I've had morning anxiety for a while. It meant that when I woke up, I had these terrible depressing thoughts running in my mind, and I couldn't get out of that circle of thought. I couldn't get out of bed, and could stay in that mood for hours. I knew that once I got out of bed that it would be over, but I just couldn't do that and wanted to stay there forever. I got out of bed for work, but in the weekends I could waste half a day like that. Turns out that somehow I had stomache or belly tensions (probably caused by overweight). When I figured that out, the problem was solved immediately. Now I wake up, feel that tension, go to the toilet, have some water and let my belly relax for a moment (google for high vs low breathing). I go back to bed and have some sleep. (NB: If this is anxiety, I don't say that this will work for you, but who knows!) Alternatively, you may be depressed or you sound like that. Find a good therapist to get things clear. Therapies nowadays can be very focused, so it's not about endless talking about vague feelings. If you don't want to say that you have a depression, say that you feel depressed, or that you have decided to go into therapy to find out what is going on. You have the money and the time! Meditation, dancing, theater sports, book club, fitness, yoga can be therapeutic as well. If you really have a depression, these won't solve that problem, but they make things lighter and life more enjoyable. Stop working from home. Go to one of those places or bars where people work all day, rent an office for a day, so you meet people. It seems like your lonely maybe? Hire someone or partner up with someone. Having a (business) partner and working from the same place daily will make things more enjoyable. |
