Hey Joni
I too have the blahs and it does start to drive you nuts! Interesting, I found a whole bunch of things on "blah" when I googled "feeling blah" Try it...Here is one interesting thing I found:

"While many of us can go through periods of feeling 'blah', a long term experience may signal other things taking place in your body, your energy field and psyche. You are looking for an 'answer', yet are coming up empty.

I sense within your energy that you are searching for passion and excitement, something that will make you feel alive. There are many steps that I could suggest, however within this context I will offer two.

First, visit your doctor for a physical along with a hormone test. Balance within the body is a key factor in how we experience our physical and emotional energy. When imbalance is happening, our responses also become imbalanced and out of synch. There is no enthusiasm or interest in participating in life activities in the same way you had in the past. Imbalance can also be a signal of depression. Talking with your doctor about what you are experiencing in a good start.

Also, I sense that while you may be searching for passion, you carry a deep sense of sadness within your heart chakra. Because this sadness is something you are not comfortable with and do not know how to handle, you have been unconsciously holding it at bay. This act of 'suppressing' or 'depressing' emotion can result in feeling depressed. Facing the sadness, even though it feels heavy and uncomfortable, would help you to move forward out of the rut.

There is a wonderful story called, "THERE'S A HOLE IN MY SIDEWALK", Autobiography in Five Short Chapters by Portia Nelson. The basis of the story is that we will continue to live in the rut, or fall down the same hole until we choose at some point to take a different action, or walk down a different street. Think about how allowing yourself to feel the sadness would be a different action that depressing it. I wish you all the best Robin. You can do it! "

Im interested in checking out the book myself!!! Good luck and I like the idea of finding someone new with perhaps a different twist on things.....

Thank you so much, ladies. It is really great to come here and get ideas, to be able to be outside my own cocoon and get some really good suggestions. I have to find that book and give it try. I also liked the idea that Beach Girl posed, that perhaps someone having a different "take" may indeed be helpful.

I like the idea of going ahead and feeling, seeking out, the sadness, if it is there. I started to write last night about all the things I am feeling, physically, and mentally as well. The lack of concentration, having "blank spots" and losing words at times... ear problems, fatigue, and general blankness.

I also realized through writing that I am not a hypochondriac; that my family and husband see the changes in me over the past months, and are very very supportive of me getting the tender loving care and help I need and deserve. I am so grateful to be supported and loved in this way. Without my realizing "why", my husband has been texting me for the past month, with reminders of how special I am to him, and what a good life we have together. I do have a wonderful life now, perhaps I just don't know how to cope with it. Perhaps I feel I don't deserve it? I will keep seeking help and writing and sharing my feelings. Thanks, gals. You are the BEST!

And by the way, even in the midst of all this, I did manage to put up a gorgeous new Christmas Tree. Bring the body and the mind will follow, right? Hope you enjoy. It was very therapeutic, making all those bows myself. :o)
