Can't Seem to Lift This Bad Mood!

**thriftstorequeen** · 11-14-2007, 05:26 PM

The change of life. What fun! I've been so sad for the last few days. I can't seem to shake it. After hubby leaves for work I try to get busy but I end up on here or in front of the TV. My best friend sent me this beautiful card and had no idea I was like this. I'm having a hard time calling her back to tell her how much I needed to hear from her. I'm thinking I'll burst into tears. I'm a very happy, upbeat person so this is not me. I just want to get in bed and pull the covers over my head. Please keep me in your prayers. Sorry, I don't mean to bring anyone else down.

I understand, I have days like that when I just want the whole world to go away, far, far, far away, mine are linked to PMS.

Hugs to you, have some chocolate

Usually helps me a bit.

I agree with frugalfarmwife about the chocolate.

Be good to yourself when you feel this way. And if it continues, talk with your doctor.

It WILL get better, I promise.

I feel that I've been struggling with my moods lately, too. I can't stand this perimenopause business! What I do is to try to walk for at least 30 minutes a day. It REALLY helps me feel better. Not permanantly, of course, but it does help for a while.

HAng in there, chocolate was right on my list too. I try to ride my bike or find some kind of exercise. And instead of sitting in front of tv. go sit outside in the sun.. couldnt hurt. you are in my prayers also. just remember that we are still here. Dont mind listening..

Sending hugs your way. I am having really bad PMS this week. I know I have been in a bad mood the last few days because my hormones are all out of whack. I am very on edge, people tick me off easily this week and I feel like I should wear a sign to discourage people from approaching me. LOL I am trying to do things I enjoy when I get home from work to pamper myself: reading a good book, taking a bath, having some chocolate or ice cream.

Thanks Everyone! Chocolate is a great idea! That wonderful hubby of mine keeps me in dark chocolate. He just gave me a new bar! Maybe I'll make sure I go to Curves tommorow too! You guys brought tears to my eyes for showing that you care and that you've been there. I love this place. I'm so glad my daughter told me about it. God Bless you all!

Hey - I'll keep you company! I seem to be on an emotional roller coaster lately, and don't know to what extent it is hormonal vs stress-induced from some other truly enjoyable (sarcasm) events going on. Someone suggested green tea, and it does seem to help. A cup now and then does not seem to make any difference, but drinking it or taking supplements routinely does seem to do so after a week or so. Hope you feel better. Sometimes it may help just to know you are not alone.

I have alot of days like that, more often now than before, I mean it does go away if that helps

You just have to find something to do and keep yourself busy.

Hi! My mood has improved some. I'm trying to keep busy. I went out with my daughters this past weekend. I came home and my wonderful hubby had made me homemade chocolate coverd cherries. Now this is from a guy who never cooks! They are so good!!! As a matter of fact I think I'll go get one. Hope your day has been good!

I'm with Pip, get outside & go for a walk. It's amazing what it'll do for you! Even if it's raining, cold, windy whatever. Just dress appropriately & get out there! Breathe the air, look around, find the good in all you see.
Glad your feeling better but the above advice is good for all, everyday.
