Not great today.

NeilM

Not feeling great today,  in fact I've not been feeling great for a while. I make plans to do things at the weekends but end up not doing anything. Constant over thinking, health isn't great and too much running through my mind.

    It can be like that. It's not an easy thing to go through and you've done well to talk about it. We can need a lot of time to be away from stress and demand and burnout can be a really hard thing to go through. Just because you're not managing to do the things you feel that you need to do doesn't mean you're doing wrong, or badly. 

    Giving yourself time and kindness and trying not to blame yourself and/or beat yourself up is a good start to finding energy to do things but it's a good thing to do even if it doesn't move you towards doing things in the short term. 

    If it helps and you need someone to talk to you can message me any time, or just keep talking here if it's easier for you. You're not alone, I, and many of us, know what it's like to go through similar things.

    I think it seems to be most of the time

  • I hope that your day improves. Try not to be too hard on yourself when you end up doing nothing, it's like that sometimes and being kind to yourself can help in the long term.
