Emotional Drained

[bladeraven]

I was wondering if there were any suggestions on how to recharge..I feel emotionally, spiritually and just physically drained...had a lot of emotional turmoil!

firsty, dont feel abandoned! :hugz: :smile:

Ok, get lots of sleep and make sure you're drinking lots of water - add as it sounds, being dehydrated can make you feel like sh*t :) . Also make sure you're getting plenty of vitamins, maybe even take a supplement til you feel better!

You could try meditating - just sitting very still and quiet, and concentrating on your breathing for a while. This always makes me feel much more centred, and will hopefully give you the energy you need to deal with things!

A bit of colour therapy might help, too - lots of bright happy colours, and less drab greys and muddy colours.

Carrying something like a nice bit of quartz will help, too, or something like citrine and/or orange calcite imo.

:hugz: hang in there, you'll feel better soon :)

THat is all great advice. Sometimes just spending some quiet time alone can help you recharge. I like to take a bath with energising or relaxing essential oils added to help balance myself out. YOu could try that or take a walk and get some fresh air cos that can help clear your head and see things more positively.

*Huggles* (that's my new word) to both of you..thank you!!

Just going through a time right now.....Going through a very emotional relationship that left me crying this week..He is in SC since Tuesday to see his son and he hasn't answered his phone at all..He never called me for New Years and I tried calling him since Friday and just 20 minutes before checking my email...so I'm in fear he is ignoring me and that the relationship is over due to his and mine mutual friend getting involved because his friend wanteed to date me...


LOL..the joy of having Pagan friends...everyone did a reading without me knowing and they have positive outcomes for our relationship...but I"m just so mad how far his friend went...wish I could turn him into the weasel that he is...plus..I'm late and I'm in the process of moving...SO....lol

Emotional upset can make you late so don't jump to any conclusions about that quite yet.

Moving is always a very emotionally draining experience. Whenever you have to do that, just put moving day aside as one day when you are allowed to hate the whole world and everybody in it. On moving day, you are also allowed tons of self pity and at least two crying jags. Just be sure to not do or say anything against those who love you or who are trying to help you. Keep in mind that you really aren't mad at them. You are mad at the situation and that upset is to be expected.

I certainly hope you weren't counting on the boyfriend and his friend to help you move. If that is the case, probably the best solution is cold, hard cash. Rent a couple of strong bodies for a day and just get the move over and done with. I know that is tough but sometimes, money is the best way out of a situation. And, I know it is tight, now. It always is when you move.

As far as the boyfriend, stop calling him. He already knows you want to contact him and he will get in touch again when and if he is ever ready. By all this chasing after him, you are just driving yourself nuts.

Instead, try to focus on other things like your up coming move. After that good soak in the tub, put on some zippy music. The kind that makes you want to dance and tackle some of that packing. Try singing out loud. Or, if it is your preference and you have it turn your TV to the comedy channel and listen to that.

Once you are in the new place, you can make unpacking and decorating fun, if you choose. That is a good time to have a girl friend over to help you hang pictures.

By then, you will either have heard from him or not. If not you can have a man bashing fest with your girl friend. Somehow, doesn't that always make us feel better? A good hour or two ripping every male on the planet with a good girl friend can sure put us in a better frame of mind. Maybe, it is that female bonding thing. We can't take it too serriously, though. We have sons and fathers and we really do love them even if they are male.

As to the future, all I can say about that is that nothing cures old love like new love.

well..month late now....so......lol...

Wasn't counting on him or his friend helping...our friend to be exact is a different story...he supposedly wasn't talking to my ex , the said he was a "neutral" mutual friend and turns out he was talking to my ex while at the same time-txt msging me lewd txt msgs on christmas and telling me to drop my ex and would slam my ex whenever we talked or he talked to anyone...so it's under a good assumption, the weasel was doing the same to me behind my back...SO...that's going to be interesting there since someone I know went...enough is enough...weasel needs to be out of the way..As a matter of fact...the friend is now known as the Weasel and isn't taking calls from anyone anymore...

Going to see about finding a quartz...maybe one that will be a nice pendant....

Mr weasel sounds like a crappy friend, and I'm sure it will all come back to haunt him :rolleyes:

I'm here if you need a pm-chat anytime, stay positive,

I see you are 32. That is, from my experience, a really good age for motherhood.

If you have a new life on the way, I am certain this one will really bring you happiness. We love all our children no matter when they come but 32 is a really great age for it.

[bladeraven]

LOL..right now..new life is being able to get up in the morning and not trip over toys...LOL...

*Hugs* Thanks for teh positive reinforcement and ideas...I need to keep myself focus on that..

Betrayal is always a tough one to deal with. And, now, it is two pronged, a false friend and, perhaps, a false love.

The only things that can be said about betrayal is that it is a fact of life and it hurts like hell.

And, we tend to blame ourselves. We ask ouselves what is wrong with us. How could we have been so gullible. How could we have been so mistaken about someone.

The fact is that you are not at fault for being a trusting person. Having trust is a good quality. But, it comes with a price. Sometimes your trust will be betrayed. That is just a cost of living.

Yes, try to use good judgement. Try to know people and their reputations before giving them your trust. But, also know that no matter how well you pick your friends, there will always be those who slip through and betray you. It can't be avoided, entirely.

We get mad. We cry. We go on.

Draw a pentagram in dirt

Place a small candle on each tip

Chant over the star while sprinkling gensing. Chant "Fire, Water, Earth, and Air lend me your energy for the days to come."

Chant until you feel is enough and take a gensing pill every day you need it. (check with your doctor of course!)

hope that helps! :devil:
