re: Anyone Else in Funk?

I feel stressed and emotionally worn out basically every day now since the flood. I have no idea how to make everything ok for my family. I know it will all work out somehow though. At least that is what I cling to right now. Work is also very stressful right now as well and no one here in AZ seems to really grasp just how bad the flooding was. I mean some do, but others do not. I wish I could have others in AZ that I could commiserate with through all this who understands and can relate.


I'm on fb a lot cause I'm keeping in touch with family, etc throughout all of this on there. But that in itself can make me feel worse. I'll feel horrible seeing all the posts of people I know who have lost everything. I feel almost angry and irritated when I see others not in LA just posting their normal day to day stuff. Any flood related posts I see (whether it's articles on it, whatever)....are only by people either in LA or from there.

Was already in a funk pre flood, now in a major funk. Went on vacation August 6, and it rained the entire week at the beach (right side of the system that hammered Baton Rouge).. Then we came home to the flood. Trying to be positive but I'm worn out mentally and physically. Tornado+flood=2016 can go screw itself.

ETA: I try to be happy that our rental didn't flood but I'm still down about the 100k property/keepsakes we lost in our storage. And our new house flooding, although that's not as major. Just bummed.

Definitely not my normal self. Not sleeping well at night. My baby isnt sleeping well either. I lay down and just try to think of how I can help people that I know, in addition to my normal work/home duties.

Yup

I'm pretty bummed they took the Sonic Boom Box off of the menu. Still trying to pick up the pieces

Sounds like a midlife crisis

And we had to cancel the LSU-Wisconsin trip because there was no justifying spending an extra $3k after this while trying to replace everything before moving into new house.

You were in the LSU marching band. They should take you and your family on the team airplane as a complimentary gesture.

I was fascinated by tornadoes, hurricanes and dinosaurs as a small boy. Looks like your son is headed in that direction!

Take care and keep us posted from time to time when you can.

Sorry to hear this man. I have been there before and it wasn't fun, but although its easier said than done, sometimes you have to force yourself to do it and that helps. If your brain can produce more Serotonin, it will help you feel better. If you google "how to produce more serotonin" you will find some helpful information, but do you take vitamins? I had a low vitamin D count, but at some point during the day spend some time in the sun (I know that's hard when its hotter than the hinges of hell outside).

I was in a funk for the first 6 months of this year. Worried myself sick over some financial risks I took that were suppose to pay off late 2015 early 2016 that got held up. Things started turning around a little towards middle of last month. Now things are golden. I was in a bad place...
