I'm having a tough time the last couple days...I just don't understand how I can go from having such GREAT days...to being WAY down in the dumps and not wanting to do anything!?!?! I have been reminded of numerous things I have to be grateful for or that I've been blessed with...but that doesn't make my down days any easier...I feel like when I'm so far down I don't see any kind of light...nothing is looking up...and nothing can help me feel better. I don't know...I'm struggling and don't know what to do anymore!?!?!
I have done exercise EVERY day this week...and I know that is kicking my butt...because really...anyone who has known me for awhile...or while I was in high school and since...I did NOT exercise...I was NOT in shape...I have ALWAYS struggled with weight...and so this is still new to me. Even though I've been doing stuff since the end of October...it's still tough for me. I am worn out...I'm exhausted and can't seem to catch up on sleep...but what do I do!?!?! When I'm so down and gloomy...in the mornings, I come into the living room with the kids and sleep off and on until about 10...WASTE of my day...UGH...then I am so incredibly lazy, grumpy, and moody the rest of the day.
I don't know what to do...suggestions would be appreciated...today I went to Ryan's parents house and helped organize the kitchen drawers a bit...and doing that service made me feel better...however the kids didn't all get regular naps and were whiny & grumpy...so that pulled on my patience...which I don't seem to have much of lately. Things are on my nerves ALL the time...Ryan & I can't seem to get along or have much time together...I feel bad doing all this Zumba...but how else can I get any experience or people interested!?!?!
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?????????? I just don't know...feel free to comment and say something that'll make me smile if nothing else!!! Thanks for letting me rant and vent...muchly appreciated :)

Becki!! What you describe sounds so normal for what's going on for you. It's always hard to find balance when we really get into something new and exciting. How does it fit, etc., etc. One of my thoughts about your energy level is, I wonder if you are getting enough good nutrition for all of the exercise you're doing? If you're not feeding your body enough good foods for all of the calories you're burning, it would be normal to drag.
I'm too tired myself to expound anymore (breaking my 9:00 curfew), but wanted to mention what I did above. Hang in there!
This is the answer: Find someone to serve. Find someone to visit who is lonely. Clean someone's kitchen even if yours is messy. Seeing others' problems is the key to perspective. Call your visiting teachees and see how they're doing. That little act will bring you around to thinking more about others and less about yourself. I promise, it works!
I know how you feel. However, on the mornings that I DON'T get out of bed and start my day 1. with scripture study, and 2. a prayer, I feel lousy all day, and I am short with the kids, DH, and probably anyone else that crosses my path. If I FORCE (and sometimes it is literally a matter of force) myself to get up early enough to have some quiet time to read my scriptures and pray, then my day goes MUCH better. Not to say that it then goes perfect, and I am happy and chipper, but it goes better. Also, some days you need to lean on your FRIENDS and ask them to take the kids for you! Love ya Becki, and I am always willing and able to take the kids- when you have four whats a few more? But you do have to ask- so please do!
hey have you had your thyroid checked? Sometimes when you are depressed and are tired your thyroid is off. You should get with your doctor and get it checked, oh and if you make an appointment with your doc make sure to fast because you have to for the test, that way they could just give you the test right then!
