What do you do when you wake up feeling overwhelmed? I woke up this morning feeling that way and started crying within 15 or 20 minutes. It feels like it's going to be a long day. (sigh)

I seem to wake up like this when I have nothing to do but when I have a full day I feel great

I have always been told to just pick one thing do it and then be damned proud of yourself for that...

Best wishes, my dear.

Be KIND to yourself, if you can, allow yourself a 'sick' day, stay warm, watch some good movies and get through the day in the best way you can! I hate those days, but they do end, just take it easy.

hope it passes soon.

the day will be behind you soon. do what you can do, and know you're not alone.

I cry or go back to sleep avoidance is the best option sometimes.

I try to have one thing to do for the day. Example today I am washing my bedding and blankets from the living room. Yesterday it was to grocery shop. Tommorow is to vaccuum. Oh I am a at home mom too so I cook, clean, homework, run kids to everything.. So when they are at school I kick in with my own day a thing list and I do feel better saying that I did do one thing today.

All is nnot lost, sit down with a cup of coffee/tea and write down everything that needs to be done. Be explanative if something involo(ving). Then prioritize the list and if so inncline rewrite it.

The eat a good breakfast and start on the first thing

.Pace yourself and make sure you eat somethhing at 4pm like a bannana or a protein bar. When evenong comes you have done what you can have done.

Dear auntfeather,
I find sometimes a nice brisk walk picks up my spirits and helps me get my thoughts in perspective.

deleted_user 12/07/2007

Remember you are in control. Relax It will pass. Is going to be a great day. God bless you.

deleted_user 12/07/2007

I call in sick to work and just totally relax. I remind myself that the world won't come to an end, if I take a "me" day. Just totally relax today, and forget about everything you have to do. It can all wait until tomorrow. Do something you enjoy today...maybe go for a walk, go shopping, watch a movie...just anything you feel like doing. This day is just about you.

deleted_user 12/07/2007

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
