Thanks for the reply.


I have had a fluctuating mood this week. I've forced myself to try and be healthy, food, exercise and also got my light box out.


I am low at the moment. Again it's hard to determine exactly why. It's difficult to describe but it's like a force of just sadness that envelopes your spirit.

I have not worked for a long time due to many reasons but mainly my MH, confidence, self esteem.and social anxiety.

I want to change that this year. I don't mind what I do, even thought I'm well educated. I have a referral letter for a Psychiatrist so will try and set that up next week.


I think a lot of the problem is the social isolation and it's a viscious circle as when you're low you don't want to socialise. Constant negative rumination is also crippling.

Thanks for the Cruse tip. I definitely think I need face to face counselling, not remote.

Hope you're well. Thanks again.
