I feel emotionless and unmotivated all day everyday

I just don't recognise myself anymore, I don't want to do anything I feel... Nothing
I don't enjoy the same things anymore.

I just don't recognise myself anymore, I don't want to do anything I feel... Nothing is the best way to put it. I cry over the smallest things I always feel somewhat sad. Its probably cause of this virus stuff and I'm stuck in my house 24/7 but I'm just scared I've never felt this way before I don't even know who I am, I don't enjoy the same things anymore.

Its gotten to the point I don't know if anyone will really understand or I'll need help. Cause when I'm out of this house and my life is slightly more normal what will happen then I'll have to build myself up...

Help 😭

Hey . That is a totally normal reaction to this lockdown, I promise you. What I can also promise you is that it will end!

Try and stay in touch with friends and family as much as you can. I got myself into a bit of a rut a couple of weeks ago, I just wasn't looking after myself at all, but I changed that. I have lovely relaxing baths every night, take time to read .. it hasn't solved the problem, but it's made things at least a little bit better.

If these feelings continue after lockdown end, then I would advise that you see your GP .

It's totally normal - we've all had our lives flipped on their heads and we can't just be expected to be totally normal

Keep trying to find new things to do and new activities to have, it's good to keep your brain ticking over. If not, take some time out to re-evaluate your situation and how you're going to spend it.

Hi there,

I want to reassure you that it is normal to feel this way. Life feels so uncertain for so many people right now and it is understandable that the lockdown and the restrictions surrounding it have left you feeling sad, lost and unmotivated.

Talking about what we are experiencing is an important part of recovery from our difficult feelings. Given that it is such a challenging time for you right now, do you have people at home or friends you can talk to?
