Ever since I quite my job, my emotions have been so up and down. I have been going through the five stages of grieving and Im all but to the point of, "their loss".

Im not going to the gym like I should (last week I had an appointment with some sort of doctor every day but Friday).

I hurt. Once I talk myself into getting out of bed or off the couch and do something I feel better. But today I went grocery shopping and I felt like a zombie. I hurt everywhere. I havent slept well for a few days due to a cold but that has not held me back at all this week.

I feel empty. Like I cant find my footing. Its been a little over two weeks, maybe Im expecting to much to soon.

Hang in there! Some days are diamonds, some are dust!

Why is it that "This Too Shall Pass" goes faster for good stuff than for times when we are in the doldrums? When I am in the doldrums, I try to practice gratitude or do a gratitude list because that helps. Also doing something for someone else can help me get out of myself. I also try to remember that my morale doesn't improve with self-beatings!

Be kind to yourself!
Thanks for this!

You had that job for a long time, right? I think you're right about it being a grieving process. Give yourself time to physically recover from your cold & I like what Rick said. I know that works, even though it seems the most difficult thing to do when down. (It is for me).

Celebrate the small accomplishments too! I'm sorry you're feeling so off.

May this time pass for you quickly, but be gentle with yourself as it runs it's course.
