Running so low on energy today...

Hello again! I posted below about a text message I received from my XMM the other day. Sitting here in my office it's occurring to me how low my energy level is, and has been, for the past 2 weeks. Can anyone identify????

I was talking to a friend last night who ended a year-long relationship (not an A, just a typical R) about 6 weeks ago and she's feeling the same. Like she wants to sleep all day.

I don't think I'm experiencing depression (unfortunately, I'm all too familiar with what depression feels like) I just feel very lethargic and apathetic. I was supposed to meet with a new client at 10:00 a.m. today and it's now 10:03 and I'm actually excited that maybe she's not going to show!!! I don't feel like doing any work at all, I want to crawl into bed with a good book. I'm reading the Da Vinci Code right now and it's just awesome.

Anyhows, I guess I'm thinking that maybe it takes alot of energy to get over these relationships and stay the course. I just wanted to share with you all, as well. So if anyone has any extra energy, care to send some vibes my way?????? Love, Mo.

<<<<<< I just feel very lethargic and apathetic. >>>>>>>

Any form of emotional strain can land us flat on our backs. Somethimes we just need to take a day off for ourselves to regenerate physically, emotionally and spiritually. Any relationship, in it's ending phase, is depleting. My suggestion, because I am a vitamin freak, is to get "Stress B" caps, and double the dose for a week, then continue taking them forever :) They come in various names, but a good B Complex vitamin will do the trick.

As for a natural remedy for depression or symptoms that resemble them, "St. John's Wart" has done wonders for my moods. Although it takes about 2 weeks for it to get into your system, you will notice that the everyday stresses of life are easier to deal with, and in my case, laughter has returned, even though my heart sometimes gets stuck in "sad" mode. It's fleeting, and I always know it will pass....

We are no good to anyone, if we are not the best we can be for ourselves.

Take care,

True

I feel the same way and I guess like quitting an addiction you have your lows. Just stick in there even though i'm confuse myself and can't stop thinking about MM. I wonder if this happens to them too.

Do you ever wish you could control your thoughts? But as you said one of my friends just ended a relationship and she is going through a rough time and even though i can't tell her i feel the exact same. It's just a healing process, the emotions are the same. There are days that I just don't want to see anyone or talk to anyone and I feel horrible since my H is so supportive and thinks it's just stress from work and does everything to make me feel better only if they knew it's thoughts of another man that's making us feel this way!!!

Hang in there and keep yourself busy. Go out and do something and be around people.
