worthy and other times I have zero motivation to do anything. I often wonder if this is just my life now.

It can be extremely hard to have those times where we feel enjoyment and satisfaction.

You are not alone. There are many others that feel the way you do. With my psych I've been trying to find just one good thing about each day. Sometimes it can be getting out of bed or making myself a cuppa. It doesn't have to be big. There are times where even the smallest thing can be an achievement. It doesn't always go to plan. There are days where I feel like I don't achieve anything, like everything was a struggle. Maybe start small and see how you go.

It's hard. Not sure where to start but one step at a time.

@moodyahhhhh there are times where I can go a week or longer feeling like I haven't achieved anything. Like every day is just a fail.

It is something my psych and I have worked on. It is still a work in progress. We all seem to be much harder on ourselves than others are. I really think that sometimes we are our worst critic.

I have some words written down that my psych and I came up with on some cards that I read to myself. Things like

"It's ok to have days where I don't do anything"

"Be gentle with myself, I am doing the best I can"

"It's never too late to try something"

"Don't dwell on yesterday, today is a brand new day"

They don't always help but often they do.
