Help cheer me up on a shit mental health day

[Muffintopper]

Just one of those days really. You feel like everyone is annoyed at you, work has been a twat show and to top it off, I've not even had a pancake 😭your best instant cheer up tips would be lovely 😊

You could make a pancake now

Sorry you are feeling like this

What do you enjoy doing? If it’s getting into pjs and hiding in bed for a few hours make it happen! If it’s binge watching a box set with a takeaway, do it!

If you need to turn your phone off and hide from the world for a while go for it. There’s no shame in putting yourself first for a few hours.

So I think the first thing to do is to make it very clear to yourself that you haven’t ALWAYS felt like this and you won’t always feel like this.
imagine if a sister or a mate told you what you just told us and then treat yourself accordingly xx
For me it’s hermit mode, food in bed (I know, I know) and those you tube meditation / hypnosis sleep things. I like the sleep, anxiety and confidence ones. The point is….. You can’t look after anyone or anything if you’re not looking after yourself so Just commit to LETTING YOURSELF OFF THE HOOK (even if it is just for an hour ) 🙂🙂💫🌺💫 xX

Do you like cats? Here's a pic of my friend's kittens. 😊

Warm and fluffy pjs on, bucket of ice cream in your hand and favourite movie or show in the telly.⭐️⭐️

This feeling will soon pass 🤗 I always think, will it matter in two weeks time? Try to shift your mind to the things that make you feel happy and celebrate all the things that have gone right, little or large x

The days are getting longer and soon it will be Spring.

Pancakes aren't all they're cracked up to be. I got over excited, ate six and now I feel sick. Hope you feel better soon OP

Op I'm sorry you are feeling like this. Would playing some music help??? ELO mr blue sky always cheers me up ❤️

There was a thread about the Canaries and heated pools, I was bored and googled.

This might make you smile & roll your eyes...

As I finish reading your post, 16yo DS has just come into the living room with a huge bowl, laughing, cos he's tried to mix just flour & eggs together with a large, very sturdy & heavy whisk so the entire mixture is now a solid lump inside it.

As I finish THAT sentence, he's called through 'mum...you don't add all the milk at once do you..'

To which I reply 'no you don't! But you have...haven't you...'

The response was a slow & faux-innocent 'no?'

I can hear it, I can hear him attempting to mix 600mls of cold milk with a solid lump of eggs & flour. It's just slopping round the bowl!

So whatever we have for dinner, I highly doubt any normal human would call them pancakes. If you're in the Cornwall area you're more than welcome to pop round & have...well...some of whatever the Fuck these things are going to be 🤦🏼‍♀️

Alternatively, if my misery isn't enough to make you smile a little bit then I'd opt for some Taskmaster & a really good cup of tea.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to decide whether it's worth destroying a sieve or starting again. He did declare it was not weaponised incompetence but I have my doubts...

I LOVE cats 🐈 😻

This made me laugh out loud 🤣 bless him! Hope you enjoyed them in the end 🤣🥰

Another cat pic for you
9 week old kitten Finlay and now 7 months old cuddle monster - he knows when I need tlc

Thanks all you lovely ladies for your tips and kind words 😘 I went round to my mum's and had a couple (ok 3) pancakes, now home cosy in bed. Definitely feel better after my day of foot-in-mouthitis

Glad you got pancakes in the end & your day ended up better 😊

It's nearly bedtime, OP so how are you feeling now?

Dog training was hilarious tonight- we are talking the bottom class of the basic foundation course. Mix of ages, breeds and owners. One dog got loose and ran around in circles winding up the other dogs. My boy stole a piece of training equipment but ignored the treat inside it. Another dog got so tangled in his lead when learning a trick he fell over and lastly, another one peed up the wall, twice. 😆 🤣 😂

I took my youngest DD with me tonight, she's 6, and my DH and DM (DM lives alone) made pancakes with my eldest DD9 and listened to 80s music.

What did you have on your pancakes? What you up to tomorrow? Any chance you can sneak in a wee treat for yourself- walk and a coffee? Lunch out? Hope you sleep well, OP!

Ahh that sounds suspiciously like my family dog 🤣she's a cockapoo so extra cheeky! Thank you so much for your warm reply, I had lemon and sugar one my first lot and then chocolate spread and banana on my 2nd (and 3rd)
