Rowantree you are NOT pathetic .
Have you seen your GP ?
I had a really bad breakdown some years ago and for some years after if going through a down time I was so fearful I was
heading for another breakdown, I didn’t though.
A virus can drag us down , flue causes depression so can any virus.
Do you feel low come the start of winter ? Several of us who post on this thread do.
So many things can cause us to feel low, this sounds daft but
right outside my living room window is a beautiful flowering cherry tree, looking at it this morning, bare branches , I felt
down, am curled up on the sofa and can’t be bothered to do
anything .
I have listed some reasons for feeling as you do but only a GP
can diagnose depression.
Don’t try to set yourself so many goals , reading your list of going to the gym, exercise classes, sewing projects, I wouldn’t want to get out of bed. You seem to be challenging yourself ?
Please don’t compare yourself to others, you don’t know their
thoughts, their troubles they don’t share . You are knocking your self confidence .
I felt very down yesterday evening, my younger granddaughter has moved to the same place as her brother and sister, they and my two granddaughters partners were all in the same apartment together , they FaceTimed me, lovely to see them all together but I realised another part of my life was over, got an empty nest again .
Have a chat with your GP, and talk to us here, we are here for each other and we all understand.
By the way, the election campaign is making me feel down ?
do let me know if John McDonald is as charming in real life as on tv x
