Alicia64 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Generally, I'm pretty "up" but for several reasons I've been quite sad for days now. I won't go into the reasons for my sadness, but rather than pulling out of it, it just seems to be getting worse as each day goes by. I'm up for any suggestions. Can you recommend a happy movie I could watch on Netflix? A book? Anything? I'm surprised I'm not feeling better by now. Alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelaughs_times_three Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 :grouphug::grouphug: so sorry! I know you feel. Often I pull in when I feel this way and watch a lot of TV and eat! But that usually only makes things worse. I never feel like it, but what helps me the most is getting out of the house. Spending time with friends that make me laugh, or with my mom & dad. It also helps to do something for someone else that is having a hard time. It helps to get outside your stuff for awhile and see the world through someone else's eyes. Also, comedies are great to watch. Laughter truly is good medicine! Sometimes, though, I just need a good cry. I need a few days to pamper myself and "lick my wounds" (what a gross analogy! :ack2: :D). Then I am ready to pick myself up again and move on. Hope things get better for you soon! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Watching Crazy People with Dudley Moore always makes me laugh. Sorry you're feeling blue. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom4him Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 :grouphug: Btdt!:grouphug: Movies? "Sister Act", "RV", "Homeward Bound". Guess that is all I can think of off the top of my head. Pray you are doing better soon.:grouphug: AGAIN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorMom Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Listen to your favorite, upbeat music and get moving. Maybe take your mp3 player outside with the music and take a long walk. It always helps me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alley When I find myself in one of those Blue Moments that lasts for longer than it ought to, I do with myself what I do with an inconsolable baby on an hours long crying jag--I look for a change of venue. A change in surroundings can do a person good. Be sure to include some human contact, otherwise a quick trip into town can be as isolating as staying home. Go for it! A new hair cut? Get your nails done? Attend a lecture? Attend a concert? Get your mind thinking of other things. As Taj Mahal sang, "Take a giant step outside your mind." Garden for a day. Plant some flowers.

Dana Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 As Time Goes By (Judi Dench, Geoffrey Palmer - British tv series) generally cheers me up. Or at least after watching any episode, I sigh and say, "That was good." :D Hope you feel better. I've been grumpy all weekend. Tried to go out yesterday but couldn't think of anywhere to go. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakblossoms Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I would dose my water with some Rescue Remedy. I fell in love with the series Eureka while I was pregnant. Maybe that. I am not a Sci Fi person either. I hope you feel better. I am going through a blue period, as well:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
