I am in a
and I am not sure how to get out of it.
Now I understand it very well.
You see I am
(shush, no one is listening, are they?)

MENTALLY ILL
Yeah I said it.
I take medication.
And it helps out a lot.
And I know many many many people are in my same "metaphorical" shoes.
It is just that currently I can not seem to shake the funk I am in.
I have tried to continue exercising.
That is good for the endorphins in your brain.

And I am making sure I get plenty of natural light.
As that makes serotonin for your brain.

And I am socializing
so I don't become too withdrawn.

But inside I am still trying to not cry, whimper or just down right bawl.
Not that I do that on the outside!

ReplyDeleteThe Funk stinks
(((((HUGS)))))
ReplyDeleteSending Hugs and Sunshine and anything else you need.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry! Sending you happy thoughts and a funk free night!
ReplyDeleteSending smiles, hugs, laughter and sunshine your way. What else can we do to help?
ReplyDeleteBig hugs and a huge smile - and I'll shed a tear with you as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that. I get in funks. You're definitely doing all the right things. But if that's not working then sometimes the best thing to do is something totally different. Like go to a sad movie and cry your eyes out, alone. Or go to a different town for coffee and sit and read the paper. Just a different avenue or path can change our perspective. I hope it works for you.
ReplyDeleteIt's especially hard in the winter, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI've been struggling, too, lately, and my antidote has been to get out and do something physical.
*hugs*
