Unexpected breakup because I didn't realize how unsupportive my fiancé was until I started to become overcome with work related stress(office politics really, not the work itself, death of a relative, typical family drama like who's not talking to who, etc. yet I helped him through tough stages in his own life. Needless to say, I was really disappointed in him. I made it clear I would not allow my self to get dragged into problems I have zero to do with. And I won't let people to "just get over" my sister's death. She was only 34 and was anAccident so unexpected too. I'm dealing with that and trying not to take anything for granted. My problem is, I'm kind of nervous about leaving the house. I feel better just being in pjs and it's extremely hard to get motivated for work. I work from home so it's really hard. Tried therapy for a while and got no where. Delegating tasks have been helpful but it's so hard getting family to help me. I've even tried paying but can't afford much . I think id get better results w a stranger but can't afford it. Years ago this was my dreamJob! Sleeping til 8 and working on my laptop from a little cafe and drinking coffee. I can barely leave my bed. About 2 months ago, I didn't sleep for several days. I maybe got 2-3 hours of sleep a night. If that. I got a physical, saw 2 therapists and even resorted to psychiatry. Nothing has worked yet. Does anyone please have any suggestions? Thank you Reply to this Question Share |

I'm sorry for what you're going through right now.
I recommend continuing to see the therapist and psychiatrist in order to rule out any underlying mental health issues.
I also recommend eating healthy, daily exercise to boost your mood and get you out of bed, and consistently getting a good night's sleep (if possible).
