I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I didn’t get enough sleep last night, and I’m tired, irritable, and I have a headache. I’m also stressed, and trying to get back into the workweek grind after the weekend. I recently had a fall; I got back on the wagon, but on days like this, the world seems grey. I not going to cheat today, but if anyone has any positive thoughts about, “fighting the good fight,” I think it could make feel better. Thanks

You feel the way you think. And you also think the way you act. People that get up in the morning feeling down and in response try to rest, relax, pleasure themselves, etc usually don't feel better. If instead in spite of your feelings you get engrossed in some activity, help others, whatever you may be surprised at how different the day can turn out to be.

I'm afraid this is the best I can do.

Hello there 

Sorry that your having a rough day, many of us experience these types of emotions. 

A few things that help: 

-Do some physical activity- doing  excercise has a powerful effect on overcoming negactive emotions. 
-Get out of isolation call or hang out with some friends speak to a gye brother
-Lend someone a helping hand
- Take stock of some of the positive things about your life and yourself 

Good luck !
