Rec | WALLOWING

🌧️

sometimes a little sulking brooding and languishing is required. i am not suggesting you ruminate yourself into a corner but perhaps just let yourself play the sad song, light a candle, gaze wistfully out the window at the moon…tomorrow things will look different but for now we mope….

Anytime I am feeling upset I have to let myself feel it out! Be melancholy go quiet and gaze wistfully! It wears off quick and I’m back to feeling okay!

laying across the couch, forlorn, the back of my hand on my brow, worn. one arm dangling, heavy, my regret, a sigh escapes, an exasperated threat. I channel a lady, fainting, from days of yore, a Victorian soul, wallowing once more. her sensibilities, rattled and torn, in a world where respite is so often scorned. and just as I gather comfort, my plight, a soft *ding* echoes, another blight. a text from my car insurance, so tame, a reminder that life is still playing its game. oh, so quaint, and how clear, even in fragility, mundane duty draws near.

there is no "we're so back" feeling without a little "its so over" rumination

sit in it… then (if needed) drag myself out

sometimes i can’t tell the difference between sadness and depression but usually i make a gut-wrenching playlist with beautiful sad music specific to my situation and then i listen and wallow for a while LOL. but then if it continues past a few days i try to repair my sleep schedule (bound to occur), force myself to journal, leave the house, meditate, do fun things and listen to happier music, etc. cuz i know if you keep wallowing you just get Stuck

allow yourself to feel bummed out / sad (for a while)

i’m stuck at this period of stagnation (too much to explain, but it’s been 4 months of feeling like i’m stuck and i still got about 3 more months to go) and to be honest, really not a fan of waking up and feeling like this is just another day i’ll have to power through in the past i give myself these days where i just consume sad music and watch melancholic movies and just curl up on my own—and i’m just upping my dosage of that. it’s not a depressive episode, it’s not that grand. it’s just accepting how you feel and it actually will make the feeling of stagnant feels a bit more tolerable on the next day. combined with tea & coffee, reading and yoga, it helps me for the time being
