My Ups and Downs of Everyday Life

I can't seem to get out of this funk/depression. I don't know what it is. I don't want to go anywhere and I don't want to talk to anyone. I am thinking of making an appointment to go see my doctor. A few weeks ago I stayed in bed for about a week. I got up to get my daughter off to school but I went right back to bed. I put on my happy face when I have to but other than that I just can't seem to pull it together.

I have been cooking and baking a lot. I seem to get enjoyment out of that but in the process I am eating way to much. I was losing weight for awhile but totally gave up and have been on the road to destruction.

It has been very cold here. It is in the single digits and with the wind chill some days -35 degrees. You can't even go outside and do anything.

Well, enough of my complaining. Hopefully my next entry won't be so negative. Thanks for letting me vent.

  Hi Dutch,
  
  Sorry I am way behind on my journal reading.  Im hoping you will be ok, actually about a month ago I felt just like you and figured out its the winter and lack of sun!  All I do is go to work in the dark come home in the dark its so cold and miserable do not feel like doing anything.  Im hoping that all it is with you, but please see a doctor I dont want anything bad to happen to you.  Dont worry winter is the time to gain weight, As soon as spring comes you will see you energy pick up hopefully.  Wishing you well!

  Hi, I'm finally here!! I'm making the rounds to catch up and get alerts turned back on......you are now up and running in Poohland :) I'm sorry you are in such a funk.....depression is so hard to deal with thought wise, and just so physically exhausting. I think it's a great idea to see the Doctor, I did and it really helped me get back on track, I'm not 100% yet....but so much better. I'll be praying for you.
  
  Pooh Hugs,

  P.S.............I can't believe how big Bambi is, and sooooo adorable :)

  I have been there and done that and as hard as it may seem the only way to snap out of it is go somewhere.. go for a walk get those endorphins up and running I know I know it is cold it was on me last weekend but it is the best thing I did , go to a mall or department store and walk it will do you some good.
  hugs
