Feeling Low?

You don’t need a label to know you don’t have your old life anymore. I understand this, and not from a textbook.

When several big things happened to me, my energy and interest in life just fell away. The colour went. I lost my mojo.

I did get on with my obligations. But I was unbearably sad. I felt completely flat. For months I felt adrift, unmoored in my life, despite the efforts of my dear husband of 30 years, family, and friends. There was no purpose to anything.

Maybe you relate to this sense of emptiness?

One day, it dawned: I’d lost my life and I needed to get it back. Either my old life, or a new one. If not, I’d go into decline and die. That’s the 4am truth. 

You may be experiencing something different. But when your mood is low, when you feel depressed, it’s like you’re sleepwalking through each day. I get it.

Procrastinating?

So many of us find it hard to face up to the truth of a situation, We ignore making a change that’s needed. Is this you, too?

It’s instinct, really. As humans, it’s only natural to delay difficult, painful actions: after all, time might improve things.

One day we see the price of our inaction. Sometimes it’s our health. Our finances. Our relationship with someone we care most about.  Nearly always the price we pay is with our peace of mind. And how we feel about ourselves. We lose trust, and confidence in ourselves.

Even then, we can resist doing what’s needed.

Or maybe you’ve tried but find yourself trapped in cycle. An eating disorder, drinking too much, overmedicating, overspending, risky behaviours.

If you’re caught in a struggle of this kind, I feel for you. It really does feel like hell.

I procrastinated for years, and about big things too…one of the hardest was my eating disorder which was an internal war that created havoc with my life. 

Whether it’s one thing you’re putting off, or a pattern of behaviour, I get it. I also know you can find do things differently.

Something Else?

If you’re struggling with a situation in your life, counselling can help.

It might be that you just need some space to talk through what’s happening, to figure out what you’re actually feeling and needing, to hear yourself say something out loud.

If you’re feeling stuck, if you know there has to be something better, it’s time to try something different. There’s no need to stay in a cycle of overthinking or feeling anxious.
