Am I the only one....

[TicklishSinner]

I know everyone has bad days...but has anyone ever had one of those days to where it is worst than just a bad day?? Everything you do, say, hear, every telephone call made or recived brings nothing but terrible news, everyone you talk to?? Those days where it is so bad you just wanna break down and cry because not one good thing can be good or even just ordinary..Maybe I am the only one that has had days like this where it is so damn frustrating that GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! What does anyone else do when days like these occure, ya know the ones where it is usually better to stay in bed, but bad things still happen??

Those days where it is so bad you just wanna break down and cry because not one good thing can be good or even just ordinary...

*I hold you close & rock you gently, patting you.* Little One, it's going to get better, believe me - change is a certainty.

Meanwhile, let it loose & cry - that is so good for you because it washes out the sadness and relieves the pressure. I'll hold you while you do.

Love,
Button

I had one of these days yesterday. At work this whole week, I've been focusing my attention on my billet, which is being in charge of Embark, since we've got a big inspection coming up. My maintenance chief got on my case about stuff that's been neglected in the work section (skeletons in the closet that I'm still finding after taking over this section.) and demanded an immediate response to that situation. I've only got two guys that work for me. The reliable one is getting out, and the other needs to be babysat and told exactly what to do, otherwise he won't do anything. To add to the mix, a guy who's assistance I'll need probably more than anybody else this coming week is going on leave, and he left me with all his tasks. Next week is the last week we'll have to prepare, but the majority of the week will be wasted on parade practice for a change of command ceremony that's coming up. Trying to be in three places at once has been making me want to snap and just drop everything. Unfortunately, the mission must be accomplished, there is no option of failure or quitting, and there's not enough people to take up the slack. To sum it all up, I am NOT a happy camper, right now.

Aye, in fact I think I've had one of those days every day for the last... carry the one, 29 days in Feb that year, add the crisis you first thought of.... year and three months by my reckoning.

As for what you can do, there's two options: Stay in bed, unplug the phone, put a fireaxe through the doorbell, tape the letterbox shut, draw all the curtains, stick some of your favourite music on the stereo and (if at all possible) curl up witb a partner. OR go out and do something that you KNOW is pretty likely to end in tears whenever you do it. That way it doesn't screw up another day when you're feeling good AND if you get away with all your limbs you can feel the horrid run of bad luck is gone!

It really does suck when you have one of those days but if it helps you're certainly not alone.

I feel for you.

I'm coming out of a slump of bad days and today was questionable! I'm pretty certain I came out ahead!~ 😉

My advice...let off some steam by crying, screaming, getting a massage, SOMETHING to draw out the tension.

A warm cup of something to drink and a quiet room where you can realign your thoughts to the positive.

Works for me.

Hope it works for you...and I hope your weekend is better!

I find that some heavy ale and Miles Davis work best to help me relax after a particularly cruddy day.

*HUG*

Like the others, I feel for you sweetie.. My day today in fact sucks.. trying to get a visiting friend though sexual ( and finacee) induced guilt, and plans to celebrate another close friend's birthday over here at my house fell flat , work bugging the hell out of me and ruining my vacation, myriad family promlem and last week what would have been my 7th wedding anniversary .Not to mention worries and fears about an upcomming trip and jsut the general deprssion I feel all the time,and not being able to be with the one I love due to distance.

I know you're pregnant so you can't do this right now, but for me I often take out my agression and disappointment physically, playing hockey or running or working out,something to get the endorphines pumping.

Baring that, if you feel in the mood for others, call a good friend, have lunch or coffe with them( My frmale friends and I do that a LOT). Do something you like to do, whether it is reading, drawing , writing or jsut watching a movie you like. Meditation , lighting scented candles and like BOFH stated music is always good therapy. I go from moshing to Metallica, to salsaing to Latino Freestyule, to zoning out and meditating with New Age and Celtic music.

You're lucky that you have Jester and little lass as well. Don't forget to count your blessings.

*HUG* I wish you well hon and at least you have a lot of bright points in your life,and if you can, celebrate them and focus on them instead of the negative.

And know you have friends, nto the least of which are here!

Flatfoot, Even tho I only work in the auto inustry I know what you mean about having to spread yourself thin, and with your line of work( the Military) it must be doubly stressful. Just try to look ahead to brighter things. That and try to keep sane.

BOFH.. powerful solutions ye got, man but there have to be at least a few bright spots comming into your life. NEVER give up hope!

 

[steph]

Awwwww Jen...

