Not expecting any response it just need to write

[Smudge2522]

Feeling proper crap today - no idea why I guess it’s just part of the process- am not expecting any response as just really wanting to put it down in writing as not wanting to sound like a “broken record” to my friends - though those true friends would be more than happy to listen I just don’t want to keep repeating to them. Just feeling emotional and just feeling like I’m in the roller coaster dip - I know it’s not going to last and at some point I will rise up but that’s not today. I’m on annual leave this past week and think I’ve spent too much time on my own and don’t think that’s been helping as not keen on spending time with my own thoughts 🙈. Thank you for reading and good luck to everyone x

Hi Smudge2522 I always read the posts printed.

I will admit we are overwhelmed with posts that sometimes

some are missed because we can't relate to what they need.

Spending time on your own can put you on a different ride. The Carousel, round and

round she goes and where she stops, nobody knows. It's life my friend, good days and bad.

I read your profile, you are on a difficult journey right now. Time is your friend right now.

We can't push for a relationship which I think may be behind your down feeling.

Things happen for a reason in life but when the time is right, you will be in the right place

at the right time. Believe in that. Meanwhile, don't stay stuck in that roller coaster dip. You

must continue on with the ups and downs in life in order to get somewhere.

Remember that you are never alone with your feelings. Many feel what you do. Join hands

my friend and make it a better day. Your day will come xx

Thank you for taking the time to reply - I couldn’t put it down to anyone one thing this slight dip but I do think that rather than dwelling on things the need to just write it down somewhere (I am considering getting some for of book - don’t really want to call it a diary - to just write these things down) so that they’re not in my head and see if that helps 🤷‍♂️. But I do understand that there will be dips in life and it’s just riding those out and hopefully things work out in the end x

Doing a journal may help you...Many on site do. xx

Lol, feeling proper crap today, I've never heard that expression🙃🙂 It's hard when life takes you through the roller coaster dips, I hope our day is better tomorrow 😉

Thank you for your reply - it’s a very English sentence (which I had toned down as didn’t want to use too much bad language but it explains how I felt at the time). Today is a new day so definitely looking inwards and upwards

Hi there, I don’t know what to say to comfort you. I find life hard going a lot of the time, despite being surrounded by people. I usually just acknowledge the pain of feeling down and find something which a I know I get even a little pleasure from, until it passes. A lot of the time people aren’t the answer. They often drain my emotional energy. Try and take yourself out today, buy your favourite ice cream or sweets and enjoy them whilst going forward a wee walk. I’m thinking if you.

Thanks you for taking the time to read and reply it’s all the comfort I need. It is a dip and I know it will pass I’ve been out for a walk with my kids today so that has helped lift my mood. It’s all baby steps and keep moving forward

I can’t stand these ups and downs. I am good for weeks then all of a sudden the blah mood creeps up. It’s so frustrating

Thank you for taking the time to read and reply. It’s very frustrating especially when nothing negative seems to precede the downs they just come out of the blue (for me anyway) I just try no to slip back into bottling things back up hence why i reached out on here into a safe environment it’s a slow process just need to keep getting back up and putting one foot in front of the other. I hope your good spells start numbering in the months and the dips number in days or even hours rather than weeks
