quit sleeping in (read all 3 entries…)
AWFUL

I’ve been feeling pretty low lately and find I’m having a hard time getting out of bed in the morning. I could seriously sleep until well after noon if I let myself. I’ve been pulling myself out of bed at 10:30 but that’s WAY too late. It’s such a waste of a day. I’ve got to start getting up early and exercising. I can’t let it go any more. There’s so much I could be doing with my morning before 10:00. I should start getting up with Patrick when he leaves for work. I feel bad that I sleep in all the time while he’s working his butt off at work.

So what's going on?

You sound like you have a lot of things you want to do. What’s got you stuck in bed? Are you feeling physically bad or is this a bit of depression?

It’s probably none of my business but your entry caught my attention.

Thanks

It’s just a waste. The sleeping in that is. I’ve hit a little bump of depression is all. It’s nothing I’m not used to, it just never gets easier to deal with. I guess it’s loss of faith in myself after losing my job five months ago. It came as a complete surprise and kind of made me feel useless and dumb. I know that’s not the case, as I’m quite a good worker and relatively intelligent. I think I’m just feeling the lows from it finally.I don’t think I let myself feel every stage of it that I should have. I blocked a lot of things worried that I would sound stupid for whining over certain aspects of it. Worried that I was boring the people around me with endless “but”s. I thought I was completely over it but it re-occurrs when I start to look for another job. The nightmares (nothing too bad)start and then I start feeling low.I’ve just got to get my feet back into a work environment and start feeling useful again. As for things that need done, 43things was a good place to start with things I had plans for in the future..but the every day is starting to weigh on me. Thanks for the comment. It was nice to have someone outside my normal realm comment.

Pick yourself up,

dust yourself off, you probably know the rest of the song.

I found a quote recently that I shared with my nephew who is also job hunting that I thought you might like.

A company holds interviews so it can hire the best person for the job.

The hiring manager will be ecstatic if that person turns out to be you –

because then he can stop interviewing and get back to work.

Reread that statement before you go in for your next interview and remind yourself, “I’m the person they’re looking for.”

In between interviews perhaps you can take your attention away from your problems by volunteering someplace. Perhaps reading to kids at your local library; delivering meals for meals on wheels; go give blood. Anything to allow you to be of service to others tends to boost your opinion of yourself and helps with your confidence in that next interview.

Thanks! I’ll be sure to keep that mantra in my head as I pound the pavement. :)

hey chel...;-)

the job, it sucks, it hurts, and now you have a chance to do something about it:

do yourself a favor an throw a party. celebrate the lose of your job. look you already lost, so what does it matter, you might as well have “FUN” with it.

tell your husband if he won’t move the boxes that you will, you “WANT” a place to setup your easel.

first piece paint a large self-portrait…go ahead take a chance see what you learn.

YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE!

create a team to support you in moving forward with your art…”IF THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT?”

quit trying to do everything “ALONE!”

With love,

James

Can that fun include egging my ex-bosses house?? Just kidding. That’s so very nice of you to write such a great comment. I’ve been working through the whole thing and find that most days I don’t even think about it. I occasionally have my bitter moments but try very hard to live in the moment.

I’ve been slowly making progress in getting my art things cleaned up. I have yet to move onto the “art” room. I plan to have that started here soon. I’m working on it though.

I’ve never done a painted self portrait. That’s a real good idea!

Your statement “quit trying to do everything “ALONE” is so in tune with what I need to LEARN. I really need to follow through with that life lesson! I should start using that as my mantra.

“Om quit trying to do everything ALONE”

Thanks for the wonderful advice! Have a great week and cheers!
hugs
