I have a saying I use when I am sad, upset, anxious or just trying to make it thru a travel day....."whatever it takes". I literally do (within reason) whatever I need to to get me through.
ReplyDeleteDo you travel for work?
DeleteThankfully, no. I work at HP and actually work from home 3 days per week and go into the office 2 days per week. Rick and I travel a few times per year and sometimes the days are long so I can get a little cranky. This is when I basically eat and drink my way through the day until we get to our destination :)
DeleteMeg! I hope that you wrote this post a long time ago and are not sad today.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I am sad I read a book, watch a TV show or watch a movie to take my mind off of it for a while. I know avoiding the problem isn't always the best idea, but it gives my mind a little time to process whatever happened so that I can deal with it properly.
I'm the same way, after I eat croutons lol. I know I'm REALLY sad when I don't even want to go on a run!
DeleteLike Kristina, I hope you aren't feeling this sad right now.
ReplyDeleteDepending on why I'm sad - sometimes being with others helps and sometimes just holing up by myself and giving in to a funk helps!!!
Both of those strategies are definitely valid. I tend to hole up because I am such a talker and if I see people, I fear I will dump my problems on them and would be a downer.
DeleteMeg, hope you're doing okay :) I've had a crazy week and I sort of eat the same as when I'm sad and stressed: I ate two donuts this week! Two donuts!!! LOL. And pizza...lol. So basically, when I'm sad/stressed I eat crap. The end!
ReplyDeletelol well at least you are a machine and will surely use that sugar and carb energy for something good! I think you are done with school soon- YAY!!!!!
DeleteI hate that you feel sad...and I feel very sorry for every thing you and Paul have to face this summer. I have similar habits when I am sad, I can drink wine by the bottle and not log it. My best cure is to go for a good old fashioned walk with run buddy and vent, we have both had to take vent sessions over the years because life happens. Walking and talking is good:)
ReplyDeleteme too me too! i literally was nodding my head the entire time i was reading through this list. i might as well of put a check mark next to each one :)
