Down in another Funk
I'm having a rough time ...overwhelmed and just wanting to hibernate ....or give up.
:(
So tired of struggling....facing so much ahead. It is far easier to just give up and pretend to go with the motions. (For a short time anyway)

my friend, easy does it. I am hibernating too. Taking me time There is nothing wrong with that. Hugs
Sending hugs and prayers. May the Lord give you strength and encouragement.
It sounds like you're having a bad day. Sometimes it's good to take some "me", time..... relax, and go to the beach and feel the gentle breeze blow as if mother nature is consoling you. You would be surprised how much that helps. I highly recommend!
God Bless
Find a quiet spot with no distractions and speak with the Lord.....Just as if you were talking to your best friend...Ask him for advice and open up to Him with the issues that you have....You will find how amazing you will feel afterwards. Meditating is the ONLY thing that I find that keeps me grounded. Without getting into too much religion and If your a believer and even if your not. He is always available for us to talk to, so why not do it.... I Promise you If you do it for seven days straight you will find a big difference in your way that you handle the day to day stress. You will then want to make it a daily happening....
Here if u like to just chat
I can relate to Yorman1's reply. It just takes a little bit of effort to set aside a few minutes every day and forget your problems....better yet, put them in the Hands of someone who will fix them all for you and all that for a few minutes every day to clear your mind and tell that Power greater then all of us, exactly what's bothering you......I can guarantee, you will benefit by doing so!
God Bless
Every time I start compounding all the things I have to get done in the future, I lose my connection with the moment. Because all that worry about future stuff isn't real. Not saying that planning isn't important but make a plan and then let it go and be in the moment. I know we've talked about this.... Clean the whole house, ya right. One thing at a time or it's overwhelming. Making it all too big in your mind is a self defeating exercise. That's when we give up, sit down and hibernate. Keep it so simple, let one task lead to the next. When I'm having days like this I make myself a deal if I have stuff that needs doing. I decide that I won't sit down for a set time, say an hour.... Even if I'm being unfocused I will just start putting away clothes and straightening up. That almost always gets the motivation going to do more, because I can't sit down so might as well.... Go Kim go:)
Kim, I do things when there are commercials on. And before you know it, things are done.
Hugs Kim.
Must be something in the air, I usually love fall but I too have been feeling that way. In fact I have been hibernating or turtling as my friend calls it. I wish I didn't do it but it is one of my many bad coping mechanisms. I agree with the others, try breaking things down. I have several playlists that are about 30-45 min long and I make myself do a task as long as the music is going. I almost always make it through the playlist. Getting up and turning the music on is what can be difficult. Remember to love and forgive yourself. We all get stuck from time to time. Thank goodness I have DS and a good besty to pull me out of the hibernation cave. Hang in there.
