You know those times when nothing is wrong, but for some reason, things don’t feel right?
(And you know how I don’t love those times?)
Angst. Please. I’m so too old for angst. Did you know that in German angst means fearfulness? And how I don’t do fear anymore? Nobody told the angst. It’s like that soul-weariness you get when things are Just Too Hard, minus the hard parts. Nothing is wrong. It just feels like it is, or it might be, or it will be soon.
I’m coming to grips with my own psychological regression. And recognizing the fact that although I am not, and have not for DECADES been, sixteen years old, I can still remember what it feels like, to the point of cringing.
Also, possibly I’ve been spending a whole lot of time in the high school.
Maybe that sort of thing is contagious.

Angst and I are well acquainted. In fact, two days ago, this very feeling overwhelmed me. Nothing was wrong but absolutely NOTHING felt right. I was near tears all day long and finally when my hubby came home, I just stepped into his arms and let go. I’m still struggling out of that place but it’s easing up. I freaking hate that feeling.

I sure hope it’s nothing. I hate feelings like that. Take a deep breath, and pray. Hugs, Becca. PS; And remember, faith and fear can not exist in the same place at the same time. (I know, much easier said than done.)

That’s funny because that’s how I am feeling today. And I started out the day so well–exercise, hair & make-up, scriptures and prayer. And then have spent the rest of the day feeling like I needed to scream or cry . . . so I looked at blogs and got more depressed seeing what amazing things people were doing with their lives. Thanks for validating my unexplained and unwanted anxiety. The sun will come out tomorrow! (And that literal sun will help!)

That weird limbo feeling when you can’t really pinpoint a reason for the blues, but they are there anyway… hate that. I am sorry you have been in a funk.
WHat else did you pick up from the high school experience?
