Does anyone have any tips on how to pull yourself out of an emotional downward spiral?
I'm usually fairly outdoorsy but am having to stay in for the next week (due ro low blood counts) and its gradually pulling me down.
I'd sit in the garden but it depresses me further as I see how much work needs doing (I was previously the gardener in this outfit) husband refuses to get a gardener and though I love him dearly, he's useless at it.
I've done so much baking I'm sick of it
Listening to music makes me sad.
Am fed up with TV and reading.
My other half is fussing constantly and all I want is some space.
I'm having my own little pity party and need snapping out of it. Any ideas?
Or should I just ride it out and hope by tomorrow I feel better. I'm not usually a down person.
Hi Harebelle welcome to the forum and sorry to hear how down you are. Its a challenging one as being outside means that you are amongst people and you are very susceptible to infection with low blood counts. Do you have a shed or a place outside that you can sit and make it very clear to the other half that you want space. I imagine what you may be feeling is driven by frustration and thats ok because you are having to do something that feels very alien to you if you are an outdoorsy person if that makes sense.
No pity parties allowed here so gona turn that frown upside down and give us a smile instead.
Sending some hugs your way for now. xxxx
