How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[Lane]

I'm doing better than yesterday. I'm trying to apply for a homeowners rebate and couldn't even find the computer adapter to get started. Things in my house have a way of disappearing and when I ask nobody knows anything.

But today I have the the day off from work so I'm just going to relax, use my gift certificate for a massage and read my book. I hope everyone here's doing as well as possible.

Overwhelmed and lost... however, extremely excited to begin a very busy work week. i am desperate for the distraction.

Why do I always wake up feeling like crap, but then feel a lot better at night? That's weird.

I am exactly the same, have always been a night owl.

I hope you have a great trip!

Thank you Lane!

Yes all of it does Auri. Starting married life in a new country is going to have impacts on you. The brain is signalling all over the place, mapping out what’s going on and making trillions of decisions about what to connect with what. Like starting 20,000 new paintings all at once. Journalling helps a lot - ‘least that’s what I found.
Also having a favourite soft warm well lit nook in which to write, read or have a cup of coffee gives a sense of a tiny home base. 🌱

You are right, thank you. I've heard so many benefits from journaling, but so far it's always been my perfectionist's self nightmare. I struggle with keeping a routine, and if I don't keep up with it, I lose motivation. I do have plenty of notebooks though...

The soft warm spot is my dream! I actually changed my painting spot for the dining room and table this time, and it is surprisingly cozy there, just by the door and window to the garden. The space was only used for boxes and a lot of mess, but now I don't have to move my painting stuff away every evening.

This past weekend we visited my sister-in-law and she has a small living room which she turned into a super cozy hobby room, with a fireplace, musical instruments, bookshelves, artsy stuff, etc. I fell in love and want my own.

Just like this - fuck it all....

Is this your music? It’s very good, and has an excellent production quality.

I’m feeling stupid and worthless. I seem to be beating myself up out of pure spite.

Thanks for your supportive message, Livelife! I agree with you that there's nothing to be done. I've tried my best to address some of the issues, but they go around in circles, and there's always the worry of inflaming the situation or causing repercussions - it's like walking a tightrope! I'm always on tenterhooks with it. I'm sorry you also have to deal with something similar.

Well, playing guitar is one of the things that helps me a lot. Music is great for your feelings. Keeping myself occupied is good - once you are retired all is different. I forget sometimes what day of the week we have.... all is the same. Maybe you like RAP as well:

We can be our worst enemy... Be kind to yourself... try being as kind to yourself as you would be to a close friend. Difficult???? Oh Hell yes! Possible.... also Hell yes! Probable? That's up to you. i wish you would!

Thankyou. And That’s a good way to say it, being on a tightrope…I wish it could diffuse somehow for you, like them moving. Or being taught what a good neighbor actually means.🙃sending you a hug.☺️

i've been doing that a lot more lately, it's not only weird it sucks lol

mike....

i am actually doing pretty good. i'm still fighting this bug i got where i used to live around 5 weeks ago. and pain is still bad, i am having a hard time dealing with those high spikes, and little issues i need to deal with in the senior apartment, and the unpacking, yuk.

but there are always two sides to a coin. the good side is 1. our anxiety and depression are much better, 2. i feel safe and the apartment is clean, 3. my kids all came through for us, and i mean all 3, we are so proud of them

I'm the same. I feel awful in the morning up to mid-afternoon. Then I start feeling better. Strange for sure.

Better each moment

 

[Brit]

Aww, thanks. The hug is much appreciated
I hope your situation can improve, too!

It's curious but I'm the opposite. I often (not always) wake up full of beans but gradually crumble into crapitude as the day progresses. By mid-evening, I want to hibernate and start fantasising about sleeping for a week, except I'm actually a very poor sleeper. I think it must be harder to always wake up feeling like crap, though - I feel for you.
