    Feeling sad

    Tuesday, December 2, 2008, 08:17 PM [General]

    I go through these mood things from time to time.

    I think the bottom line is, I am just exhausted. I have that heavy feeling under my ribcage that usually preludes depression, but hopefully with a good night sleep I will avoid that road.

    I am kind of just venting here right now. One of my biggest tools in the battle against depression is to talk about it...write about it. Let it out. If I keep it inside it can destroy me. Argh. I wish I could just snap out of it....haha yeah, if it were only that easy.

    Maybe I will start exercising or something. NOW--eh, probably not now.

    Thanks for listening.

    I find that getting my hair done or a new cut can help to be a mood changer...or getting a new interest.



    Talking always helps...and I will say a prayer for you!

    Susan,

    I've struggled as you have for years and just recently my sponsor said something that totally turned around my way of thinking. I don't know if it will help. I'm a direct person and don't sugar coat, nor does my sponsor so I hope you take this in the spirit in which I say it: With love and understanding.



    My dear sponsor said: "You have a knack for labeling every feeling you have, every minute you have them. We're human. We all have feelings. They are consstantly changing and you must be exhausted trying to label all of your feelings as they occur!"



    Or something to that effect. I was taken aback at first but then I realized how RIGHT she was!



    If we go looking for problems we'll find them. Or at least I always do and it seems like I'm constantly looking.......STILL! LOL



    It DOES help to talk about it.......to vent...and I'm there to listen if you ever want to talk. (((((Susan)))))



    I understand the fear and anxiety of a possible impending depression. Keep talking about it and we'll keep listening!



    Much love,

    Jenn

    Sue, I have been feeling the exact same way for the last few days. Just the blahs. No energy, always seem tired although I haven't really done anything to feel so tired about. I am also praying that it will go away after s good nights sleep. And i will pray the same for you now too. Love you, Julie



    My work just opened up our own gym and I know if I go I will feel better. Maybe tomorrow. LOL I'm going to bed now.

    I like what Jenn said...SOmetimes we tend to label things..As humans we try to dig into our brains and figure out why certain feelings surface...I quit that...I cannot control all my thought patterns...Some yes but those others I find a positive side to them and smile and go on...
