Blue

Everyone feels down at one time or another in their lives, but it can effect people in different ways. Sometimes it can last momentarily, other times it can last days, weeks or even years. Sometimes it might be something that we live with, but ofc we don’t have to let it take over or control us.

Here’s 10 sign you feeling blue :

1. You don’t want to get up in the mornings or you’re sleeping quite a lot.

2. You can’t face being around happy people or even your friends because you feel alone and like they wouldn’t understand.

3. You want to be alone because you feel like you will bring people around you down.

4. You feel upset for no reason at all. But more than that, you can’t seem to shake the feeling.

5. This feeling of overwhelming sadness may be accompanied by anxiety.

6. You might feel like you don’t want to talk to others about it or ask for help because you don’t feel like you are worthy of help, or that you are worth anything.

7. You find it hard to control your emotions and are feeling very sad or lethargic or just completely drained of energy all the time – or a lot of the time.

8. You feel completely unmotivated to do the things that you know you/you really should so you write the day off and say you will do it tomorrow.

9. All of these feelings and emotions are a lot for one person to deal with so this can affect sleep patterns and appetite too.

10. Another sign could be suicidal thoughts or questioning your self-worth.

These feelings may have been triggered by different life events. For example, the loss of somebody close, or feeling hopeless because of a situation you find yourself in (there is no blame here, people go through various events throughout their lives). 

Feeling like you’re not good enough? Try looking at yourself in the mirror and saying

“I can do it”,

 “I am good enough”,

“I’m worth it” – perhaps a L’oreal thing but it can work.

We need to find out what it is that is affecting your confidence in order to overcome it. Only you can answer this but there are people out there that can help you find out, you don’t have to do it alone! If you’re not comfortable with this, perhaps try talking to a friend or a member of the family. You might feel better afterwards just because you’ve said what’s on your mind aloud. You could even write your thoughts down, and then rip them up as a way of saying “right, I’m done with those feelings, you’re ripped up and in the bin now, I’m moving forward”.

Sometimes we set ourselves impossible challenges because we know we can’t achieve them and this reinforces our belief that we can’t do anything. Breaking down these resolutions into bite sized chunks can help us to achieve realistic goals one step at a time. This can help to change our thinking and allows us to prove to ourselves that we really can do it!

What’s important is that you know that it is not unusual for people to feel down or blue, and you are not alone.

You don’t have to suffer in silence. (But of course I still do...)
