Funk
Nope, I'm not stinky. I'm IN a funk. And don't know how to shake it. I sorta know at least some of what is causing it, but unfortunately, those things are out of my hands and I'm playing a 'waiting game' (which I HATE!). I mean, I've been working out every day for the past 20 days, and seeing results; you'd think that would HELP! But nope, not really. I'm Depressed. Tired all the time, low focus, apathetic, can't sleep, then sleep restless, short fuse (usually I'm very patient). My stomach's been all out of whack all week and I dunno why.
So yeah. I'm venting. I just wanna sleep for a week. Or go sit on the beach for a week. I usually know what's causing these funks. Maybe I'm just stressed. But if that's the case, I dunno what to do about it. Thanks for listening. I don't feel like talking to H about it cuz I sound like a broken record (the things I'm 'waiting' for have been on and off issues for over a year). Bah humbug. I'm totally scrooge today (this week). I'm not looking forward to the weekend. At all.
Re: Funk
Aww, poor zora. I am sorry you are feeling this way. Will a night out with friends or you H do the trick? I have periods in my life like that, too. I think we all go through it. I know when I get really stressed sometimes my stomach bothers me.
I am with you on the weight loss thing. H and I have been eating healthy (which we always do) and working out 4x a week and I still haven't really dropped any. I drink lots of water and eat healthy, I guess we need to hire a personal trainer or something, lol.
Hang in there girl! Try to get out this weekend and do something you enjoy. I hope you shake this funk soon.

Zora, are you pregnant? :] LOL. JK. Maybe? I'm sorry that you are in such a funk. I hope things get better soon. If you need someone to talk to, I'm here for you. I went through something similar about a month after the wedding so I know what you mean. Maybe you just need to take yourself out, buy a new outfit, or go have a drink with some friends. If I was closer, we could go out on the town :]
Rivs, I would looooove that! But money's a major issue.
Which is def part of what's stressing me out. I can't afford to fly anywhere right now, and I can't afford to take any time off work. Peachy. That = I stay here and the stress keeps adding up. Thanks anyway girl

Aww Z, I'm feeling similar. I think part of it for me is the end of the wedding planning (sad to see it go!) + 4 more weddings to go to, soon, etc. I'm bored.
So I started redoing the house
Refinishing the kitchen cabinets, totally redoing the laundry room, redecorating the dining room... I need fun projects who's results I'm proud/excited to see, you know?

maybe a TMI q: do you often have funks after your period? (could it have been a possible miscarriage? not that you're necessarily TTC and if you are you don't have to out yourself). it could be some issues with your hormones leveling out after they go all nutty- maybe chat with an obgyn about it ...or an herbalist. sometimes periods take a bigger toll than they should. they might want to check your thyroid function or something.
hearts and hugs and stuff. i hope you get out of the funk soon, whatever is causing it.

Girl, im going through the same thing. I work 60+ hours a week and have nothing to show for it. We literally freak out before the mortgage/rent is due... plus our bills are getting paid late, and if anything happens that is unexpected we are screwed.
So I am sure that is why I feel like crap. I think, like hipster said, its because I miss the wedding planning too!
I know that now that H is back to work, and everything will get caught up, things will get better. Im just so sick of working so hard and still being broke. I feel like we cant do anything because of money.
So YES I hear ya on the funk. The new jobs is killing me too... 10 hour work days + long commute, is killing me. I leave the house at 7:30 am and am not home until almost 8 at night... and have to do that M-F. Weekends im working on orders, and there is never enough time or money.
Ugh I wish we could hang out and get wasted lol... at the beach... with riva.
