I feel down and lost

I feel down and lost

Where do I start I feel like I have been in a slump for about 10 months now. I feel down a lot of the time this has happened before but it has never lasted this long. Things that don't normally worry me have me agonising over I worry about and question everything. I feel lost I don't know who to turn to or what to do. I keep thinking this is just a phase and it will pass but I just can't see it ending. I guess that I just feel like my life is in turmoil and I don't know what to do.

Re: I feel down and lost

How are you going @Ant7? I haven't touched base with you for a while. Did you ever follow up with a 2nd psychologist appointment?

I hope you are having a good day.

Re: I feel down and lost

@Sahara hi how are you going? I hope you are well. I haven't followed up as yet. I am going to try a different phyc and see if I can get a better fit time wise. I have been up and down but mainly up so that's a good thing . I find it funny little things seem to get me down when they never use to bother me. Anyway thanks for thinking of me 😊

Re: I feel down and lost

@Ant7, I'm glad you ahve been mainly 'up'. I know what you mean by little things getting you down... this always happens to me, too. I don't know why- but I can start the day off very well and then my mood can change over something small.

But, yep, I have been mainly up too.

Hope you find that psychologist!
