Do you ever just feel sad?

[Mermaid02]

This isn't a play for sympathy.... really it isn't. I'm just wondering if anyone else feels this way sometimes. I have no reason to feel sad really. I wanted to take advantage of the FairyTale package Disney is offering this fall.... but my dh just says, "We owe $4000 for your student loans and blah blah blah." and it just made me really down. I feel kind of like I need SOMETHING to look forward to ya know? I don't know, I feel like when I want to do something, It's impractical or maybe even stupid. Just a vent here I guess.

 

[caitycaity]

yep -- all the time.

 

[browneyes]

Yeah, I have some days when I have felt sad for no reason.

Being told no about a trip for Disney IS a reason though. I hope your DH realizes y'all need to go.

I know how you feel!! I try to be positive and look on the bright side but some days it is really hard. I hate living so far away from my family but right now this is where DH has a job. I try to count my blessings but it is not always easy! Well, gotta go make beds now, try to have a good day...Lacee

Well, we owe quiet a bit on student loans ourselves. One thing though didn't you go to nursing school? Well, if you did there is a bill in congress now that will forgive student loans taken out by nursing students (becasue of the shortage). The loans must have been taken out after 1998.

Also, this is how I think: If you were sick, and wanted to go to WDW would your husband say yes then? Life is to short to worry about $4000. that may be forgiven anyway. If your bills are paid, and there is food on your table. You have some $$$ in your pocket, then my God enjoy life.

He's a grump.

I was sad before, but the NO DISNEY thing (especially when I know it's a great deal) sent me over the edge. I've spent so much time on school this year and such I thought it would be nice. School is ALMOST done, I shouldn't be sad. I should be happy, but I just feel BLAH.

There are days when little things add up to make me sad....then there are days where the big things make me sad. Currently it is the big things like a job and family planning. {{{HUGS}}} to you and may you day get better! Focus on the positive.

 

[Mermaid02]

No nursing school for me- I'm not that smart. EEK at the thought!! What you said about life being short is true though isn't it? Food for thought.

Mermaid02..........
I posted a similar thread yesterday! Reading your words really echoed my own thoughts these days! I'm turning the big 3-0 this fall and I wanted dh and I to go on a trip to celebrate (or take my mind off it!! ) but he has said that we absolutely cannot afford it and he proceded to list all the reasons why. The thing is - he's probably right. He's always so logical that sometimes I want to strangle him! LOL We did just get back from Disney 3 weeks ago too so I feel like a selfish brat wanting to go on a trip in October. *sigh* But like you, I thrive on having something to look forward to but it's just not in our finances right now.

When you do finish school (early congrats on that!!), try to do something special for yourself whether it be a day at the spa or a special evening with friends. Maybe even that little anticipation will help! If all else fails, continue to come here. I love getting a little "Disney fix" when I need it!

My friend Mermaid....I'm sorry you are so down. I know it must be frustrating to be met with such a resounding "NO"....not even a bit of discussion about it. You're right, he's a grump. I think he's afraid if he got into the Kingdom, he'd get hit with some fairy dust and melt....kind of like the Wicked Witch of West and water! Just a thought....

Know that I love ya', and am very proud of your college accomplishments!!!

Hugs to you Mermaid!

It sounds like you've got a lot going on with school, taking care of the kids, etc. That kind of stress can lead to depression. All of us go through some type of depression at some time or another.
Thinking postively and taking time to enjoy your family and taking little breaks for yourself all will help.
If it persists, though, please think about seeking help. Sometimes just talking things out with a family therapist or clergymember will help. Sometimes it might require more than that.


I truly hope this is really just a case of the blues and not something more serious. But please know, if it is, it is treatable and curable. Take it from someone who's been there!


I hope I'm not overreacting, but when someone says the feel sad a lot, my antenna automatically go up!

Hugs to you!!!

I've been feeling the same way lately. I know it's a combination of this pregnancy and the fact that I am on compozine. Compozine is actually a depressant. I'm on it to stop the vomiting. I have tried to go off of it a few times but I'm one of those rare people that stay sick throughout the entire pregnancy. My doctor suggested an antidepressant but I decided against it. I don't want to be taking too much during this pregnancy. To make a long story short I know how you feel. Everyday is a battle for me right now. I can't stand my job but I'm lucky enough to work out of my home. I can't bear the thought of cooking but know I have to. Housework is like pulling teeth right now!!
I know this will all end and I will get back to my old self but that doesn't seem to help right now. I am thankful for all I have right now but I'm still down. In time it will pass.
I just wanted to say I KNOW how you feel and hope it all passes quickly. Work on that trip to WDW. You never know he may change his mind. Don't forget that we are getting a check from the government soon. 400 per child. That could be a big help. I know it is helping with our March trip!
Take care and {HUGS}!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, I think we all can relate occassionally. I'm feeling a little down after some bad news myself this afternoon and I'm trying to fight it. I think we might go see Finding Nemo tonight to take my mind off of things.

I like planning things, like a vacation. It's fun to have something to look forward to.

Within your budget is there anything you could plan? A get together with friends or maybe just a weekend away not too far from home?

{{{{{HUGS}}}}} Mermaid! Yes, I feel sad...a lot lately with this painful spinal stenosis.

 

[Pin Wizard]

Yesterday I felt sad all day without figuring out a reason for it. But last night I visited friends for just over an hour and feel much better today.

 

[dizneenut]

Yes, I've had alot of days when I am sad for no reason at all.
