Bad day today

Annita

I'm having a real bad day today. I can't get up at all to do anything. I feel frozen and have no desire for anything. I have been in bed sleeping all day just to escape reality. 


I take meds for my condition and they seem to help, but I have been having really hard days. I was out and about yesterday getting air and exercise but today...there was no way.


I've been crying and sleeping. I don't know what to do to get out of this feeling.


I try to  be positive and try to keep my mind busy, but the days I feel this bad I grind to an aching halt.

Maybe we just need to take a day off every now and then to rest and escape. My suggestion is that you don’t beat yourself up over it. Anxiety is a difficult beast to slay. It won’t get done in a day. Cut yourself some slack.

We all have bad days, don’t be ashamed of them.

Recharge and relax. Take advantage of the bad days and use them to your advantage.

Strategize and attack that anxiety. I’m trying to take my own advice lol.

Best of luck! Peace, love, happiness, and blessings to you!

Hi Annita,

I'm sorry you're having a tough time. I can imagine going through your divorce is difficult for you and it's okay to just take some "me" time, and like what's been said above - relax and take it easy, and don't demand too much from yourself. Get some rest. Tomorrow is a new day. Maybe you will feel like getting outside soon and that will help, too.

You won't always feel like this. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

A rest day is necessary. You have to give your mind and body a chance to recover from all the balancing in a challenging time!

I think something I’ve learned is to not push myself too hard with exercise as to be completely depleted the following day. I’ve learned it’s important to take things perhaps a little slower sometimes. Listening to our bodies really helps us set up to try and keep balanced. I would pay attention to this week and how you’re feeling for clues on how to manage your body in the future. It’s a process to learn ourselves and our bodies. I hope this helps. I could be totally off… I know I haven’t worked out in weeks but I’ve been doing better mentally. I don’t want to push myself too hard.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
