Do you find everything stresses you out so you do nothing

I like the idea of doing things but literally everything is too stressful so i cant even do anything or even enjoy anything which is two separate things i know. I am incredibly stressed everyday and also have no emotions. Im kinda grateful i don’t have emotions but stress is really up there at its peak constantly

I feel you. I spend most of my day playing video games, on my phone, or watching TV.

Yeah im pretty stressed a lot. I avoid seeing people like family due to finding it stressful and a lot of work to just hang out. I can go out and do stuff alone though pretty easily though. Like walk to the shopping centre to get something or whatever. So i guess mine comes from social anxiety.

I do a few dishes, occasionally get a shower
Tidy the bedroom etc but i feel i can’t face anything so i lay on sofa 99% of the time. I phone family occasionally but they can be too stressful
Hubby is the only person i can talk to , i should be grateful i have someone though, some poor sods have noone and i hope it never comes to that

Every year i feel im doing less

Its scary

Have you tried much exposure therapy lately? I feel thats the only real way to get used to doing stuff again.

I was out for an hour with parents on monday and it killed me doing that, can’t cope with anything serious, even more than a bit of music and tv stresses me

My partner does most of the chores, etc. in our relationship, but, for her, that results in the joy of giving, the joy of being kind.

The nerves are tingling in my head and legs

I am the same way. Little things are hard for me. For example, I don’t take a shower enough. I take a shower on average once a week.
