I just survived the most depressing day I've had in a while, yesterday.

Here's what I learned:

1) Be thankful for what you do have. Do not let one thing or focusing on the things that are missing drag you down.

2) Don't let anybody else's opinions change the opinion you inherently have of yourself and your own actions.

3) Be kind of yourself.

4) Remain hopeful.

5) Delight in the small things in life. Like a hug. Or a great cup of coffee.


What do you guys think or do to get over those not-so-great days?

I haven't had one of those days in a LONG time but the last time I did go through a rough patch, Ben and Jerry were right there with me ... LOL I'm a big fan of just drowning out my thoughts with music too though. I plug in my headphones and listen as loud as I can stand and just close my eyes and listen.

well I think it's also my PMDD - I get quite depressed/emotionally unstable in the 7-10 days before my period when I'm not on birth control. This month is a break month. So...

yesterday was quite upsetting b/c I started thinking about my past crushes and how nothing ever really worked out. It always ends with silence. And I was trying to figure out if I should blame myself, if I'm the one lacking appropriate actions or social skills. I don't play any games, I guess I'm too easy to see through and not enough of a challenge or a prize to be won. Doesn't matter anymore. I'm happy how I am and I don't want to blame or change myself. Someday I'm sure I'll find a guy who clicks with me.

and I was also angry with one of my friends. She was kind of disapproving of how I am spending my money. I was overly sensitive at the time but I realize she was just expressing her own opinion. No harm intended.

and my family was also kind of pissing me off.


one of those days. and hormones.

glad I'm aware of what is going on. So today, I can say - it's not me. it's not life. it's just my body playing tricks on me

oh it's good to be a girl hahahaha

ok, it definitely sounds like a day for pharmaceuticals and ice cream. just one of those weekends where everything ganged up on you. eventually you'll be like my wife and you wont have to worry about your period anymore. but until then there's a lot of fun stuff out there for you to do!
