I Need Someone to Talk to

Therapy Round 1

Written on January 23rd, 2013

This is my kind of catch all category...so here it goes.
Right now, I'm not at all feeling like myself.
I cant quite put a finger on why....

I can't seem to bust out of the funk I am in...and have been for a while.

I don't like it.
Not one bit.

Like my shine has dulled. My sparkle.

I'm forcing myself to try things to bounce out of it.
I hope something works.

I need for ONE thing to go my way right now...

Too many times I have felt that way and too many times I look for a distraction to escape that feeling. Exercise, online, TV, alcohol, food, people are some of the ways of escaping. I do know that feelings are temporary. I also know that sitting with myself and those feelings is very challenging and more effective that anything of those activities. AND sometimes moving in a different direction, taking action can be effective as well.

Well, you are always welcome to talk to me!!! =D
In the meantime, I have found that finding a passion, something that inspires you to make a difference in this world can snap you right out of a depressive state (or in your case; funky state). After all, people like to feel like their lives have meaning and that they are needed in this world :)
What gave me that sort of meaning was veganism and animal rights. It's like it woke me up and awakened my inner empathy. In a world that is becoming more and more apathetic, a resurgence of empathy, connection, and being aware of social issues (and then doing something about them!)would help create a world we'd all like to live in.
Anyway, this speech inspires a lot of people to make a difference in this world, I suggest you check it out.
