How are you coping today?

difficult to say so early in the morning.

I didn't sleep (which is not a good start), and I am in massive amounts of pain (also not a good thing), but it is only 20 to 8 in the morning- who knows what today will hold yet

guess I am coping okay

been a slow day- and I have litirally done nothing accept for sit on a chair and play an online card game and think about my abuse, but I've been okay I guess

should probably do something... aqa, cook myself some food- but that's it for the entire day

I am coping well. All smiles from ear to ear. Happy is as happy does. I feel great!! I think it is because I found someone who cares about me and vice versa. My first bonafide sweetheart at the age of 50. Well, it's never too late to live life to its fullest.

Watching England....need I say more?

enjoying some sun on the deck so pretty well at the moment

My stomach is making a lot of funny noises

It was too hot I didn't like it.I came round to supporting England with the football but was in the pub when some England supporters got rowdy and started chanting God save the Queen,which put me off cos although I support my country I am not a monarchist or jingoistic patriot so that put me off.If it were up to me we wouldn't have a monarchy.So I mentioned this on an online chat group and they all turned out to support the royal family and started going on in favour of them.So I felt offended and fed up cos they are supposed to be a mental health chat group for support but all they go on about is the football and now it'll be the royal family.It is dominated by the same people this chat group so I was coping but am low now.I felt lonely today anyway,I was enjoying the pub until it got rowdy.I had a curry there,lovely chicken jalfrezi with rice,nan bread and poppadoms and chutney for special price of £2.99 so I could afford it plus a double malibu and orange and a diet pepsi.So it was good until it got rowdy.I had to leave so I did and went to the cafe a few doors down for a coffee,it made me feel lonely and excluded.....so I guess I am coping but I am low and sad.

I also have lots of chores to get done tomorrow but am worried I might not get them done if it is too hot and that upsets me but I might laze about through the hot hours of the day and wait until 4pm when it gets cooler to do the chores and cut the grass.

I am sort of coping and sort of not coping.I am tearful and I want companionship.

I'm coping pretty well except I feel sleepy. It's also very hot here.

Congratulations!It gives me hope I am a similar age to you and haven't found anyone yet...due to ill health...but I live in hope and am going to actively start searching for someone.It is good to hear someone has found love at our age.

I am ill too. I have schizoaffective disorder with bipolar. He has hemiplegia from a stroke. We both have challenges but we complement each other despite this. I truly care about him and vice versa. We aren't perfect health-wise but we are perfect for each other. I did not know he had hemiplegia until I met him. I met him online and he was fascinating to talk with via skype. So, I met him for coffee initially. He was so amazing to listen to that I was intellectually drawn to him. He travels internationally for business and has many stories to tell. I do like him very much. He is my sweetheart and teddy bear. I met him through a paid dating site. I am happy!! Thus, I recommend paid dating sites and to meet in person as soon as possible to see whether you'd get along. I also told him about my illness after he told me about his stroke because I wanted to make sure he knew about my situation and accepted my illness too. I don't know when is a good time to disclose illnesses but my situation is working out with him so, I believe, I did the right thing. Yes, there could be someone there for you too out there! Best Wishes!!


And, today, I feel fine still!! I'm still happy. I'm a little tired but doing well.

bpforever1, it's great when you find someone like that. I'm happy for you!. sounds indeed like you 2 are right for each other

coping okay.

even if the most exciting thing I've done in the entire day is fart

no kidding

my day today is completely empty

Thank you very much!! I miss him already since he left for London. I hope he is ok. He has not been on skype or the social media sites so far. I should not worry about him but do. He is trying to do everything on his own which is admirable! I do hope he is ok by himself flying first to Dubai then to London. I will wait for him to reply soon. I am coping ok and taught a class. Tomorrow, I go to the psych doctor. I'm happy although concerned about my new man. I will wait patiently and hope to hear good news from him again. Thank you again for your message and support!! It made my day!!

thankfully not too bad.
a little agitated this morning (just my anxiety making me agitated), but feel better now.

I’m coping fine today. I had a really good day.

I am low today but I guess you can say I am coping,yet I am lonely.Nothing I planned worked out,I went to see a film at the cinema but it was so daft and boring that I walked out,went and had a coffee frappe at the cafe instead and came back home.I am stuck indoors until therapy session on Monday and then I am visiting my mum on Tuesday.I have chores to do tomorrow,the never ending chores which I dread,if I don't keep up with the chores then I consider myself as not coping.So far it is ok!

I was up most of the night with a /trigger/toothache/trigger and my sisters will be here in a couple of hours.

Times like these I wish I had coke. But I guess prescription will have to do...meh

Not to sound too much of an addict, but I sure do miss the alcohol hangovers. At least they're justified by stupidity.

I feel like crap today

- watched a really pointless movie yesterday called gio storm (entirely wasted an hour or so on that movie)

- had dinner and got sick because it was that disgusting

-unable to rest/ relax/ lie down all evening

- meant to see someone today at 10 A.M, but the usual sinario.. half 11 and they arn't ****ing here

well I'm not wasting my time.. if they show up this afternoon I'm going to tell them where to go- people turning up late for things is my biggist annoyance

- no food in the house and very little money

life sucks at the moment

Hang on in there ragingvortex,I hope things get better soon!Sending love and best wishes.

I am coping better today,yesterday's therapy session helped.

I am going to the theatre and for a meal with my niece tomorrow so that will be good.

I am not coping today.

irritation level is especially really high

it sucks

This month, coping with anger, stress, and depression. I'm getting married in November, while trying to sell my dads condo after moving him into assisted living. Stress at work is really causing some anger issues. I've been seeing a therapist, but the anger continues. Yesterday I went for sleep study consultation on my lunch break, but spent an entire hour in the waiting room, and never saw the doctor. Finally, I just left. What a waste! I've spent the last 24 hours mad as hell about it. My doctor wants me to go to a sleep study, and I show up early, and spend a whole f&cking hour waiting for nothing!

((((hugs))))

sorry you are struggling

hope things get better

I am sad,worried and anxious today.I pretended I was ok.Really I felt lonely.I saw attractive men,and was full of desire but felt that I didn't stand a chance of them being interested in me.It made me feel like I was impotent and will never experience love,intimacy sex again.It hurts,it's painful.I coped but not well,I faked happiness but I am not happy.I only have my niece but I can't talk to her about this she is a lot younger than me and we don't talk about my love life or lack of it.

Coped really well with anxiety. Had a job interview and it closed very nicely. I really kept my anxiety in check!

Marylin I learned a little while back to not spend too much time feeling badly about what I may or may not have because you never know what is around the next corner. Keep keeping on!!!
