Re: Good Morning!
I just had a nap @Faith-and-Hope@NatalieS. Try as I might, I just can’t seem to sleep in. If I do have a nap, I set the alarm for an hour so as not to disturb my night sleep patterns.
I just woke up feeling a bit dizzy and dazed. Might have been the big brunch I had this morning and my body protesting.
Will go for a long walk later when the temperature eases.

Re: Good Morning!
@soul it usually ends up with me thinking about the past or future. Because I'm suffering in the present and want away out of it. So I think about what I can do for myself. Eude.

Re: Good Morning!
@eudemonism, When we are in a problem situation, it becomes difficult to think clearly and we assume there is nothing we can do. You could try writing down (writing can be really helpful) - what things are troubling you i.e, how things are at the moment and - then write how would you like them to be say in 1-3 months. Don't worry about how that will happen for a bit.
For each of the points above, write small actions you could take for this week or even just today. You could use this list to track daily and set a small target for yourself.
I am not aware of what problems are troubling you, however, it's important to ask ourselves what exactly would we like to happen and then work towards it.
Just trying to run away usually may not help as you don't have a target where you want to reach.
Hope that helps.

Re: Good Morning!
@Friendconnect I'll try and give it ago. But I think the problems are not just psychological. I've lost all my zest for life. There's nothing enjoyable to do. There's nothing fun and exciting to do. I'm going to my third counselling session this Friday. And they are saying I'm severely depressed and should consider anti depressants. And talking about cardio as a remedy. Which I think is a joke. Because. The meds they already have me on. Make me depressed and make cardio really difficult. Eude.
There's no point or meaning to live anymore. I prey I'll die at night so I don't have to deal with life. It's a merry go round hey. And I'm over it.

Re: Good Morning!
You've described your thoughts well and I can understand that life can get bit rough at times. However, concluding that there's nothing worthwhile should never be the case.
"Dealing" with life does sound like you are defining life with just a set of activities that you perhaps do not like. And there's nothing wrong in not doing what you don't like.
How about giving a break to the things/routine being followed as of now and include something completely new in life. Life is so short and there are uncountable things to do. It could be a new (or old forgotten) hobby, sport that you enjoy, morning walk or perhaps yoga.
Idea is to change the way we define life. Half of the trouble is that we think we should be living a certain way(learning from parents/school/society) and when we don't see ourselves enjoying those things we assume there's nothing left in life. Life is a constant exploration, what you enjoyed yesterday you may not enjoy today. If we keep trying new things we would never get bored and we might find a set of things we are passionate about - that may last as lifelong hobbies/professions.
Ask yourself what's new in life today and then go about your day. Small steps can take us long way.
