Anyone else feel bored and Lost?

[faireygod mother]

I wonder if it is becasue of this time of year. I find myself checking the boards several time an hour. I am bored out of my mind and sadly I have work to do. I feel like I am looking for something. I do not know what. I feel lost.

Am I the only one? Maybe it is this awful weather. Fisrt it is freezing cold, getting ready for the winter holiday. Then, it is warm, like the early fall. Now, it is dark and rainey, like late winter.

I need to win the lottery so I can go to WDW when it gets like this.

I used to be like that every winter. I had no energy, didn't feel like doing anything, didn't want to come out of the house and didn't even open the blinds. As soon as spring came, my mood improved.

After some other issues prompted me to go on an antidepressant, that all changed. I still don't like winter and can't wait til DH retires so we can move to FL, but I feel like my normal self. I realized that all those years I had winter depression.

One of the things I've read about it is to make sure there is plenty of light in your house. Don't know if it helps because I never tried it when I was feeling that way.

You've described my mood today perfectly. For me, maybe I'm just bitter that I had a bad weekend...you know, no rest, everything went wrong, fell behind in Christmas work, etc. Just can't find interest or motivation in anything.

Here's hopin' tomorrow is better.

Try God, FairyGOD Mother. I'll say a prayer for you too.

PS I'm also from NY! Bethpage. How about you?

I can totally relate faireygod mother! I too get like this in the winter and that's why I desperately want to move to Florida. We just got back on Sunday from 10 glorious days in Disney and yes I realize it was vacation but the weather was terrific! 70's and sunny. We spent 2 of those days in Celebration and I was dreaming of living and working there. We came home to snow showers, dark Gotham City like days, dead trees and crunchy brown dead grass. I just feel blah and lost is a great way to describe how I feel and I too have been to the boards several times today when I really need to get unpacking and all of the suitcases out of the living room.

I get like this every year but this year it is really bad. I don't even care about Christmas this year and I don't care if the decorations get up. Today is my 8th Anniversary and my DH wants to take me out and I don't even care if I go.
So part of it is I know I get like this every winter but this year I lost two of my grandparents (whom I was very close to both) in 5 months time and went through a failed adoption. Like Jimmy Buffet says, I am so ready for some changes in Latitude and some changes in attitude.

Hang in there, you're not alone.

 

[Rajah]

Yep, you're not alone. I'm feeling the same way.

Fortheloveofdisney. Congrats on your anniversary. The fact that you made it 8 years, now a days, is something to celebrate. I am sorry about your loss. The holidays does seem to intensify the longing for a hug or conversation with a loved one who is gone.

Imgonnabe40...Found him years ago, have no plans on losing him now. Regretful that you would assume I had not found him. I did not mean to imply that I was spiritually lost, only emotionally.

Kellnot.. Is it tomorrow yet

Bashful2. good for you. Half of my clients are in denial. Recognizing there is a problem is half the battle, doing something about it is the rest. I wish my problem was clinical, I envy you and wish you the best.

Thanks all for responding. I do not feel alone with this dark rainy day blah mood. I should just close my idea and dream of warm sunny days at castaway cay or WDW, but being there would certainly make me feel better.

I know this won't help with the depression part -but sometimes when I have some work to do that does not involve reading or heavy concentration(say housework). It really helps for me to listen to a book on tape at the same time. It makes a tedious chore go by quicker and helps me with feelings of boredom and restlessness.

 

[Planogirl]

I am lost right now so I can relate.

I'm having a miserable time finding a job and our financial state is deteriorating badly. It's a horrible time of year to be broke, that's for sure. To be honest, I was crying a little while ago and I never do that.

Hang in there, I'm sure that your blue mood will pass.

 

[Belle0101]

I thought I was the only person feeling like this.

Today I'm really really crabby but then I also feel like crying. Weird.

I think it's got to do with winter too. I detest winter / snow / ice / cold temps. / scraping car windows / having to bundle up / wearing long sleeves and pants ...

We already decided that when DH retires we'll be off to Florida. Let's see he's 44, so that's what? At least 21 more years of

We haven't even started Christmas shopping. The tree is up but only because the kids did it, otherwise I'd have left it in the attic.

We're in Indiana so about 5:30 it's already dark out. Not to mention cold, lake effect snow ...

Bah humbug!

 

[Marseeya]

OP, you're not alone.

I feel lost for different reasons. I'm in finals week for school and there just aren't enough hours in the day to do everything I need to do. Plus I feel like I'm neglecting the family and house. I just want to take a nap and not wake up until Christmas is over.

 

[faireygod mother]

It does not help that merchants start Christmas decorating before Halloween. No wonder we are all confused, our emotions have been played with for at least 45 days already.

I know tomorrow will be a better day (fingers crossed).

Well I am not getting anything done here at work, so I better focus.

I hope everyone has a great night and a better tomorrow.

I feel like Annie and should break out in song....The sun will come out tomorrow bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow is only a day a way. LOL

Gosh I needed that. Do you all have a visual of my dancing around the office singing and dancing (with a broken foot). Glad the office is closed.
