Overwhelmed!!

Do you ever have one of those weeks days where everything feels so much bigger than it really is? Where you just feel so overwhelmed but you can't quite pinpoint why? I've been having one of those days for a couple days now. It is no fun.

I really do try to be positive & not focus on the negative in my life, but it's been overpowering me lately. Athletes foot sucks & I want it gone. My 2 kitties still aren't getting along perfectly & it's tiring to try & get them to love each other. My tooth has been a pain in the booty for the last few months, so I have been seriously lacking on my housework - so my house is a mess. I've been having that issue with that one family member & it's breaking my heart. Mosquitoes are eating me alive & I'm itchy/miserable all the time.

Last night I had a little melt down. Reese & I were laying in bed about to watch Top Gun [from Netflix], we put it in & it was cracked. So, we couldn't watch it. Then my back cramped up & caused me excruciating pain. That was all I needed to put me over the edge. I broke down & started to cry. Reese was great & really comforted me, but he just didn't know what to do to help me. I didn't know what he could do either. These are all minor silly things, yet they are pulling me down!

Reese finally calmed me down & we took a "life inventory"  & I again realized that everything really is great & I have a lot to be thankful for, so then I felt even worse for feeling overwhelmed & negative! Jeesh. It's been quite the vicious cycle.

So, I got up today & read my scriptures, then sprayed the crap out of my stupid feet with Tinactin, I made the kitties play for a while, I cleaned my bathroom [a deeeeeep clean], did 4 loads of laundry & tried to feel productive & happy.

I guess that's the only thing I can do to stop the overwhelmed & negative feelings. If I just lay around & give into it, it'll never get better. So here's to me trying!

Now I'm going to go get all beautified so Reese & I can go to lunch; he really is too good to me.

Sorry that you are feeling overhwelmed. I'm very easily overwhelmed by things so I understand. Just keep staying positive and it will get better. Sending HUGS and Prayers your way!!

I feel for you darlin'. We've all been there and it's good to vent. There are always going to be days like that and you hit the nail on the head when you said the best medicine is to try to do things that make you feel good (like being productive) and be positive. I sure hope the overwhelming feeling leaves soon. In the meantime, keep reminding yourself that there are other people out there going through much worse. (That always helps me.) Chin up. :)
