The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I know it is just an 'off' day,I am not feeling well,the weather is crappy,and frankly,I just feel tired from all the work,time and effort I have to put in on a daily basis just to keep my sanity and some sense of serenity.
SoggySlippers - I agree with Betty - be gentle with yourself. We all have good and bad moments, and my experience is there will come a time when the 'work' you put in becomes more automatic, and the sanity comes more easily.
You are not alone and we're just a post away!!

I'm sorry. No big words of advice here except to say that sometimes you need to step back and just take some time for yourself and learn to find acceptance for 'what is'. I love the 'just for today' that states: I can do something for 12 hours that would appall me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

I'm sorry you are having a rough day. Take care of yourself, are there any easy treats that you can gift yourself today? I love to make hot chocolate, tuck up under the covers and do a gratitude and asset list when I'm feeling down. Sending ((((((hugs))))))).
I understand!! I have days when I'm afraid to talk to anyone because I may burst into tears! I find that it helps me to stay busy. Anything works, something mindless like dusting or even organizing my sock drawer I get out of my head a lot easier when I'm moving and busy! Know that we all have our ups and downs, That's for sure! Gratitude helps! I try to focus on the good things on those days, but it's tough!
So sorry to hear you are having a rough day. I agree with the others... take care of yourself today.. I was feeling this way a couple of weeks ago and as I drove to work, decided that I needed to change plans. I called and took a personal day, turned around and drove to a beach on Cape Cod where I sat and enjoyed the view and a good book. Sending you positive energy to help you in your journey.
