Well Since the holidays are over ..... Which I can say i am glad .. but in a way let down ,,,,, all the work all the hype and BAM OVER ..... yea i am feeling a tad blue ,,, I cant say its full blown depression right now ... working on not letting it get to that point ,,,, But Just wondering if any of you get the same ITS OVER blues ........

I mean I am glad its over I can get my house back to some order ,,,, having OCD and things out of place is a big trigger for me ,,,, I am glad I can finally start that diet ( yea right looking forward to that like a rock thrown at my head ) ..... But it just feels .. I dont know cant put my finger on it ....

It dont help having a damn birthday right dab smack in between.... Stressing over aging whats to look forward to when you are in your mid 40s ,,,, Your 60s ??? I know I should be thankful I have made it this far and I am really ... But can we please cancel Birthdays after the age of ohhhh say 25 !!!and I have to go back to work tommorow and face the lay off thing again with friends I am losing ,,,,,

Yea I am blue fighting the big D just hoping to keep it being blue

I didn't bother getting worked up about it this year so I don't feel that let down. Sort of defeats the purpose,but there you go.

this feeling always hits me square in the face on new years day.... its like i can't change anything that has happened in the past and a little concerned about the future. the thinking of going back to work 2morr is enough to make me sick....

My recommendation would be lots of self medication and total indulgence.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.
