Saturday morning, feeling so lonely today. Hardly slept and woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep. Just been in bed all morning on my phone wishing I had someone to talk to. I have no energy or motivation at all. My family is awake and I should be up but it's such a struggle.

I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling so lonely today, especially after such a rough night of sleep. That can make everything feel so much heavier and harder to face.
It makes sense that getting up feels like a struggle when you’re feeling this low and tired. You’re not alone in feeling this way, and I’m really glad you reached out and shared it here.
Sometimes it can help to take small steps at a time, like moving your legs or sitting up slowly. I hope things feel a little gentler for you as the day goes on @Whaledone1234

Hello @Whaledone1234
I completely understand that and telling you that "I completely understand" is little comfort.
Loneliness can be debilitating especially if we are not sleeping well.
Try to put aside the darkness and find a little light. Even take joy in a quick wash. I'm about to give it a go.
Be kind to yourself dear forum friend 🐋

@Taali @Nala2022 thank you for your thoughtful replies. It always helps knowing that there are others out there who are going through or have gone through the same thing. I ended up having a pretty good weekend.
Feeling a bit better. Have some doctors and psychologist appointments this week so that always helps me reset a bit.
Thank you.
