This was so me last month. June was definitely the most craptacular month I've had in a while which, sadly, is saying a LOT. My family has endured quite the s**tstorm of grief and tragedy the past few years and, while I've learned to handle it pretty well and generally be a rock for my family, you can't help but reach that point now and then where you just throw up your hands and think, "Is it too much to ask for just a freakin' break once in a while!?!" :cursing:
Zero mojo, I didn't scrap a thing the entire month... wait, that's not true, I scrapped the memorial cards for our family friend that dropped dead out of the blue at 45... which gives you an inkling of just how craptastic the month was. I couldn't get into posting much in forums, commenting in the gallery or anything. I learned a long time ago to never let yourself think "it can't get any worse" while at the same time not letting anything get you too far down, so I stay pretty steady through these things. But it really saps the life out of you at times, and it's hard to find the energy and enthusiasm for these things like scrapping and participating in the community.
Fortunately, while things are far from perfect, I'm feeling better and stronger and getting my energy and mojo back. I think sometimes you have to wave the white flag and allow yourself a little time to absorb what's going on and mope about it a bit. As long as you don't let it consume you and are able to kickstart yourself back into things, it can be healthy. Just like you need to grieve a loss, you need to grieve the crappy things you're forced to cope with. We can't be shiny and happy 24/7... well, I suppose some people can, but those people are creepy and weird, lol.
Things will turn around. It's not always easy to believe and see it, but it will happen. <insert "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger" cliche here>
