Not having a great day

I am not having a great day and I have no idea why.  I just feel very sad and grumpy and I don't have a clue why that would be.  All day I've just felt like crying.  Now I'm starting to feel like eating.  I know I'm not physically hungry because I've had everything I need so far today, but boy I could eat anything that isn't nailed down.

The only possible thing I can think of is that I had to stop taking one of the meds that I take for my arthritis.  I don't think that would do it, but who knows.  I guess it could also be all the toxic hormones and stuff that get released as we burn fat.  I would love to just curl up in bed with a good book and a cup of tea, but that's not happening.  DH would have issues with it and make me feel guilty.

I just hope this passes soon.  I don't want to give into the eating urges.  I also don't like feeling so un-motivated.  I had so much stuff that I needed to do today, but I just put it off because I just didn't feel like doing much.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Sorry, Wendy. Hope tomorrow's better for you. We all have days like this... darned humans!

Wendy, I know exactly how you feel. It could be many things that cause depression...PMS, horomone imbalance, medications, the weather. I too felt as if I wasted my day today, but I've learned that some days should be used as a "nothing" day. A day when nothing is expected and I can just recooperate. But if your depression doesn't subside, worsens or you feel like hurting yourself, get medical help fast. Chemical imbalances could be the cause and should be treated the same as any other medical emergency.

Hang in there Wendy . ((((()))) vent any time

Wendy,

I'm sorry you feel so lousy. It could be due to all the things you've mentioned, or a combination, or the position of the moon in the sky...For me, knowing the "why" doesn't always make me feel better, though if you have more lousy days than OK days for a week or so, you should definitely talk to your doctor about it.

In the meantime, what can you do to make yourself feel better? I think curling up in bed with a good book and cup of tea is a great idea, and I don't understand why your husband would disapprove of it, but what else could you do? Call a friend or relative you haven't talked to in a while? Hug a child/cat/dog/elderly person? Do you like cute animals? A visit to cuteoverload.com, which is overflowing with cute critters and funny captions, always cheers me up.

Take care,
Jean

Feel better soon.

I have these occasionally, too. Sometimes there is just no real reason. The best thing I can do for myself is to recognize that the things I think and feel are temporary. In fact I label them as "not real". It helps me to see that life will not always be this way, in fact often I wake up the next day feeling "sunny". Do I always approch times like these with this attitude? No, nor do I always come out unscathed, eating wise, but those times I do come out the other side with no lasting effects strengthen me for the next time it hits. If I have not fared so well I try to use it as a learning tool.

I will be praying for you, Sue

Forget the guilt. Ignore the husband! Do it!

Could you have PMS or be ovulating ? I now not only have the period BEFORE my period to watch out for but a day os so mid cycle when I ovulate.Weird huh?  But yeah it is like a day or day and a half of PMS right in the middle of my cycle.  Hang in there and go for the book in the bed thing if you need too I would! :)

my advise is simple: Put Wendy FIRST!
Hope you feel happy soon
