I have to confess, I haven't been feeling like myself lately. I have felt uninspired and unsettled, so you can blame the recent lack of blog posts on that. I feel so many things right now that it's shocking I haven't gone completely crazy. My mind feels restless. Like I'm trying to come to some kind of conclusion but I don't even know what that conclusion would be about. Almost like my brain is trying to master up a fantastic idea but it just hasn't reached it yet, and it won't stop spinning around until it has found it. How is that for some Monday morning pondering?
I also feel frustrated. Frustrated at the fact that I cannot figure out what it is that I'm trying to conclude, but also at my brain for just being how it is. Sometimes I wish I could just get amnesia and start fresh with a new brain, not remembering how I used to think and how wild my mind was. My anxiety has been really bad lately. I'm becoming more and more agoraphobic and I just want it to stop. I want to not worry and I want to do adventurous things. It's extremely annoying when your own mind won't let you do either.
I'm giving myself a headache.
I have been feeling quite the same. I've been able to occupy myself by tearing apart a My Little Pony, but I've been feeling uninspired, too. I'm worrying a lot about my dreams of being a published writer, too. I feel like I'm putting all this work in, and I've done a good job, but the uncertainty of whether I'll make something of it or not is getting to me. I can work as hard as possible, but I can't guarantee anyone will want to take a risk by signing me up, and being stuck at home every day looking after my disabled mother means my life isn't moving at all.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to look in new directions, and to stop over-complicating things. I found it helped to just pick up some random craft material, one I hadn't used in ages, and just play with it, and stop worrying if the outcome isn't what I hope it to be. Taking out how crap you feel on air-dry clay could be just what you need - it's been working for me!

DeleteI hope you feel better very soon, try to take one day to yourself don't think of work or others things that bothers you, read a magazine, watch your favorite movie, get some sleep, you know have one day just for yourself, so you can feel renovated with new ideas : )

ReplyDeletei know the feeling — but better to take time to center and rediscover your joy than to produce a bunch of uninspired posts just for the sake of posting. you are appreciated! xo.
ReplyDeleteHoping you feel better soon. Came across this poem the other day and knew the feeling well:
ReplyDelete"Perhaps I am no one. True, I have a body and I cannot escape from it. I would like to fly out of my head, but that is out of the question." -Anne Sexton
Take the time you need and care for yourself. <3

Aw.
ReplyDelete:-(
I'm sorry to hear you've been feeling this way (I kind of have, too...I'm blaming southern hemisphere winter) and I'm sending oodles of good vibes your way. Take time for yourself and allow yourself to feel crappy because experiencing it makes it pass quicker, is what I find.
This too shall pass.
::thumbs up::
XOXO
Cute shirt! :)

i LOVE this tee and these photos. gorgeous. i hate when i feel down and uninspired - there are many days i come home and i want to focus on my blog and my other projects, but my mind won't do anything and i end up just laying on the floor or watching tv mindlessly. the worst. i hope you get out of the funk soon!
