That Colorgenics thing again

Stolen from starseeking, and I'd say it's pretty accurate:

Colorgenics Quiz:

At this time in your life you feel like 'giving up'. For every time you have tried to build up your hopes and dreams something has come along to burst the balloon. You may feel that, at this particular moment in your life, there seems to be no chance of fulfilling these dreams but you are so wrong. You are the sort of person that can influence any situation, that is - If you don't give up. So consciously make the effort... You have that inherent power to succeed.

You are working extremely hard trying to improve your image. You need for those people in positions that matter to recognise your potential and to acknowledge you.

Everything seems to have gone wrong and the situation at this time is such that you are not quite sure which way to turn. So it would appear that you are 'holding back', re-consolidating your position and relinquishing all fun and games for the time being.

You refuse to relax or to give in and you are endeavouring to keep exhaustion and depression at bay by keeping active. You are experiencing a relationship or a situation which is not satisfactory but you feel powerless to change it. You have that 'need to be needed' but you do little to achieve the sense of belonging that you need. You try to disguise your feelings of insecurity and so you continue to resist this state of affairs - and as a consequence you are experiencing tension and stress. Your depression makes you irritable and impatient. You have that urge to get away from the situation, either actually or mentally. You are finding it increasingly difficult to concentrate.

Circumstances are such that you have been exposed to considerable stress and tension, perhaps due to unfulfilled emotional needs. You would like nothing better than to escape from it all by retiring to some 'fantasy land' where you are permitted to RELAX and get back your strength.

Wow.. on the needle point.. But, it doesn't tell you how you should react, or what you need to do to help; seems a bit pointless to tell you something you already know. How typical of situations.

Here's my remedy on feeling better. A Warm bath with good smelling salts, some prayer and deep talk with God, giving myself a pedicure, listening to uplifting music that makes me sing along, watch feel good movies with popcorn, go for a peaceful walk in a parklike setting, making my favorite dish and then sharing it with a friend, window shopping(sometimes), spending time with a pet or friends cats, a good cry with plenty of soft tissue- a warm blanket- soft slippers- clean hair/smell good- and soft robe, asking for hugs when I am feeling untouchable, writing down how I feel and read it over and over again to help process it faster-crying in the process, then maybe a warm treat like cooked chocolate pudding/banana my favorite.

Hugs

I suggest a weekend in flannel watching a movie with a cup of hot tea/coco/both. Regrounding. Doing katas. Watching movies. Just relaxing.
