I'm brand new here. I'm having a bad day but for no reason. I have a new job I like, good money, 100% supportive husband and yet every day is a struggle and I'm so tired of it. I just don't want to have to struggle every day. It's always the same 'nothing's'.

My health isn't great but I have a gp and specialists working with me so it's all about as under control as it can be.
I find it very difficult to muster the strength, determination and motivation to be OK.

hi @Dazed
im your having a bad day. sometimes there doesnt really need to be a reason it just happens. Do you think you would be able to speak to your gp about how youve been feeling? They can perform a mental health test and refer you to appropriate resources and check in on your physical health to see if theres any underlying conditions such as a thyroid issue (this is an example of course) it too.

Hi @Dazed 👋🏻
I don’t have many words of wisdom but I get how it feels to feel like there is no end point and nothing feels right or good. Some days are sooooo long to get through when it’s a hard day. Just surviving feels like a mammoth effort.
Hoping you find some support and others that get the way the way you are feeling from the forum. Welcome 😊💜

@Dazed I constantly feel like that, guilty that I could feel so down when I have everything I need. Keep working with GP's and Counsellors to get through it. Your feelings will be validated. I just find it hard to beleive when Im like this that other "normal" people dont feel like that!!
