It sounds as though you're feeling low, is that right? I'm so sorry to hear it. It can be incredibly difficult to feel optimistic or even just 'okay' about the day to come under the current circumstances, even more so if you're already struggling with your mental health.
Do you want to talk more about what specifically is making you feel this way? We're all here to support you, Ellie

That's wonderful news @ellie2000! You should be really proud of yourself for this.
It sounds like you've been feeling this way for a while, even before lockdown. What coping techniques have helped when you've felt like this before? Are there any you could adapt or still do, during lockdown?
I totally hear you that it's hard to be upbeat or even content right now, and you absolutely don't have to be super positive given the current circumstances. Simply getting to a place where you feel 'okay' getting up everyday, without that sense of dread, is a big step by itself. We're here to listen and help you get through this.

Its ok if getting out of bed is difficult, sometimes all we can do is just wake up and that’s ok. We’re all proud of how far you’ve come, sorry I can’t say anything better or more helpful and sorry if I sounded patronising. I don’t have any advice but I just wanted to say we’re here we’re listening and We all care about you, you don’t have to go through anything alone. here if you ever need anything
