I'm currently working from home, i gym from home, finances are so stretched so we kind of are forced to eat at home and to be honest I'm sick of home. I'm in a rut.
I work full time. Have 2 children.(shared 50/50) and it's like I've lost myself. My weeks are filled with sport for them (even when not in my week)
I feel I have no friends because they're either happily married or super single. I have no common ground with anyone and I'm sick of feeling alone.
Sometimes my anxiety flares up and I don't wanna go out. Even for a coffee with a friend. I hate the way I look and feel. My body image at the moment is so poor.
Don't get me wrong, I'm very grateful for so many things. Second chances don't come around that often and I have been blessed with a great partner. But he works shift work which means I'm alone a lot.
How does one get out of this funk? I use to have a handle on life and now the thought of even waking up to do Groundhog Day every day is killing me.
I have well and truly lost my spark and don't know how to reignite it.

Can you speak to your partner about changing shifts or jobs.? Can’t your ex take them to sport. Force yourself to have coffee with your friend. I’ve been the same as you and the more you avoid it the worse it becomes. Go out and spoil yourself with a new outfit and meet your friend for a cheap lunch or coffee somewhere. Make it a regular thing for coffee. Instead of gym at home, go for a nice walk with a Friend. Just anything to change each day. It’s upto you to change your scenery or you can do what I did and move to a new state or are. New job, new people, new beginings it’s the best feeling ever and I won’t look back. Happiness to me is everything. I made that move because I know I needed to.
