How are you coping today?

I am doing good,nothing major to do today just rest and I handled doing that well.The diet is going good and I have stayed away from sugar and all foods heavily laden with it.

Can’t stand hearing someone chew their food, argh, misphonia.

Hello. I was just wondering where you get the cbt worksheets? I'm interested in them and would like to know how and if they help you? I need to do something. my main problem is isolating not because I want to but because i'm stuck without a vehicle and I don't go many places. So any literature or worksheets that I can get a hold of would be most appreciated. Thank You,

Hi there. I too try to stay positive. I've started using a mood tracker for all my daily events and moods and I journal a lot. I have many issues, number one being Bipolar but I am also very isolated with nobody to talk to about my mental health problems. I used to go to a Psychiatrist but her and I had a falling out you might say and haven't been back in over 2 years now. What I miss is the group therapy we used to have at the clinic I would attend. Now I am home all day every day by myself with my self help books and coping skills that sometimes work and most of the time don't. So as of this past week, I haven't been coping well at all. And to make matters worse, my husband whom I don't live with but see every day is in a catatonic state and depression which is making mine worse or maybe I should day helpless. Any encouragement or words of wisdom would be most appreciated. Thank You.

me either. I'ts a pet peeve I have I guess you can say.

I am struggling,I can't stick to what I planned to do,I have chores but I think I will go see a film instead,it is like I am a child again and I want to skip school and go round town.I just have to indulge my inner child.

Doing the best I can. My brother yelled at me for waking him up to ask him something, and that was really upsetting to me. I tried to keep my cool but I was not perfect either. It's hard with someone who has issues (he won't get help) and that we've known each other for so long. We know each others buttons.

Anyway, I left the house to get some breathing room. It helped. I hope it helped him too.

Also I have therapy today. YAY!!

Apart from some jealousy about the obsession object, today has been fine, haven't had much to do though.

I am not coping within myself.

everything is wrong with the world, everything is blah, everything needs fixing.

I did my shopping though yesterday. I massively overspent (which is probably not healthy), but have what I need for the week ahead (plus a few more luxuries I decided to pick up that wern't on my list)

I love retail therapy, I just wish it cured depression and sadness

by the way, I didn't have enough money to get everything I wanted.

had to rush home to get more, then rush back

bit embarrassing

Not very well because I was kept awake all night and have been tired all day. I had quite a lot of housework to do and struggled to fit it all in. And I just didn't have the energy, which made it worse. I've done everything now so I feel a bit better.

I’m coping pretty well today.

I woke up feeling refreshed.It is early yet but I think I will cope ok today.I only have a few chores to do,then the day is mine to do what I like with.

Got up ridiculously late today. I have no choice but to just give up on everything and not care, because there's not enough time in the day to do everything I need to. If I tried, I'd just get stressed and make myself ill, and I still couldn't do it all, it's impossible.

I feel really bad because I didn't know that I mess up my sister laptop when I borrow it.

I went out so I didn't have to sit alone at home,I am keeping distracted so that I don't have to feel my emotions,I am numb inside anyway,and feel like I am going through a dark period in my life.Or it might just be the January blues,in fact today is blue Monday,the third Monday in January is the one when people get seriously depressed,after spending too much at xmas and failing to stick to their new year resolutions and reflecting on the disappointments of last year,everyone goes into a downer.I guess I have been hit by the blue Monday bug.I am coping by going out a lot so that I don't have to make do with being completely alone but can lose myself in the crowd,even small talk with the woman working at the cafe and the cinema staff and newsagents kiosk is better than sitting at home asking myself how I really feel about my life.Cos if I were to answer that question I'd say my life so far is a disappointment.There it is out in the open now.My life is a disappointment!

I am sorry about the theft!

That great! I wish I could say that

I feel sad all the time!

Not off to a good start. 8:21 AM and the creepy neighbors have already let their dog loose in the street to play in front of my house twice, which riles my dogs up, obviously! You just know they do it on purpose.

Then, major road work started on a street a block away yesterday. They were tearing up the pavement with heavy machinery and I am pretty sure it will start up again soon this morning.

It is hard to keep myself together. I work from home, so all of this noise and distraction is terrible for being able to get anything done.

Bad anxiety attack

I am coping badly today,I got bullied and I am upset about it.

I am coping well. I am glad and proud that I survived till this day and I am not sorry for today.

My self esteem and confidence plummeted after I got bullied yesterday.I am gradually coming to see that it isn't me or anything I did wrong,but the bullies own inadequacies that caused them to bully me.It is hard not to feel inferior and defective cos the bullies made fun of things that are me that I can't change,and it is cruel to treat me with hate.I think they also didn't like me because I am an ethnic minority so I was dealing with abuse because I am not English.I feel bad because I allowed them to continue and didn't stop them,and I just ignored the bullying so of course they felt emboldened to continue.Also in the art class I wasn't fully aware and attentive that day and was mentally distracted and withdrawn and kind of daydreaming which meant that made me even more of a target for the bullies.I wanted to do the art class,but the type of art we were doing I wasn't enjoying so in a way I am glad I have withdrawn from the class.Maybe there are other art classes more suited to me.Next time I will make sure I am in full awareness in classes and if bullied I will make sure I confront it at the time it happens.

Hyperventilate yesterday and part of today!

I am being bullied on YouTube.
