I can go from one extreme to the other. <br /><br />Thanks for your comments, and your thoughts!Quiet Contemplationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667867394641955283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053855593846713089.post-37008714452878987442013-10-21T10:10:07.949-05:002013-10-21T10:10:07.949-05:00Sticking with routine helps me, too, even if I don...Sticking with routine helps me, too, even if I don't feel like it.

Instead of hitting a wall of not wanting to move, I hit the blast off button on wanting to do it all and get it over with immediately. It's hard to deal with for me and even harder for family to deal with because I get almost frantic in my need to fix everything until it all feels right again. I know I'm coming up on another one of these days. I can feel it building. I'll be rushing from spot to spot making "order" of everything probably this weekend. It's tiring but it's what brings me back to ground again.Forgottenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16136309123298849293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053855593846713089.post-42493050729306987492013-10-17T08:25:45.937-05:002013-10-17T08:25:45.937-05:00Yes, "almost depression" is a good word ...Yes, "almost depression" is a good word for it. And just doing the things I'm supposed to do, just sticking to my routine helps pass the day.<br />Interesting that you write this now, because I was just noticing this week that this is exactly what is happening. Beginning of the week was a bit busy compared to normal, and now I have a few days that are... well...what you write. <br />Thanks.Petrahttp://www.twitter.com/geurtspetranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053855593846713089.post-81755021940470050822013-10-14T09:24:21.918-05:002013-10-14T09:24:21.918-05:00The little things do help me to keep moving forwar...The little things do help me to keep moving forward, too.

Just to be some kind of reassurance that I am okay.

For me what helps are little treats to myself. A walk in the sunshine. A favourite snack. Watching a favourite movie with my kids. Maybe playing a video game. It is a transition, fear of change, threshold of something big. But you know with me, usually while processing my mind figures it out and when it's done I have a surge of renewed energy and resolve. Hugs to you. I don't know you but am rooting for you and Beans.

I realise it happens to me when I have had a busy week and not enough time to sit and process what has happened. It usually happens on a Saturday for me, and when it hits it hits big time. I feel nothingness, the day drags on so much and I constantly find myself clock watching until my husband gets home. I need him - not physically but just having him around seems to make things a bit easier. <br />I'm rambling now...<br /><br />KellyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
