To waste this beautiful day because I'm feeling really down?

Bit of a rhetorical question and I know I ABU really so just looking for people to give me a bit of a kick up the arse really.

I'm off work, it's warm and sunny and I live in a beautiful part of the country about 20 minutes from some lovely beaches. I have to do some bits in the garden, I have flowers to plant and it's a good day for it. I wanted to do the garden and then go to the beach for a swim and a sunbathe, maybe even watch the sunset.

And yet I am so so miserable today. I just can't drag myself out of bed! I'm staring out at the blue sky desperately wanting to go out and enjoy it and I just can't make myself do it. I'm tired, despite getting a good night's sleep. I have a headache despite taking painkillers. Above all I want someone to talk to and go to the beach with any everyone I know is busy at work. I want to go out anyway but I just can't muster the energy.

Please tell me I'm being ridiculous and if I force myself to go out I'll end up feeling so much better!

I was going to say it’s never ridiculous to be having a rubbish day.
But wowsers, bloody well done for getting up and going out and posting that absolutely gorgeous picture. So glad you went and thank you!

Ah, beautiful! Thank you for the sea view trooble.

(And I totally empathised with your post DH’s I’ve had a few of those days lately and I know that post 4pm is the danger zone where you start saying “Well, it’s too late now...”. But it never really is and it feels so much better to do the thing.
