I'm having another one of those days. I mean i've been in a bit of a slump lately. I just been feeling so down lately and i don't even know why! I feel like crying all the time, i don't wanna do anything, work out, go out. anything!
My DH thinks something is psychologically wrong with me. Lol! I don't know wat it is. Am i the only one who knows wat this is like? Can anybody offer any words of encouragement? Cuz i don't wanna lose it. :-(
 
I think you may need to see a doctor. It doesn't hurt just to get checked out. Doctors pretty much know their stuff. He/she may know what it is, and then you will be on the way for a healthier you.

The idea is to die young as late as possible.
 
You sound slightly depressed. Fish oil is very good for depression, along with L-Tryptophan. The way a person eats makes a huge difference as well.
 
Godiva,I know exactly how you feel! I too have been going through some unusual feelings lately! Im usually a very happy person(well,besides the one or two days a month when the monthly vistor pops in;-)) I know whats causing mine though(DH moved to 2nd shift a work). I did end up going to the doctor about my emotional breakdowns(as i would call them;-)) and he offered me a prescription for an anitidepressant. I haven't started taken them yet though,not sure if i will...trying to handle this by myself first.

If your feeling like this all of a sudden can you think of anything that would have caused it? Try to workout,you'll be surprised how fantastic if feels afterwards:) Maybe going to the doctors isn't a bad idea?

Hugs to you,i know its hard to deal with! I hope you feel better soon:)
 
thanks Amelia. I appreciate that. Thank u to everyone else as well. Now that you mention it, i think i do know what it is. DH just started training at a new gym and it has him working all day as opposed to 7, 8 hrs like he used to and i don't really see him as much anymore. and when i do see him, he's exhausted. I guess i just miss having him to myself. :)

Also, i need a job. Being home all day drives me INSANE!! DH tells me i don't have to work as long as he works, but i can't anymore. I need something to do other than working out. you know? I've worked out so much in the last 4 months, i'm gettn muscles i never knew i had. :D But i need more.

And i believe that has alot to do with it. sometimes it's just nice to hear encouraging words when you're feeling down.
Thanks again guys. ;)
 
Your Welcome and High Fives on the new muscles girl,thats AWESOME and yep,i bet your missing your DH;-)

I forgot to mention last night that i also read alot, kinda gets my mind off it;-)

And i know what you mean about being home all day and it driving you insane! I am a stay at home mom:)
 
Hi Godiva.

I battle these feelings often times as well. I had a spell just yesterday. I was in such a bad mood for hours. It always passes but it's he!! until it does and unfortunately it comes back often.

Sad to say, that this did not start happening to me until I had my son. I love my son to pieces but I think my choice to be a SAHM may have been the wrong one for me. It was okay for a while but I think I have been ready for a change for quite some time now.

I am putting my son in preschool come the fall and hope to get a job working 5 mornings a week (about 20 hours total) while he is in school. I am hoping this will help me. If not I may consider signing him up for before/after care as needed and going back to work FULL time.

I hope you feel better soon!
 
You going to make it, CHOOSE not to be in slump. You can get through this. Sometimes, being down can be caused by diet, hormonal changes, or stress. Take Good Care of Yourself, and think positive.
 
you know, now that you mention it, when i read it does make me feel pretty good as well. it makes me imagine i'm in the story. I love, love, love Anne Rice books. especially her vampire chronicles and witch chronicles. I just finished reading "The Witching Hour". it took me a month to read that book cuz it has over 1000 pages in it. :) Now i have to finish reading the follow up to that book called "Lasher". I like scary books. Stephen King! :D
I think i'll make it my business to finish "Lasher". I think it'll help change my mood.

Thanks Amelia!:*
 
yea i know what you mean Wendy. I was always such a happy and outgoing person. just silly and people loved being around me. but i haven't worked in over a year and i think that i need to find me a job as well, while my son is in school at least. I wanna get a job between the hours of 9 and 2 that way i can be there to get my son from school, and still make it to the gym in the afternoons. And at the same time, i won't feel down from being home all day. I'd feel useful and needed.

Thanks for the encouraging words. I guess i can see i'm not the only one having these feelings. I always thought something was wrong with me for feeling this way, but i see it's normal and it happens to the best of us. And i wish you the best. Hope things work out for you in the job search. ;)
 
Thanks everyone for all the nice and encouraging words you had to offer. It's nice to see there are still people out there with a kind heart. Thank you so much! :*
 
Hey

Just dropping in to say that I totally understand. If these feelings get worse or continue on too long I would check in with a doctor. I think I am a pretty upbeat person for the most part in my daily life but even I get into major depressions which require some help for me. These are moments I definitely don't feel like myself. I only suggest a doctors help if its severely affecting your life and each person has to determine that for themselves. Take heart that all will be well.

Everybody is so great on here!

If you narrow it down to being lonely, how about a pet....maybe a dog to walk, play and cuddle up with!:7
 
>>>I always thought something was wrong with me for feeling this way, but i see it's normal and it happens to the best of us.<<<

OMG you took the words right out of my mouth! I'm not happy you are feeling this way but it is comforting to know that I am not alone. If you ever feel like chatting or venting about anything at all, feel free to email or pm me!:)
 
LOL I realized I took the email icon off my posts but if you ever want to PM me then I'll give my email addy that way.
 
>Everybody is so great on here!

ITA! It's like a big family here! Even when we disagree and sometimes argue it doesn't take long before we kiss, make up and move on. ;)
