Mama Zombie

I feel like I am walking through my life like a zombie. I don't have the strength or energy to force my self to do the things I know need to be done. I want to go to sleep and pretend the way I am living is just a bad dream and wake up to a new reality. I am letting myself down, my husband down and my children down. I find no joy in my life and yet I have so much to be joyful about. I am angry and hateful with those I love the most. I want to be more! I hate who I ma right now!

Welcome to DS and this group. We are accustomed to posts similar to yours.

Don't know much of your history, but the first thing I recommend is to get an evaluation, diagnosis (if any), and treatment plan from the medical profession.

Much of what you describe can be physiological AND treatable.

Sorry you are going through this. I've had the zombie feeling before, Prozac did that to me. Hope you get some relief soon.

Welcome and you are not alone! I agree with everyone and the first step is to get help from the professionals. The next step is to post here and lean on us! :)

I often feel the same way you describe, but I call it going through the motions of life. :( I am usually around during the week if you like to talk.

I agree with what the others said. However, I know that it may be too hard to seek help when you feel like that. I call it rabbit hole days, because I want to jump in the rabbit-hole like Bugs Bunny and pull the lid closed. If you can't face getting help just now, do it soon! In the mean time be gentle to yourself. Try to find something little thing to do that makes you feel better or happy. Keep posting, here that will help as well. I am wishing you better times and feelings
