At one point or another we all get the feeling of being stuck in a rut and begin to feel low/suffocated.
So my question is; how do you guys go about getting back on track? Is it drastic changes like a new job/partner or something small?
Do you tackle it head on or find something else to distract you? |

I felt like that recently as our social life has been terrible for the last few months. It has just felt like everything has just been about work, work and more work.Oh and paying the bills.
We have had very little free time together.
Now made some small changes here and there and have been making sure that we allocate time just for ourselves.

My life is falling in round my ears at the moment. I'm trying to keep my sense of humour and deal with one thing at a time. It's all fixable but I continue to learn long hard lessons about the people I've let into my life. I'm currently withdrawing from everyone, hiding out in here with strangers to keep myself sane.
My problems aren't first world issues. They're not major to anyone else but me and they are fixable. I'm just emotional and hurt and sad and trying to fix myself without interference. Apparently withdrawing makes me self absorbed. That makes me question the people I've chosen to be friends with. This makes me sad all over again. It's a vicious circle of sadness and it makes me want to hibernate.

You must keep your sense of humour at all times it has always helped me through some very tough times in the past. Unfortunately I see humour in most things in life but you must keep smiling |

Thoughts with you. I can't even begin to comprehend what you and your family are going through. |

I subscribe to the the saying.
If you walk down the same path, you get to the same place.
The only change? The ruts get deeper.
Being flexible and reframing (looking at the positive outcomes) has helped me.
That and getting lost in different walks of life and making things happen.

Someone once told me that if a "friend" doesn't bring anything positive (smiles when you're down, shoulder to cry on, someone to laugh with, a rant buddy etc) then bin them. Cut ties and you'll feel lighter.
I did just that and you be surprises at how much more positive you feel.
Then when that burden goes you can concentrate on understanding your emotional needs and find a path to attain them. |

Think that can be summed up by this quote I like.....
Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.

Must admit over the last 2yrs we have had more than one occasion.
We got made redundant from the military so our whole lifestyle changed. We had to make massive cuts due to a drop in wages.
So now we don't have the social life we used to have and we have had to get used to the idea of settling in one location.
So we have our moments of feeling low the best fix for this is being thankful for what we do have. Family time, no being away from home for long periods. And being able to talk face to face everyday.
It's the little things that make you happy big changes won't always work and if your feeling low often the problems will be with you no matter what. Either confront them or find a way to live with them. Life's never perfect but it's all we have it's to short to spend worrying about what we cannot control, |

Get PHYSICAL. You need an endorphin rush on a daily basis. Have goals. Write them down. Practise good thinking. Have a good if you're so inclined. I could go on...  |
