    I've been having a bit of a rough patch recently and worry I may get depressed. Truth be told, I have to acknowledge the shit that's happening to me is nothing compared to a lot of other people, but the fact that it's getting me so down makes me feel even more pathetic.

    I moved house which I'd always imagined would be this big exciting thing, but instead I spend all my time fixing problems/spending money to fix problems, the most of recent of which is a new boiler.

    On top of that my job has been tricky. Basically I will probably lose my job in Feb 2022, which doesn't sound bad on paper and gives me time to find work. But there are very few desirable jobs in my field and I suspect I'll have to resign myself to no career progression until 2024, which knocks back my hopes/plans of family life.

    I also had a big car accident last week which has shaken me quite significantly and asides from costing even more money has left me a bit afraid to drive and makes mobilising/climbing stairs difficult. One of my coping mechanisms of exercise has been ruled out as a result.

    I'm very lucky to have a very supportive other half and family but unfortunately they had a falling out recently regarding something to do with the house which has left me feeling isolated.

    I just feel a bit out of control. I don't really know what I can do. I've tried online CBT previously and didn't find it helpful. I don't know if general feelings of shittiness are a thing I can actually go to talk to someone about.
    I consider myself normally quite a pro active person but its beginning to feel like the more I do, the more goes wrong. Instead there's always the next problem to fix, which inevitably leads to about 3 or 4 new problems.
