Funks

" and I'm sad again"

I like that quote because of the accuracy behind it. I have the type of personality where I have really high highs and really low lows. I find myself in funks from time to time, as we all do. I have been in one of the longest funks I have ever been in, and it inspired me to write about this. No one likes that feeling of being both happy and sad, not being able to do anything about.

It's like you want to participate, you want to be happy and laughing, but you just cant. You cannot seem to snap out of it. I imagine this is a little taste of what depression feels like, and I have sympathy for those who deal with this.

During my funks there will be good days, days where you think you are better or happy again, but then the sadness wave hits you again and again.  I feel everything at once. Its like every problem and negative thought I have is weighing heavy on my mind. I cant shake it- I am thinking these compulsive thoughts over and over again.

I have come to realize that this is natural. We unfortunately cannot always be in the perfect mood, have a big adventure, traveling to a dream destination, or in good spirits 24/7. This is called being a human. Its normal. We need to accept the emotions we have and then move on- don't be limited by the bad times. Appreciate how human we are and that we are able to feel so much. Like with everything- with time it will change.
