Thursday Two Questions #23-Winter Blues
We have been lucky these last few days with warmer weather upon us! The mountain of snow started to melt, and I was able to see a little bit of my drive way surface again. We still have a way to go, but we take what we are given.
When the weather is warm, waking up early in the morning is very rewarding since I can witness the run rise through all the barren branches of my neighbor's giant tree! I'm currently between weather, and something in the air that just makes a stir in me.
1) So how do you recover from feeling withdrawn?
2) Do you allow yourself to experience it fully while go on as if nothing is eating inside of you?

I think people (and animals) go through this 'hibernation' mode (from weather to stressful environments) and I think they recover when they accept the situation and find meaning in it.
ReplyDeleteI am a hyper person but very few people know I need to withdraw a lot (find my silent corners DAILY) to be able to function and experience and understand fully what is happening and why I feel that way.
Remember the stories of restless people realizing how they are better off just feeling bored than be hungry, in pain, or if their security or integrity is threatened.
Have a happy week!
I talk to friends, read, or look through photo archives. Playing with photos can take my mind off the dreary weather.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to sink into the cold gray days of outside. Sure it has an effect, but it is only temporary. We must hold on and keep pushing forward. It will be glorious soon.:-)
1) shopping and exercise, talking to Fritz, my dog :p
ReplyDelete2) i wallow in it, revel in my misery because i know i'll snap out of it anytime soon. if i pretend it's not there or ignore it, it tends to fester and stay longer.
hi sis! i always love how you capture the sky in between branches and twigs...i remember you each time i see trees without leaves with the sky and clouds peeping through them...
ReplyDelete1. how do i recover from being withdrawn?- i just had this sick feeling in me this morning, literal sick feeling that i kept on dismissing by singing and listening to songs while at work...music always works for me, add to that silly conversations with family and friends plus of course prayer...
2. yup in the first phase...i always end up telling someone the soonest possible time because it makes me feel a lot better...
..am feeling a little feverish now...i hope this goes away soon:)God bless your good hear sis,
1 I also think we all go through so sort of withdraw in the winter.
ReplyDeleteI tend to go though the winter day blues. It comes every year, it doesn't seem to get to bad as long as I get out at least once a week.
I write, I draw silly cartoons, I watch movies, I daydream and I talk, that is how I survive boring moments.Then when everything seems not to work, I complain :)
ReplyDelete1) I don't know the answer to this one really, I am still trying to figure it out. I have been feeling withdrawn for some reason. I guess, just keep doing the things you would normally do, but slower until you figure it out.
ReplyDelete2) I fight it, by continuing with my normal routine and try to figure out what is eating me up...
1) I work on my blog! :)
ReplyDelete2) When something is wrong, I cannot help but show it. I wear my heart on my sleeve.
I love those pretty colors through the tree branches Icy.
ReplyDeleteTaking a long walk, with my camera of course, or working in my yard are some of my solutions. I am usually so busy with things that I don't have time to concentrate on my feelings.
Withdrawn. I simply go on with it knowing that just as I wasn't always feeling that way, it will pass too and I'll enjoy other phases of emotions.
ReplyDeleteI try to find things I like to do and do them.
I'm learning not to let things sit inside, so I'll talk to a friend or blog about it and get it out and away.
And eventually I'll bounce back.
We have experienced that feeling here in NJ. We had a few warm days and now the majority of the snow has melted. I like to relax and enjoy it. I read, write, or listen to music. I tend to hide when I am upset, but my sister can always tell.
