A problem shared op 
Is it sunny where you are?
If so just a simple thing.
Go to the window pull back the curtain, close your eyes and feel the sun on your face. Just for a few seconds nothing more. |

So sorry to read this. You do right in posting this thread as you need to tell someone about how you're feeling.
Have you spoken with your GP recently?
Are you able to do a little something today to distract you? Exercise helps so a brisk walk perhaps?
Put some happy music on, go easy on yourself and take life a day at a time. On very bad days take it an hour at a time. Just keep going. Those dark clouds will lift one day |

It’s ok to let it out here.
It’s a really hard time at the moment. Lots of us have really struggled with this lockdown.
Practical thoughts are, have you checked your levels of vitamin D and magnesium, and do you take a probiotic, these can all have a huge impact on your mental health.
Have you considered talking to a counsellor? Do you have a friend you can talk to in the meantime?

"So sorry for this . I’ll be fine
Thank you for the responses  "
But its OK to not be fine too.
And get it out to feel better... You care for yourself enough to express that, which is a positive thing. You will be fine indeed.  |

Been there OP, quite recently. Lockdown took its toll and I almost admitted defeat.
Don’t try & change too much at once, think of something small but positive that you can change, pick one a week and I’m sure you’ll make yourself feel better.
Also if you’re really struggling don’t be afraid to reach out to anyone you can trust! |

It's okay not to be okay. Thanks for raising this OP. I wish you well, as other have offered that friendly ear, take them up on it, chat it through with a friend or someone offline too.
This page on the NHS website has some good places to contact.

Mental health is something that we are starting to learn more about. I hope anyone who are struggling find the help that they need. You aren't alone.
I don't suffer with it but I know lots of people who do. Sometimes it turns tragic. All I can say is talk to people. Life is hard so you don't want to put more stresses and pressure on yourself.
Get help as soon as you can. You will be so happy that you did. |

My son who was only a year younger than you ended his life 8 months ago due to depression.
If you really do feel like there's no other way out message me, you need to talk to someone and there's no better than a stranger who knows all and doesn't judge.
I'm here if you need me... |

I have felt like this for about 8 weeks now.
What makes it feel even worse is that I have to be up at 4am on a Monday to travel to London for work and don't get home until 6 pm on a friday.
So if I don't have a good weekend my cycle just goes full circle for the next week
Having gyms has always been a stress relief for me but those are closed so the stress just keeps building up. |

Thank you for the responses
You have no need to be sorry. X"
Are you 100% sure you’ll be fine? If not, please call your GP. Even if it’s just to make them aware xx Sending so much love, it’s not easy xx

I hope the day has got a bit better OP and to anyone feeling the same.
I'm not long off the phone to my sister who is also feeling pretty crap at the moment......there's a lot of it about.

Feeling much better now and wish the same for you x

Yes thats the one mate.
There is no anti depressant like throwing heavy arsed weights about and getting the stress of the day out.
I always walk out feeling reborn.
People who don't lift just don't understand that feeling. |
