It’s days like today I need to remind myself to breathe and chill the frick out. Because I’m grumpy over nothing in particular and everything is hitting me wrong. It’s hard to remember to give myself grace and compassion when I feel like this. I just want to snap out of it and be fine. Thank goodness for the good things in my life. Like my cat. My little constant.

Okay so this may seem unorthodox but early in my recovery when I was bent over things my sponsor told me to to sing the song IM a ash hole .. I said why would I do that he said cause your just in that mood and singing it will remind you and maybe make ya laugh .. so I tried it and ya know it worked . It made it easier to deal with
I like to say I embraced my insanity
Hey like I said I’m untraditional yes. But it worked for one guy then two so ..hey good luck feel better and it works if ya work it

A case of the grumpies, eh? I get those too. I agree, focusing on the good things and grace are most helpful. I hope you're feeling better soon. Thanks for sharing!

I get like this often and I go always go back to gratitude and reminding myself what I have to be grateful for and I also refer to the acronym HALT that my counselor told me about. It stands for Hungry Angry Lonely Tired and I try to address any of those basic things I could be feeling and it usually helps

Do something nice for someone else. That really helps me get out of those shîtty moods.
If that doesn't work I watch YouTube videos of people falling down.
Ha. Love it. Currently binge watching The Boys cuz my mom has a free prime month. That is almost over. Boo. But it’s a good distraction. It’s a train wreck of a show. Can’t look away you know.
