Just a Newbie

Howdy Folks:
I'm new on the forum. I went looking because I'm having one of those days. You know, can't get anything started, can't get anything accomplished. Feeling really bad. Out of smokes, out of time, out of my mind. I'm on my meds so that's OK. I could go to the store for smokes but.............going out in public is something I don't do without seriously debating with myself. It some times takes days.
I began thinking today...I am 57 and I don't know who I am. That's kinda bad. At least it feels bad to me. At this age I should have some clue as to who it is looking back at me when I look in the mirror. All I know is the hurt. I tried writing in my journal but I couldn't even do that.

It's A BAD day

Hi R,

What do you do each day? - It's important to have somewhere to go to do something, such as a job or to study. Doing nothing is bound to make you feel upset and sad. Do you live alone? Im 26 now and just emigrated to the UK from Ireland. I feel very lonely but my 'motto' is to just stay as busy as possibl to stave away the loneliness and sadness.

Take care and have a nice evening,
Kevin

That's a good thing to do keep yourself busy... Do things you've never done before go to places you've never been to before... Learn to love life and be happy... Good luck!

Bless your heart. And WELCOME!! I've met some REALLY nice people/mods/admins here. 57? That's my dad's age. I don't know if you're into it or not but have a talk with the Lord about how you feel. HE can and will help you along the way. Remember Hebrews 13:5 - Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. The Lord is always with you and if you listen very hard, you can hear his voice. I heard his voice ONCE, and it was before my dog died, and HE said "Everything will be okay". Journals don't work? How about playing video games or online games? My mum plays games from the computer to keep her mind active. GOOD LUCK! I hope you get to feeling better. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Hello R'

Welcome - I too am having a BAD day. I am trying to work and I can't concentrate. I am mad at the world for no reason. I would like to just go home and relax but I have duties at work, then home with children and a husband to be with. Some days just stink don't they?

When I have days like that I just want to be left alone. I never get to be alone it seems. Someone is always bothering me, like my husband who isn't employed and doens't quite understand my BP. So, I hope you can find the strength to get out and get some cigs if that's what it takes. I smoke too. Maybe grab a soda that you like and get some fresh air.

Come back home and tidy up your place if you need to. I often find that I am better with my mood if my place is clean and tidy. Or just changing the sheets on my bed. Little steps can often feel like BIG improvements on hard days.

Good luck you...hope you feel better soon. Take your pills and journal if you can. You will look back on it during a better moment and think wow!

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the comments and suggestions. I've got another problem to deal with today so I've got to find the right place for that post.

Thanks again.
