I have a hard time admitting this, I would much rather be cheerful and post more positive topics. But I really did have one of those days where I would have rather left work and hid out in my room to have a good cry...over God knows what, because it's nothing in particular, just feeling emotional and vulnerable.

Normally I wouldn't put myself "out there" if I'm feeling emotional and vulnerable, but my dear wonderful friend rosie suggested it, so I decided to just do it.

It all started way before work, probably due to lack of sleep, but the trigger for my emotional meltdown was a couple of nasty guests and one of my co-workers not agreeing with me about something. I maintained my dignity and went to the office. The Director of my department was there, she's very spiritual and into energy healing kind of stuff. When I'm around her, I can't act like everything's okay...and sure enough, I couldn't this time either. I ended up starting to cry and a whole lot of bottled up thoughts and feelings came flooding out.

Instead of letting me go home, she took me for a golf cart ride around the island. We visited the marina, watered the golf cart, went to a little beach and just sat there until I was able to ground myself. She gave me a Rose Quartz to carry with me throughout the day. I told her I wanted to go home, but needed to stay. I was given the option of leaving if I needed to but after an hour, not sooner.

I made it through the day and left at the usual time, it gave me more of a feeling of empowerment than the defeated feeling I would have had if I left.

I guess I'm rambling and don't know if this makes any sense. I guess I just needed to write about it because sometimes I feel all alone in the world, in the sense that, I, at times have an extremely emotional day for no specific reason other than just being tired, and maybe needing some tender loving care, or a hug.

Anyone else ever feel this way? Or have any of you ever just had a sucky day?

Thanks for sharing your emotional experiences and what you are learning. I hope you find friends and if necessary a caring counselor to help you navigate your emotions with less anxiety and stress. Your openness is wonderful and needs to be internalized as well as being more interactive with others so you can feel more connected and not as isolated as you described. I am touched you felt strong and shared how your day went and that you take more proactive steps to gain more comfort with your emotions/ Again, thanks for sharing as too many keep too much bottled up and then have meltdowns and other reactive behaviors..

I think you need lots of hugs today, pisces.

Hey everyone, let's give pisces lots of hugs!!!





... btw, I'm have a good day... now tell me to go jump off the cliff... hey no pushing

love ya my dear friend

Sorry your day sucked "bigly" Pisces

And yes, Ive definitely had days like that when nothing feels right even though there is nothing particularly wrong .

And I suspect you are like me and talk yourself out of your funk on those days.

... But then there is that occasional day when all the self motivational talks, and all the self help CDs and DVDs in the world cant penetrate the dark haze around you.

Oh yes.

I TOTALLY RELATE .

Hugs Hugs and more hugs to you sis

I'd only tell you to jump off a cliff if I were going to jump with you!

Thank you my dearest friend rosie. I love you and I'm so glad you're having a good day.

Hey pisces darling, adonis is here and is showing off his package... that should make you laugh

You're so right peggy. Thank you, I don't feel so alone now. And I have a new sis now....Hugs to you too

Thank you for commenting sybar and for your advice. How about you? Ever have one of those days?

Not anymore...someone must have reported him

Sorry you feel that way adonis, but I am glad you covered up!

Yes, I've had days like that too. Kudo's to you for posting about your feelings and nice to hear that you have a decent and caring Director. My former Supervisor would have just used my emotions / feelings against me to his advantage. Have a wonderful weekend. Mark

How crap is a Friday on your own just want some company and know it will be the same all weekend

I don't know why we get in our heads that in order to be grown ups in this world we are supposed to always put on a happy face
shoulder the load, nose to grind stone and just keep on a trucking
think that is why we tend to have those kind of days
maybe things have been kind of bugging us for awhile
like a tag on a shirt that is sticking you in back of neck
but instead of stopping and acknowledging it for what it is..
well we have a tendency to ignore it


lack of sleep may have made you more vulnerable
I know I get down right cranky when I am like that
but ..also

there are times when I feel weepy and when that happens
I stop and allow the feelings to come
we are human after all

Thanks Mark, my employers are very supportive, that's one of the reasons I stay even though it's far away.

You have a wonderful weekend too

It might not be the same, but you have all of us in the forums

pisces, speaking of jumping off the cliff....

Three men find a magic lamp. They rub it, and the genie pops out.

The genie says "I'm not as easy as the other genies you may find. So in order to get your wish, you have to jump off that cliff over there while shouting what you want to become."

The first man leaps off the cliff and shouts "Millionaire!" He lands gently into a Rolls-Royce and is driven to his new mansion to begin a life of luxury.

The second man jumps and yells "President!" and is scooped up by Air Force One and flown to the White House.

The third man trips over a rock, stumbles over the cliff and yells "Oh crap!"


(it was supposed to be chit with an s but the puter didn't like it)

You're so right TMommy, and thanks for reminding me we are all human. In the past I normally would allow myself to just let the feelings come. For some reason I stopped, but it's time to start again, don't like having meltdowns in front of people.

OMG Blondey....you are too funny! Next time I'm feeling sad, I'll just think of life as a penis They'll think I'm a little bi-polar at work...one minute crying and the next cracking up laughing. But, that's okay, I've been there for two years today, they ought to be used to me by now.

Nice to know about the moon. I felt great when it was full...strawberry moon...sucks it only lasted a short time, lol. Makes sense though.

Thanks Blondey
