I felt like that last week Ang - I was crying for no reason. I tried to cheer myself up by thinking of Harry, but that made it worse as I started thinking of his life before we got him, and whether he'd been hurt.
Ang and Skippy, how strange? I'm a bit like that today!!! Don't know why, I should be happy, but I feel really sad.[:(] Hope you feel more chipper this week Skippy and Ang, hope you feel more chipper next week![:)] What are we like????!!!!!!
I hope you're feeling brighter soon as well Viki. I'm sure the weather has a lot to do with it - when it's cold and dull and you feel down anyway I'm sure it makes it worse.
I think I have that winter syndrome thing.. but with this global warming.. its got me all over the place.. don't know if i'm supposed to be happy or sad.. hee hee!
It's not cold here, but it' been overcast all day. I did manage to dry my washing outside.
Viki, you're probably feeling apprehensive about tomorrow as well as well as the weather being c**p.

Ang, you have been feeling like that for some time, havent you? I dont think its seasonally affected disorder, youre just down, me thinks. SAD is supposed to be related to the amount of sunshine we have so it could be, its not been summer really has it?
I hope you lot all start to feel better soon. My Moms sister has been very ill this week, almost lost her but she is on the mend now and I feel so relieved. She is the image of my mother and has the same writing and mannerisms, she has also adopted me. I did feel really sad and alone but now I am just so happy and relieved.
Good luck for tomorrow Viki, youre new life starts here. Maybe youre just a bit sad about leaving the old life behind?
Sorry to hear about your aunt Lily. Hope she is fully recovered soon.

Thank you so much. You just dont realise you have got a problem until you really cant even sit down do you?? I am sooo relieved, she is going onto a normal ward from high dependancy tomorrow. She is very special.
Sorry to hear about your Aunt Lily ... hope that she continues to improve daily.
Interesting to hear how you all feel. I was just sitting here earlier and thinking "what's the point of it all?" ... I am sure that it has got something to do with the dreary weather. I always look forward to September which is often a lovely, sunny mellow month which sets us up for the winter.
I was talking with a friend the other day who pointed out that it might also be connected with my debt journey in that for a good few years now my 'goal' has been to address and sort this out ... and all the worry and stress does bring a certain amount of adrenaline that one lives off.
It is strange that now that I have addressed the debt situation I now don't have a goal. I wonder whether anyone else who has completed the journey feels this way?
I am fine thanks just happy she is still here, she is a star.
I felt like that too for a couple of weeks, almost as if getting through the time was the goal and when it was over all I could think of was what I had lost on the way. Its true that when you live off adrenalin you keep going, there is a point but once the point is reached youre right back wondering again. Cant remember whose theory is was but something about assimulating and needing to assimulate. Struggling through and getting there, somehow doesnt seem like enough anymore and you just cant enjoy it when you get there. Perhaps because the fear is still there for a while, like running and then having to catch your breath.
Anyway, I am going on now, so I just hope you feel the point very soon and get back to your brand new self.
Probably something to do with "The seven stages of grief" ... re-adjustment and assimilation of the 'new' is all part of it.
How is the counselling course going Lily? I do so hope taht you are able to make the Birmingham FF meeting ... can't wait to have a good chat with you [:)]
