Sunday Blues

@swampfairy Hey Swamp thanks for posting. Im sorry that you seem to be having a tough time and have done for a while now. It can feel very draining when your trying to cope with so much such as doing battle with an eating disorder, anxiety, self harm etc. It sounds like you have been coping with these issues for some time now and I wonder what kind of support you have around you? You said that the last two years has left your feeling quite drained. Was there something in particular that made the last two years worse for you? You mentioned to how there have been good times, and I dont know about you, but I know when things feel pretty tough it can be hard to hold onto those good times. Is there a way you could remind yourself of those times when perhaps things are not going so well for you?

You mentioned dreading work. What do you do for employment and are you in a job that you enjoy or do you find that may add to how your feeling currently?

I think what you said about being there for others but not being there for ourselves so much is something a lot of people could relate to. Its a bit like giving out good 'medicine' to others but not wanting to take it ourselves or finding it difficult to do so. Its important though that in being there for others, we find a way to give to ourselves too. In what ways do you feel you could begin to take better care of you, so that you dont just give and find yourself unable to get your needs met?

I hope your week improves for you and that you can get to the end of it and feel a little better than perhaps you do now.
