feels BLAHH sometimes
I don't know what is wrong with me I just feel so blase' about life right now. Not spiritual dryness per say, because I have been good about actually praying lately. But I do feel a bit spritually direction-less if that is even a word. I put all homeschooling on the back burner for now and I am trying to figure out and sort what I am feeling.
I don't know if it is a hormonal change or what but I just don't feel right, I don't want to go to the docs because I am not depressed, I have had ppd and actual depression and it was different.

It is so hard to get to a good priest around here, I think that is what I need though, a good talking to. But it is almost impossible. I will have to drive about 40 45 minutes to get to one.
Anyways that is how I feel lately and I hope it passes soon.
My husband is great but there are some things he just does not understand, and I guess rightly so That is why I am asking if anyone ever feels like I do.

You're not.

Maybe the drive to a good priest would be worth it. Or maybe a good book would help. I remember hearing once on Catholic Answers that some of the best Spiritual Directors are books.

Anyway- I'm not sure what to say, but I do want you to know that I have enough BLAH days (that aren't depression) to know how you feel. Big hugs. And lots of prayers for you.

Ahhh books I have many many books and I start them and it is a miracle if I can actually finish one
Seriously though I was reading The Gift of Faith by Father Taduez and it is a beautiful beautiful book I have not finished it yet and I am thinking of just restarting from the beginning again. I guess the problem with reading that I have encountered for myself when I read books like that one or on Saints I kind of end up feeling less than sometimes ( or discouraged). I know that sounds negative and I don't mean to sound it, but I guess I do don't I.
Hopefully as I said this will pass.

Thank you for your reply though I appreciate it.

Oh, Claudia, I think we all feel this to some degree at times. Often I find it is hormonal or sometimes just an accumulation oflittle stresses or worries.

Another tactic might be something to invigorate yourself - like lots of fresh air and actvity (whether it be exercise, yard work, walking, games with the kids) or doing something that you really enjoy that you haven't done in awhile - a hobby, visit with friend, spa/pampering.

I'll pray for you.
