Not sure if it’s the weather today or what’s the cause, but feeling a little blue wanting to check out and just watch Netflix. Anyone with words of encouragement or feeling the same…

I'm sorry. That was Friday, so I hope things are better today.

This too, shall pass. Have a drink (if you’re not a drunk), settle down, and do something you enjoy to pull you out of your mind. You can always torture yourself tomorrow.
 
Yeah things turned around.
@bayareacpl: I am a drunk so I don’t drink lol. When I did I ended up in Mexico jail on a Tuesday. Lol. Question- where did you hear the phrase “this too shall pass”?

I had a feeling you might be, so I clarified.

It’s an old idiom I’ve heard for decades. I couldn’t pinpoint a source. I know AA uses it these days.
 
Hey I'm sorry, I've definitely been there many times myself! I hope you're feeling better, but if not, just focus on taking care of yourself. Mindfulness practices can help if you have any of those you like to do. Since I know my bouts of depression will pass eventually, I just try to keep myself as comfortable as I can given the circumstances. Certainly avoiding anything that will make it worse, good luck with your sobriety!! You got this! Virtual hugs from a stranger.

Appreciate the kind words. Feeling much better, but there’s still a lot of work that needs to get done! I really need to start practicing and re-engaging in mindfulness. Somewhere along the way I stopped believing that it would be beneficial and yet I have data points that reflect that it actually makes a huge difference, so tomorrow I commit to you that I will do 10 minutes of meditation before I do anything else. Thanks for the reminder.
