Today is Halloween. My kids are teenagers and do their own thing these days. My daughter is visiting a friend who is away at college, and my son is going to a basketball game. We don’t get many trick or treaters because we live in an older neighborhood and there aren’t many children. Halloween used to be one of my favorite holidays. I made and bought lots of decorations and candles and I had the house all fixed up for at least a month before Halloween. I don’t feel like doing it anymore. I don’t feel like doing much of anything frankly. Maybe the wellbutrin will help me get more motivated, interested in life again, able to have some fun. I don’t know what is wrong with me.

i never much liked halloween. i binged on candy even as a very youngster. and costumes got tighter and tighter each year. halloween and my eating disorder…
i think my best friend is going thru some the same stuff you are. he has little energy or enthusiasm. he’s also waiting for wellbutrin to kick in. in the meantime, he’s napping.
isn’t it weird when our bodies and minds don’t do what we want or expect?

I used to be the exact same way, excited to do a lot of holiday decorating. If you ever find a way to reclaim motivation let me know, I’m searching for it myself.

Harriet – I think it is natural after kids get older to do less for holidays. We do less for Halloween than we used to – I still have a 10 year old. We didn’t even get pumpkins this year!
Do your think your current mood may be related to seasonal change? Just a thought.
Hope your 10K goes well. Thinking of you

ihatetoweight – napping sounds good! I’m having a really hard time sleeping at night, so I could use a nap.
Laura – if I find it I’ll let you know.
OLJ – I guess that’s true, but it’s sad anyway. We didn’t get pumpkins either. It might be seasonal, I know a lot of people seem to be having trouble right around now. 10K news on the blog now!
