Funkytown

June 18, 2011 by KristinBee | 4 Comments

I’m in a funk. Just a little bit of a mental funk that I’m sure will pass in a couple of days. Maybe not quite as bad as Holly Golightly’s raging reds, but still. Something is just a bit off. I feel anxiety for no valid reasons. Yes, I have a few things looming over my head, but doesn’t everyone? How do I fix this? Any suggestions are welcome. For now, I think I will try to force myself to go to sleep, because honestly, I’m not going to accomplish anything at 11 o’clock at night except for more morose thinking. Sorry for being Delilah Downer. Womp womp waaaahhh.

    Delilah….love someone tonight!!!! Sweet radio personality, or prostitution lover? I digress, Kristin, having been a resident of Funkytown myself lately, I read an article about how to deal. It said a good way to overcome such hurdles is create some sort of change. I complied by changing my hair for the umpteenth time. It sort of worked! There’s something about compliments that is akin to emotional salve. nnThe other suggestion I read was to cultivate relationships you already have. I spent some extra time with some friends, and was surprised to learn some new things about myself, and even better to take my focus off of my petty problems and be a soundboard for their issues. nnEnd result=happier Jane. When you find out what works for you, post it!

    I have been similar if you haven’t noticed by my crazed posting. I started a private tumblr that isn’t attached to any social network that I can put WHATEVER I WANT on. It has helped a little as a creative outlet. I have also started focusing on my happiness more and trying to take care of myself. I have a way to go but it was a bit rocky. We are here for you.

    Thanks, you guys. I can’t quite put my finger on what’s wrong. I just feel anxious and tired sometimes. I’m thinking about getting some blood work done. As a fellow resident of Funkytown, I’m here for you guys too.nnKristin
