    Hey Hannah *hug*

    Is there anything in particular that helps you to feel better when you're feeling like this? Maybe like the distraction you had earlier today? :)

    I had a teary and emotional night, again with no sleep.I was up literally most of the night.

    I am stressed out still, and tired and drained though that is natural to me.x

    Self Esteem has just fallen lower...Saw that I have put on weight. Im so fat and ugly 😰😰


    Hi HannahBannanna,

    Sorry to hear you're feeling low about putting on weight. It's really common at this time of year with so much food around but there's plenty you can do to help yourself feel fit and healthy again :) Getting out for regular walks or exercise of some kind as well as working on having a balanced diet can all help. Are you able to get much exercise at the moment? Exercise can be really good for your moods too.

    You might also like to take a look at our article on boosting self esteem and see if there is anything you can try.

    Take care *hug*

    Hi Jo,

    Thank you for replying to me-And for editing it which I fully understand and respect by the way.

    It certainly is common at this time of year however this is something which has been gradually building up and affecting me more.

    I struggle with my eating in general which I feel is a part of the issue.I am unable to get much exercise at the moment and this is another part of how I'm affected by my mental health-health in general.

    Thanks,I'll take a look at that link.

    Hi Cat88,

    It is helping me to open up on here, thank you.

    I am feeling pretty down atm but am used to it.

    Can't stand New Year either as it means nothing to me anymore :s

    Hi Hannah - really glad to hear that posting is helping you open up. Everyone here on TheSite is here to listen and support you. Sorry to hear that you're still feeling down. Change often doesn't happen over night and is a process, it's great that you're reaching out here for support! New Year's can be a tricky time for everyone with so much pressure to have a good time. If it's lost a bit of meaning to you, maybe you can take the evening to relax and do something nice for yourself? Maybe work on your list? Keep us updated.

    It's lost a lot of meaning as crap happens all year round so it's not really a new year and nothing good will chance.I don't know this for sure but do have a really strong feeling about that.

    I have to go out tonight.I have no choice.Though even if i could do something nice for myself,I wouldn't be able to.

    I've been crying for the past few hours straight now and it's horrible :(
