Me, Lately

Spring is in the air here in Central Iowa! I hate to even speak of the amazing weather we are having for fear that I may jinx it and we’ll soon be sent back into the sub-zero hell that is the Midwest winter.

The weather change couldn’t come soon enough… my inner self just hasn’t been itself lately. I fell into a small spat of depression last week. It just overcame me last Sunday. I was sad. Not tearfully sad, but just sad in a way that everything I thought about was wrong in my life and that it wasn’t going to change. My husband and I are always open and so I told him how I was feeling and in the best way he knew how he tried to tell me it would all turn around and be okay. I believed him, but I still felt sad. It helped talking to my BF last week over the phone. The almost 2 hour conversation about EVERYTHING in life helped me to come out of the comma I was experiencing.

The feeling of sadness left me on Friday night. I don’t know what changed but maybe I just decided not to be so pessimistic about life… I don’t wear that characteristic well. Optimism has always fit me much better. I also think that the 58 degree sunny Saturday we had thawed me out a bit too. Not to mention a little care package I received from said BF in the mail. I think we all go through these feelings, we are human. Talking about them and gaining support I need around me during those times is what pulls me out.

I don’t want to use this space for only sad parts of my life but I’ve also always been real here. This is a part of my life I’m struggling with and so if you can stick with me I promise to post more “uplifting” things ahead.

Post I am looking forward to:
