How to keep upbeat?
How to keep the hope?
How to keep positive?
How to keep dreaming?
How to keep from giving up?
I've had a good week. I tried to change my outlook. So why now, do goals seem so impossible, uncertain and far away?
I haven't tasted success at anything in awhile. One win for the team would be good. But how do I keep from folding?

- I'm here because it seems to be helping. I am mother to a toddler and we lost our beautiful daughter on Mother's Day 2007 because of cord compression . Ironically, the day she died in the womb, May 12, was her "exact" due date(40 weeks). So many things like this I cannot explain. We welcomed our 'rainbow baby' Jan 2010!

you know, I found that keeping upbeat was one task too many for me, and that I did better when I could just let myself be however I was.
anyway you look at it, though, it just sucks that you are in this place. I am sorry. And I wish I had something helpful to say.
I have been told that we should just go with the feelings, not fight them. So, if you need to feel shitty today, after a week of feeling good, just go with it. I think we've learned at this point that you're not one to fold. I'd say your strong, but I know it's because you have to be.
XO.
I have trouble concentrating, thinking about big goals. Sometimes are better than others, it seems to cycle. On bad days, I set small goals, like getting through the day. It helps, because you DO make it through that day, you've made your goal. Tomorrow will come.
And I just allow myself to feel. If I feel hope, I am hopeful. If I feel anxious, overwhelmed, sad, than that is what I am at that time.
I'm thinking about you...I know exactly how you feel. Wishing I could give you a big hug!
Lemme know when you figure it out.
I agree with Julia and C. Sometimes, if I stop trying to fight it, it makes it just a little easier. Because then you don't have to be angry at yourself for not being more upbeat. At least, that's how it (sometimes) works for me.
I wish I have the answer for you... all I can say is, one second at a time. small steps.
*hugs*
Just wanted to stop by and see if you are doing OK x
