Not going well

July 27th, 2020 at 07:17 pm

I have found myself in somewhat of a depression. Although I got the news that I do not have a brain tumor, there are some other issues that will have to be checked by a neurologist. I have some stress and anxiety from this. I am having a hard time with the loss of my dog. Even though I knew this day would come, I am incredibly sad. I am just not coping with everything well. So I spent money. Money that I don't have. I'm ashamed. I can convince myself that we need more food or that we need something for the house. I am needing to eat a little different diet, so I did have to buy some things but I got too much. So now I have to sit down and figure out the aftermath. With the vet bill and our regular expenses, I didn't have anything extra so I am dreading even looking at it. I need something else to help me feel better. Exercise is not an option right now. No garden this year. Can't concentrate long enough to read. I'm open to some suggestions.

    Sorry you’re having extra issues on top of what the world and country are already throwing at us. I certainly don’t have the answers, but maybe try audio books since you can’t read, and maybe tai chi or chair yoga could fill in for exercise and stress reduction? I’ve heard humor can be helpful, so maybe watch/listen to comedy shows or podcasts? Best wishes to you.

    I'm sorry you are going through such a difficult time. Does your health insurance cover counseling? If so it might be helpful to talk to someone who can help you to identify healthy ways to deal with the stress you are under. Many people often turn to shopping to help them feel better when they are feeling down, only to find it actually adds to their stress in the long run. Be kind to yourself and I hope things get better for you. ((Hugs))

    I'm very sorry you are so stressed. You have a lot going on and it's tough. Then we have the Pandemic on top of it.

    Are there other things you like to do that don't involve spending money? I'm sorry you can't read. Do you craft? Do puzzles. Stuff you can do for a short time and then put down?

    As Wink suggested, see if you can see or talk to a counselor.

    Prayers for you!

    When you say exercise is not an option, is a walk too strenuous? Even sitting outside can be a mood lifter. Talking to a trusted friend could help. I’m sorry that things are so rough for you right now.

    as someone who has several health issues including 24/7 dizziness..I can understand your frustration and how easy it is to feel depressed...and I am so sorry you have been feeling this way...others have suggested things you can do and can I suggest that sit down and do your budget if it is to much right now explain to your partner and see if he will take it over or you can do it together to help yourself from spending what you don't have...one thing I learnt to do was to blog to myself..like a diary either in a book or on the computer it got all my frustrations, thoughts and everything out and i could also reflect later...I do hope that you find out what is wrong...I wish you the best

    I second (or third) the idea of a counselor, if your insurance covers it. Also, as Terri said, a conversation with a friend can help. It has to be the right friend -- not someone who will say, "Stop feeling sorry for yourself!" A kind soul and a good listener. Do you have one of those?
