My dolls, I am feeling very sad and overwhelmed today. Does that sometimes happen to you? Alex says I must be missing Buddy Holly, who died fifty years ago today.
Le sigh.

it happens to me often. and i immediately eat my favourite food, call a friend and put on a old sitcom episode if i can. If i can’t, i look try to look forward to doing that as soon as I can.
Really useful information, thanks for the post.
it might be due to some kind of post partum wedding thing. i found i had the blues for a few days–after all the hoopla–and then it’s gloomy fall weather.

Cute! :D
What always makes me feel better is whenever I see anyone smiling.
Maybe a walk outside will help. Watch some kids playing and I’m sure you’ll find something to smile about.
yes! i have had two back to back sad days, but at least you can tell your note alone – 122 comments down the line.
Oh I am so right there with you!
Ugh…but-we just got back from a trip to someplace sunny, so I hope I’m on the mend. I am hoping that you are feeling better today, too. Hugs to you :)
Unfortunately, yes this happens to me. I discussed the same problem here: http://springcart.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/01/i-dont-mind-sharing.html
I hope that you are feeling better.
That is such a beautiful picture of you!
Oh, I’m so sorry. I’m glad you are feeling back to yourself today. The weather does not help matters, that’s for sure.
Everybody knows that when you’re BLAH, you’re supposed to exercise, but who wants to when you’re blah? So here is a quote from Oprah magazine: “The first few minutes of preparing for an activity are the most difficult. Focus just on the five minutes it will take to put your shoes on and get out the door. Momentum will carry you.” And if you can’t even get out the door, you can try this from the personal trainer of Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow:

There is no jumping around, and you pretty much just lie on the floor the whole time, but it is so impossible to keep up that you will be laughing like crazy in no time! I do one move for every nine she does, and I’m still sore everywhere the next day. Go get a Madonna body, and you’ll never be sad again!
I hear you on this — it’s something I struggle with, too. A brisk walk outside for a change of scene and a dose of sunshine, something a little indulgent (those hot chocolate suggestions sound great), something fun (the movie Zoolander always makes me laugh) and lots of snuggling work wonders. And might I add that you look utterly lovely here, too?
:-)
hang in there – it’s the season for mood changes and deep thought – warm cinnamon toast & tea does the trick for me…
How lovely that you have 113 comments wishing you well! This seems to be going around, the blues mixed with being overwhelmed. It happens to everyone doesn’t it? I hope you feel less blue very, very soon lovely Jo.
xo
Melis
ditto to the comments above. you are definitely not alone. we are so in need of spring!!! this too shall pass.
Well… I think we need SPRING to arrive PRONTO!! I hope things are looking a little brighter – you are such a dear, lovely friend to all of us who adore your blog … and you! :) This picture is lovely. (Did Alex take it?)
CHIN UP ,CHIN UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take vitamin D and try to get some exercise. With less sunlight you are probably, like most people, deficient so get yourself some supplements and hit the gym!
What a lovely girl. Even sad, still glowing and all
Im with Belly! One after another…
I had this exact same day yesterday!
when i feel down i put on my favorite dancy song …and i dance my blues away !
try it !
x
What a beautiful picture!
I don’t get sad during the winter, so much as lazy. The early darkness is a HUGE deterrent to my getting anything done. When it’s already dark by the time I get home, I can pretty much forget about doing anything creative, or even just doing laundry….I’m SO looking forward to longer days!
yesterday smacked me around a bit, too. getting out and about more today. having to meet people. that should help.
hope your wednesday is better, too.
Chin up, lovely! It happens to the best of us. I’m still mourning Agatha Christie x
I’m sending you a Big Hug!
nope, never happens here. what did you say, big fat liar, yep – you are right. cashmere blankets and brandy ease the pain of it all.
Hope you are feeling a bit better. This is a beautiful picture of you. xx
I love love Alex’s comment – so smart.
