A moment of clarity

[Pawsitive Thinking]

I feel like I've got a dirty great cloud sitting on me and have realised that it is because I don't like myself very much. I am feeling so low right now so hoped that putting it in words would help and this is the one place I feel I can do just that.

There is no one specific thing about me that I don't like - its pretty much everything...I've got to change but right now all I want to do is curl up and hide away

You've come to the right place Denise. Stay with us here on the board. You'll get alot of support here. Sorry to hear that something is bothering you and I hope you feel better soon.

Oh Denise ((((hugs)))) You are such a fantastic person! I do understand how you feel though, I have felt that way myself before. Is something in particular bothering you, making you not like yourself, or just a general feeling? How long have you felt like this? Talk to us, we can help!

Denise,

Sounds like you've got the blues. I get those LOTS of times and try to think what may have triggered it. Think about anything you might have done differently recently. Is there a certain memory of an anniversary that makes you sad?? I know right around this time I used to get VERY dumpy and have figured out it's the anniversary of my Dad's death. Now that I'm back in CT, it doesn't hurt as bad.

We're here for ya!!

I think you need to call a meeting with the furkids and have yourself a Giant group hug!! That should fix it!
For real, hugs to you and I hope you find and fix what ever has gotten you in to this slump.
We're all here for you!

I woke up this morning feeling depressed as well. There's a rainy drizzle outside that tends to feed the negitivity.


What is it , Brodysmum, that seems to have triggered this case of the "blues"?

As moosmom mentioned, her Dad died this time of year, so did mine.(17, August)-

Do you ever keep a dream journal? It helps me , at times, to dig---- deep into my subconsiousness.

I have always thought of you : as highly intelligent, chipper and positive, outgoing, colorful, young and attractive...........Is your head swelling???

I hope so!!!

Let's call a PT Support Group Meeting to Order!!!! Here, Here!!!!

[Karen]

I cannot think of anything not to like about you!

Let's all list good things we like about her!

1. Of course, is that you love and care for your critters above all.

2. Your sense of humor

3. That you care about other people

[Dorothy39]

Oh, I failed to mention that you are one of my "favorite" Pet Talk members!!

Maybe it has something to do with the water that separates us, but. your posts certainly lift me!!! they honesty do!!! Cross my heart!!!

We adore you , on Pet Talk!!! (extends a helping hand across the water )

Can you feel us, Brodys mum?

[DJFyrewolf36]

Well...I just had to come by and give you a random *HUG!!*

I know what it feels like to be down at random...Ive been down a lot myself lately. I wonder what it is...

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Thanks guys - I've got some great friends here.

I think that the reason for this particular "fug" is that I have worked so hard recently to get my finances under control, paid off my mail order catalogue balance, paid some of my mobile bill in advance etc etc only to be right back at square one because a client went on holiday without settling my invoice. This means bank charges, bills not being paid on time and there's nothing I can do about it!

This led to a "why do I bother" moment on Friday, which in turn led to having more to drink than I wanted - I wasn't ill or anything just turned into the loud, brash, life and soul that I loathe.........which gave me my moment of clarity. Dad would be so proud I feel I've let you all down too

[Dorothy39]

We have all been there, Brodysmum!!!


At times , life becomes sooooo frustrating, I can relate to that moment of clarity.

And, You did not let us down. You tightened your grip. You returned a favor , so to speak, because , we have all been there!!!! We know the feeling!!!
