Does anyone else start to feel great and positive and then have something seemingly insignificant happen that makes you feel completely helpless again?
Maybe you're feeling good for whatever reason -- you get out of bed and say, "Wow, I'm in a great mood. I'm going to make myself a nice breakfast," which you feel is a huge step in the right direction. You start frying some eggs, make some toast, and cut some fruit. Then you accidentally break the egg yolks when you flip them over, or you get a piece of shell in them, or maybe you open the refrigerator and find out you're out of butter. Suddenly, the whole meal and the whole day is a disaster. "I guess this is what I get when I start feeling positive." You try to enjoy what you've made, but the broken eggs or the unbuttered toast makes you feel worse every time you look at it. You throw most of it away, and you know you're going to feel terrible all day -- on a day that started out great.
I was really looking forward to this three-day weekend. I have a list of things I was going to do around the house and for myself, and I've barely done a single thing. Now the weekend is more than halfway over, and I feel mad at myself that I even believed I could get so much done. And even though there's still plenty of time, I just think... how can I even vacuum when I feel like this? Why should I even start? I didn't get anything else done, so maybe I should just watch TV and try again next weekend.
Edit: I guess I didn't really ask a question here. I'm just looking for tips, or advice, or something encouraging to read, or for people to say, "That happens to me too."
