Is it normal to go through this?

Since l lost my job 5 months ago, l've barely left the house. I've gained 15 lbs, and none of my clothes fit me. I have no motivation. I always make up excuses lm sick etc.
I don't feel like being around anyone. Anyone gone through this?

    Normal if you're depressed. Get some help ASAP

    You sound to be depressed and you need to lift yourself up and move on. We all at one time in our lives run into a wall. It's how you work through it that makes a person. You have to stop feeling sorry for yourself and move on. Look, once you get another job and start feeling good about yourself, you'll most likely learn from what had happened to you. Just move on, keep pushing!

    I went through the exact same thing when I lost my job, accept I lost weight. I was under so much stress and didn't realize it. I never wanted to go anywhere or do anything or see anyone. I didn't want to see anyone cus I was so embarrassed, the only way your going to get through this is force yourself to get moving. I actually saw a therapist and he really helped me, I feel like my self again. it's really rough I'm sorry you're going through this too

    Lose some weight mate. Get healthy again and try to rejoin society. Do you love with your mum or something? How do afford rent or your bills with no job for five months?
