In a rut.
| Mon, 02-15-2010 - 1:33pm |
Currently in a rut. I suffer from anxiety and depression. I'm currently on meds for both but I seem to just not be going anywhere. My house is a mess and i live day to day. Can't seem to see the future right now. Used to be one of my most important qualities. I feel hopeless and just stuck. I am the singlemother of a 2 year old and I don't want him to suffer from this. In debt and terribly unorganized. HELP!!! I don't want to feel like this isn't something I can't overcome. Having trouble with my diet. Either I over eat or forget to eat. What to do? Any suggestions, feedback, anything is welcome. Please. Not used to reaching out but I need outside help.

((HUG)) Sorry to hear your in a rut.
Hey, sorry to hear that you feel in a rut right now. Me too. I live in the mid-Atlantic and the weather has been awful. Its either snowing, or about to snow, or we're digging out from the last snow. And the temps haven't been much above freezing in forever. Its cold, and gray and I just want to lay on the couch and knit and watch the Olympics. Is it possible that this time of year is difficult for you? I checked ivillage and I don't think there is a separate board for Seasonal Affective Disorder, but if the shorter days are affecting you, perhaps when Spring comes and the weather warms up and the sun finally returns, you'll feel better.
Otherwise, I think its pretty easy to find that we've fallen into a rut and OMGoodness is it difficult to climb out. How about starting an exercise routine or just forcing yourself out for a walk everyday? I have never relied on my anti-depressants to fight my depression: I watch everything I eat, exercise, pray, meditate, avoid caffeine, and never, ever drink alcohol.
This is a difficult battle, honey. I feel your pain. Love, Mo.
Hi,
It sounds as though life may be overwhelming you. The burdens of being the sole provider to a 2 year old is a daunting task. Add to that being in debt and anything else that's going on for you
