Low mood

[lindypalm]

Hello how are you all getting on? I've been great for ages but struggling again. I threw out lots of things, which I now regret. Might go to the doctors this week and ask for help. I've not been exercising so much and have wound myself up with a few things. I'm very lucky and shouldn't be so ungrateful but feeling low.

Hi, sorry you are feeling like this. I went through a spell of feeling fantastic and then hit a low point. I think the weather at the moment is not helping.

Anyway I found it helped to look back at my diaries and remind myself of how far I have this year and to remind myself of the progress I have made.

I find that giving myself permission to forgive myself for the bad day I've had helps. I also remind myself that my bad days now are so much better than my good days were 6 months ago.

If I find I've not exercised and just need to feel I play some happy songs and just dance to them or sing along, anything to get the blood pumping.

Glad to hear you are going to speak to your doctor, hope that helps.

You will get over this slump, keep thinking positive thoughts and using any techniques you've been using to help you as it will all help.

Take care.

Thanks so much. Well done on your journey. I keep reminding myself old habits die hard. I did need to declutter but had different voices telling me keep it, throw it. I was up all hours doing it and now I'm too lazy to get up and clean the house. Lol.😁. I feel I've wasted so much time and money. Though I've started opening up to people and enjoying being calmer.

You should see my house right now. I had the place looking really nice, but at the moment I'm going thorough a low point again and it's not so nice at the moment.

I need to remind myself again that the past is the past and can't be changed. The future is still to come and I can only control that by controlling what I do today.

So time to write down my task lists again.

Glad to hear that you are feeling a lot calmer. One step at a time and you'll get there.

Stay calm and one task at a time and you will get there.

Take care.

It's amazing that we all go through it. I've written out some mind maps and now a daily routine and to limit myself to projects and spend more time with my son. Lots of lessons learned. I hope you feel better soon and get back on track

Hi

I don't know your history but you may find that the throwing out was the right thing to do but that the regret now is part of a process of grieving and letting go - I did similarly some years ago, threw out literally thousands of books that had meant a lot to me, but gradually came to terms with the fact that it had been a good move because they had been reminding me of something that was no longer achievable, throwing them out enabled me to let go and move on.

Just a thought.

Thanks. My son is playing with his toys, we are enjoying living here now. I had so many to do projects I was overwhelmed. We barely spent anytime at home as I didn't want to be here as I had problems with neighbours and had been made homeless so didn't move here out of choice. Yes I had emotional attachments to my son's things, I even had stuff from boyfriends from 15 years ago. I needed to make the change on so many different levels.
