DOWN IN THE DUMPS –

DOWN IN THE DUMPS –

For the past several days, I have been “down in the dumps”. Without a doubt, I have been low in spirit and sad. I don’t know why. Things are the same for me. Life is moving along with its ups and downs, highs and lows, good and bad, etc. I have been trying to figure out why I feel this way, but I cannot put my finger on it, and I don’t know how to shake it off.

I have learned over the years that I have some empathic abilities in that I can sometimes feel the emotions of others. I do not live with anyone full-time as my youngest is away at college. I am alone more often than not but that is not new. I am working doing what I enjoy and brings me pleasure. I am doing other things that I find fun and entertaining. So, why am I feeling this way and why can’t I get through it with my willpower alone?

I know that I am not the only one who goes through this. Do you have any ideas on how to get through this quickly or do I just have to ride it out?

This, too, shall pass but I want it to pass NOW!!! And if someone IS sending me their bad vibes, I wish they would take them back. I guess that I will try the visualization of a wall between me and (what is supposed to be) the person giving me their feelings but since I don’t know who it is, I will try to put that wall between me and these feelings. Fingers crossed (which makes it very difficult to type this).

I will keep smiling and pushing through to the other side.
