No energy or motivation
I just woke up a little while ago and I'm still exhausted, I feel like I could sleep all day. But I have things that I need to get done today and I'm facing some really big challenges and changes in my life starting tomorrow. I can feel my body reacting to the stress, my stomach is upset and I can feel all the muscles in my lower back clenching up. I hope I'm up to the challenges I'm about to face, I don't feel strong enough. I'm slowly upping my antidepressant with the guidance of my doctor, I'm hoping that helps me feel better. I have another therapy session coming up but it's not until January 14th. I'm just trying to hang on and take things one day at a time and not let the problems that are lurking out there get to me. I have so much to deal with and when I think about it all that's what makes me spiral downward. Thanks for listening!

You wouldn't believe it but I relate completely with what you wrote . As I was reading your post line after line , I realised that this is the exact same issue I am dealing with . I am finding it extremely tough to even get up from my bed in the morning . My psychiatrist has upped my meds and I am hoping it helps me .
I wish you all the best and hope you gather energy to meet your daily goals ....Bye. :)
try hurting myself I been dealing with depression and anxiety since I was small hope to find someone to help me out changing my life and having hope again.

I hear you've been dealing with alot of stress and exhaustion. Those things can definitely feed off of eachother. It can feel really frustrating to get sleep but still feel exhausted. I hear you've been experiencing some physical symptoms linked to the stress you've been experiencing. It sounds like you're preparing for some big changes which can definitely make you feel stressed. I'm glad to hear you're upping your medication dosage, I hope it can provide at least a small bit of relief, you deserve it! I hope your therapy session goes well! When you say the amount you have to deal with makes you spiral, i'm curious what spiraling looks like for you?
Anyways, I know i'm late to this post but take it easy on yourself and take it one day at a time! You can get through this and I hope you're doing better now! Stay strong!
it takes a lot of courage to open up about what we're going through. thank you for saying what you said. there are a lot of times i feel this way and while I know I'm not alone I hope you're aware of that too. let's do our best together
@Tangodream I’m sorry you are feeling overwhelmed, it sounds like a really challenging time. I think it’s great that you are taking the steps to handle with the upcoming challenges one day at a time. I hope you feel better! You are doing great. 😊

I'm so sorry to hear that you are feeling down and having difficulty to get up from bed. I'm also glad that you are seeing a therapist and using medications. You are not alone in this situation many are also facing similar problems. Continue with your medication and therapy and never relapse.
@Tangodream It sounds like you are really stressed, and those reactions, like stomach upsets and feeling exhausted and having low energy, these are all real things that happen in depression and stress. I am really happy that you are atleast seeking support for it. Its totally okay to feel less motivated, but i know you can do it, i believe in you. Keep up the hope! I am happy that you didnt give up.
How are things going on for you lately?
