I guess you could think of “blah”
in two ways: (1) Blah, blah, blah is used to describe people who just talk on
and on about nothing; (2) Blah is also used to describe a yucky feeling that we
all have from time to time.
My husband and I have a lot of
blah number 1 days. My mother lives with
us and rambles on and on about things that have no rhyme or reason to
them. If you happen to make the mistake
of commenting on something she has said, she will argue with you for hours about
what she said, as opposed to what she meant.
It gets very frustrating and can wear on your nerves BIG TIME!! She is getting more and more into talking
about trivial things that are of no interest to anyone. She also is getting more critical of people
and things. This is not a problem that has developed as she has gotten older. When I was young our pastor was talking to my Daddy one time and told him he was a fine man, but he wished he would talk more. Daddy told the pastor that he was the youngest of ten children and then married Mother........he had never had a chance to learn to talk!
The last couple of days I have experienced
blah number 2. Nothing is particularly wrong, I just don’t seem to have much
interest in anything. I have moped
around the house and tried to get some projects started, but can’t seem to
really get them going because they don’t spark my interest. I hate these kinds of days!
Most of the time, like most of
you, I have so little energy to put into anything. I try to get the important things that NEED
doing done and if there is any energy left over, I go on to something I WANT to
get done. It is very rewarding to actually
get things accomplished and I really get excited when I am able to do so.
These past few days I have not
even wanted to do the NEED things. It is
kind of like depression, but not that in-depth.
It is miserable to be like this
and I am hoping and praying that it will not last long.
I have been taking a new
medicine (one that is supposed to help with depression and such) and am
wondering if this has anything to do with it.
Since it is supposed to work in an opposite manner, I would be surprised
if it is the culprit. I will give the
medication another week or two and see what happens. If I don’t get out of this funk, I will definitely
call the doc and see what is up!
One of the things that really
perks me up are all the friends I have met online. Although most of us have some type of chronic
illness that tests our patience and stamina each day, we all try to lift each
other’s spirits and hold each other up no matter how down we may be
ourselves. I have been trying to read
all I can online and get some “upbeat” feelings from some of you. I hope it will work soon and I can get out of
this blah mood.
Blah mood is much better than
blah from my mother, though. I wonder if
she would notice if we walked around with earplugs???

When my mother lived with us, and before she got so deep into dementia, we'd have days like that, too. It can be very frustrating.
I would really check out the meds, especially if this is a new symptom. Even if you listen to the ads for antidepressants, they say that you could get a worsening of depression. I've had those blahs, though, and they're no fun!
Feel better!
Peace,
Muff
i hate blah days... and the blah blah blah ones too...
i'm having a run of blah days right now. very annoying, frustrating. and that seems to only fuel the blah. i just can't seem to get off my arse. i'm hoping it passes soon...
and i hope that yours passes soon too! it's not like we don't already have enough to deal with eh?
Thanks ladies........I know it will pass but wading through it is a bummer!
I am so looking forward to Fall and the cooler weather....maybe some snow this year....just a change of pace from this hot, sticky, stormy weather that seems to have been here so long.....
