Breathe In, Breathe Out

[ladysprite]

I am having a truly crummy night tonight.

I was having a wonderful day, but things started falling apart, and have just kept getting worse. Part of this is stuff I've been doing working on the inside of my head - in spite of my best efforts to just tread water right now, apparently my subconscious has decided to hammer away at stuff anyway, and while progress is good, it also stirs up a hell of a lot of mental and emotional junk.

Part of it is just a run of bad luck with regards to work, friends, social circles, and other bits and pieces all hitting at the same time.

Part of it is probably just the fact that we're well and truly into the Dark-And-Cold time right now.

And part of it is just fate, and moodiness.

I've tried talking it through, and trying to logic my way out of it. I've tried therapeutic baking. I've tried keeping busy. And right now, I think I'm going to give up and sulk here for a little while and then go to bed, and hope that tomorrow it's gone - or if not, that I'm at least too busy to notice it.....

Hope tomorrow will be better, and you can take some comfort in the relatively nice weather.

Sometimes all you can do is hide for a bit. Snuggle a cat? Or a husband. :)

In my experience, sometimes a good sulk is exactly what's needed. Hope you're feeling better today. {{{{{{hugs}}}}}}

Sometimes, all you can do is go to bed and leave it for another day. Hope things are better today.

It happens - and it's doubly hard when you're tired. Rest will help, and busy-ness can help too.

If I were to give you instructions, and you were to follow them, I'd say something like "it's okay to sulk, just so you know you're sulking, and know that it's a bunch of crap that's not real."

That is, it's okay to acknowledge that your brain and such are feeding you sad, awful messages. But it's not okay to let them become real, and think that they reflect how things actually are.

The key isn't being perky or happy or not having those messages running through your head. It's recognizing that the messages aren't real, and while the feelings are real, they're not how things are because of reality - they're *just* feelings.
