self loathing,anyone else???

anyone have days like this? I have been feeling this way since Saturday night (for no reason of course) I feel like everything i say,do or think is stupid...My DH thinks i sometimes suffer from season depression...Maybe this is why i hate the winterHmm

I even had an especially GREAT day today but can't seem to shake this self hatred...Hopefully, it will pass soonEmbarrassed

Re: self loathing,anyone else???

  • I've had days like this.  Sometimes a good cry really helps me.  A sappy movie is always good to bring the tears on.

  • I'm really sorry you're feeling that way.  Sometimes I have days when just nothing is right and I can't wait to crawl back in bed!  Hopefully this will pass for you soon!

  • I've had many days like that,  it is so easy to beat up on yourself with little to no reason.  Sometimes things just feel blue.  Especially if things are really good,  that little nugget of doubt can do a number on you.   I like to listen to sad music and cry,  I agree it can really help.  Just getting it out can feel so good.
  • I completely sympathize with the way you are feeling bc I can be the same way--especially in the winter.  I definitely have my moments where I hate the way I look, the way I act, my job, my life, etc.  I agree with Sgt. M's wife...sometimes a good cry or pity party helps me move past it. 

    As a result a new "resloution" as a married lady is to try to be content with myself and my life.  I have spent so much time in the past wanting to change myself or my life that I feel like have wasted some really great times in my life wanting more or something in the future.  I am really trying to work on myself and help myself realize that I am the person I am.  I need to love myself, be happy with who I am and what I have and be content with the stage I am in in my life rather than constantly look to the future. 

     Wow, sorry that turned into a rant about how I need to change.  Anyways,  I just wanted to be the "relater" and let you know that you are not alone.  We all have our times of self doubt or self conciousness. 

  • If you cant seem to get out of it in a few days, than maybe you should talk to a therapist. Try to do relaxing things though, take a bath, watch a good movie, spend time with DH right now. Keep yourself around people righ tnow
  •  Are you into working out?  Sometimes getting in a good workout helps you get out of a funk.  Could you get a massage?  Take a weekend trip somewhere romantic with your H?  Go shopping with some girlfriends? 

    I agree that maybe you could go talk with someone if your "funk" is something you can't seem to climb out of on your own.  It might make you feel better. 

  • Krista- now that you mention it...i haven't worked out since Saturday...working out usually makes me feel pretty good about myself...i think i may try and get in a work out after dinner...Thanks

    It may also be that my hormones are most likley unbalanced right now...hence the fact that i haven't had a period in 6 weeks...

  • I would def agree that I get like that when I haven't worked out in awhile.  When your body gets used to having that release of energy and doesn't get it, it usually finds another way to get rid of the energy.  I get so cranky if I haven't worked out.

  • yea, the longer I go without working, the more unhappy I seem to get.  Some of the happiest times in my life were times I was exercising almost every day.

     Interesting....

    Jin's'Wifey--feel free to vent on here.  Sometimes I feel like men just don't get us women and our funks! :)

  • yes. Today I think among other reasons it's due to lack of sleep which I can't seem to force myself to do.

  • I've felt like this often. You're not alone.
