Feeling down today...

Terri, Thanks for the suggestion. I think I will get out and walk later. I love to do that outside. I am sorry you are having a difficult time too. You have many things going on right now. My little saga is from days of keeping stuff in, and building up. But, they are all little things and I know that. I am so grateful for my life, and for the opportunities already coming that surgery has given me. I almost feel silly now posting that. I sound like such a whiner... But, it did help. You take care too. Anne

Anne, I finally got a chance to sign on today and your post was the first one I read. I've been in a funk for weeks! I've been trying to beat it by just acting "as if" it's all ok. But then I find my intolerance creeps in and that spills into every aspect of my life. I find rude people intolerable, and I feel it actually boil inside me. But then I remind myself to act as if then I am ok. Venting does help, but truly, I do understand. Plus then after I vent I feel guilty because there is so much for me to be grateful for. It's a vicious cycle. This is why I haven't been posting much lately. This funk has just been a cloud. And yes, I am on antidepressants and so on. It just happens sometimes. I of course chalk it up to hormones and the fact I am turning 49 next week! lol Hang in there and never ever feel silly because see? You helped me. Now I know I am not alone. love Cheryl

Anne, Huging you tight. You know we all are wishing we could be right there to really hug you and to sit and talk. These days suck and they pass..thank goodness but during them it is hard. I think I would go see a councelor or find a good friend and talk..and talk and talk. I think it is always good to have a second outlook during these times. Afterall, You have been through a life changing event and with that comes a different set of expectations and issues. I am praying for you..hugs you flat.. Pattie

Anne, Vent away girlfriend! I feel your pain! I was sailing along and then, as everyone has had to hear 100 times, my Jamaica vaca. got cancelled! So now I have this long (b'day) weekend, and no specific plans..but I have 1,000 things to do...just not what I wanted to do. So take a deeeeeeeeeeeeeep breath, and think about where you were weightwise a yr ago, and that will make u smile. This new life is great most days, but there are days that just get ya down...YOU ARE NORMAL. big hugs your way! xoxoxo JA
