In need of support

I think it's routine. I just get up, when the alarm goes off, turn on my coffee machine, and the day has started.

Then I sit down, drink a cup of coffe. The best days are the ones, where I get up, and go out running after the coffee.

did you ever try to run, as a start of the day? i think it has great impact on your mood (in a positive way).

Setting small goals everyday, seems to be helping me a lot. Hope you feel better and recieve abundant energy.

Although there are days where it truly doesn't seem like it, there is ALWAYS a silver lining. Look for your silver lining, even if it is just waking up to the birds singing or having your favorite glass of juice. Focus on what makes you happy--be it a course in school, or a customer at work. Surround yourself with positive energy with your friends, family, and your MFP family.

I agree with lynnmarie60, look toward the future and focus on the steps to get you to where you want to be.

Sometimes it is just one day at a time. It is hard to do, but sometimes you have to trust that the people around you are going to be ok, because there is nothing you can do. Sounds like you really need to take some time and think about yourself. I know you don't have a lot of time, but take a small walk or some type of exercise when you get a chance. I know if I haven't worked out I will not have the energy to do anything. Also, if you are not eating enough you will also lose energy. Fuel your body and your mind. Yoga is a good option. If you can't make it to a class, get a dvd. It helps you stretch, gain strength and relaxes your mind.

I pray you start feeling better.

I'm not sure where you live, but I live in Mn.. And the season has just started to change (it should have a while ago..), and it's hard to get up on those cold, overcast days!

It's supposed to be 80 here today, and I was super excited to wear capris and sandals!! One of my friends plan little events (going somewhere or countdown to the end of school) to keep us motivated.. It doesn't always work. But we help keep each other accountable for things, and that helps a lot! FInd a buddy if you can. I can be it on here!

Pack little snack bags of high impact foods, and put them in your purse or bag to munch on when you are walking or driving to your next destination. And get enough sleep! I know thats not easy when you have a jam packed schedule and needs a little downtime before going to sleep...

Good luck!!

I understand about bad things.... this past few weeks my grandmother broke her back then had a stroke they could do nothing about so from my birthday to mothers day i was wondering.... will this be the day her suffering will end? A friend was burried on my birthday, my cousin had to have a full hystorectamy, my favorite aunt is dying for terminol lung cancer, my dad got in a car wreak a few months back and broke his hip & has been having long & painful recovery, another friends boyfriend just drowned the other day too...... so with all that (possible forgetting some) i ended up failing my last test for the semester last week but i did get a little lucky and the teacher is going to work with me.

I am a mother though to a 2 year old and thats where I get my strength. I have to! I also jsut try to shake it off.... try meditation and yoga. Very good to help get your body and mind realigned and cleared of the negativity that can be bombarding you. Having a good friend or stranger to talk to can help to sometimes. Just remember that YOU are in control of how you feel. Maybe you should take some vitamin supplements if you arent already. St. Johns Wort is good for depression. Find yourself a good multivitamin and a b-complex. Im a vitamin junky honestly but they have helped me most of all in tuff times. Add me if you want... Hope maybe something ive said helped....
