Ginevra Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'm sure the monsoon we're enjoying here in the Mid-Atlantic is not helping matters. And dd14 is in school now - such a drastic change from my life before. But whatever the contributing factors, I just feel like I'm sinking down to a dark place. I need a happy light. And I need to get adjusted to the rigamarole of having dd in school. There maybe something else I need, in the way of an Rx, or Chamomile Tea, or a Mike's Hard. Anyway have any ideas for snapping out of the deep, indigo blues? :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyable Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I wish I had great advice but I'm right there with you... many :grouphug: . This weather DOES NOT HELP. I think I can count the number of sunny days in the last few months on one hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginevra Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Thanks for the hugs. There is a little sunlight right now. I'm going to put on my rubber boots and take a walk in the woods. With a Mike's Hard. I just brought dd home from VolleyBall and she is upbeat and happy, so that makes me feel a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntieM Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Vitamin D! Seriously, 2000 IUs. Every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5forMe Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 My mood/mental status is directly related to this crappy weather that we've been dealing with for what a week now? I am in MD too. I am so ready for fall and totally over this hot humid dreary/rainy weather. This too shall pass....(my mantra at the moment). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginevra Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Vitamin D! Seriously, 2000 IUs. Every day. This is good advice. I need to make a stop at The Common Market tomorrow, so maybe I'll throw some of Vit D in my bag. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not kidding - I was at my office, printing out some documents for my BIL and he looked at the paper and said, "This paper is weird...it's...wet!" And it was. 42 pages of Change Orders that looked like some kid stuffed them in a gym bag. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Food4Thought Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Sorry you're feeling down. When I get down, I turn on loud music. Stuff like Rage Against the Machine and Muse and System of a Down. Or sometimes Dvorak's Symphony No. 9. :D Anyway, I find that the music tends to help. I'm going to go turn some on now, because I've been feeling pretty blah myself. Hope you feel better soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilly Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 And dd14 is in school now - such a drastic change from my life before. And I need to get adjusted to the rigamarole of having dd in school. :grouphug: My daughter is in her first year at a school of the arts. She will be there for the next six years until she graduates. I am happy for her, but I am having so much trouble adjusting. She is gone from 7:30 until 4:00, and I am having a hard time getting use to the new routine. I also miss her, and it is making me so sad. I hope that I adjust to this soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I have the same MD. Weather, and it stinks, but having a TREE in my house stinks worse. Be glad you don't have a tree in your house :D Also, do you have a gym membership? You might just need some exercise/hot tub/focus-on-you time while you plan this next phase of your life. Hope you feel better. I think I'll try some of that Vitamin D that another poster suggested since a trip to a sunny beach is out of the question.

That definitely would rate very high on the "Things That Stink" scale. I did have a big tree take out my playset, but I was happy it fell that way and not onto my bed. I would post a pic, but my internet sucks eggs for uploading photos. :glare: I don't have a gym membership. I do exercise, but I do it at home. Due to some adjustment issues with taking dd to school, I skipped my workouts this week, which is just bumming me out, more. I do have a rather nice tub, though...
