Tired
Hi everyone, hope all is well and looking forward to the weekend.
I just wanted to talk about how I feel overwhemingly numb. Like I can acknowledge when good or bad things are happening around me, to others and to myself but it's like I don't feel anything. I do display joys, sorrows and concern but it's mostly for the benefit of others. I would often care about topics like world peace, justice, envirinment. I think I feel helpless about everything including my own life. Also, I have been getting sick often with a flu, not sure if that has something to do with it.
Update: I am better now since doing things for self-care as well as seeing my doctor for the flu. As I no longer feel weak and incapable, once more doing the normal things, I'm feeling good and hopeful. 😊
That’s great to hear!! Yes taking care of yourself is so important. It’s hard to pour from an empty cup. From theraphy, I find it helpful to write down 5 things that bring you joy. Also, I have a timer during the day to remind me how grateful I am. It’s still a battle but adding those activities help me balance my negative/ dark thoughts.
