Something’s not right

physically unable to move due to unhappiness

physically unable to move due to unhappiness

hello , just seeking some help. Have been seeking a relationship for years and even though had a few friendships and short term romps with women , I have not had a long term , effectionate or sexual relationship . I am now 58 and after a 11 year friendship with what I thought was the one but was going nowhere have decided to move on . Even if she wants her friendship , and has told me that is all she wants from me , changes , I would now not want to be with her . I have gotten back on the social scene but being of an ethic background , am seeking similar and even though little to choose from , are there. To add to the difficulty is that I live in a country town and the constant travelling is tiring me out. I have recently sought counselling advice again (twice now ) but even the counsellor said there is not much he can do for me after the last session and even though I realise there is no silver bullet , medication etc , even the long drive to see the counsellor is tiring . Previously , where I have had the same feelings , I got over them eventually but now when I wake up , I find it very difficult to motivate myself to even get out of bed and even worse I feel I can not physically move because of my emotions. It is only after with great effort and some hour or 2 , that I can get up and get going to do basic chores like bathing , cooking , gardening etc. Any advice would be gratefully welcome.

Re: physically unable to move due to unhappiness

just an update .. very disappointed that in a time of need , I got no suggestions or responses , however still find this site a great help and even reading through some of the other difficulties faced by others in other forums and replies and suggestions was able to get through a dark period .

Last couple of days was going through some dating sites and came across someone I knew from a common social group we both go to. We do know each other and when I contacted , found out we had a mutual liking for each other . Now waiting to meet up on a personal basis rather than a group one and go from there . Thanks .

Hello @feelingdown1

I have just read your thread. Sorry that nobody responded to you.

The sense of weight holding the self down from doing basic jobs is very familiar to me. It is difficult to continually keep motivating to move and keep going.

I hope your new contact will work out for you.
