The good thing is that I nowadays recognize the signs of a mental down-slope. The bad thing is that I panic. So now it's not only psychical painful, now it's physically exhausting as well. Am I making progress?

As I spend more and more time at the computer, I find that "mental downslope" appearing more often.
At first, I tried to think my way out of it. Now, I find that a complete immersion in physical tasks - scrubbing a floor, repotting a plant, snapping green beans for supper - can do wonders to restore my mind. The trick is allowing myself to focus completely on (oh, I have to giggle now!) the task at hand!
Interesting. Thank you for sharing. My dear husband saved me from slipping further by a refurnishing project. Involotaraly, but that doesn't matter. I guess that is about the same as repotting plats.
I'm glad that there are more people in this world that understand the expression of "mental downslope". I have no idea if we experence the same thing, but at least you could relate to it. My husband hears what I say, but cannot understand it.
I just hate that this - the ups and downs - has becomming more prominent and more frustrating since I became a parent. I love being a parent, but my urge to do things are more limited and at times like these it is aggravating. But it is not the parent-part I think. It is the financial responsibility part that limits most.
