I need help but don’t know how or where to get it

Post Reply New Topic

I am in a 9-5 job, and while I like what I do it’s now the only thing I do since the rest of the time I am too exhausted. I used to play sport and now I can only play once a week on a weekend, which I am enjoying less and less because I am not putting in enough practice to improve. I have Crohn’s disease and I have had this new pain in the left part of my belly for coming up to two months. No idea what it is because it doesn’t seem to trigger consistently on touch or other movement. My parents don’t listen to me when I feel sad and need to share my problems. I have no friends that I meet up, they're all working too and have their own lives. I don’t know what to do to feel happier, and I am limited on time because of my job. I’m afraid this is all there is to my life and I’ll be alone. I’m struggling.

I’ve given it a few days and I still feel sad. I’m going to feel like this forever.

Is there anything you enjoy doing that generates enough energy to override the exhaustion temporarily?

No, nothing. I play video games which can distract from the exhaustion sometimes I guess. I wish I could have deeper relationships with some people around my age, I’ve always struggled to connect with anyone not in my family in that way.
