LostInTurn Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 When I woke-up today, I felt ok. Now I feel slightly ill. I keep thinking about all the negative when my mind turns to sad thoughts. I'm afraid though. I have so many great friends. I've been talking with and spending time with friends I haven't spoke with for awhile. They do make me happy, don't get me wrong. I just don't want to conceal it. This is exactly why I didn't want to go to sleep. I need yesterday's mindset back pronto!
bboy Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 The blood sugar and serotonin are on their daily low when you wake up. Force yourself to smile, have a descent breakfast, go out on a fast walk and then occupy your brain with something. You'll be neutral at lunch. If you can't keep the thoughts positive. Set a time a bit later where you can think about the thoughts you have now. Book it in your calender. Grief time. 30 Minutes of obsessive thinking. Something tells me, you'll pretty soon forget about the grief time...
Author LostInTurn Posted August 24, 2010 Author Posted August 24, 2010 I certainly hope you're right. That's why I logged on here. I don't want to think about it. I need to get up and start my day. I felt bad when I woke-up this morning. Like I wanted to send a stupid email. I kept thinking about in a few weeks he'll want to talk. I just don't want to think that way.
BeagleGal Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 bboy, good points and advise! Lost: You tried to comfort me last night when I was feeling sh*tty and down and I will try to comfort you... Believe me, I know what you are going thru with the negative feelings, the forced smile, the obsessive thinking about the ex and all that's happened... Don't send him emails or texts, you will regret it and feel worse. Just leave him be. I try to remind myself daily that my ex isn't worth my tears or precious brain cells I waste on him. Neither is yours. Try to keep distracted as much as you can. Read, continue seeing your friends, workout, maybe make a list of short-medium term goals that you'd like to achieve. I say this because this is what I have to do in order to stop feeling lonely and sad and it helps some. Its all about us now. The blood sugar and serotonin are on their daily low when you wake up.
