How to snap out of bad humour

[Woodlandbelle]

I know we are all fed up buy I can't shake this off for the past few days. Its not helped by dh getting on my nerves singing etc while I end up doing all the cooking and sorting as usual. So today he makes an effort to do something to improve the suitation and is peeling veg so he is trying.
It's just the boredom. Also I admit a bit of jealously of a relation who bought something I can't and will never afford.
Which is not a nice trait. I don't have much of a social life or anything outside of home / work. But I don't want my Sunday ruined too. Any advice.

Try farting😉 worked on poster who just snapped and farted!

Try vit D, it sometimes helps my mood. I had an awful dream last night that I still haven't shaken off and I am about to pop one in myself.

Gratitude practice often gets me out of a bad mood

Don't know if it will work for you if DH is part of the problem but what helps me is to tell my DH:
"I'm feeling rotten today. I'm just grumpy and cross and I don't really have a reason to be."

He's normally good at giving me a hug and maybe suggesting something nice to do to cheer me up. But just me acknowledging how I feel out loud to someone helps me feel more in control.

Other ideas:

Get out for a walk on my own

Go see my mum or a good friend

Have a bath in the middle of the day

Have a really good cry. Give into it. Be miserable and dramatic. Cry it out.

I find it very useful to try to accept that these feelings - jealousy, anger, frustration, ennui - are as much a part of our lives as all the rosy feelings and as much a part of us as the odd mole or extra tyre. We can try to get rid of these to an extent and we can definitely try to make sure they don’t overwhelm us - but I think I find it more useful to just observe these feelings and accept that this is how I am, or how life is, within reason and there wi be times I am sad. Feeling like I must shake it off and then getting frustrated that I can’t just augments the suffering I think.

However, I’m about two years into significant mindfulness practice on a daily basis so that possibly has changed my outlook a bit

To add when I’m feeling like this I do a range of things to soothe and comfort me - many of which PP have already listed - but I don’t do it with the explicit aim of Project Make Bad Feels Go Away but rather - I’m feeling bad these days and that’s hard so I’ll soothe myself a bit through it. There’s a difference I find if I shift the focus to “look after myself through a low patch” as opposed to “get rid of and leave low patch ASAP”

I think I make a rod for my own back and get taken for granted. Do this week I won't leave meals cooked for dh as he works from home and I am at work. Then it gets taken for granted. But he's not lazy. Dors all the 'man' jobs. Bin lawn etc but I am just so bored of him not knowing what to eat.
I have to suggest activities as he's boring at times. Also he is a bit mean with money and that annoys me too. But they are not big things.i just look at other people married to men who pay for everything when I was the main earner yet also did everything at home for years and years. But he did make an effort today.

I felt so annoyed recently that I screamed until my throat hurt (I wasn't in the sistine chapel).
I was driving alone at the time so nobody knew. It was very cathartic, I recommend a scream-drive.

Dont worry op, the married women whose men pay for things often don't get a lot of choices in what they buy .

You need to borrow a dog and go somewhere different. Maybe a sculpture park or a wood? Plants and trees throw out feel good chemicals and the exercise will help