I was sad and lonely on a plane the other day and watched the IT crowd – a British sitcom and laughed out loud disturbing my fellow passengers. You should try that! If not just to see Moss’s afro in a side parting.
Or have you seen the you tube videos of Maru the cat…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPzNl6NKAG0&feature=channel_page
dearheart, I felt exactly the same yesterday, you are not alone! There doesn’t always have to be a reason and sometimes everything can be going right, you just feel wrong.
We have had such thick snow in London and been pretty much snowed in, fun for the first few hours and then just plain frustrating..we woke up to blue skies and lots of ice but things feel better today..I hope you feel better too. Chin up petal, this too shall pass.
Sarah xxx
It happens to the jolliest of all people. A manicure in a bright color, a walk in your favorite shoes or a delicious glass of wine or three can help bring a smile and come color back in to your day.
http://thegirlandtheshoe.blogspot.com/ ck my blog!
well, I know the feeling and I think i;m just feeling that today, don’t know why… :-<
very nice picture btw…
Hugs!
Sarah.
as u can see u r not the only one! it happens in the winter!
so weird, i’ve been feeling especially sad today, too. it’s comforting to know i’m not alone, in a way.
i do hope you feel better, keep in mind that tomorrow will be a better day!
treat yourself to your favorite food, watch a funny movie and cuddle with your lovely fiance :)
you’re amazing joanna, i admire you so much.
cheer up xx
We all have such days, my dear. But, I’m sorry that you’re feeling less than spectacular.
You’re lovely even when you’re sad though so, there’s that.
:-)
sorry to hear this.
get some sleep, chica!
i promise you’ll feel better tomorrow… :)
and if sleep doesn’t work, try ICE-CREAM.
it works for me…
I am so sorry. xoxoxo Lecia
because of you I have a the best umbrella and people from all over the world come to my blog. Even if it just lasts a week, it makes me happy. happy late birthday…p.s i’ve always had a crush on mick jagger too.
buck up love. all will be well…xoxox
I feel that way too some days. I blame it on the winter weather when I don’t feel like thinking about it too much. Because really, what’s with this NY weather? The snow was so pretty as I looked out the window today but step outside and it’s all umbrellas in my face, slush, wet boots and curb jumping a la Bill Cunningham. sigh.
I miss Buddy Holly too.
Joanna, I didn’t read all the comments (there were 87 when I read the post!) but, I live in Seattle…where, you know, there is NO sun in the winter. This was my 6th year here, and I wasn’t going to hibernate this year! Seriously, I would take 2 naps on my days off! Anyways, the answer is Vitamin D. I started taking Carlson Solar D gems (4000 iu!!) and I am a happy girl! I can’t believe the difference. Hope this helps….don’t want you to feel sad!
That is a lovely photo of you. I’m sorry to hear that you’re feeling blue. Taking a walk usually makes me feel better – hot chocolate never hurts – and try this — think of a song that has the word “love” in the title or the main, recognizable part of the song …. replace the word “love” with the word “lunch” and sing that version – loudly. hehe.
… my… endless lunch…
What’s lunch got to do, got to do with it…
Lunch shack, baby, lunch shack..
Can’t possibly feel blue while walking quickly or singing. It’s not possible! xo Isa
You should watch Flight of the Conchords. And then buy some tickets to one of their shows because THEY JUST ANNOUNCED A TOUR!
A double treat:

Joanna,
So sorry to hear you are feeling down today…it’s quite normal though. Everyone is a bit bored and glum in this time of the season. But take heart! The Spring is coming soon :-)
I don’t know if you like Yoga, but I find that it makes me feel a zillion times better. Also, hot baths with candles, and staying in all day on a Saturday with movies, magazines, hot tea and snacks.
Stephanie
I felt very down today as well. It was just a rough day overall I think, plus the weather didn’t help. I hope you cheer up soon…you have too beautiful a smile and great, happy eyes to be glum for too long! XOXOXOXOOX
Get happy soon!
oh no! I’m sorry you’re sad! Don’t be sad! We love you!