I had one of those all week! Two of my favorite patients died but that's just a start, I won't bore you w/the rest...Don't forget, you're hormones are in overdrive right now, you'll feel EVERYTHING more intensely. Make sure you're getting enough rest honey and if all else fails, go west little Mama, the pool's sparkling clean and I've got a killer new float with your name on it...

XOXO

 

[TicklishSinner]

ok i thought i was the only one who had days like those and maybe my hormones were going bizerk from the pregnancy, thank you for the suggestions and for your concern and I feel for all of you as well when these days occur..always remember even if you dont know me and you had a day like i had i am more than willing to listen..thank you all again now i know i am not alone!

 

[TKpervert]

BOFH, LMAO !!
Flat, yup that's the military. BTW what's a billet, I thought it was the current roof over your head, be it a barracks, house, whatever.
Steph, you are just so nice.

Yup I've had those days but I shrug them off. I tell myself 'Yesterday was pretty cool, today was the pits, tomorrow will be better'.

Also it's nice to wake up and discover that the grass is still the right color.

(Looking at pretty green grass instead of dirty brown roots).

 

[Knox The Hatter]

I've had many days like this. For me, it's all part and parcel of Life.
One thing's for sure, you'll never walk alone 🙂

 

[steph]

Awwwwwwwwwww...

Thank you sweet TK...(It's my blessing and my curse 😀 ) Actually, I've come to see her as kind of a little sis...

XOXO

BOFH, LMAO !!

[leafstk]

Sorry to hear about your troubles, Smurfie, it will pass. You are certainly not alone, as you can see. 😀 I have rotten days all the time, unfortunately, but you learn to live through the good and the bad. That crazy roller coaster called life 🙄 You know I'm pullin' for ya Smurf, you are gonna be a great Mom! 😀

Sorry to hear of your troubles too, Ghostie 🙁 Sounds pretty rough, but I'm sure you'll persevere 🙂 Don't be afraid to say hi sometime, miss ya 🙂

Billeting is the barracks and whatnot. A billet is a side-job/title, i.e. Toolroom NCO. I happen to be in charge of Embark. Before I go off on a tangent, I now return you to your regularly scheduled, threading... or... posting, or ummmm.... throasting.

 

[Double T]

You and Jester, as all other TMF members, are always in my prayers! Hang tough, darlin'. You can do it! I'll keep a positive thought for ya!

 

[Mitchell]

Hunny, I feel for you, and if you need to talk, you can always PM me or pc if we're on chat or even IM me MRC12370 if youre on or email me at the same addy at AOL. Iam here to listen.
Iam sure I've had days like you've had, but with me it seems to go over a longer period of time, say a year or more where nothing goes right. Remember how last year I posted on here that my mom had her cancer scare, and then soon after my father had his heart situation. Well, after that as you know, I had to close my business and now he and I are estranged, so it's been over a year now of just GRRRR with nothing going right. What I do in bad times, and what I suggest you do if times get rough, is to just try and lose yourself in the things you enjoy, such as time with jester, TMF if you choose and whatever else off here gives you pleasure. I often times love to go to the movies, and I can just lose myself in the story for two hours, and forget about business problems, or family crap, or whatever else happens to be wrong. It does help. When you have these bad days, and we all do, just try and engage in the things you enjoy. It can help you get through the rough times. I hope it helps, and again, if you need to talk further, Iam here for you. Take care.

Sinner sweetie. I have to say , no matter HOW bady your day gets, you are blessed with Jester and he with you(and you BOTH with your little lass).


May the both of you always feel as strongly for eachotehr and be as happy as you are now

[the_Baron]

a day without happy smurfs is like a day without an orgasm.

or something like that.

well, it sounds like you will be just fine, and that you are even coming out of "it".

yesterday wasn't particularly good for me either. but i have come to realize that we aren't guaranteed happiness, and also that most unpleasantries aren't life threatening.

of course, a healthy mix of mood altering medications can really lift your spirits. but you'll have to wait till after the baby for that.

in the meantime, tuck yourself in nice and cozy like, and wake up in september!

😉

 

[ticklisharmpits]

May make you feel better

On days like that, it may help to tell yourself, 'I only made 2 mistakes today: 1. I woke up
2. I got out of bed



Feel better? 🙂

 

[ticklisharmpits]

Sorry

I wasn't trying to make light of your situation. I know days like that are crazy. But things always get better. They will for you too.

 

[TicklishSinner]

Things have gotten so much better!!! thank you all!!

 

[ticklisharmpits]

Hell?

Is there a Hell, Arizona? Or is that just a joke? (On where you live). I've been to Hell, Grand Cayman! My brother said 'Ya know all those times you told me to 'go to hell? Well, here we are!" 🙂
