    Hey @orangejuice - welcome to The Mix, it sounds like you are holding a lot right now and so you've done well to write it all down and share it with us.

    I really resonate with that feeling of knowing what I need to do, but feeling utterly unable to actually do the things that will help. How would you feel about sharing some of the things that you feel could help you right now? It could be that we can break them down into smaller, more manageable steps that could make it easier for you to give a go. So, what do you think would be the most helpful thing you could do right now, and what would be a small step that helps you on the way to achieving that?

    Hey @orangejuice and welcome!! Glad to hear things are getting better already, how was the gym? What are the other things you know will help?

    Can really relate to your post, I get this feeling of being stuck sometimes feeling just physically unable to follow my own advice on how to get myself out of it. I think noticing it is a great first step. 💜

    Definitely on the same page with you here @orangejuice , and glad to have you on The Mix!! <3

    Sometimes that overwhelming pressure to be productive is literally so draining, the idea that even on days off, or at the weekend we've got to be performing to 110% or like even our hobbies have to be to some 'traditionally-productive' end, like making money. It can be very isolating in a lot of ways too, that's why it's very awesome that you got the motivation to head on over to the gym =) What sort of stuff do you do at the gym, are you a cardio person, weights, yoga? xx

    classic, sometimes the classic things are the best for a reason, tried and tested right? =) Any type of cardio in particular? I'm personally keen on swimming when I'm just trying to relax <3
