Observations

[Sheldon]

Well, I haven't been feeling too well lately, getting up in the morning not
feeling well, anxious, a little depressed and sleeping late. I'm
semiretired, self-employed and run an ad in the paper for my business.
Things have been a slow so I was a little nervous when someone called
wanting my services this morning. So, I loaded up the car and off I went.
Got to their house and as soon as I walked through the door I felt great.
Did my thing. Had a great time. Met some nice people. Got some fresh air.
Went out to lunch. Maybe the answer to my problems is a full-time job.

Anyway, I guess what I learned was sitting around thinking about "stuff" is
absolutely the worst thing you can do, unless you work for a think tank, of
course. :-)

Be well everybody.

That's a great story, Sheldon, and the truth too! Thanks.

You are soooo much like me, Sheldon. :-) I wake up almost every morning
feeling the same way you do, except that I may only feel a tiny bit anxious
and maybe that's not even the right word for it. Much pain, bad dreams,
constantly waking up during the night and early morning, etc. :-( But then
I finally get up and after I eat, take my meds, get dressed, walk around a
little bit, etc., I feel much better, usually. LOL I am sooooo happy for
you that you got up and went! And then found yourself feeling much better
after that. Can you get a full-time job? Just curious. LOL @ think tank!
You be well too, Sheldon, and thanks.

Hugs,

Diane

I hear you. I moved from full-time employment and management of a
workgroup of 5 people at a firm to work-from-home freelancing all by my
lonesome after the great layoffs of 2009-2010. It's definitely an
adjustment to make.

There's something to be said for just getting out there. I find myself
more energized when I'm out and about the moving world. Try scheduling
a breakfast or lunch get-together with a friend or two throughout the
week. Having a reason to get dressed and get out the door can
jump-start your day and help push away all those feelings of
restlessness and loneliness that working for yourself can bring.

I've found that Mondays & Thursdays are of the best help to schedule
morning or lunch get-togethers. It gives you something to start up with
for the week, and something to look forward to for later on.

Hope this helps. And, I'm glad you had a great day! :)
