Hi everyone,
I have been diagnosed with depression and several anxiety disorders but I am currently in the process of having my diagnosis's reviewed as my cpn thinks there might be someone else.
Anyway, I've been struggling a bit lately. I have had problems with my mental health for quite some time but usually my problem has been feeling too much, experiencing really intense emotions. However in the past few months it feels like my emotions have dulled. It kind of feels like I'm not even alive. Nothing feels the same as it used to and I hate it. It feels like there's a veil over everything. I am also constantly bored. I know everyone gets bored but it's gotten the point where no matter what I do, even stuff I usually enjoy, I just feel bored. I can't stand how bored I am of just everything.
I'm finding things really difficult and getting treatment has been an uphill battle ever since I was referred to secondary mental health services and it'll be at least a month before I even get to speak to someone and god knows how many months till treatment actually starts. I feel so stuck and I have no idea what to do

Gosh this sounds difficult for you. I'm glad you have reached out and told us your situation. You say you are bored of things you usually enjoy? What sort of things are they? Have you tried new things to try and re engage yourself and make it a bit more exciting for you? I'm afraid i can't speed up your treatment but i can recommend Samaritans, 7cups, childline (if under 19) and get connected. All of these offer fantastic chat and/or phone 1 to 1 chats which can really help and support people.
Finally , here at TheMix we have a group support chat which runs from sunday-thursday 8pm-9.30pm which can really help as you get to hear about other experiences.
