@Ann – Lucky! Mine doesn’t go away until Thursday, then it’s only a few short days until it happens all over again! LOL

Boy how I can identify. I had one of these days yesterday but mine included 2 fighting kids, a messy house, stuff to be done, etc. Sometimes I’d like to run away from myself lol.

I totally understand how you feel as I too have a chronic illness. I deal with this day in and day out, yet when I finally push myself out of the house, even though I don’t want to walk on my bum knee, I feel so much better. Reading about others who deal with similar situations helps to encourage me, knowing that I am not the only one coping. Thanks.

I know prayer sounds really cheesy, but my favorite prayer lately is “Thank God for motivation.” What can I do without it? Worse, what would I want to do?

I’m working on learning to accept that there are some days that come to me without motivation — it’s like the MSG of life, isn’t it? Everything is more vivid if you’ve got it.

Yes, I know motivation can be developed….but who has the energy? Lol! Aren’t we lucky when it seems to fall on us from the heavens?

i have shit days too where i think that life is never going to get better.

it can be super hard, and i can’t say it’s going to get better because i have no idea. some days i wake up and i love life. some days i wake up and would rather just hide.

perhaps you can take comfort in the fact that you are not the only one?

I hear ya….

I had back surgery and it worked well until a couple months ago when the pain started to return. Now by mid-afternoon, I can barely stand to sit (and standing around walking doesn’t feel so good either) so I squirm and can’t focus which results in crap productivity and a sense of grouchiness that even a venti coffee can’t cure. I never know whether I’m grouchy because I hurt or if I hurt as some physical response to being grouchy.

I’ve blamed my pain on my desk job, my chair, the weather, lack of exercise, too much exercise, stress, etc. It’s quite frustrating. At least pre-surgery I had the hope/expectation that surgery would end my pain. Now there is no answer.

I don’t know how cold it is where you are, but perhaps you could benefit from some sunlight therapy. When I start feeling like you do I take a drive with the sunroof open (or the windows down) or take my laptop outside. Of course, I’m in Florida, so it’s a bit easier for me.

Geez, I think it WAS international BLAH day, as I was not my usual chipper and peppy self either. Hopefully today is at least a little better for you. :)

Sometimes, when I am having a blah day, I ask myself if, should a truck run me over tomorrow, I’d really want to stay blah today. Sometimes the answer is yes, sometimes no. But sometimes blah is just a mental attitude. Sometimes just getting a different twist on how great it is to be alive will get me going. Naturally, it helps to put on a CD I really like. LOUD.

OK, that might not work for a headache blah day. But maybe something else would. You know what gets you going, so do that if you can.
