woodsrose10 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 As some of you may already know, I am a homebody. I am happiest when I'm reading a book or curled up with a movie on a cold day. I hate humidity and the heat. When it's hot & humid out, I feel pressured to go outside and do something physical, even though that really isn't my thing. Staying inside on a hot day just doesn't feel right with me. This afternoon/night in particular, I began to feel this deep "empty" feeling, like I got nothing productive done today. I clean the family house for money, and to be honest I really do enjoy that. (But only on days in the fall and winter, of course.) I do take medication for depression and anxiety; sadly, 2 nights ago I skipped a dosage because my refill wasn't ready. (Thankfully, it was only for 1 night.) Still, I had withdrawal symptoms during the day, in particular the physical shocks. A part of me thinks that the "empty" feeling I was getting today was due to me skipping that 1 night, and my body is getting back on track. But if the medication wasn't the case, what should I do to handle that "empty" feeling I get? Particularly during heat & humidity? Thanks! Oh, and for anyone who's wondering, I am currently collecting unemployment and looking for a job, hence why I'm living with my parents. I also clean my grandfather's house for money. Link to comment
Kitkat973 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 For me, I try to focus on small pleasures until the worst of the ennui passes. Having something productive that you can accomplish can also help. Link to comment

Having something productive that you can accomplish can also help. Yea, I clean and run errands on a daily basis to help cope with the ennui I feel as a result of the humidity. It usually prevents the ennui, but sometimes it's still there. And I need more help to deal with it. Link to comment
