Title says it all really. Just feel sad, should feel excited for the new year but just feel incredibly overcome with sadness. Think I'm just scared that this year will be just as bad as the last one. Anyway don't want to bring everyone down. Sorry.

I'm very sorry to hear that and if it helps you're not the only one not feeling good today.

I'm going to try and turn it into a positive and make a list of the things I want to be different this time next year.

Do you have some friends or family you could visit or phone today?

yes make a list of things you can change however small. dcs and I just shared ours. be kind to yourself. hopefully it will be a better year for all of us.

Heres to a better year for everyone. Baby steps to making things better.

If you're like me OP, the morning is the worst time. That horrible waking up/sinking/can't face the day feeling.

But once I've forced myself to get up, I start to feel better as the day goes on. Also as I get things done, however small, I can look back on the day with a sense of achievement. Even if it's only sorting the washing out.

Does any of that sound familiar?

I agree baby steps are the way to go. Are you newly on your own?

Glad you've felt better as the day's gone on. Hold onto that fact if you don't feel too good again tomorrow morning.

How has today been skat?

skat73 · 02/01/2014 20:40

Thanks. Had to work today so no time to feel sad. No actually I feel much better. I know I will feel down from time to time but feel much more positive.
