Title: So, what do you guys do when ....
Post by Kris_in_SJ on Mar 27th, 2006, 8:02pm
You have a day when you wake up simply feeling depressed for no "real" reason?

Yeah, business could be better, but for some reason today I just woke up sad.  Had to take a nap, couldn't get any work done, didn't want to talk to husband, clients, anyone.  Feeling sorry for myself, and I don't know why!

I'm usually the "eternal optimist."  Can shake off most things, but am sitting here typing this and am *&%&%# crying!!

Would someone please kick me in the butt?  Or perhaps you have a secret way of snapping out of it that you can share.  All suggestions welcome.

Down in the dumps, Kris

Kris - it's not a kick in the pants that you need - it's a hug - so here's one comin' your way!  [smiley=hug.gif]

We all have a day now and then when for now reason at all, we just feel down in the dumps.  

Go make yourself a nice bubble bath - grab a good book - a glass of wine - some candles - and tell the world to Go to Hell for an hour.

Feel better soon.
Carol.

Sorry to hear you are down in the dumps.  When I get that way I usually try to (yea it is hard to motivate) build something or clean up the clutter that I always seem to accumulate.  Gives me something to focus on and the end result is a positive accomplishment.

While it's the opposite of going tough on myself, I take it easy on days like that.  When I wake up feeling totally blah and depressed, sometimes I just stay in bed all day and watch movies.  I don't do this every day, but every once in awhile, it's what I need.  Then I end up turning it into a good thing by making popcorn, eating lots of "feel good" food, and watching my favorite movies.  I do try to get a shower at some point, but most of all, I am NOT tough on myself...because it just makes me feel more guilty and more depressed.

Days like that, I have to be more accepting of myself than usual.  Didn't get the laundry done?  The world isn't going to end.  Never got that shower?  It's okay - I'll get one tomorrow, which is a brand new day...

Hugs from me and try to take it easy on yourself when you feel like that!  We all need a little kindness from time to time - especially from ourselves!

I seek out something to make me smile, a laughing child, a blooming flower or a close friend that I know will lift my spirits...

Smiles heading your way...

I like to get out of my house and take a nice walk back to my old neighborhood. It never fails to cheer me up in a strange sort of way. It looks terrible to me. I'm sure it's not much different but after all this time viewed with my now cynical eye; it looks to me like it was hit with a weaopn of mass destruction.

I know that's a negative but negatives seem to jolt me enough to get me out of a funk.

A cheery old fart I am. http://members.lycos.co.uk/elffster/new1/Olddevilbeer.gif?SSImageQuality=Full

Take a deep breath and then a LONG bubble bath and have a good cry while you're in there.

Some days are like this.

Herbal tea helps some....

It's better than not feelin' anything at all.  ;)

Everybody gets a little blue now and then. But my favorite blue is the color of dawn, cool air and a cup of coffee. It's the closest to feeling as though their is something bigger than me I find out there.

Kris,

I've been there... [smiley=hug.gif]

Usually I read a good book, watch few episodes of my fave comedy Will & Grace or a good movie. Or I write to my diary how I feel, listen to music or watch something good on TV and eat something I like.  Basically, I just relax. :)

Those days come and go, I'm sure that you'll feel better soon. [smiley=hug.gif]

Best wishes,
Sanna

Thanks everyone - for the suggestions and hugs.  Feeling much better today.  I think a really good cry helped more than anything - even though my eyes were all puffy and red this morning.

And - Kevin - loved the pics.  It really did remind me that soon the Lake Michigan permacloud will be gone and I can enjoy the place a live again.

Hugs to all of you,

Kris
