What do you do when you feel miserable?

Lately I've been feeling really hopeless and miserable. From being a sweet and easy going person that was never bothered by much, I have become a very bitter, caustic person and I have started hurting people that I really care about. Today I had an argument with my mother which turned into me being so rude and disrespectful that I feel like shit now. She's the best person I know and even though she forgave me instantly, I know I've hurt her real bad today. I'm just so disgusted with myself and I just feel so miserable.

Try to center myself

I’m sure this has happened to most people, I know it has to me. You say things you don’t mean and are sorry. It happens so don’t get upset and you’re not alone 🤗

@Maiya OK 😀 Just count to ten next time. It happened and you can’t change it, so move on. Hope things work out

@Ian123 You're right. I do want to change myself and this is my first step towards that change.

@Maiya 🤗

{{{Hugs}}} It may be time to figure out why you feel so hopeless and miserable. Those emotions can make you as cross and cranky and mean as being chronically ill. If you can fix any of those reasons, that is a first step to no longer feeling miserable.

Go for some hard exercise and burn off the dark energy

Maiya · F

@Tracos I do need to start working out again.

@Maiya trust me... You'll feel better...
...it's not a solution, but it should be an improvement

I've learned to just live inside of my own little bubble. If I hurt someone at least it's not intentionally these days.

And you can't go around believing you can please everyone. We live in the most "offended" era of all time.

So like the meet the Robinsons movie suggests. Apologize sincerely if you feel you've made a mistake on your part. And just keep moving forward.

@AuRevoir It's not about the apology. I know that my Mom loves me alot and she won't even think or talk about this again. But the thing that I can behave in this manner is what disturbs me. I've never been this bitter.

We all need to unload sometimes, your mom will understand that. Do something nice for her to balance the scales and relax your mind. Life is too short to dwell on the past.

Maiya · F

@UreBesFrend The thing that I'm unable to do is relax. Whatever I try doesn't work. Everyday I just wake-up feeling jittery and miserable. Everything just hurts.

UreBesFrend · M

@Maiya Maybe you need to take a break from your current life. Go on a six month bicycle trip someplace and free your soul. When you come back, you can start over.

Maiya · F

@UreBesFrend I so wish I could do so. But I can't go anywhere. Actually, I don't even remember when was the last time that I got out of my house. Even though I live alone, my mind is just so full that I can't find peace anymore.

Force myself to exercise or meditate and then work out in my head how to go about fixing the parts of me that I don’t like

Maiya · F

@Effloresce It must be nice to be that sorted. I've just been having random bursts of anger and I feel so damn low that at that time I lose any consciousness of what I'm doing. It's making things worse, as I'm not an angry person at all.

Effloresce · 26-30, F

@Maiya nah I never am able to actually fix what I try to fix, but being able to acknowledge the parts that you don’t like is a great step one. Have you looked into seasonal affective disorder? That’s always what causes me to act that way this time of year

Maiya · F

@Effloresce No I haven't but I sure will. Thank you.
