Hi

I really was not sure which forum to post this under...I have been fighting the blues, blahs, meanies, tears etc all day. I don't have a clue as to what brought this on so fast... I was doing the shopping and decorating and the whamo....I could care less and have said so. I am not decorating the outside or do I want a tree.

This I am sure is temporary, but since my sense of humor has flown out the window, I will fly solo until this passes...you have never met a bigger B**** than me right now.....

I feel more depressed all of a sudden than having craves unless it is masking itself as the blues...all was going good so do not understand... unless there is some more smokescreen that is trying to clear ..maybe I am blocking what is on the other side??who knows...Maybe I am just tired of doing X'mas for 35 years by myself having to listen to Mr Scrooge about every little thing...nah, should be used to that by now Confused

I will catch up with all of you later...not in a smoking crisis don't worry.
Kay'

Hi Ms Kay. I think you are probably dealing with the Grinch Who Stole Christmas right now. I run into this from time to time because there is always so much to do for the holidays and it seems like I am always the only one doing it. Now might be the time to give yourself a special treat. Practice some extreme self care. Get a pedicure, go shopping, take a long bubble bath, or buy that diamond and emerald ring you always wanted! Go ahead girlfriend, you so deserve it! Laughing I hope you are feeling better soon.

Hi Kay, I think a lot of us get depressed now and then, maybe from quitting. Christmas time probably makes it worse. Anyway, consider yourself hugged and smooched from me. Sometimes I think if you can just keep up the pretense of being fine that everything gets better soon. Good luck. Ben

Told you a month ago to get cracking I've got it all wrapped. Kay when hubby asked what you spent on such and such put it on sale in your mind so the sale price comes out of your mouth. That way you aren't lying to the little dear. Laughing Laughing Laughing Christmas is my total favorite and I have a whole room called the Christmas room just for gifts and wrapping. My grandson and brother's kids call it the treasure room as they sneak in on occasions. I have an open house on Christmas Eve and I can count on anywhere from 55-75 dropping in. Can't wait. Laughing Laughing Laughing

Kay, allow yourself some down time, Lord knows you deserve it. You are moving on to the six-month mark…the six curses remember.

I understand all about the Grinch. I spent the morning writing notes on the Christmas cards and going through photos to add them too. Chain smoking hubby slept. He has never been into the whole Christmas thing so it is always up to me or it ends up like last year. I took off and spent Christmas in Indy with my mom, sister and brother. This year I'll stay here as hubby just had surgery.

Cry if you need to, and move on. Do only what you feel like doing and let the rest go. I try so hard to remember the reason for the season. It helps during the down times. Plus I feel less alone.

You are one dynamic person...never forget that. Very Happy

Now…Cowgirl-up. Very Happy Shocked Confused Very Happy Wink

Thanks to each and everyone of you for being there for me and I am sorry to put a damper on anyone's day. I do not feel as homicidal as I did Smile I guess I really need to work on that. Rolling Eyes ..but get so tired of the negativity that I have worked so hard to rid myself of. I have tried very hard to keep a better attitude about everything. It has really taken alot lately to bring me down...the smokescreen is allowing myself to be made to feel this way, inadequate and not appreciated...made to feel I should keep striving to be able to do it all and a failure if I should falter.

Melody, I started when you did and was down to the tree, outside (small stuff) and wrapping...Daughter is having X'mas at her house to make it easier on me...so I have been a crackin Laughing

Pam, Debbie, Alleghany, Ben and Jeri thanks so much for your kind words, hugs and smooches I really needed them.

Tonya, the ring sounds like something I may have to look into and Sandy thanks for the cowgirl up...the cry must have helped although I really HATE to do that.

Kevin, thanks for leaving the light on and for letting me know that the good lord did make a man that gets it (as Dr Phil would say).
Kay

Kay, Sounds like you are feeling better, but I would like to remind MOST of us that this Christmas and New Years will be VERY different for us and yes I have felt a bit depressed as you did... This is our very first Holiday season doing things without a cigarette in hand every minute of it, DAH no wonder we are depressed, we're missing "part" of our hand this year Exclamation It was the first thing I missed when I started to address the first card, no ashtray, no smoke circling around, etc. Just have to keep telling myself, "Ain't it GRAND!" And it truly is Very Happy

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year

Thanks Barb and Essie it is better today..but then I woke up with the house quite...hubby went to work! I don't know why he says some of the things he does..but have to admit he is alot better than in his younger it is all about me days. The only person who puts herself number one on a list like his is his mother...just not my style guess opposites do attract!

Well I for one am not missing the ashes all over as I wrap my gifts nor the smell of smoke wrapped with care into each little gift nor the black streak of ash on my xmas cards nor anything about my old life for that matter. The new and improved me is quite capable of enjoying xmas and as for what to do with my free hand you just won't believe some of the options that popped to mind. Laughing Laughing Laughing
