THIS post. But it's personal- it's what YOU think is pouring your heart out. Please grab the PYHO button or link back in your post if you are participating.
Again, just a brief reminder that everyone linking is pouring their hearts out and we should all be respectful in our comments. ;)
Sometimes, I just don't want to talk about it.
About the things that are stressing me out.
While venting can help and writing things down sometimes makes me see things in a new light, there are times when I just don't want to.
Instead, I want to bury my head in the sand or put my hands over my ears and sing lalalalala or smile and pretend it's all okay.
So, that's what I'm going to do today.
It might not do anything to help any of the situations weighing on me.
But, it will get me through the next few days.
And maybe, just maybe, things will get better.
For that hope, I am thankful.
Please note: I'm visiting with family over the next few days. If you don't get an immediate visit or response, know I'll be back next week.

I know that it's easier to ignore the things that are bothering you but talk to a friend.. your husband... anyone. You'll feel so much better!
Hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!
I feel the same way, Shell.
I'm hosting Thanksgiving tomorrow here so I took the humor way out on my post today, but I"m stressed.
Thinking about you and Happy Thanksgiving sweet friend. xo
I hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving. I bury my head in the sand more often than I would like to admit.
I understand, I so totally understand! I've been taking this tactic with my mother...some things will just never change... why talk about it over and over and over again!
Oh yes! There are more days than I want to count that I want to just stay in bed with the covers pulled over my head.
I hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and you get some much needed downtime.
Thinking of you!
Happy Thanksgiving!
There are many days where I wish I could hide and have things just go away.
Hugs to you. I hope you have a happy turkey day.

there are many days when I have bouts of depression, but I just want to work things out myself. Hope time with your family lifts your spirts! Happy Turkey Day!
Oh Shell, I'm sorry you're feeling stressed out. Sending positive vibes and thoughts your way, though with your head in the sand, they're landing somewhere near your tush. Sorry about that :)
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Sometimes I have to fake it till I feel it:) Hope you have a great long weekend!
I know what you mean. Hang in there, and try and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
I do the same things sometimes. I get it. Hope things get better.
I've had that feeling myself lately too. Seems like everyone I know is in a rut right now...hoping yours gets brighter soon. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Awww, so sorry Shell. Hope some time away helps you feel a little better. Have a great Thanksgiving.
You know my story, LoL. Definite times I don't want to talk but, I can be a great listener. LoL
Happy Thanksgiving Shell!
Hugs and prayers!
I think we all do that at one time or another. Tired of their constantly being a new situation to deal with, tired of it being day after day of stress and worry.. so we just ignore it. If only for a day or two so we can catch our breath before leaping back in with both feet.
Sometimes it is just easier eh? It's ok. I just hope that you know that we are all here for you and ready to support you always.
Sending you much love and hugs.
Thanks sharing that Shell, I'm feeling EXACTLY like this today... and probably have been for a few days, maybe I DO need to talk about it?
Sheila
Happy Thanksgiving - hope your weight is lifted soon.
Hugsies!
(Is hugsies still a thing?)
(Or was it ever a thing?)
(Seriously, anyone? Etymology of hugsies?)
(This might be why I'm not considered great at offering support.)
Hugs to you...or hugsies, if Megan finds out of that's OK anymore ;)
I can really relate to how you're feeling. I think, sometimes, if I talk to anyone about it, I will either sound like a stark raving lunatic, a mean girl, or make it worse. So I hide until I can get through it and reason it all out later.
Try your best to have a great holiday :)
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Shell!!! XOXO, Ali
Big Hugs to you.
I understand. Sometimes, in the moment, things are better left unsaid. Things will work itself out. Hang in there.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
Sometimes that is the best way to handle things for your sanity! Wishing you all the best and for things to get better! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
Hugs for you. There are times I feel this way too. Sometimes I just hate being a grownup, ya know? Hope the Holiday brings some peace and lots of joy.
Wishing you the best and hope that you can get through all your stress Shell. I'm here if you need anything!
Yea, sometimes you don't wanna do anything, not even address the problem, and just clear your head. Perfectly acceptable! Whatever it takes to help you feel better!
Have a great time with family!
Hang in there, friend. *hugs* Hope you have a wonderful Holiday!
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving and spending time with family!
I totally get it. I hope you have a stress free holiday!
I hope you have a great Thanksgiving...even if you are probably spending some time with family that you don't want to. But at least you've got your wonderful boys and husband to spend it with!
I know exactly what you mean, Shell. I'm so sorry you're feeling weighed down. But I hope you have a great Thanksgiving and come back feeling better! If there's ever anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate!
Denial in small doses can be the best medicine. I hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful and you come back next week with things a bit better
I hope things feel better soon, Shell. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
hang in there sweetie do what you gotta do! happy thanksgiving
I'm the same way. Keep your head up hun.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Sometimes all you need to do is put your head in your hands and throw your problems UP and let Him help. :)
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
Shell, you took the words right out of my mouth. Or thoughts right out of my head. Sometimes, it's nice to just bury your head in the sand for a bit.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Sometimes la-la-la-ing it out isn't so bad.
Happy Thanksgiving, Mama! Much love to you! xo
it's something we ALL do, at some point or another, for one reason or another... sometimes it's not such a bad plan, other times it really would be better to talk it out, but you're the only one who knows which works for you, and when. hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. xo
Hope things get better for you soon!
We all do that from time to time! Sometimes it's easier to just sweep things under the carpet and deal with them at a later time, when we feel more emotionally capable of handling it.
Have a wonderful, joyous Thanksgiving with your family!!!
Oh, Shell! I know the feeling. Sometimes it's good to just be alone with your thoughts, and maybe have a good cry. But, when you're ready to talk about it, I'll be here to listen and read.
Here's to a happy Thanksgiving and drowning our sorrows/stresses in pie!!
Sometimes I feel the same way. I just don't want to talk! I feel you.
I understand.so.very.much.
Praying for you!!
Hope you have a good Thanksgiving, and a chance to set some of that stress aside and enjoy your family.
I understand. Completely. I'll be doing the same thing this Thanksgiving. In fact, I don't even want to put on a happy face; I want to stop hiding behind a happy facade and shout my issues to the world - just get them out there and have it over with. But there's a time and a place. And so I'll just put on that happy face. Blah.
Oh how I understand! In fact, just yesterday - I hit a dark place and stayed in my bed the entire day. Crying, sleeping, and hiding under the covers.
Sometimes we just need those days
Hopefully we will get a chance to chat before you have to leave town. Silly bil really imposed on that today!
I hear ya! Sometimes it's not saying something that makes all the difference. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hang in there, sometimes it is ok to just hide. ((hugs))
That's what you need sometimes!
Happy Thanksgiving Shell!
Sometimes just putting a lid on things helps and maybe when you're ready to face the problems again they won't seem so big. Have a wonderful thanksgiving!
I know what you are going through. Sometimes I feel like I can't get my problems out fast enough, but other times, I find satisfaction in letting them simmer below the surface in silence. Hope things work themselves out soon!
I so completely understand. Sometimes I just want to crawl inside myself and forget the crappy parts of my world. I know people think you should talk it out. I also want to shut them out. I am who I am. And you are who you are. I just want you to take best care of you.
Yep. I've mostly been doing that too. But then I finally wrote a PYHO post this week and then I forgot to link up. :) Ah well, writing it helped.
