How are you coping today?

Work, a lot of chili’s, and a lot of TV and my phone. It’s been rough but I’m pushing throughZ

I'm doing ok despite my mother's defiant attitude. I will be alright. I was very mad at her stupid remarks. But, she is ill too without taking medication or seeing a psychiatrist. I have had such a hard time dealing with her. I can't believe at my age she is still trying to control me. Some things never change. My father is afraid of her. He told me he does not like arguing with her so he just gives into her whims. It is sad.

I wonder if you could find that 47K job outside of Chicago? There are some areas of the country where you could make it on that much. In order to make you feel better, I opened my tax return that I filed earlier this year. I only made 6K plus I had disability payments until Febrary or March 2018 (I honestly can't remember now because my brain is fried from working all day). I am totally dependent upon my husband financially. Do you support others? 47K would be tough if you support others or if you have a mortgage or rent in an expensive city like Chicago. You are not a failure. Lots of people are poor, poor, poor in the world. My son lives in a tent. There are always those whom are better and those whom are worse of than us and life doesn't always go as expected but hang around long enough and don't give up (hope that is not triggering as you ARE trying since you went to therapy--sometimes we feel bad after therapy because we discuss our pain there but understanding our pain might, hopefully, someday, set us free?) We are prisoners of our own mind and attitudes sometimes but they are hard habits to break. Hey, I am GLAD you are expressing your pain!!! Hugs.

Your username is lost so you ARE trying to find yourself. Trying is a step in the right direction.

I feel kind of sick and these thoughts in my head are just making it worst.

I'm not coping at all. I feel I have no one I can talk to. My daughters and husband are very distant. Why am I here?

I feel fine and am taking it easy. The weather is dreary but my spirits are fine. My mother and I are getting along again. I washed two loads of laundry too. I think the day will go well.

I coped ok with the day.I was angered by a creditor taking an instalment out of my bank account a week early,using up my food shop money.I demanded a refund,then they paid it back and paid it back twice,so this company's accounts department doesn't know what they are doing.I have to pay them back tomorrow but I cancelled the direct debit so they can only take money that I give them now they can no longer help themselves any date they feel like it.This incident angered me a lot today and made it difficult for me to cope.I am still upset about it cos when I set up the direct debits I tried to get exact dates off of them and they insisted on being vague about that.It is still upsetting me now to think about it.In any case I think the money was put back in time for me to get the food shop paid for it is in the pending queue at the bank and my food shop is due to be delivered between 8.30pm and 9pm tonight,so should know then if all went through ok.

I'm not.

I told myself to stop whining, I have nothing to worry about. everything in my life is great, just calm down and stop worrying. Focus on the positives. Finding stuff to look forward to. 3 Xanax. I know people with mental illness don’t like being told they have nothing to be anxious about and everything is great. but this actually really helps me when people tell me it. I also know that most everyone I know has it way worse then I do. So I shouldn’t be complaining. I have to create my own happiness and most of the time I can do that. Today was rough. At least I’m not bringing anyone else down with me.

I’m coping ok today.

I'm coping really well. It was a good day today.

apart from having my shower (and being in enormous amounts of pain) quite well.

been spending a lot of time updating my music collection.

I'm really happy with how it's going and how much it's grown

I am doing well. The weather is nice today. I am doing more and am happy. I am losing weight and am focusing on recovering from my previous psychotic episode. I finally can distinguish reality from my imagination. This is good for me. Otherwise, I can't work anymore. I want to work again. I'm thinking of becoming a real estate agent. We shall see.

I have no plans this weekend (not one) and it's sort of depressing.

I am doing great. All smiles here. I feel fine. This weekend is going well. The weather is nice.

I spent the morning watching a show, and I now can't watch the next part because my tv didn't record it so I'm really anxious that I won't be able to ever finish it

their's 4 episodes and I don't have episode 3, so I am very anxious.

I didn't sleep again which sucked, but it's something I'm sort of used to

did I mention I want some biscuits and don't have any?

I slept all day today so tonight I am still sleepy and drowsy.I have a few chores to do before bed.I have my beautiful affectionate cats here to look after,if it weren't for them I would be really lost,they look after me or make sure I look after all of us,I love them so badly.I have things I want to achieve but lately I don't have the energy to put into them.So I did cope today but I coped by sleeping all day which isn't good really!

My anxiety was kind of bad. My moods were decent. The 100 milligram increase of Geodon wasn’t working. It was just causing extreme anger and I gained 4 pounds in 2 days because of the uncontrollable hunger. Which I think was why I was so angry. All I wanted to do was eat and nothing was filling me up. I took my old dose tonight and already my anger has settled down and my hunger is cut in half.

I'm starting to feel better

I feel fine!

I am sad and feeling overwhelmed.I am still trying though and still motivated to improve myself,even though I am low in moods and lacking energy most of the time.I don't know why I haven't given up yet,I must enjoy life and want to succeed.If I can meet my health goals I might be able to aim outside my comfort one.

I feel great!

I'm doing really great today! I'm excited about the new classes I signed up for at the mental health recovery center I go too. I think they will challenge me but in a good way.

I'm in severe anguish and don't know how I'm going to keep living.