Oh Buddy Holly! My record player knows I need a pick-me-up when I put on one of his records. Wishing you lots of le happiness!
If that photo is your sad face, your sad face looks pretty good.
Sweet photo (even if you are feeling sad)! Blame it on biorhythms, and know it’ll pass very soon. I think you need some comfort food. Mashed spuds anyone?
Oh no Joanna.. Actually, it happened to me yesterday when it rained non-stop all day and the night before here, but it went away when my dear friend sent me a nice text wishing me a nice day. God, that was easy! lol
I think winter blue happens to many of us. I’m lucky to live in FL at this moment, but when I lived in NJ a few years ago, I remember thinking, “Gosh, it’s only 4pm and getting dark already..” – the sky is grey and the air is cold. No wonder why people get Winter Blue up north!
But you have this wonderful man who loves you for who you are, no matter what happens, that’s love. Alex may not like to see you feel sad, but he loves you anyway. That’s beautiful – and you’re beautiful!!!!
Think about your coming wedding – that will make you feel warm inside!!!
Feel better soon:) xoxo
ps. sorry this comment is so slong. lol
i am so sorry that you are sad today. i hope that you find your happy again soon. when i am feeling sad, i make some tea (licorice tea is my favorite) and then try to do something completely and ridiculously silly – like building a fort with pillows – or i bake. something about the smell of fresh-baked cookies always brings a smile to my face. i hope that you find something or someone to bring a smile to your face today.
… and that picture of you is fantastic!
aw this feeling appears to be universal today! We watched a bad but funny 80’s movie and invented a new breakfast to feel better.
Have a better rest of the week!
He’s a keeper…
I love your picture, sweet girl! You will feel better soon – the winter gets us all down from time to time. Happy days are around the corner and Florida sunshine is on the way!
I miss Buddy Holly. Your blog is warm and inviting and chic. I am sorry you are sad today. Your picture is beautiful. Keep smiling!
we just discussed Buddy Holly last week in Rock n Roll history class, it’s sad, his glasses were sweet!
well Im overwhelmed too, take a nap, it helps.
Try crying your eyes out. That’s what I do and then I feel much better.
Heavens to betsy, I’m feeling the same! I’ve been a total grumpy pants since I woke up. Winter is getting tiring. I’d like to have just popped out for a bit, but the thought of having to put on all of the layers required to face the snowglobe that is outside didn’t thrill me in the least. Moving up north has made me appreciate warmth SO much more. I lust for spring.
Hoping for a cheerier tomorrow! :)
missing buddy holly, that is adorable.
winter is the worst, we must all keep our chins up. it’s difficult, though.
I suffer of the winter sindrome as well.
Going out is what helps. In the winter I tend to stay more at home, and then I feel worse, and THEN I want to stay even more at home AND… you see where I’m going…
So, I guess the trick is to brake the cycle. I think it is too hard to do it on your own, so I suggest that you get some company! Sunny company always works! :D
I’m from South Africa, living in very very gloomy Ohio and I feel your pain. I got tired of being completely dysfunctional in the winter (as did everyone around me) so I finally invested in a SAD lamp. And it literally changed my life. I wrote a glowing endorsement of it here: http://momedy.blogspot.com/2008/12/warding-off-winter-blues.html and I even don’t get any kick-backs from the company but by jove, I should, since I have several friends who have bought them on the strength of my recommendation/getting a hit off my lamp and they all swear by it joyfully too. It will be the best 120 bucks you ever spent. For real.
Get one TODAY do not delay. (No really they don’t pay me.)
(Haven’t read all the other comments so if someone beat me to this recommendation…well then, I concur :)
Aww Joanna, everything will be all right! You are so fabulous! P.S. Alex is so cute with his Buddy Holly observation.
go get yourselfs an orgasm.
I love getting randomly deflated for no apparent reason even in sunny miami. When I lived in Boston I’d occasionally have to peel myself off the floor. Winter can be pretty rough sometimes.
More to Love
