dancing with myself

If the recent past performance of LJ is any indication, no one but me will ever read this. That's okay, I'm just thinking out loud anyway

I know it won't make the bad feelings go away, but hopefully reminding you that you're not alone in feeling them, especially this time of year, will help at least a little.

Sorry if this is a double post; I'm having trouble getting my reply to show up at all.

Your reminder that my blues are not unusual or unique does help. I almost always feel better when I consider how other people feel - it reminds me that I am pretty lucky, all things considered. : ) Thanks for the kind reply and the perspective!

This time change and early darkness has hit me *much* more powerfully than in the past, and I think that's partly perimenopause and partly the energy of the country and the world, you know? We've talked about this at length, so I know you'll know what I mean. Lately, all I've wanted to do is eat and sleep, except that causes: (a) fatness and (b) frustration, since sleep is fleeting and occasionally dangerous (see, re: perimenopause). I did have an entertaining dream about Nathan Fillion as Captain Mal Reynolds (only older and heavier, more like Castle) working a mall show at Christmas as part of some convention circuit the crew of Serenity were on

That's it - the urge to hibernate. No wonder I find myself behaving like a grouchy grizzly lately. I can relate to the desire to EAT. I finally gave in and had two blueberry toaster waffles this morning. As satisfying as the meal was, it was a temporary pleasure; I felt overstuffed and sluggish almost immediately. At least I can now check eating off the list of possible fixes, right? *eyeroll

Please take a deep sighhh with your exhale now and then to release emotions.

Thank you - I will do that.

Hey, I'm glad you did! It gave me a reason to revisit your wordpress blog, which I enjoyed very much. I think you should continue with it - just my two pence, for what they're worth from a total stranger! : ) Happy New Year!
