Ask Jigsaw: Constantly feeling miserable

Monday, 15 March 2021

New year and nothing has changed it’s still just constantly feeling miserable. I don’t have it in me to ask for help and it’s only getting darker help

-I Want Help

Hi I Want Help,

I’m sorry that you feel this bad at the moment. A new year can bring hope for change or fresh starts. Often though, nothing changes from December 31^st to January 1^st, which can feel disappointing or disheartening.

Asking for help

You said that you don’t have it in you to ask for help. Reaching out can be a daunting prospect for sure, but you deserve support with what you’re going through. By reaching out to us with your question, you’ve taken a brave first step. Well done.

This article about asking for help has some useful information that may make talking to someone a little more manageable. I understand that some forms of support may feel more comfortable than others.
