Feeling Assorted Guilt

Jenniferswe

I've been feeling a lot of guilt over different things.  It seems like something different everyday.  Sometimes its over something that wouldn't have guilt associated with.


I think its because of the Covid-19 virus and lockdowns lasting so long.  Everyday seems so monotinous.  I miss my job at Burger place.  I had made friends there.  That's rare for me.  I've been looking for another job on and off but I don't want to start over again.  I want my job that I grew to like.  Sure it didn't pay much but that's still more than nothing.


I don't have much motivation and a lot of fatigue now.  I think if something interesting came up, my motivation would increase.

Whenever I start feeling guilty about the past, I always am developing depression or have depression. I focus on being in the present as best as I can. And all other antidepressant treatments. You are showing many signs of depression such as loss of motivation, fatigue, guilt etc. Relaxation. Keep busy. Read, TV, Internet, phone calls, hobbies, learn something you always wanted to learn e.g. a new language. I study Spanish as a hobby. Me gusta español :-).

Big hug for you Jennifer..... I know that these times are rough for all of us.... I would try and focus on something else if you start ruminating

Maybe colour or watch a movie... Take a nice warm bath and light candles.... small things that can make a difference

It's good that you're venting here.... xo

Jenn,

The best advice given to me after a terrible break up was:

"Your going to have to be like one of those people who loose everything in a tornado...Your going to have to walk away and not look back..."

Hard to do but it does help...((((hugs))) none of this is easy...
