I'm not sure what my deal is. I'm feeling not completely down, but not happy. Yesterday and today part of me feels sort of angry, like I want to punch something. Another part of me just feels like I want to cry. And last night I couldn't fall asleep as my mind was wandering on about nothing. But once I fell asleep I slept pretty solidly throughout the night. I've also had some odd dreams the last couple nights as well. I haven't been to the gym since December and wonder if that's part of my problem. I'm not getting out my aggression. One odd thing I've noticed since returning from my vacation, I've slept better than I have in years. Sleeping almost completely through the night and having lots of dreams. When I do wake up it's usually to adjust my head or body and I'm immediately back asleep. I guess the point to this thread isn't asking anything, just venting about nothing.
PMS? kidding. I too have found that regular gym visits help regulate mood as well as energy (I'm sure the two are connected somehow).
Get back into the gym broseph! First 1-2 weeks back is always the hardest. After that it's cake and you feel great. I've noticed whenever I have worked out/stayed consistent in the gym/running, it is also the time I am healthiest and rarely get sick. The dreams might have just been what you ate that day, or any medications you might be on.
I've been feeling the same way, not sure what the problem is. I've been in the gym regularly so that's not it. I've found that actually breaking things is quite therapeutic. I keep all of my cracked broken hockey sticks for just an occasion. A good whack at something (not living) and a good deal of the bad emotional crap is gone. Luckily I go through enough of them to keep me balanced ha ha.
Thanks everyone. Feeling more up-beat today. I think I get like that because of my past bout with severe depression, it never totally goes away. I haven't been to the gym because of my back. I plan on starting back next week, mainly just cardio and abs to start off with.
sounds like Seasonal Affective disorder ...otherwise known as the winter blues.... I try and spend as much time outdoors in daylight winter time ice -skating, skiing or going sledding with my kids and find that helps any mood swings..I work out 4 days a week and try and get 8 hrs. of sleep each night as well.... Cheers, Nick
Haha, we don't get much of a winter in Houston. It's fluctuated greatly this year. It's currently 41 outside. Doesn't bother me, I like the winter. I get pissed when it's not cold outside when it's suppose to be. Thanks Cameron. I hope to start back Monday, unless more unexpected things arise to keep me out.
I usually blame it on hormones when I feel that way, but I guess you can't do that. I also do seem to get moody around the holidays and after so maybe seasonal disorder has something to do with that.
Back to the gym with you! And if you cant do that, 100 pushups in your home or office is not a hard thing to do.
haha, While it's not proven medically, I tend to think every guy suffers from a degree of PMS from time to time. Maybe it's sympathy PMS from you ladies. lol I'll be getting back this week. I've determined within the last couple weeks one thing that's been putting me in a bad mood is my roommates gf. She's a complete *****. Everything that comes out of her mouth is negative and she belittles everyone. If it's not up to her standards it's ****. He's developed her attitude. Everyone always asks, "What's wrong with Matt?" "He seems angry." It's really troubling, and it's only time before I snap and go off on her. I just hope it's when everyones around so it will open pandora's box. She made numerous comments Saturday night and it's been driving me crazy since.
