I have periods like this, I've suffered with severe bouts of anxiety/panic disorder and depression for the last decade and for the past 6+ months it's been worse than ever not going to lie. Just had an awful start to the year and it really affected me to the point where I was pretty much bed-bound around the middle of the year. Thankfully all came okay but the "trauma" still leaves a physical mark on people.

All I can say is (besides seeing a GP and asking for a referral for some sort of counsellor which I have and find really helpful) - nobody, even me who experiences it, can tell you how to get out of the weird funk you're in. It's different for everyone and you just have to find your own way of coping/getting through.

The best thing I find to do, is just keep busy - even little things like go for a walk around the block or something, interact with people, text/call someone and keep your brain "interested" in something. Get a hobby maybe (I recently did a portrait painting in oils for the first time and loved it, just an hour or two here and there). Even if it's the last thing you feel like you want to do, even if you have no energy, just do it. Get outside, fresh air etc. For me, that helps. Just kind of neutralises your mood, resets your thoughts and more importantly DISTRACTS you, that's the key. The worst thing you can do is just sit doing nothing and being totally inside your own head. It can be terrifying.

I hope your mood improves very soon and am always here to talk. Sometimes it's easier to talk to a total stranger. x
