Hi everyone...
After spending the entire day (about 9 hours) submitting resume's and applying for jobs online I have a bad case of the blues.
I was wondering what you guys do to get rid of the blues?
I know that some of my gloominess is coming from the hormonal imbalance. I can tell when my progesterone is low when I'm feeling a bit blue- so I have to take that into account.
Part of me wonders if it is the news that my former company is appealing my unemployment claim. I shouldn't care, and normally I wouldn't however I think my plate is over flowing with too many bad things happening to me and my family all at once, so I have noticed that I'm not able to just let these things roll off my back.
It is not like me to get down in the dumps about stuff like this. I was very surprised at how hard I took the news about finding out my b-i-l was sexually abusing my little niece- normally I'd be upset and then survival mode would kick in and we'd get through it unscathed. Normally I can just set my mind that I'm going to be fine, things will work out, God is in control, He won't let us down, or cause us to be homeless, etc...but this time I'm just not able to shake the gloom.
So I thought I'd ask what you all do to cheer yourselves up. Please don't tell me to go shopping- since both DH and I are now unemployed there is no money to go shopping! And window shopping depresses me- I find it counter-productive and slightly torturous. LOL
I already take a bubble bath each day and I'm not in the mood for hubba-hubba with the DH- so obviously desperate times call for desparate measures.
I'm sure after spending the last 9 days by the ocean where it was sunny and warm only to come home to 60 degrees, cloud and drizzle isn't helping either.
I'm in a funk and I don't get in funks and I need some help. TIA!
