YESSSSS~~~~~!!!!!

I keep telling myself its not depression, its the long, cold, snowy boring winter. I work, then catch up on my rest on the weekend, get a few things done, or not. Then start all over again.

My mother taught me a long time ago that there is always someone worse off than you. Gosh, I just have to come on this board to know that. AND my DH died unexpectedly and when I dont miss him I am angry at him. I am ok, then I am not ok. BUT in the long run, spiritually I know I am on a plateau. When the SPRING truly comes, I will appreciate life.. and all will be well again.

MANY HUGS AND HEALING THOUGHTS BE YOURS...

Warmly Jan

Winter really will get you down!

And summer when it is so hot and you are confined inside....

CABIN FEVER!!!!!!!!

You're not the only one. I also feel this way too, more often than I would like.

Hang in there!

I've felt blah...crappy, just plain wore out the last few days, but today was the worst! It's not the weather, it's beautiful here, sunny and in the 70's. Woke up this morning feeling like I'd been run over by a truck. Feet feeling like cement blocks and hurting everywhere! Ended up sleeping most of the day. Now I feel guilty for wasting a beautiful day with my dh off work. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Gonna get to bed now...sweet dreams everyone.

I hope y'all wake up with a big smile and feeling great!

OH Ewiz...as several others have already told you......YOUR NOT ALONE MY FRIEND!!!

I ususally can muster the energy on the weekends when DH is home cuz I just enjoy doing things with him....but today...this weekend.....I just cant .....between lack of sleep, no bm's, and the spasticity thats over comming my body right now....I dont give a s*** about anything....cant get my mind wrapped around even making me some toast.......it sucks..........
I do have a couple things comming up this month that I am excited about...and when that time gets here I will hopefully have it under control....
but as for today...I feel useless, worthless and could really care less about anything to be honest...........

sleeping pill+pain pill and go back to bed....sounds like a plan to me.......
I hate winter..............and I know that has alot to do with it....the cold weather is kickin my butt.........
BRING ON THE SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs to all...and dont let my whinning and negative attidude cauze you any foul mood.....just remember.....most of the time I am a happy go lucky kinda gal.......

THIS TO SHALL PASS...........

How strange life can be, Wiz. At 9:00 I would have said, "Yes, definitely!" That changed at 9:01 and I am filled with relief and joy and have a new outlook. The weather here is about as nasty as it gets, 2° and whiteouts with 35mph winds and I just don't care anymore. I'll be praying for you, my friend, this time of year can be so overwhelming in all the wrong ways.

It's amazing, my body is the worst it's ever been and my doc says not to expect any improvements. I'm actually shopping for an assisted living situation now, but I can't let it get me down. This is the hand I was dealt so I either have to play it or fold.

I've felt this way - but it usually doesn't last long. There have been a few days when I never changed out of my nightgown - just took a shower and put it right back on. Thinking back those were cold, rainy days. But I typically like that kind of weather just as much as I like the sunny weather.

Since I have begun working from home it has helped SO much with my fatigue. I no longer have to get up and be ready to go within a certain time frame. I think this has helped with my overall outlook, too. I can remember when I worked full time in the office I was dragging my butt everywhere I went.

WOW Wiz! You nailed it! Ever since I got home from DD's, I cannot motivate myself to do much of anything. I don't work outside the home, but I couldn't even imagine dragging my tail out to work right now.

I think alot of my problem is the ever changing weather. It can change 30 degrees in one day. It's tormenting my body something fierce. I think we are all ready for Spring. I'm glad you started this thread; it makes me feel like I'm not alone in feeling BLAH. But, my DS told me yest, when I was complaining... that I have been very negative lately and need to be more positive. I needed to hear that.

Take care Wiz.... rest when you can, and who knows?? Maybe we'll lunch again in the Spring. I'll bet I can find a worthy lunch partner, too.

(Good attitude Cin~~ With all your struggles, you still push forward and get through the rough times.) Maybe, just maybe, I'll learn that too.

I feel for you Wiz and everyone else with the "Blahs" right now. Me too I'm afraid, but I can't even blame the weather seeing as it's summer here!



This has been me over the past few days, and if I don't go get dressed (it's 9:50am) then it'll one more day to add to the list. I'm not blamimg fatigue this time, just a heap of health issues and some family carp that has left me in the dolrums.

Today's another day, and I just have to try and put some of my concerns on the backburner for a while. Smile Koala, and give us all a hug.

Me, too!

I just call it a touch of cabin fever, some winter 'blahs'. This season seems tougher as I'm trying to make some momentous decisions in my life....it's not helping the blahs! I've been waffling between, anger, irritability and guilt. I know springtime will be here sooner than later, and the fresh air and getting outside will help me overcome most of this.

Just wanted to post and reply and tell you that I completely understand. It's also almost 3pm and this seems to be the time of day lately where I just want to crash!
