I am so sick and tired of the constant struggle to keep everything in order and running smoothly. My hours at work have just been cut, therefore everything else is now on a balancing board, debt to pay off, car to fix. I know we are all in that boat these days..along with all the negativity at work. My bosses are awful, but that is just part of life. I have to try so hard just to do everything how it should be at work, keep order, get things done..and its exhausting...too exhausting. I shouldn't be this tired. I'm in my twenties..
My boyfriend has left for 7 months, and even before that I've felt like this..maybe its circumstantial, but when I went to the doctor back in January his advice was that I need to become vegan. I hate feeling like I am making this up or being patronized for how I am feeling, and not being able to talk to anyone about this. I am struggling. Isn't it easy enough to see? Why is there no one to talk to about it? I try too, to overcome things on my own. I work out all the time, I try to go out with my friends and have a good time, but nothing is fun. I go to parties, meet new people, try new things... Nothing brings the joy that it used to, nothing really every makes me feel upbeat. I just want to stay in my house and sleep. It feels like I'm being honest for the first time in years saying these things. I am just too tired of puting on my smile and getting through things. I want to live and be happy! I just dont know how to get there again. |

Have you tried medication and/or therapy?
It appears that going through the motions isn't helping you at the moment. In fact, no one should have to "go through the motions." you deserve better.

In depression . . . faith in deliverance, in ultimate restoration, is absent. The pain is unrelenting, and what makes the condition intolerable is the...feeling felt as truth...that no remedy will come -- not in a day, an hour, a month, or a minute. . . . It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul.-William Styron |

You do sound like you might be going through a bout of depression.....I suggest making an appointment with the doctor and telling him about it. Or, ideally, making an appointment with a therapist--who can be a listening ear. You do sound like you're going through a lot. Your feelings are certainly justified! But, you're right, you do need to be enjoying life, and seeing a therapist certainly can help head you in that direction!
