I guess I'm just looking for some sympathy

I take a look around, and my problems seem so insignificant. I don’t like feeling this way, I guess no one likes it. But I feel so helpless sometimes. Until just a few minutes ago, I was actually just sitting here staring at my computer screen for half an hour… just staring. It’s been a bad week. A lot of crazy stuff has been happening, and I’m so stressed I’m about to blow an artery. At this point, I’m just trying to hard not to care anymore. Sometimes I think I care too much. I don’t like it, but it’s how I am. I just feel like curling up into a ball and sleep for fifty years. I’ve left instructions to those around me to wake me in fifty years if you guys haven’t killed each other off already.

We’ve all had days like that! Cheer up, you’re not alone. Talk a long walk, drink a glass of good wine, and remember that this too, shall pass.

Sympathy, sympathy, sympathy, sympathy, sympathy, sympathy, sympathy, and well wishes.

Hope it’s not too bad!

Forget the wine and pass the weed! :smiley:
it’a all go 'way, mahn! Airree?

Seriously, it will get better!
Hugs and Hope!

Next time you feel like this, why not try open a book you like? or even flick on a movie or TV show you like? Even open the SDMB and find some threads that will lighten your mood. I know exactly how you feel, most people do, and I find that doing something I like always helps me get in a better humour… unfortunately for me the best cure is shopping :rolleyes:

Anyway take care of yerself, and next time you feel this way, remember, it will get better!

Sounds like it’s about time to tried scheduling a bit more “Time for 7 up yous” in your life, mate. As others have suggested here – go do something you like doing, something preferably totally different from what you do during weekdays, at work, whatever. You’ll need to start de-toxing from all that stress and very soon.

I find that when I’m having one of those days, sometimes it feels good to turn on some blaring rock music and just kind of space out for awhile. I don’t know if that would be as effective for you, but it definately works for me.

If you need someone to talk to, my email address is in my profile. Feel free to email me anytime; I’d be happy to listen. Just make sure to mention the SDMB in the subject line.

Sounds like a good time to take a vacation.
Or change your job.

If you are still feeling this way in two or three weeks, you may want to try something different. Don’t let it go on to long without coming back and letting us know, okay?

Exercise helps me. And so does (strangely enough) listening to the blues.
