[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 493129, member: 6705"] :hugs: I get that feeling, too - like a hamster on a wheel, only I can never get off, I never get anywhere else, and if I stop, I tumble over and over because the wheel doesn't stop. And yes, the glue trap is appropriate, too. Moving for you was like relocating the wheel/trap. New scenery, but it still feels like you're not getting anywhere. I'm betting the depression is a bigger issue than you realize. When I get like that - I'm in a rut - same old same old same old, and I am dissatisfied and grumpy and have no inclination to make things better. I have to FORCE myself to do stuff. Like right now - I have GOT to finish those sugar free buckeyes... But instead, last night I sorted paperwork for the files... Which is actually an improvement over normal. I'm a little manic right now, not sure why... But - the point is - when you're trying to get out from under a PILE of koi (M's behavior, Matt, your Mom, Aunt & Uncle, that (insert appropriate expletive) job issue, Western Union) - it's HARD. And sometimes doing something for you does not feel good, or make things better. Might I suggest you do something really out of character? Really weird. What comes to mind is something like buying a flashy outfit you'd probably never wear - and take yourself to dinner, [I]wearing it[/I]. It does not have to be expensive... I adore thrift stores... Something [I]different[/I] to knock yourself out of the rut, to jolt open the hamster cage, to peel the glue off your little toes and fingers... [/QUOTE]
