Getting ahead of myself
I don’t understand me lately. I feel like my emotions and thoughts are out of my control or something. I don’t feel like they are bad, just that they move forward without me. Like my brain won’t shut off.
I’ve been writing, passionately. I have all of these post sitting in my queue, just waiting to be posted.
But I am going to take a “quiet day.”
I think I need to start reviewing before I hit “publish.” I am letting myself get overwhelmed and too caught up in things.
If I keep “going going going” like this, I am going to end up crashing and getting sick again.

Yes, take your time. Don’t get sick. Not good at all.
Yeah, relax, lady! Take some “you” time!
I am fully in support of this decision! 🙂
Are you me?!
I’m in a similar place – a million posts drafted but in a weird state of mind.
I feel like I’m out of whack with my body and I need to regroup.
Which is a good thing, this regrouping. Take your time 🙂
Take all the time you need!
That’s good self-care. Be gentle with yourself.
i completely understand what you’re saying!!! take a quiet day… a “you” day… we don’t want you getting sick again!!! until then, know that i will be (anxiously) waiting for another post!!! (i’m just kidding, i wasn’t trying to make you feel guilty- i hope i didn’t!)
=^..^=
Breathe, relax, take YOU time. Take care of yourself. Drink some tea. I tell everyone to drink tea, no matter what is ailing them! 🙂 Spend some quiet time alone with a book…anything to re-center yourself. It will happen.
Quiet “you time” is well-deserved and necessary treat. Enjoy it!
Perhaps you need a “ME DAY”, where its just about you 🙂 At least your recognizing that you need to slow down a little before you start getting yourself sick!!
Per your comment on my page about how many calories are on the typical WW plan, that’s really hard to answer. You get a certain number of points based on your current weight, age, gender, height, activity level, every time you drop into another decade (ie 70’s to 60’s) you lose a point. You earn points back for excercise. A point if roughly 50 calories, but can be as low as 20 calories or as high as about 110, all dependent on how many calories, fat & fiber are in a serving of whatever your eating.
And I just did a post about how my brain feels empty. I wish I could let you use my brain. You could fill it up a little with new thoughts. Clean out your own at the same time. A day off is a good thing. I do it all the time.
I was just thinking this. (About me, obviously, not you). I feel like my thoughts are out of control. Not in a bad way, but they just are. I write stuff to post and then have no idea why I would post it. Overwhelmed. I think that is the word for what I am feeling. There isn’t any particular reason for it, which is why it took me so long to find the right description. I feel all scattered and like nothing I am doing is quite right or quite how I should be doing it. Take a break! I’ll be here if you need me!
I totally understand! I think in the blogging world there is a lot of pressure to post every day, or multiple times a day. Sometimes we just need a break away from the blogging world because it’s daunting!! Enjoy your relaxation!!
kapgar – You know from first hand experience how PATHETIC I am when sick. That must be why you guys won Trivial Pursuit? 😛
Mica – I had a long “me-time” nap yesterday and I loved it. I even listened a bit to a Jillian Michaels radio show! It surprisingly made me dislike her less!
diane – You know I need it more than anyone! You have suffered directly from this! 😛
Gemfit – You know, it seems like we are in sync with each other or something? Maybe this is a lingering effect from our sicknesses?!
Christina – Thanks!
sizzle – I think being gentle with myself calls for some pampering… what do you think?
CourtneyInControl – You didn’t make me feel guilty! I just can’t seem to stop posting. I want to take a break, but then I feel like the thoughts are stuck in my head. I feel like I need to get them out, even if they don’t make sense. Thanks for always being so supportive!
Mrs. Smith – A book! What a wonderful idea. I know it seems strange, but I have been so computer focused lately… I wonder if I need to go offline. It’s just so hard for me! I love all the blogs and the community!
Cheryl – I plan on taking some more me-time today! Well, me and husband time! 😉 (And cat, ha ha)
Scale Warfare – I want a ME WEEK!!! Is that too much to ask? 😉 Thank you for explaining the points to me! Now when I read about it, I can roughly estimate points to calories (I think in calories 😉 )
joanharvest – I wish we could swap! 😉
radioactive tori – You know EXACTLY what I mean. I haven’t noticed it about your blog though, so maybe you didn’t notice it about mine… wink wink… 🙂 I wonder why we feel this way. Is it the pressure of… what? I think overwhelmed is the right word for me too. Every time I try to slow down, I feel kind of guilty at the end of the day.
Bethany – And I think that is making me WANT to post everyday. But I am losing my inner editor on what I should and shouldn’t post. I am addicted 🙁
That, my friend, is balls. The gauntlet is thrown down. Bring it on. 😉
kapgar – HA HA HA! Rematch?
Oh yeah. It’s on.
