The beautiful weather and spending some time in the fresh air this weekend did help, but now it's Monday and I'm back to feeling blue. Generally speaking, I'd say I'm a rather 'unemotional' person... or at least Tim thinks so. I'm near last to cry at a sad movie or gush over happy/ sad news. I rarely breakdown after a bad day or a bad fight and even when I do, I seem to be super quick to snap back. I don't seem to hold grudges and can't find it in me to stay mad for very long, so why am I so 'stuck' in this bad mood and how do I get past it?
So far the failed plans have been:
- cry it out- no luck
- take out my frustration at the gym- apparently I'm not in good enough shape for this one
- talk to Tim- eh, he tried to understand, but he just wanted to enjoy his time away from work, don't blame him
- sleep- usually a good nap/ sleeping in brings me around, but I tried both and no dice
- watching the beautiful, half-naked men build my deck- OK helped a little :)
Apparently I am just going to have to wait it out, unless someone has a sure-fire cure to SNAP OUT OF IT.
HI Kate~ I like reading your blog from time to time - i share a lot of the same thoughts on the topics you write about. I would say that writing things down helps me "snap out of it". Like, goals or whatever seems to be bugging you. Or an easy fix for me is tanning, or getting my hair done, or completing a project :)
ReplyDeleteHey Jenny,
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you! It makes me smile to know you read my blog :) Hope all is well with little Evie! Thanks for the suggestions too. I have done a little shopping therapy this week and that added to the awesome weather seems to have helped some. I think sometimes being a stay at home mom can be a curse b/ it gives you too much time to mull over all the issues/ problems going on in your life... but over time I am learning ways to work though it :) I do think you are right, I need to start a new project so I have something new to focus on... now what to start (I have a running list, just need to pick one!) Talk to you soon!
Misery loves company. I used to post on message boards quite a bit when I had pregnancy woes. Pregnancy.org has a bunch of different forums (clomid, general infertility, IVF, coping with loss, etc.). Even just reading other people's stories sometimes helped.
