I can't seem to figure out what's going on inside this mind of mine. For the last couple of days, I've felt melancholy. Usually I can find the origin, but this time I'm stumped. I feel like I could cry, given half a chance.

Normally I can "cure" myself with a shopping trip, but that holds little interest. I've tried reading and watching tv. Nothing. I've worked on projects around the home. Nothing but sore muscles and sweat.

I'm not even tired. I just feel like there are tears behind my eyes. What do you do when you feel this way?

So sorry you are feeling this way. When I've had difficulties like this, after trying different methods of self soothing and not finding relief.....I finally give into it and let it "be" for awhile. Let myself be in the funk...let myself cry over, well, whatever. Sometimes after doing that, I figure out what's really bothering me and then I can work from there. Other times, I can't figure it out and just work to find my way out of it after giving it validation.

I hope you find your rythym again and are feeling on the "upside" soon!

I just got new wind after seeing my regular medical doctor Friday and getting a couple of meds changed and the "go ahead" for a few things I wanted to try different.

Sometimes (like now), having a time-limited period and working on something just for that period (I see the doctor again in exactly 6 months plus I'm helping with a booth in a business convention the first week of June, etc.) can get me moving again.

I have found that chocolate and coffee are good for chasing away the Dementors. (I know, gratuitous Harry Potter reference)

I had the blahs, and they didn't lift. My pdoc just readjusted my meds, and I am starting to feel better.

Otherwise, a lot of times it seems to be hormonal for me.

Thank you for the ideas. I really appreciate them and the caring. I'm going to try to ride it out and see if time takes care of it. Maybe it's spring fever. I see my shrink in May in case meds need fixing. Thanks for the poor babies. It helps a lot.
