    Feeling Gloomy

    I should be feeling pleased with myself, I'm hardly drinking and have now gone a week tea free which was harder than stopping drinking as I felt really unwell for two days and had killer headaches for a week. But now I feel miserable, the sun is out and I've lots to do in the garden, things I want to do but I just feel stuck I can't get myself motivated to move. Its really frustrating, I could do with kicking myself up the backside but just seem flat and apathetic. I guess it feels worse as I think I should feel better but don't.
    Thanks for the chance to rant

    Hi, I know how that feels, so here I am kicking you up the bum !!!!

    I find that by making the effort the energy follows later ...

    Well done on your cutting down,

      hi, i agree with Betty, when i went on the 30 AF stint, the first few days i was soooo un-motivated and appathetic. I could not be bothered to do anything. If you pysically (i'm sorry i cant spell!) do something, the energy will come. Keep at it. Bella xx

          Also another thing to think of is chanting "I'll fake it 'til I make it". Sometimes that alone works.

            Today I have sooo much on my plate but no "light under my butt". Give it time.

              SeaBreez,
              Love the "light under my butt" thought -- that perked me right up! And I had forced myself to exercise this Monday morning. Not really working -- just cruising the boards.
              Thinking about getting my nails done -- guess I know how you feel today goingsobermum. Let's hope Tuesday has more light.

                Why tea free to? Maybe the tea had alot of caffiene and now your body is feeling those affects. Just a thought.

                  Thanks for all the kind comments, the kick up the butt helped and I got some mowing done. Its nice to feel supported and not alone, hopefully there will be more light tomorrow.
                  I gave up the tea because I was drinking pots and pots of it, far more caffeine than is good for me and once started in the morning couldn't stop. I think I used it for energy buzzes and at the same time got withdrawal symtoms and moody which was calmed by a cuppa. I realised yesterday that for a few days I have actually been calmer and haven't shouted at the kids which makes life nicer for us all! I don't really miss it too much but guess my body is taking time to adjust.
                  Thanks all

                    For me if I was gloomy and the sun was out I would just go sit in it.

                    And who cares if I melted.

                          Suz, LAZY LAZY and LAZY, I just can't get that kick I need. I almost stopped for an iced coffee yesterday it was so hot. I'm not irritable or anything just not extremly motivated. Not good right now I have several projects on the shelf. But I do love do work under pressure. Odd, a problem drinker who likes to work under pressure and deadline.
                          Go FIgure!
