What's your mood today?

[Tarakin]

depressed...just...depressed

blah...

and sigh...

Down and looking for out.

This video represents my current mood. It's ne of those "I 'm gonna throw my controller against a wall" moments. Except the game I'm playing is on my computer, and I'm not bloody well gonna throw that against a wall.

Although I was tempted...

ETA: GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exhausted.

* Hugs *

Colly was and is dearly loved by many here... if you wish to both contribute to her legacy and have a more physical remberance of her, as well as a good book to curl up with, look here:

Thanks, but I've had the book for quite some time now, already.

Otherwise, my mood today is pretty nondescript. Neutral. No sense of purpose. Ho-hum.

 

[English Lady]

*hugs* all.

Long day but good all in all. I'm a little overwhelmed I have so much to do between now and Friday morning!!!!

 

[Misty_Morning]

Very Tired.

Had some climate control issues at work (the AC died) and had a very negative effect on the optics of my primary analytical instrument. It got fixed yesterday morning.

I went into work last night around 11PM. The optics still hadn't eqilibrated.

Anyways...no problem...I hads lots of other stuff to do in the mean time.

I just got home.

But I got ALOT accomplished.

Only problem is, my Dad is on his way and should be here shortly. I really need to do some chores that I have been putting off....but ain't gotten happen right now.


Just gonna enjoy a cold beer or two and the company of my lovely Grace...then...back to overdrive.

 

[English Lady]

*hugs* misty. I can appreciate the busyness. I've not stopped for days and it's going to be busy again today.


My mood: not in the mood. I'm really not in the mood for chores, I'm not in the mood for going to the in laws, I'm just not in the mood. bleh. Oh well, on with the day anyway.

I can relate to that. Not today, though. Today I want to be productive and release the inner geek.

Hope everyone has a nice day. Don't see too many smiles and laughter around here these days. When did the AH become such a wailing wall? It's like the Dementors off Harry Potter have taken up permanent residence...

 

[rgraham666]

Not bad. It's a wonder what seven hours of solid sleep will do for a person.

 

[TitianaPeaks]

Horny and mildly annoyed

 

[impressive]

Headache, probably due to the weather front moving through, but I'm enjoying the rain.

Tackling end-of-the-month paperwork before opening Word to take Tess on to round two of karaoke night at the dyke bar.

Well, i might not have been in the mood but I've done alot of my to-do list already, so I am feeling rather pleased with myself right now

Still lots to do so I better get on with it whilst the productivity is flowing

Very irritated and pissed off at the phone company which is also my net provider.
Their 'routine' work keeps disconnecting everything on me. This is the third day in a row and all the guy said is 'sorry bout that' as he walked away. Throughout it all I've somehow lost the ability to get the internet on my laptop. It still has wireless but won't connect. Right now is not a good time for me to call them and complain again.

 

[CeriseNoire]

Mood is way to excited and happy. Just bouncing all over the place. Don't know how I'm going to sit still for Spanish class tonight.

 

[Belegon]

Anticipatory

The prospect of the nations first african-american major party nominee for president accepting the nomination of the 45th anniversary of Dr. King's most famous speech is spine-tingling.

I only hope that Barack is up to the challenge. I don't doubt his stellar public speaking abilities but the hype, including mine, is incredible.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Tired and worn out, even before kung fu class. If it wasn't for the blackbelt ceremony tonight (we just added four to the ranks) I would have stayed home and slept in early tonight.

 

[scheherazade_79]

I'm following EL's lead and having a productive day

And looking forward to losing my n00bie status over the weekend, and selecting my first avatar!

Sour. work is just... uhg...

 

[Gi_Venus]

I should be ashamed. The only time I come here lately is for support. The reality is that I have nothing to give to anyone, not even myself. *sigh* my waterproof eyeliner is not holding up.

You will just have to take this *Hug* then.

Thank you DP

Stay with me here. Follow this thought.

You feel bad that you have nothing to offer.
If you were able to offer support to somebody, you would feel better.
If you were able to offer support to somebody, you would feel you had something to offer.
That is what you give to people when you ask for thier support.
You make them feel like they have something to offer.
That is invaluable.

Do you really think DP didn't get anything from that interaction you just had?

You think I don't get anything from writing this to you?

Don't feel bad about asking for support. It is nowhere near as one-sided as you think it is.




Now, I know something you can try. I don't know your story at all. I'm being very presumptuous here but I don't care. If you are feeling how I think you are feeling, I'll risk looking like an idiot. You don't have to feel this way.





When you write the things you write, you make yourself feel worse. Your subconscious doesn't know how to argue with you. If you say or think bad things about yourself, your subconscious will agree. Every time you read or write or hear or say something, you make a copy of it in your brain. You think horrible things about yourself all the time, don't you?

You stop those thougths by replacing them.

Come up with a mantra. The opposite of the most common bad thoughts you have. Whatever they are. Like, if the one you made here is something you think a lot, your mantra would include, "I have something to offer" or "I am valuable."

You want it short enough to repeat over and over again. And that is what you are going to do. All day, every day, any free moment, repeat that mantra in your head. Give it a month. You will start to feel better. I have never known a person for whom this didn't work. And I've known quite a few people who have tried it. Including myself (I am beautiful, I am capable, I am lovable, that was mine..

At least, give it a shot. One month.

Getting caught up . . .

Things brighten up here when you're around.

You are absolutely right, *grin* you do not charge as much as my therapist do you? I cannot afford him anymore, at least for the present.
Much of what we think is a construct. Meaning open for cognitive interpretation. It means we are what we think. Much of what we are is habit of behavior. We react to stimulus with preconceived behaviors and thought. It is only with something that falls outside our experience do we start to think outside of our preconceived world and then only when we surmise that the situation does not work with our grid work of behavioral reaction. Since we are on auto pilot with a distorted behavioral pattern we tend to victimize ourselves with our reactions and thought not realizing that is what they actually are... only habits and thought. They are not an innate part of us. lol as you say we are what we think. Positive distortion has just as much validity as negative distortion if not more for the beneficial effects it gives us.

In my own case it is a battle with fear and anxiety, this struggle has been going on for years. I fear it is innate within me and I cannot control it. The other day had a panic attack that brought a loss of perception for me, my brain shut down to the point that I could not discern where or who I was for a few minutes. This is very frightening to me. I do not have money to do analysis of testing. Lol in light of who I am. Is it any wonder? Transsexuals create a false identity to deal with the mismatch of body and mind. We pour all our energy into who we are which is false...when we find out who we are...we try to be something else which is again a projection. Instead of the innate self that is covered by all this veneer of falseness. Needless to say this produces anxiety.... I am a rock? I am a ????? *sigh*

Do I talk too much? Thank you Shwenn. I need to practice what you are talking about. *hug* And no you are far from an idiot.
