Life in Slow Motion


Remember how I thought I would have snapped out of my little zombie slump by today? Well, no such luck. I'm still feeling off; not sick per se, but definitely not well. I think a trip to the doctor is in order.

What do you do when you're not feeling quite right? When you just don't feel like you, for no apparent reason?

good question. i have these days, for sure. i hope for sunshine and make myself walk around the city- just to be around a bunch of hustle. that helps me. plus, it's better for me than ho-hos. :)
I write on my blog when I´m sad, or I just lay in my bed and listen to the music or read or both - for feeling better, I just talk to my sister, who can make me laugh in a second :-)
Btw., are you from Australia? You wrote about Sydney and autumn...here in mjiddle of Europe (I´m from a piece of land called Slovakia), it´s spring, but it´s raining and raining...don´t like that, actually it makes me feel like if it wasn´t me...:-/
Hmm...well if I'm trying to get over a cold or something, I just drink a lot of tea and spend a lot of time watching a lot of movies on the couch! lol
Beautiful picture!!! Just wanted to let you know that I have added your button to my blog- I'm a fan :)
I would go to the doctor - just to rule everything out. Sometimes anxiety or depression present in strange ways - and of course you want to rule out all the other things.

Sometimes I just push through. I don't feel I have much of a choice given the busy-ness of my life. Other times I take a step back ( a couple of days of vacation, if available). I also zone at work. To the best of my ability I try not to take things on mentally.

Oh, and I walk.
On depressing days, I always pull out my favorite book or movie that makes me feel like a superhero! I'm sorry you're in a funk. I pray for better days for us all.
On depressing days I read myself, sometimes from the beginning, sometimes in the middle, ran-dumb-ly choosing, where? there ... where?? there!!!, but rarely the new stuff. The newstuphph is where I currently am or maybe don't need to be, sometimes and don't want to be. Then I think back to the thought process that created that long lost silliness or the events leading up to it, and smile. Rinse, repeat. But lately my approach is to read my list of new stuff from other people's blogs, my fav peeps, here and there, places like here.
Chocolate, watching a comedy movie to cheer me up, read a lot and since a got a kitty, cuddling her :D

mwah!!

Good idea Sarah, I definitely have a few happy movies that I can drag off the shelves and watch again...I haven't watched Zoolander in at least a few months :D
good question! I've been not quite right for a long time. I'm finally learning to ask for help instead of trying to bully myself to snap out of it. Be gentle on yourself!

Jane, it was your post that finally encouraged me to put it out there and start talking about it, both on here and in every day life. All my attempts to bully myself out of it failed dismally, so onto phase 2. Fingers crossed it's a little more successful for both of us!
