From The Girl Losing Herself In A Funk

That awful feeling when you just aren't yourself anymore.

From The Girl Losing Herself In A Funk
Skyler Anderson

Recently I have been in a funk. I just don't feel like myself anymore. I don't know what's wrong.

Maybe it's the stress of starting classes again after breaking. Maybe it's trying to work as much as I possibly can. Maybe it's taking on new roles in my sorority. Whatever it is, it bugs me. I get in these moods where I snap at people, I feel bad about myself and my appearance, I have no motivation. But the worst part is, I literally have no idea why I feel this way.

I think everyone goes through these funks where something just isn't right. It's hard. Its hard to figure yourself out and be introspective. It's hard to make yourself feel better again.

Somethings that I do include listening to music, taking hot baths, watching my favorite show, dressing nicer, eating healthier, or picking up an old hobby.

Maybe I will feel better if I just dance around my room for hours. Maybe then I will figure out my purpose and the big issue that's bothering me.

All that being said, stay strong. Know that everyone gets this way sometimes and its normal. Things change in your life and your feelings and emotions will change as well, but you just have to roll with the punches. You'll get back to the place you want to be, I promise. Don't let this feeling win.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
