I can’t be bothered to motivate myself today. I have a doom feeling come over me.
The feeling that drains and zaps your energy for short periods, where things just feel blah. Does anyone else get that feeling? I know the feeling will pass.

Just take it easy . There is probably nothing that cannot wait another day. Just rest.
Thanks for your concern Randy. I'm resting.
So sorry to hear that you're having a rough day. Hopefully it won't last too long and that you try to have a better day. Just hang in there!
Thanks Randy. Will do.
Only Randy's replies today; interesting.
You're right Randy, today is quiet... but that's fine.
I felt like you do a few days ago and I think mine is related to the weather.
We've had enough cool, dreary days now. I'm ready for the sunshine and it just came out a little a while ago.
I hope you feel more like yourself soon.
Thanks Lisa. I know exactly how you feel. Glad you feel better.
I am sure it happens to the majority of us. I have a lot of those days too.
Usually when something happens that reminds me that I have CP. It passes.
It's good to have support when it does. It doesn't matter where the support comes from.
I think that most of us have days like that, for one reason or another.
I find that ice cream helps! 🙂
I think you're right. Most of us probably do. Not sure about the ice cream though!
