So how are you today?
I've been rather sleepy (tail end of a cold) and feeling quite meh and low today. I'm sure it will pass, but I struggle with the winter months.
So how are you? Really? |

Enter a workplace of which doesn’t for fill anything for me - except pay bills. 5 years of studying for this. Daily it irritates me.
But apart from hating work, I’m very well! Will head home in about 25-30 minutes from work, hit the gym & I’m getting an Italian takeaway.
Calamari, A nice pizza, garlic bread & a glass of wine. |

I am feeling low, I too struggle in these winter months and especially with the Christmas season being thrust upon us so early, I hate Christmas. Very down about it.  |

After several stressful weeks, I've finally managed to take some time off & relax.
Spent time with family, caught up with friends, had a little bit of me time.
Got a few things coming up to look forward too.
I'm feeling on top of the world.
Hugs to those that need them xx |

That's demoralising for sure. Can you sign up with a temp agency for any temp job to see you through until a "proper" one comes along?

I'd like to get a bunch of us who struggle with christmas, or who have no family, and get us all together for a party where we'll turn the TV and radio etc off, eat lasagna and chips and drink cocktails and listen to anything ANYTHING but christmas songs...

Horrible time of year for me. These dark evenings bring back some painful feelings.
I’m going away for a couple of weeks next week hoping a change of scenery and weather will bring me back to life.
Short term I have just made a lasagna with a twist so I’m going to chow down on it later and then keep busy.
I know I’m not going to get better and I’m already damaged but I just need to push through and keep going. |

Really good. But rather than drivel on about that I'd rather send good wishes to those that aren't. If I was still a DJ I'd play "Everybody Hurts" for all of you. And fuck Christmas. It's just a day. I've spent a few alone in recent years and it's not that bad. Just pisses me off there's never any Marx Brothers films on any more.... |

I make a bucket load of chilli and apple chutney each year. Mix this into the meat and it’s really tasty. Sweet and spicy.

Sorry this is going to sound daft and it's very easy for me to say, I don't know your circumstances etc but get a different job, if you hate it so much what is the point of being there. It is likely you spend more time at work than you do with friends, family etc it's just not worth wasting that time on sonething you hate, no matter how hard or long you have worked to get there. There are more important things in life!!!! |

Going to throw a dampener on the post. Tired work getting on my nerves but apart from that everything is fab. Annoyingly happy looking forward to the rest of the year and on into next, there only seems to be one thing proving to be difficult to find round this off nicely. |

Sending hugs and positive thoughts to all those who are feeling meh or stressed or low for whatever reason.
I'm a bit exhausted. Mentally and emotionally drained with recent events. But I'll keep going somehow because that's what I do. I have some lovely things to look forward to and that helps a lot. |

To anyone who is struggling...
No matter how long or how dark the night gets, the sun will rise in the morning.
If anybody at all on this thread needs to talk my inbox is open, as im sure many other will be too. Keep fighting and keep moving forward the dawn will come.

Sorry to hear that, Jade. Sending hugs
Unusually, I reasonably upbeat today, by my own standards. No real readon for it, and I could well be back down again tomorrow. As others have said, the dark nights don't help, but I'm not a bad as I used to be with that.
For the others struggling with the dark, would one of those daylight-replicating lamps help? I don't think they're cheap, but what price your mental health?
Best wishes and bear hugs to everyone |

We are full of anxiety, and some heartache, and fears for the present and the future. Along with the usual stress and worry about work. But we have lived through far worse. Right now we are taking a little break from everything, searching for some peace and quiet. |

OP I really appreciate threads like this, thank you. It's also nice (if that's the right word) to read the open and honest replies given.
We have had a stressful time lately, my (her) daughter has recently attempted to take her life and we have other stress factors too.
Trying our best to be pragmatic, approach all issues correctly & positively whilst putting plans in place. It is tiring to say the least.
Please do not underestimate the importance of good mental wellbeing. We all need to reach out at some point even if to vent to a counsellor on the phone, it will help you. There are tremendous services available 24/7 for those who need support.
How have I been feeling today? not too bad in all honesty, I am not as tired as I have recently been. Fingers crossed each day gets better.

You know I've had a shit day. Feel rough, flue like and feeling a little sorry for myself.
Then I read up the thread and yes I certainly have some issues but not as intense as loss and grief...been there.
I know it's all relative but still. I wouldn't say I'm feeling lucky just reflective.
To everyone who is feeling it...whatever it may be, best wishes to you.
And those who have had a good day, fair play to you.

Hugs to all those struggling.
It's a difficult time of year for those of us without all the things we feel we 'should' have.
I dont have close family a partner or children and live on my own and don't have friends close by.
I spend nearly all of my time when I'm not at work alone.
At the moment I hate my job too.
There's an older woman that really dislikes me and is making things difficult.
I'm lonely and trapped.

"Hugs to all those struggling.
It's a difficult time of year for those of us without all the things we feel we 'should' have.
I dont have close family a partner or children and live on my own and don't have friends close by.
I spend nearly all of my time when I'm not at work alone.

I'm trying to find the words just to say that sounds so shit.
trapped and lonely...I've felt that a few times in my life and I know how bad that feels. If you ever want to talk I'm at the end of a message xx |

"So how are you today?
I've been rather sleepy (tail end of a cold) and feeling quite meh and low today. I'm sure it will pass, but I struggle with the winter months.
So how are you? Really?"
Anxiety and depression anyway but this time of year is really hard just to get motivated i find it hard to drive on dark gloomy days just want to hibernate till spring. Taking vit D as its supposed to help with SAD |

"Late back from an all day meeting situated many many miles from home
Have had to carry my own suitcase in from the car
...I've had happier evenings "
No one should ever have to carry their own suitcase   |

That’s my life too. I’m tired, lonely, no time or energy to do anything, feeling unloved and generally struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel at the moment |

I’ve struggled massively at times in my life, and still do.
I’m honest enough to admit that there’s been times, as recently as 2018, when everything has gone terribly wrong and I was completely consumed with thoughts of ending it all.
Why say that? Well, life is still very tough, but I don’t feel like that now. Things are demonstrably got better than they were.
I hope that gives people hope that things can change.
Keep on keeping on folks.

I don’t mind winter. I love the cosiness of winter. Although I am a sun worshipper.
I’m very good thanks. Nearly December and I love December, so many exciting plans and I’m seeing my gorgeous man very soon. So all in all I’m a happy bunny |

"Utterly dreadful. Not coping with work because of everything going on personally. Not a good few months for me and dreading my first christmas without a partner in 10 years. "
PM me if you need someone to chat to. Absolutely no expectations on my part. |

I understand these feelings completely.
I've had a shitty year (infact probably 10 years) I have to just keep going. Always seems as if falling apart or struggling is something only other people are allowed to do. Whenever I've told people I am it's dismissed.
Sending hugs to all who need them xx |
