hi my name is Rich/Display,

i usually post to Anxiety, however, today i am just feeling down and lost. i am on a vacation day today so of course i expect to be having fun or doing some other pleasing activity. i do have some errands to do so at least i won't be doing what i have done the last 4 days which is sitting in front of the computer a lot.

the maids come today but i don't know what time and that's messing me up. it would be ideal if they were to be here while i was out on errands. but, even if i am here while they are cleaning, i can sit in my room and read or be on the computer.

i just wanted to show up for myself and so i am feeling lost and down. i try praying but don't really believe HP is listening.

love,
rich

I am sorry for the way that you are feeling, maybe if you start some kind of a project to do, you will feel more purposeful.

The errands will get you out and maybe it will work out so that the timing is good with the maids coming. Why would it mess you up? Do you feel that you would be in their way? I wouldn't worry too much about that if I were you.

I really think if you had something to occupy your time that is constructive, you would feel better. Are you off of work or school? Do try to find something to do that will make you feel better. Either relaxation or something with progress that you can see.

Take care and I hope you feel better.

Hugs, Karen...

Rich,

We, you have been down this road many times before. Know that this will pass too, just like all the other times.

Have you tried mindfulness yet? The practice of mindfulness in daily living is wonderfully uplifting after a lit bit of practice.

go to www.mindful.org

Stay strong, Peace

Thanks both of you for your replies.

Sure enough, I got out and did my errands and feel better. I have heard people say that sometimes when they are down they just go to the mall and walk around, to be around other people.

I do have a project which is beautifying the back yard. We have a nice one, it's rather large and so there's lots of opportunities there. Today I bought flowering plants and a succulent, there is one little area where we keep the succulents. I got some flowers today that I really like.

It's a grey day today but supposedly the sun is coming out later. If it does, I will go out back and sit in the sunshine for a while and admire the plants.

thanks for listening,
love, rich
