Day 5 - Hitting the wall

 

Hi all. I feel like Ive hit the wall (not physically - mentally). I'm feeling rock bottom and feel as if there's no point to anything. Dont ask me why. If I knew the reason I'd be able to understand it myself. I got up, clapped my hands and said "Todays going to be a great day" but something upstairs in my head said "who you fooling sunbeam". I've gone back over the last 4 days of tips & notes & videos & audio's but I still feel down and empty. This is where I refer to hitting the wall, You know the thing athletes talk about when they are so close to finishing the race and bang something hits them. They need to fight there way through it. Thats how I feel. I'm not giving up though. I intend to be back here again tomorrow and the next and the next and so on. As low as I feel I intend to beat it.

A fav song of mine

ROCK BOTTOM
(words / music c2005 Donnie Mills

Ive struggled with my demons through the choices that Ive made

running from the promises that I always betrayed

I set out to find the answers, I'd too soon forgotten

(then I) came upon a road sign that said "Welcome To Rock Bottom"


Dreary days of endless haze where you never see the sun

lonliness and desperation, population one

I walk these empty streets in search of all the things forgotten

seems like I have made myself at home in Rock Bottom


(chorus)
Rock Bottom is a place thats built on all your broken dreams

where heartache lays its head at night and nothin's what it seems

I had hopes to reach my goals, but too soon I forgot 'em

seems like all the roads Ive chose have led me to Rock Bottom


When you travel down lifes way, be careful that you know

where you rest your head upon the shoulder of that road

remember all the lessons learned, and where it was you got em'

and never get to comfortable when passing through Rock Bottom

(chorus)

Sending you lots of love Sending you lots of love and good cheer!

Sending positive thoughts...

to help you through. You know you can do this and the best is yet to come. I just finished day 29 and am amazed. I am told the best is still to come for me as well.

I have been there"what's the point", "everything is crappy anyway" and wallow in what really feels sh...ty. Feeling like bursting into tears,screaming,hit something ,or just sleep forever.

Hang on Paul, you are worth the effort.

By all means please vent and blog as much as you feel because we are all here to help each other.

Happiness is just a perception change and you know you have it in you.

LOVE AND LIGHT-SAHNDRA 

You can do it, keep going! You can do it, keep going!

you there!

hello sunbeam,

 

i'll sit with you a moment at the bottom of the pit and we'll not talk at all.

 

just sit.

 

it's dark, innit?

'cept for you sunbeam... you seem to be rising each second the day ticks by. 

i guess that's just what sunbeams do.

 

i'll see you again here tomorrow.

 

i like seeing you round.

that's pointed enough. 

prickly even!

like goose pimples.

 

honk hooonk, like a gosling...

 

waddle waddle. 

 

 

Keep Your Head Up

In the military they teach you to "fake it till you've got it"  SSome days it's your ddetermination that get you through but I know personally that when I feel that way I have to "fake" the eenthusiasm until its real. 

 

This isn't a perfect solution but it's got me through many a tough time and injury.  Seeing that you already have the detedetermination I'd say  your well on your way, even though it may not feel that way.  Good luck and Keep you Head up.
