Is it too early for a beer?

[tlgoblue]

I was Dancing my way through my chores this morning and became so incredibly depressed, that I just want to have a drink! It's noon somewhere right? (I was wondering how people who let life get in the way of love, live with themselves if they never get the chance to try to make it right? What a miserable life! Or worse, it never really bothers them!) So all I wnat to do is make this feeling go away. Eating or drinking! Comfort. Instead, I'm comming here and venting, and trying hard to get trough this. I am also going to run to the bank and get some treats for the neighborhood spooks. Hopefully, this will pass by the time I get back. And if it doesn't, it should NOT be too early for a beer! That is a joke! See! Just visiting WISH has helped me get a bit closer to sanity! In the meantime, maybe someone had some uplifting comments? I could really use them.

Thanks!
Tracy

I'm sorry you're feeling sad today, Tracy.

Is it pretty where you are? Can you get out for a walk in the fresh sunshine? That always makes me feel good.

I'm really not the best at uplifting words, but I do care.

I just looked at your profile. I see we're both domestic goddesses.

hey Tracy
Your WISH buddie here for ya
It's ok to get down every now and then.... just back away from that beer! It is a depressant and you don't need that right now
I hope you can work your sadness out and get going. Walking or something else physical will release those endorpines and cheer you up!
Hang in there girl!!

{{ Hugs }} for you Tracy!!

You've gotten great suggestions already. Exercise is wonderful for chasing those blues away!! A walk always does wonders for me. Of course, I have to MAKE myself get started - when I'm blue, the LAST thing I want to do is walk - but during and after my walk I feel much better.

Besides, who needs a beer when you've got your WISH pals to help you get through!

Hope you're feeling better soon, Tracy!!

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours. - Ayn Rand

We are new every day. - Irene Claremont de Castillego

Whoever you are, there is some younger person who thinks you are perfect. There is some work that will never be done if you don't do it. There is someone who would miss you if you were gone. There is a place that you alone can fill. - Jacob M. Braude


Throughout the years of your life you will face many challenges, remember that you can climb the highest mountain, drive through the roughest storm, soar across the bluest sky, or even sail across the roughest waters. It is only destined by your attitude where you will end up in life. The most important thing is don't let yourself get lost in the crowd. - Angela Duvall

The art of being yourself at your best is the art of unfolding your personality into the man you want to be. Be gentle with yourself, learn to love yourself, to forgive yourself, for only as we have the right attitude toward ourselves can we have the right attitude toward others. - Wilfred Peterson

For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Happiness is a journey, not a destination... - Souza

Awe Shucks! Thank you so much! Here's what I did. First, I did go to the bank. Then I got really hungry, so instead of going to the marker for goodies, I went home and made a yummy salad. I drank a huge glass of water and then I read this thread. Then I exercised. It took a long time becaus DH kept calling me, and I had to start over. (OCD ) That was just as well, though, because it kept my mind off the Souza. (No, not SAUZA! )

Karen, that is precisely what I was upset about. Letting life get in the way. Not for me. I'm all about a happy journey. Just others I know who are struggling with this, and others who are totally oblivious to the situation. It just really had me going this morning, thinking about them.

Anyway, after my workout, I took a nice hot bath and started reading that new Al Franken book. (Doesn't matter what side you're on. It is funny. Lots of juvenile humor. A good light read if you want to cheer yourself up ) Then I weighed myself, for added depression, and Bi-polar Betty told me I lost 6 pounds! 146! WOOOO HOOOO! Guess what? It was too good to be true. So to console myself, I slipped into my other pair of size 10's and sat down to thank you all for your support.

That is where I'm at. I didn't go off plan thanks to you guys. So to my Co-Goddess, my Awesome WISH buddy, Doreen and your hugs, and TigH for digging up the most uplifting messages,
Thank You!

This board sometimes does double duty, but it is an essential part of my committment to health. Sometimes, that includes a bit of mental help, as well!

So yes, I am feeling better. DH is trying to get home from LA. DD will be home in an hour, and DS shortly thereafter, and all will be right with my world. (Actually, what will probably happen is DH will miss his flight, DD will have an attitude and DS will have so much homework that I will just flip!)
Tomorrow is another day, and I feel a whoosh comming on Monday! So, as always...

Keep the Faith!
Tracy

Hang in there


We all get sad and down sometimes and thats what were all here for to help you through it!

Put in some peppy music ( Irish pub tunes does it for me lol) and then jam away whiel you clean. It helps me a lot! I was able to get through the kitchen, dining room and living room this morning while singing at the top of my lungs lol

Tracy, I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better!! Way to go - you did a fantastic job staying on plan through this!!

There's no place like WISH for support, cyber-hugs, celebrations, inspiration, etc. etc. etc.!!! What did I do before I found WISH???

 

[TigH]

Tracy,

WISH is about being inspired to stay healthy - that doesn't mean just losing weight and eating certain foods and exercising. It also means feeling good mentally.

I learned the looooooong hard way that I can't fix anyone else's problems. I can be a good influence and be a shoulder to cry on and give a good hug and even offer advice, but I can't do much more than that because it's up to every individual to find their own solution. So please don't get that wonderful clever talented generous caring fun witty mind of yours cluttered with someone else's junk - you just keep thinking your happy thoughts and dance your way through your chores! Lighten up your thoughts and your whole outlook will seem brighter!
