Losing It

I feel like I am spiraling out of control lately, and I am not quite sure why. 

I have a job I adore. I have a family I love. I have a house that I can still afford the mortgage on, and I have money left over after paying the bills at the end of the month. 

I honestly cannot pinpoint what exactly has made me feel like I am spiraling, that makes it so I cannot sleep at night, and then am as exhausted as hell all day long. The bags under my eyes are big enough to carry every item in COSTCO to Istanbul and back in. 

Is it my lack of being able to find a church? Is it my inability to say no to everyone and everything? Is it the fact that I haven't been alone with my husband anywhere since we went to Hawaii? 

Or am I losing my ever loving mind?

Oh girl, I get that way too. You're just probably overwhelmed at the moment and are going Mach III with your hair on fire all the time. You're probably finding it hard to come down after all of that!! And LEARN to say no. It's very freeing. :) (I still sorta suck at it, too, though) xo.

It's probably that you're human. I think we all get this way sometimes.

Plus, don't forget to add the womanly-bits issues into the whole thing!

I agree with all of the above. Add in this horrible winter and I can say that it's a minor miracle I havent' strangled anyone (or myself for that matter).

My cheer-you-up kind of friends say things will get better soon and for once I hope they're right.

Hang in there!

Well, keep trying to find a church, say no to everyone for at least a week, go on a date, and if you still feel rotten... well yeah, it must be your mind going!

Or it could be the weather. I bet all that crazy snow is melting into depressing mush - could that be it?

Nah, you're mind is not going! (Didn't you lose that long age? Ha, kidding!)

Could be all of the above (church, busy, lack of holiday.) Hang in there. 42 days and a kayak, I tell ya.

"Long AGO," not "long age." MY mind is going.

I know how you are feeling. I am getting over the flu, and I have this overwhelming PANIC that something is really wrong. I can't shake it. Dread like I left the iron on, but I don't use the iron... I think it is late Winter doldrums, and the kids we have, and the economy. But you aren't alone in your feelings.
