At the moment I've had quite a lot on in my life and have been struggling to motivate myself - I'm constantly feeling really low. I now know that I had glandular fever a few months back and that I may just be quite tired from that but I think it's more than that.
I feel so crap about everything I do and feel like giving up. I never have enough energy to go out, going to school is literally the only time I go out of the house. At school I just sit on my own and stare into the distance... I've tried talking to teachers but I don't really know what to say. My head is so overcrowded with stuff and I can't think clearly about anything.
There are a few things you can try but they're no replacement for professional help.
Sounds like there's no joy in life. Time to help your inner child escape the prison she is in. Do something silly or fun, maybe totally out of character or way different from your current schedule. Laughter is a great booster of those neuro transmitters in our brain that keep us from becoming weary and depressed. Another way to get your low vibrational levels up is movement, like dancing, jogging, or something silly like skipping like a kid. I am grandma age and tried skipping the other day, and could not do it without having a goofy smile on my face or giggling. Also therapeutic is music and singing. Not all music will help but there will be certain songs you've listened to in the past that make your spirit inside feel lighter like a helium balloon that wants to just float out of your chest. Hugs, good long bear hugs are needed on a daily basis to be in good emotional health. Sounds like you dont get any not even once a week and the minimum needed according to statistics is 8 per day. No one gets that so we have to boost our vibrational levels and neurotransmitters in the other ways i have mentioned.
Try also taking time to do some Yoga breathing. It can help to clear your mind along with meditation. Look it up on line or find a meetup group in your area that focuses on yoga, health and emotional wellness. Meetups .com has so many meet ups. They are usually free or a minimal charge and held at coffee houses to library meeting rooms. Find one that sounds like a positive up beat group. Some groups offer energy healing for each other and visitors. You need to be proactive and do these things even tho at first you really dont feel like it or have the energy.
