Chorichori Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 It's been 1-2 months since my toxic relationship ended. I had been coping but now I am in nursing school and am working about 4-5 days a week. I was doing fine until this weekend I just felt so dead and unmotivated. I spent a day sleeping in, watching shows but it still hasn't changed for me. I do feel lonely sometimes but at the same time don't feel like going out anywhere with a friend. Today that empty feeling turned to anger. I became extremely irritable and just feel angry and bothered by anyone. I'm not relaxed or positive. Is it the stress from school? Maybe the pain from my wisdom tooth? Is it feeling alone? How do I get past this feeling? I feel like doing nothing and am so demotivated and just in a negative mood all the time. Link to comment
Seymore Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Well if your wisdom tooth is giving you pain, you'd best get that taken out, first of all... I'm a year out of a toxic relationship and I still often feel the same as you. Sometimes my entire weekends consist of staying in, sleeping 4 hours a night, then trying to sleep the rest of the day. But this weekend I'm trying something a coworker mentioned: Decluttering. I know it sounds weird coming from a guy but I spent 6 hours today doing it, threw away five shopping carts full of stuff and just got started. My place feels a bit more "zen" now, if that makes any sense? Other than that, I've forced myself to get out and do a hobby that helps me interact with other people. Just talking to people, not like I gotta hang with them or anything. You're only 1-2 months out, it's normal to feel this way. Heck, getting out of bed to do laundry is a chore sometimes still. But don't push yourself too hard, you'll get there bit by bit. Link to comment
Matt3939 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I've been feeling like you also. I usually have projects or stuff that I could do. When I'm in a relationship I just don't have the time. You would think being single I'd be super productive. Hasn't been the case. I have been doing this though. Make simple plans for the day and try to get at least that done. It makes me feel better when I accomplish the task. Feel better Link to comment
Chorichori Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 I'm not sure if it's the relationship. I was doing perfectly fine for weeks till after my last exam I just felt so mentally dead and burned out. My days are usually school. Work. Study. Sleep. Repeat. Link to comment
Seymore Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Well, if that's the case, you can't really cut either of those four out. You have no time for anything else? Link to comment
Chorichori Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 Well, if that's the case, you can't really cut either of those four out. You have no time for anything else? If I knew what else to incorporate maybe I could make time for that extra thing. Just don't know if that extra thing would help or just add more stress? Link to comment
Seymore Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 If you had an hour to do whatever you wanted, what would it be? Link to comment
Chorichori Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 If you had an hour to do whatever you wanted, what would it be? Catch up on sleep or just watch a tv show. Which are things I been doing these past few days but just does not seem to be enough to jump start me again Link to comment
