Do you ever just feel "blah?"

Oh, Ellie, that is so cute--"World go away days!" You've pretty much summed the whole thing up, haven't you? And it's true for me also, I'm usually fine the next day. P.S. Wow, your myLot number is really getting high up there! You go, girl!

Hi PearlGrace, I even ignore the phone and think if it is important they will leave a message on these days. Yep my numbers are adding up but I have been very inactive this month really as I hit 5000 in the last week of last month. The puppy is keeping me pretty busy at the moment so a lot less computer time LOL. Been to the beach for two and half hours today, great fun. Huggles. Ellie :D

ShellyB, Sorry to hear you have been feeling blah with the allergies and weather change. Your chili sounds so great! Plus, it's so fun to learn how to knit. I've been knitting now for over 40 years, I learned as a kid, and it's so much fun. I hope you stick with it. You are gonna love it and it's going to bring you many hours of relaxation and productivity. Enjoy. Thanks for emphasizing the importance of making plans to shake the blahs.

It is so cold right now that I am sure it will be a long winter so yes I need plans to keep sane and productive. Thanks for your kind words and I hope this will be a good winter even if it will be spend more indoors thant out. Good luck!

Travel can sure be tough on a person, can't it? It can also be fun but if it's for work, then it probably isn't very enjoyable. Sorry to hear you have alot more coming up. You sound like one busy woman! Hmmm, you make a very good point--when you feel blah, you need to catch up on sleep. At least, you figured out what helps the blahs for you!

I am liking the time I spend at home lately. You sound like you are quite the home body. When I was younger, I didn't really know what that term meant, but now, I find myself saying, "I guess I'm just a home body." Your sweats sound pretty comfortable. Bet you are saving a bunch on gas if you're not going out and about much. Guess I just have moods when I want to get out and about and moods when I want to stay home and do nothing.

Opal, I'm truly sorry to hear you struggle with clinical depression from time to time. That is a tough ordeal for people. I know that some people get the blahs in the fall when the weather changes. That would be pretty difficult to deal with. I can get caught on this computer for long periods of time, too. Lately, I've been more successful at using my time in a variety of ways, so I still get done what needs to be done and have some time left for reading and writing! Thanks for your response, Opal26. I look forward to them. Take care.

Hello glenl62. Well, from the looks of this discussion on myLot, there are plenty of us who get the "blahs" once in awhile. Mine usually last a day and then, they're gone! I sure hope you are not experiencing depression. Check out the responses to this discussion because mylotters shared what they do. Someone mentioned just relaxing and resting for a day but planning to go out the next day. I thought that was a good idea. I'm usually a go-getter so having a "blah" day is not the norm for me. Hope you are already out of your "blah" mood, glenl62. Take care.

It seems that plenty of myLotters experience a blah day here and there. I suspect that the economic downturn might be affecting alot of people's moods. In my case, it passes in a day and I am fine. Sorry to hear that you are struggling financially, that seems to be what alot of people are saying on myLot. I guess we all have to keep our fingers crossed that the economic situation will improve.

That's just it. I have a list of things to do but just don't feel up to it when I'm having a "blah" day. Usually, I wake up the next day and snap out of it. Hope you don't have any "blah" days for a long, long time. Take care.

Hello mrsbrian. I know just what you mean, I'm not depressed either. Just feel a little lazy once in awhile. All I want is to have a day just to hang out and not be productive. Hope you get through your blah days. Thanks and take care.

I like your "stay home and relax" advice. Thank you. It has already passed, so I guess patience figures in to the picture somewhere. And I definitely am not a fan of the heat! Take care.

Hi lilybug. Guess we all have those days once in awhile. I remember when my son was growing up, his pediatrician would tell me, "If he's hungry, he'll let you know." Take care.

MyLotters have had some very interesting responses to this discussion. It seems that perhaps I feel like I need a "lazy" day to do nothing and not be productive. It's nothing like depression, it's just an "off" day. I love to knit also. That's a great way to spend an afternoon! Thanks and take care.

Another myLotter said the same thing--that maybe I just need to rest and relax. I guess that could be so. And I'm always my perky self the next day. It makes sense what you husband says about your medicines. Perhaps fatigue is a side effect of your meds. Anyway, I definitely have learned I'm not alone on this one. Thanks, walijo2008.

Hi chibiXpudding. I know what you mean about regretting what you didn't get done. It's frustrating to think, "gosh, I could have gotten so much done, but instead, I did nothing." I'd much rather be productive. Thanks and take care.
