There's really no other word for it. I'm in the doldrums. OK, maybe another word is dumps. I'm uninspired and uninspiring. Really, all I want to do is sleep. I'm spending too much time staring off into space...

I'm with you

I slept all afternoon and all I really want to do now is crawl back in there rather than eat. I think the lack of food is a vicious cycle in this instance though!

think of it as creative hibernation Lynn - maybe it won't last long and you'll bounce back more creative and interesting than ever before. Read junk for a while or just veg. Computer games maybe...

Me Too

I have so much that has to get done, and all I feel like is crawling into bed with a book.

If I can get my crap together for this vacation it will be a miracle.

Bah.

As long as you don't stay there to long.....

the doldrums can start to feel pretty comfy and then you can't get out!

I like Kerri's idea of "creative hibernation" as long as you know when it over and you make yourself get moving!

My experience

Submitted by Andrea on Tue, 02/21/2006 - 5:31pm.

I've had my own bit of the doldrums this winter too. I am hoping it is just seasonal. Really not like me. I know that my "rhythm" has changed as far as my lifestyle - working now everyday - getting up early and leaving the house by 7:00. NOt a lot of downtime for me at home. My life has changed and my mind hasn't caught up to it yet. This week off is helping some I think. I am also trying to eat healthier, take my vitamins, and exercise at least 20 minutes a day. Oh and sleep of course.
