I want off now, please

[auntiemeesh]

It was a bad day today, people. Just bad. I'm feeling about as small and useless and worthless as I get. And I can't even allow myself chocolately goodness, which is always at least a small consolation, because then I will have failed yet another thing and become even more useless, though rather less small. Blagh! I hate feeling like this.

So, in honor of the very bad day, I've created a little poll for you all.

I personally feel that talking to a loved one while sharing a long distance cold one is the best option. But killing zombies/space aliens/monsters du jour also sounds like a pretty good mood lifter as well - although I might worry that I would come out of my delirium to realize that the monsters du jour are otherwise known as my pets.

Whatever you choose to do, I hope it helps you to feel much happier soon!

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Talking to loved ones does seem to help, even if all I do is rant and vent and whine for a while. :)

*long distance hugs*

I usually eat some chocolate on my way home for immediate stabilization so that I don't run someone down with my car. Once home I down some cold alcohol and watch some mindless TV until the urge to kill is somewhat numbed by the sludge they call entertainment. When I can control myself enough I crack open the games and proceed to crack open some zombie/monster skulls until the need to destroy is gone. Then to lift my spirits I run a few killer rounds of Guitar Hero. After that, I get to dip my sweat-drenched body into the tub for a nice hot relaxing soak, complete with fragrant tea and soft candlelight. (no biscuits, cuz they'd get all soggy.)

*hugs* You can allow yourself a little chocolately goodness every now and then hon. If you deprive yourself completely it will jump out at you in the middle of the night and force it's way into your mouth.
It's been scientifically proven. *nods*

I like your perk up plan. :)

I only have six more days on the no chocolate or desserts cleansing, and then I plan to allow myself one celebratory dessert of fabulousness before instituting a slightly stricter watch on the sweets (without cutting them out altogether).

I did, however, allow myself to order out and get the greasiest onion rings on the planet. Not even a little healthy, but very yummy, and still obeying the letter of the law.

cold one, choclate, gilmore girls, dogs, and loved ones. And then my all time one size fits all remedy, pull covers over head.
Cheers and luv ya.

If Tookie would let me, I'd do that right now, but she won't, so I won't. It's really quite a pain when your cat rules the roost.

Chocolate, a hot bath, and then my favorite fanfic, the one that is pretty much guaranteed to make me smile no matter how crappy I feel.

I hope you feel better soon, hon. Days like that are no fun.

Chocolate, a hot bath, and then my favorite fanfic

That sounds like a perfect perk up plan. :)

[shirebound]

Tub soak, definitely. Reading warm and fluff fanfic is always good for my blue moods, as is just laying in bed with my eyes closed, thinking about (warm and fluffy) hobbit scenarios.

I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Warm and fluffy fanfic is definitely a great way to cheer up. :)

[dreamflower]

Read about hobbits! Hobbit-fic always makes me feel at least a little better! I may also indulge in a few munchies aa well, though I generally go for crunchy and salty, rather than chocolatey. (Though I might wash the munchies down with chocolate milk.)

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Hobbits and munchies (of either the salty or sweet kind) sound like a perfect combo for combatting the blues. :)

[topaztook.livejournal.com]

Nice cup of tea, although it's generally accompanied by chocolate rather than biscuits. Less crumbs in the book that way. :) Also, if it's dark chocolate, it will perk you up with all those healthful antioxidants! (because they're just jam-packed in that leftover Easter candy, don'tcha know...)

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Mm, tea. I do like a nice cuppa when I'm feeling down. :)

[laurell.livejournal.com]

I just eat. Not biscuits or chocolates. Anything. And plenty of it...

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I tend to do, too. Not necessarily the best plan for accomplishing some of my weight loss goals, but it does make me feel better. :)

[laurell.livejournal.com]

Oh it DOES make one feel better... and to forget the usual crap. But the arrive the Guilt...
And inches upon inches of waist.

[ansostuff.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry you had such an awful day. I hope today is better.

*hugs tight*

Oh and I used to eat, period. But I'm changing that now. I read or sometimes try to write Daniel h/c.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

I'm feeling at least somewhat better today. I'm perhaps being a trifle more passive 'whatever' at work, but otherwise, I'm in a pretty passable mood. It's amazing what even an interrupted night of sleep will do. :)

*hugs*

A really bad day generally has me pouring a tumbler of bourbon, or mixing an ice cold martini.

Or doing something creative, whether it's music or poetry. Something I can disappear into.

I hope your next day is a better one.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Disappearing into something creative always helps, although when I get really down, I get too frustrated with perceived inabilities to truly get much out of it. But definitely, for me, distraction is better than empty time.

I find a heart to heart session with the pets is very therapeutic. Of course, Yuengling is almost always willing to have a cozy up and perhaps owing to her name she counts as a cold one too. Reading fiction also helps me escape. I like LP's solution of pulling the covers over and taking a snooze too.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Since the pets, much as I love them, have been a big part of the stress lately, heart to hearts with them don't soothe me as much as I'd like. Although I still love my morning snuggles with Mal. :)
