I’m having one of those weeks or days where I just physically can’t convince myself to do anything after work. It’s like the motivation that I usually have to get things done has evaporated!Washing dishes seems like a tedious and exhausting task.
Do you ever feel like that?
I feel so emotionally drained right now, that i feel like there is a huge weight on my chest making it hard for me to take deep breaths, the pressure below my eyes are just as heavy. It feels as though they are both waiting for the final straw to fall for an eruption of tears to commence! It’s weird! I’m not a person who resorts to crying… I see it as a sign of weakness or wasted energy that can be used in another way. Perhaps I have reached saturation point due to the events of the past couple of months?
Do you ever feel like crying?
I am not feeling very social either if I’m going to be honest. I would much rather stay at home and be curled up under my warm duvet sleeping like a bear in hibernation for winter. Maybe I’m in a state of depression and I don’t know it.
Do you ever feel like crying without knowing why?

Poor dear, what’s happening to you happens to almost everyone who who has lived through what you’re living through. Post traumatic stress brings with it depression, restlessness, the inability to concentrate, and a host of other symptoms. I have learned these things from personal experience, although I have not lived through what you have. I had to get help. Antidepressants and talk therapy helps more than being alone.
If you reach out to others who have survived the Hell you’ve been in, you will be surprised to learn that they too, are going through the same thing. Some self-medicate with alcohol, drugs or even food.
I wish you well. I dream of a steady healing for you. Most of all, I pray that you find peace through help from those who know how.
Be well!

Sure, who can say that life is all happy times.
Its sort of like catching a cold and realizing how we take things for granted.
Feeling down normally can be caused by being physically tired, not getting enough sleep, or in most cases emotional shortcoming (caused by being homesick, or bored).
Finding something to do, whatever that might be, can usually take your mind off things. Going for a long walk can help distress.
The bad days are ment to make the good days much better.
