Feeling so down

JudyFZ

I haven't posted in here for awhile. I was much more active in the anxiety group, but was feeling better until recently and now I'm feeling very depressed, not anxious.

Mainly I'm coming to terms with the fact that I may never be able to have children. I think I was in denial about it for a long time, keeping my hopes up but now it is kind of hitting me and once it did, it sent me into a deep depression.

Nothing looks hopeful right now. I don't want to be around anyone, and there's nothing to look forward to. I have no feelings of passion and I'm not even exercising or anything - have been barely exercising at all for the past eight months. I just don't see the point. I don't like the way I look now, but I can't seem to get the motivation to get moving again. I just don't feel like I have anything to strive for or look forward to right now.

I am sorry for your pain. I wish I could get a promotion after working the same freaking job for 8 years, doing every position but supervision, but the cards just don't have that in store for me, and where i'm from you gotta come out of the right vagina to get anywhere. I was born to poor people who don't matter to the people in charge, so no go for me. Maybe it' s over rated, being a supervisor, having kids, having a man, (I'd def say having a man is overrated) or having a hot body.

Do some meditation/relaxation techniques, see if it helps. It helps me when I do them, but finding the motivation to do it is my problem. Cause like when you feel like shit, you're just not motivated to do anything, but sit around feeling like shit. I know, I am often there myself. As far as reasons for feeling like shit, pick one, there are so many for me, prob the same for you too.
