Topic: What do I do ? | |
---|---|
Hey guys here is the story. I've been separated for 7 months and most of the time I'm ok but with the holidays here I'm not so ok with it all at all. It kinda took me by suprise today. Usually I have a hip pocket or two full when I feel good and can find more when needed but the stash is empty today.Got any good ideas to break this funk? My usual isn't working....

Yeah, just pretend you are happy. Sometimes it works!

I cried myself to sleep last night, not sure where the tears came from... maybe Christmas past??

Hang out with someone who makes you laugh your @$$ off. It always works.

I think its ok to remember better times. It puts things into perspective a bit. But I know it still hurts!

Read about a few others in the news to see that your not alone in this.
I had the same thing happen to me today. So I just told myself to be okay with a down day....and at the same time reminded myself that I'm alive for a reason....... So tonight I'm relaxed and taking it easy.... Not worrying and looking forward to a football game tomorrow. Best of luck, J |

I cried myself to sleep last night, not sure where the tears came from... maybe Christmas past?? Not true! However, it shouldn't be consistently everyday or ruining what life you could have. Don't worry about being human. Just enjoy that you have some time to learn something new like guitar or a language. Or go out and make someone else happy. It usually makes one feel better that there are connections like these. |

Well I guess 7 months isn't enough time to put any distance between. after all this is my first holiday season alone and
it was a 23 year relationship. Just most days are much better than this. |

i broke down today too. Tuesday will be one year since i've seen my nephews. I miss them a lot, kinda sucks that I lost half my family cause of divorce, but I guess life happens whether you like it or not. We all will make it through, just gonna be hard!

i've heard danceing naked in front of your dog or other family pet will perk ya up... not the act upon itself, but while doing it you look at their faces... u can tell their laughign at you, but the jokes on them cause they can't talk :D...
i actually had a psychology teacher tell me that once lmfao, of course the punch line of his story, he later told us is his dog was actually blind,... tell me someone's heard that joke. |

hey guys didn't mean to sound whinny. But sometimes in the thick of it all you forget things that you know to be right and true and I thank you all for the time you took to respond to me and remind me of these things. It put a little amo back in my pocket. I dont usually get into the forums, much less put out a question for help but this seems like a good place to visit more than I do. Thanks...

I don't know if this will work for you, but it worked for me: I was feeling really down the other day and I watched a really depressing documentary and it really gave me perspective. It was an inherently sad movie to watch, but having to face other, bigger problems helped me realize that my rough patch would pass and that I still had a lot going for me. |
