Routine living is hard

@tabren, Yes...I understand how it feels.. Routine can be tedious too. Just like learning to walk, no matter how many times we fall, we still give it a try and finally we not only walk but could even run. As a child , when we fall down , we get right up and try again( maybe some of us cry first before we get up, nevertheless, we get up). Pain, fear , frustrations, dishearting thoughts .. never stopped us . As a child , we never overthink , our thoughts and focus were simple. Nowadays , I feel being simple is a good way. Step by step. Just wanted to share my thoughts with you. Take care and a safe social distancing hug to you.

Thank you for posting this!

I often feel the same - as if daily routine was too much, and the future was blurry. A couple of years ago my thoughts were just like yours.

For me, having difficulty taking care od my body, eating, etc. have been a sign of some health issues. Mental and physical - and both types need to be addressed and treated. It's okay to get unwell, most of us do at some point, and then get better.

Have you thought about a health check? Even seeing a GP and basic blood tests can be some step forward. And whenever you feel down, consider asking a professional for help. A doctor or a psychologist doesn't know you personally, so they have an unbiased perspective on your problems and can see more clearly.

Sometimes I have bad days, too, but I keep on trying. I don't always feel excited, but I'm trying to make small steps.

I know you can take care of yourself, too.

Sending love
