How are you coping today?

OK, I guess. Not bad, not great.

apart from that I've been coping okay, I think, I lost some time in the afternoon and I've gotten nothing accomplished, but it's an average day- and given how bad I've been feeling lately I suppose their's at least some relief that today is not as bad as some others

Sorry about your decorations. I hate when you order things that don't live up to your expectations. Is it possible to return them?

we're meant to be getting snow this weekend.

and honestly?

I love, love, love snow, and it is all that is on my mind. I really hope now that our area does get to see some.

only thing accomplished today was showering so at least I don't smell.

lol... I didn't anyway. I just try to shower every friday.

been feeling okay

Very well since I was allowed to sleep a lot last night. Though I did get up late and had a lot to do, I did feel some stress but stayed calm and just did what I could, as I could.

Hiding in the bedroom crying, in a bad mood while my family eats the dinner I made. It’s been more than three weeks of sadness after falling out with FOO. Called off the divorce and back into same dysfunctional marriage. I’m an emotional goner now.

yesterday evening I abandoned all plans of a cooked meal and just had a KFC!. it was delicious, 8 peaces of chicken, chips and a coke

afterwards I tried to settle down and watch " women on the verge", but was having really bad focus issues, and I ended up... well, I don't remember what I did- I lost time.

no sleep making it yet another sleepless week.
today so far had breakfast and dressed, put music on and came on here.

I feel average... not bad, but not really good- nothing I'm looking forward to or anything

I'm present though. I'm here. I'm in 2018

Honestly, I don’t really know. I just go through the motions. I do have a lot of gratitude. I know it’s a cliche but things COULD be a lot worse. Just want to have peace of mind. Get rid of that feeling that something always has to be done. Don’t know how to relax or have fun. Something will always need to be done. Whether I’m around or not. People do a lot of different things to get out of feeling their own feelings. If that makes any sense.
Best wishes to all....

Great because I got up early and had time to fit everything in and now I'm finished and can do other things.

Oct 28, 2018 at 01:27 AM

stuffed myself silly yesterday

had southern fried chicken (or in other words a repeat of friday), with biscuits and a whole tub of candy

didn't sleep, and it's now 6 23 and I'm wondering- anyone else up?. lol

seriously though,, 6 23, on an english sunday morning, how many people are up at this time?

imsomnia sucks

I’m coping with sadness and anger from being written off by my family. The bottom line is I am of no value to them. I’m the only one upset about this rift. They simply will never call me again. I acted reasonably and wished happy birthday to my sister in an e-mail. She wrote back thank you. But that’s all I’m getting. Mom told my husband that I can call her as long as I move forward and never bring up anything from the past. So I’m not calling her. So I just have to cope with estrangement.

I am not coping well today! Too many bills, no $, gota figure something out!!!

She told your husband this verses YOU? That is very strange indeed.

He called her the other day on my behalf to try to make peace and that’s what she told him. She also lied to him that I told her “F you and don’t ever call me again.” That never happened. She always lies and twists it.

I regret putting my h up to calling her. That was wrong of me. He didn’t take it upon himself to step in ever. His lack of defense of me really hurts me deeply but that’s not who he is.

It got back to me from my other sister that it was discussed with Mom that I was traumatized from her screaming at me to eat and making me cry hysterically at the dinner table. Mom supposedly replied she had no choice but to scream as I wouldn’t eat.

That’s why she forbids me to talk about anything from the past. She doesn’t want to own up to being abusive.

This is why my husband and son do not get along. My son keeps wanting him to acknowledge some things that he thought was wrong. His dad emphasizes all the things that he has done for our son (there were many good things he did for him but there was also yelling). That he won't just acknowledge (even if he agrees to disagree) some of our son's feelings about this has made it so they are an impasse. It is so sad and tragic and I don't know if it will ever change.

I think it’s a trait of narcissism and it won’t ever change. I’m sorry for you and your son. If his father would show some compassion it would build a bridge between them but he won’t admit any wrongdoing.

Coping okay. Eating candy and being on the internet, lol.

Went to church and meditation today. It's the first day in my plan to go 5 times in a row.

Oct 29, 2018 at 07:05 AM

I was meant to go out today (to do something for my inner child), butt circumstances mean I can't.
so at home just pretending to survive... eating stupid amounts of junkfood, watching programmes I don't wanna really watch, that kind of thing

I also got a new book called the sisterhood. honestly I should start that at some point today, but I can't be bothered.

Oct 29, 2018 at 02:12 PM

be glad when today's over

Marylin · Oct 30, 2018 at 12:53 AM

I am coping with tendonitis by getting up early(after going to bed early)and trying to get an appointment at the doctor's for today.There are no pre bookable appointment so have to try bag one when the mornings available slots are released at 8am this morning.Two hours to go,have been doing chores to keep me busy.I think I will have a good day.Yoga has been changed from this morning to wednesday evening so that i can go to the doctor and I am going to my favourite cafe for a meal and a coffee.I may watch a film later too.
