Hi Jeannette. Even though you may only post once in a while, don't feel so bad. I love to read your blogs and see how life is going. So, know that you also add something special to others' lives. To answer your question about getting out of a funk, I know it's silly, but puppies ALWAYS do it for me. Little puppy kisses and wriggling little tails just happy to say, hey, how are you, where have you

Dr. GorillaSushi says it's seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Take a day to watch a bunch of the saddest movies in existence (I'm talking Bambi here) then go out and get drunk at a place where you're the coolest person in the spot because you're the only one not trying.

Chocolate and coffee also help.

When I'm feeling dumpy or depressed I usually know why I feel that way, then I change it. If I don't know why I go on a bike or cycle ride with my mp3 player. Getting out away from people with only music helps me a lot. Try that Jeannette. Hop in your car and go for a drive through someplace you really enjoy. Don't forget your Man Man and Tim Fite cds! You can always call/text/email your

Sometimes just being nice to someone else helps me get out of a funk. Seeing their happiness at little actions I have made makes me appreciate the little good little things going on in my life.

Do something to help someone else. Paradoxically, it ends up helping you.

This is so good, it's almost guaranteed!

sorry, kid. i'm gonna quote my former counselor and throw that question right back at you:

"what do you need to actively do to get yourself out of this funk, for today AND tomorrow?"

I go shopping. Preferably for clothes or personal care items (AKA WALGREENS!). I have no idea why, but it works.

Also, chocolate. Lots and lots of dark chocolate.

I've been feeling the same way lately, so I just signed up for a sewing class. I can't figure out how to turn on my sewing machine (a gift), but I thought doing something out of my ordinairy routine would be a good pick-me-up.

2008-12-30T16:00:00.000-06:00

I hang out with my girlfriends. Even when I don't feel like planning it. Even if I don't really feel like being around anyone. It usually helps.
