Struggling with Confidence, Motivation, and Moving Forward

I’ve been feeling increasingly weighed down by stress, pressure, and a constant sense of self-doubt. It’s started showing in other ways too, like a loss of appetite and frequent unsettling dreams, including another disturbing one just last night. Recent events have only added to the strain, making everything feel even harder to manage. While support is in place, I’ve been questioning whether it’s enough right now. At the same time, I know that getting into work could be a major step forward. It would help me regain some of the confidence that’s been chipped away over time. The longer I’ve been out of work, the more difficult it’s become to feel like I’m keeping up. Setbacks have taken a toll, and holding on to any sense of belief in myself has felt more and more like a daily battle. In general, I’ve been feeling demotivated to do things, even simple stuff. For example, I was going to wash my car yesterday afternoon but ended up not doing it because I couldn’t bring myself to. It’s been the same with other activities I might have enjoyed before.
