Trying to Get Pregnant

In a total funk

I need an attitude adjustment, and fast!  What do you girls do to get out of a funk (that doesn't involve money because now I'm cash poor)?

Re: In a total funk

  • Wine. For real though, you do not have AF yet! And no spotting today? That's great news, right?

  • I listen to really upbeat music that makes you want to dance. image
  • I take an afternoon on the couch watching awesome old movies like The Goonies or The Princess Bride. It lets me feel totally self-indulgent without costing a penny.

    Sorry you're in a funk Glow!
     

    Dear Bump: You suck.
  • i organize or clean something, usually my condo. for some reason if i clean, organize, get rid of things for Good will, etc. i feel cleansed and refreshed.

    sometimes i make a list of goals too and that helps. even just short term things.

  • Sorry your in a funk.... I usually drive around with my favorite music blasting and I sing along...
  • I usually go for a walk or go window shopping (no need to buy anything, just try stuff on).  Something that gets me out of the house doing something else.   I find when I'm in a funk I need a total change of scenery.

  • Ugh!  Sorry--I know how you feel!

     I listen to upbeat music--the cheesier the better.  I will force myself to do yoga.  For some reason that Meryl Streep musical, Mamma Mia, always makes me smile.

     If those fail, I hole up someplace with a good book and dive into a bag of chips and avoid the world for a few hours.

    Hope you feel better!

    BTW--your chart is looking good :-)

  • Going to volunteer at the Humane Society always makes me feel good about myself and accomplished. I go 4-5 days a week in the summer for an hour and 40 minutes each day. I clean the kitty cages, make sure they have food and water, and then cuddle them.

  • Take a nap or exercise. (Mostly exercise... get those endorphins up.)  I know that is on both ends of the spectrum but they both seem to help me when I'm in a funk.

  • I second watching you fav movie!!

    Also, call your mom, or DH, or someone and just tell them you love them!! Saying it to someone else always makes me feel better!!

  • I watch my favorite movie "Across the Universe"!  Or I just listen to music that I love and sing along to it.

    I'm not allowed to volunteer anymore at animal shelters.  I did once, and came home with a cat.

     I'm a sucker for animals.

  • I do something fun with DH. Like sit around and talk about when we first met. Last night we spoke for hours about what it was like to first be naked around each other, it was fun! Sometimes we look at old photos or whatever. You can pick a favorite wedding pic and have it enlarged. Or bake something with  lots of chocolate in it!
  • I also look at old pictures. They bring a smile to my face.

  • i go to yoga

    if i'm in a major funk i stay for 2 classes

    I have a good cry and go to yoga too. That's why today will be the second day in a row I go to Vinyasa Flow.

    Glow, I am in a funk too. If you need to talk, I am here for you. *Muah*
