Do you ever have days like this?

Asked by jordym84 (4752points) August 27th, 2013

Days when you feel blue and under the weather over something trivial (or for no particular reason)? Days when, even though you know things aren’t as bad as you want to believe, you still allow yourself to feel miserable and wallow in your “pain”?

Overall, I’m a happy and confident person; I love my job, I have a wonderful family, amazing friends and a great boyfriend – so most days I really can’t complain about life. Still, once in a blue moon I get into one of these moods, triggered by something trivial that happened the day before.

Today I woke up feeling miserable and instead of doing things that would make me happy, I’m choosing not to. It’s almost noon and I haven’t even gotten out of bed yet. I feel oddly comforted knowing that I can just stay under my covers all day with the curtains drawn. The mere thought of getting up and doing something today fills me with anxiety.

Does this ever happen to you to some extent? If so, do you fight it and try to get out of your funk or do you just roll with it and wait until it goes away on its own? Or do you do something else? Regardless of which course of action you take, what would you say is the healthiest option?
