I know it's hard when you are tired, the baby wont sleep/stop crying and you can't get anything done, but it really does help from adding fuel to the fire. It also helps to recolonize that it is not your fault or the babies fault and that there is tomorrow to do X,Y,&amp;Z. The other thing that is a huge lifesaver for me is that my mom lives close and helps out when she can, even if she is just with me, but I am still doing everything, it's a help! </p> <p>Oh I hear you on the mama lack of sleep as well. I'm averaging 3-4 hours a night, and those are not solid hours :( DH is on a crazy work schedule so I do everything with our son. Makes for one tired, but fulfilled mama. **Hugs** </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-through-a-bad-day#post-13926 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 11:39:31 +0000 T.H.O.U. 13926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs! I know for me I typically cancel any plans I can to simplify my day and try to just veg out at the house as much as possible. Put on some music or a favorite movie. Grab some chocolate and try to relax </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-through-a-bad-day#post-13601 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 20:30:59 +0000 SAHM0811 13601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aww, hope you gets lots more "me" time. those kinds of days are just tough, I know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-through-a-bad-day#post-13599 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 20:27:29 +0000 cupcakemama 13599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awwww. Hugs! I lost it this morning because I didn't have time to walk to the hairdressers and had to drive. How stupid is that! Mostly I think the stress (read: mess) of starting solids is killing me. I remind myself how lucky I am to have these "problems"... after I have had a good cry. Starbucks therapy is always a winner - cheaper than retail therapy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-through-a-bad-day#post-13567 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:26:50 +0000 yin 13567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*hug*</p> <p>We all have our bad days, and I hope today will end on a good note. Glad that you can get out of the house for a bit. That always helps me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-through-a-bad-day#post-13557 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:08:24 +0000 heffalump 13557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Painting usually works wonders for me. I'm an art therapist (well I'm a SAHM, but my degree is in art therapy). I'm a true believer in using art as my therapy! Whenever I have a bad day I ask my hubby to watch the baby for an hour so I can get some sort of craft or painting done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-through-a-bad-day#post-13556 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:07:10 +0000 Andrea 13556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies - that sounds great that you can leave the house! I hope your friend lets you vent a bit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-through-a-bad-day#post-13545 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:51:07 +0000 Mrs. D 13545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take a nap, but have in the past had bubble baths with candles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-through-a-bad-day#post-13528 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:14:22 +0000 Rubies 13528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks you guys...Seriously, does Hellobee have to go public? I like you all alot like this. :)</p> <p>I'm leaving LO with the hubs in an hour to go to Starbucks with a friend. That's all I can manage today as LO is tremendously fussy.</p> <p>Tomorrow? I'm taking a couple of hours. </p> <p>SIGH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-through-a-bad-day#post-13494 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 17:15:47 +0000 Andrea 13494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have a good cry session? Not the most uplifting suggestion but a good cry gives me a release and makes me feel better. </p> <p>*HUGS* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-through-a-bad-day#post-13458 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 16:11:10 +0000 chopsuey 13458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You poor thing!! :(<br /> Sending internet hugs your way...<br /> I would go for a walk.. go to the mall.. leave the baby with the husband and have some you time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-through-a-bad-day#post-13457 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 16:10:21 +0000 Mrsbells 13457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww.. I love music so I'll just sit in a room by myself and listen to somethinencouraging and soothing and that usually helps me feel positive again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-through-a-bad-day#post-13447 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 15:58:18 +0000 Rubies 13447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having a TERRIBLE day and would like some internet hugs, please. UGH...Arguing with the hubs...Screaming baby who won't nap...Family photo session cut short because of screaming baby who won't nap...Had my makeup done and the lady spent 20 minutes trying to cover up my undereye circles...Feeling frumpy and gross...Tired...Spilled Coke in my car...Feeling achy and miserable.</p> <p>We've all been there. How do you get through it? </p>
