Feeling bummed. I've been in a rut for about 2 months now and don't know how to get out of it. The stuff I normally enjoy, I can't bring myself to do. I am glad I'm back at FS, but that's it. I need to find my happy place again. Yes, there's crap in my life that makes me sad, but so what, everyone has crap they have to deal with. Mine is nothing new, so I shouldn't feel like this. I would say I need a hobby but I don't even want to do the ones I have. Sigh.....

I've found things that help me deal with the stress - notably - food and exercise. I find the exercise bit was a real bore to begin with. Now it's more like, 'It's a day off without lifting? Well, what am I supposed to do now!' Find something, but it has to be something just for you. It's easy to let the day to day suck up all your time, and family is important, but so are you and you're no good to them if you're not together. I'll bet if you look back there was always something you wanted to do as a hobby and you never did it. Do it. Rock climbing is my 'away from lifting' hobby.

I actually used to love going to the gym and doing weights. I've ridden horses for years, make jewelry etc. My problem is with this stupid rut I'm in ,that I don't want to do anything. I know it won't last but it's frustrating and depressing feeling like this. I really appreciate your input though.

Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy is a symptom of depression - perhaps check it out with a doctor? Not for medication - but to be sure it is not a physical issue that could explain your lack of energy. Good luck.

Boy, I am so there with you. We wouldn't be human if we could deal with the crap without it effecting us. We'd be super heroes or angels. I have two beautiful weaving projects on the looms right now. I love to weave. I can't make myself do it. How sad. We'll work through it. It just takes a little time. Hugs!

Well I do know that my iron is low ( I'm on pills for that) and my B-12 is low and have to go for shots every 2 weeks. I'm hoping that's all it is.

Joanne, check into gluten sensitivity. I was doing both of those before finding out I was a celiac. My blood and iron levels eventually got so low that, not only did I have to have bi-weekly B-12 shots, but transfusions, as well. Good luck!
