Feeling Sluggish
 

I want to lay in bed and do absolutely nothing. It is raining outside I have some letters I should mail but I seriously do not want to go out and do it because it is wet and cold. I have some chores I said I was going to do and I seriously do not feel like it at all today.
Yep. No motivation on what so ever today. I cooked pancakes and I had some coffee and now I feel good and sleepy. Oh I feel terrible lazy today. I have to kick myself in the pants to do anything I am suppose to these days. :rolleyes:

cold and rainy day
 

I hate when the only thing we seem to have energy for is beating ourselves up.

Seriously, who blames you for staying in - it's yucky out. If the sun comes out tomorrow you can pop your letters in the post and nothing will have been lost.

And you did make pancakes and coffee. On my bad days, I'd eat nothing or, at best, I'd eat the instant mix and coffee granules right out of their respective packages. Yeah, I'm not proud, but I've done that.

Sending sunny thoughts your way...

I agree.... our bodies and minds need sometimes to rest... sleep... relax.... :cool:

Take care !

Dear Sharla
 

I think it's ok that you took it easy today. I know you work hard a lot of the time. Even if you were literally "lazy" as you say, doing that on occasion is just fine. :) But it sounded to me more like just a laid back day where you wanted a break... and went with the flow. You have my blessing! Banish the guilt! ;)

pancakes and coffee ... yummmmmmmmm. Next time, i want an invite, though! :D

Staying was great. But I can not help but to notice that I feel like this all the time. I feel like i have no motivation for anything. I have like stopped doing homework. The only thing I have not stop was working. I am going to force myself to do homework tonight. That is if I do not fall asleep first. But at least I got the kitchen and landry squared away.

Sharla

you have ADD right?
 

i think what you're experiencing is just part of that.

also i'm noticing that you do things... just perhaps not the things that might be priority... if i'm reading between the lines right, homework needs more attention than you are giving it. so that is getting action in sync with priorities. that is also a difficulty for people with ADD.

getting the kitchen and laundry squared away is great... that's productive! ... it seems like motivation or not, you are getting SOMETHING done.

you do need to find a way to get back on top of the homework somehow. forcing myself works for some people, not others... if that works for you that is great. if not, there are other ways....

(i am terrible with self-discipline! :o)

Dear Hockey,

Wow, that sounds like a bad day.
On the other hand, you are resourceful.

I eat lots of foods that require no preparation: store bought hummus, soy yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese and bread, canned soups, banana with cashew butter and honey (trying to add more fruits and veggies.) The best thing is that clean up is easy.

Hubby cooks for us but we eat at different times.
And truthfully, he is high energy so I sometimes I'd rather eat in quiet by myself.

M.

minimal eats
 

PBJ and orange juice.

use a paper towel for a plate. lick the knife clean and reuse for next meal (when living alone, this is not an issue.)

~ waves ~

p.s. PB & Honey is good too. either one on wheat of course.

Wow it is the ADD. I have to like take some Ritalin and I am drinking coffee with it. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee! :D BREAKING THE LAW WOOOOOO.

If this does not kick me in the pant I am getting a red bull! I will do it! well maybe not because I am afraid. lol

Ritalin and coffee will be fine :)

How are you Yellow ??

Did the ritalin/coffe mix helped ?? HOPE SO ! :eek: LOL

Reminds me when I took my prozac with red wine... :o

I couldn't find my ritalin. I cleaned my room that is why:D When my room is messy I know where everything is. But when it is clean I have no idea where anything is. Why is it opposite for me! :rolleyes:

And my right foot falls asleep when I am in bed. How weird is that!

I hope it is nothing. :eek:


Sharla

I remember my step mother drinking wine with her prozac. She gets happy lol! And a lil silly as well. I can not drink with my meds. I am afraid it will kill me.

My friend was on seroquel and she drank 4 cocktail smirnoffs! I was like WHAT?!

And she was also on zanax! I was scared for her!


But she said she was fine! Can you believe it?

ah yes... systematic mess... i do understand!
 

that's an ADD thing too. i have some ADD features...... and that's one of them! :D:rolleyes:

i like to see things tidy... until i try to find something and then it's maddening.

otherwise it's like hmmm.... where's my USB key? oh yeah, i saw it with my kapo under the bed, next to my blue shoe (note singular shoe - not shoes - never both in one place lol)

oh, so logical, right?

ahhhh the pleasures of living alone... no more. :( can't find anything nowadays. it's not exactly tidy but it isn't strewn about the place either. it's all been "pseudo-tidied up" so many times most things are dunno where. :o:rolleyes:

i hope you can find your ritalin. the foot thing sounds like it might just be circulation. wiggle it around. those things happen sometimes. no need to worry unless it keeps happening to the same foot and you have not been sitting with your legs crossed or something all day before laying down.

(((( hugs ))))

my mom might have neuropathy. but her is caused from an accident at work. The managers would not allow my mom to do as what the doctor directed and so she just worse and worse. so now her leg feels like she has been stabbed and cut open through out the day. It is the nerves. they are dieing. that is why she feels such pain. my heart is broken because of it.

Sharla

((( Sharla )))
 

i'm so sorry to hear about your mom's condition. it sounds terrible for her. :( and i can understand being scared about having your foot fall asleep in your situation. is it better today?

:circlelove:

Dear Sharla
 

Hi,
I hope that you have a good day.
We need good days.

Mari

I have been sleeping with my legs crossed! I have no idea why I have been doing that lately.

Sheesh lol
I feel way better now:hug:

I had a good day. I talked to a friend who was not feeling happy and was hard on herself and now she is hanging out with my friends and I. I think she is feeling better now. But then again she can fake happy so easily. She and I baked cookies. I raked the yard today and filled 5 bags of leaves. It was a lot!
My friend who is bipolar 2 was socialable today and gave me lots of hugs. He seemed happy today and that pleases me.

It was a good day
Thank you

LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL Sharla !!! I know what you mean with the clean room... :o

Haha... alcohol and medicines... sometimes is necessary I guess (dont tell your doc...) No, seriously, I think we have to listen and follow doc/meds instructions... but actually, when my doc gave me the prozac, he said "and go to a bar or 2"... :eek: He didnt specify something like "but ask for a lemonade", so, I assumed it was ok to mix red wine with prozac.... :o :rolleyes:

Im so glad to read you had a good day today :hug:
