How are you coping today?

quite well, though I wish I didn't waste another entire day doing nothing at all

I opened my advent calendar today (door number 1). woohoo

that's what I did in the whole day

Coped quite well today,got my housework chores done.Made an oven macaroni dish with bechamel sauce topping,ate some and took me evening meds just now.Am pleased with how I coped today.

I have accomplished nothing today.

nothing at all.

so yeah...

Coped well with practicalities today, Work and volunteering went well.

Emotionally I guess I am coping with the situation I have at the moment, but not happy about it.

Extremely stressed this morning. Not in the mood to work at all. Feeling very overwhelmed with the tasks I need to accomplish and not feeling motivated to want to do anything. Nervous about an interview I need to conduct this afternoon and wishing I could just cancel it and go back to bed.

it has been a high day of anxiety today, since yesterday I had to deal with a lot of traumatic memories and it's still affecting me.

plus side from today is that I got to hear from my friend who moved to thailand (he emailed me)

even though it was short and brief, good to know he is okay and he is enjoying himself

Decently. I am listening to music I like, and that's entertaining enough for this morning.

can I just say how much your username makes me smile?

everytime I read it I think to myself I'd waste it, I don't like the stuff, then smile at the thought.

Coped well today, spent time with my family!

Struggling today, getting depressed about how badly I treated my body and all the sugar and junk food I used to eat.
I have been chronically ill for 35 years so just realising how I should do things differently.
I have always known what's healthy and what's bad but I had addictions to sugar and junk food and an eating disorder,
my eating has always been out of control but these last nine years were worse, I gained weight and was unable to exercise and due to depression I'd
comfort eat and it was a vicious cycle. I feel bad that I didn't take care of myself for so long. As well as physical illness I had mental illness and I focused on the problems associated with that and also I suffered loads of abuse from my narcissist sister. I don't blame her I blame myself. I shouldn't have put every one else and their needs above my own. I have a lot of regrets that I am thinking about today.

Great because I got up early. I have left the negativity of yesterday behind. That's in the past now, it's gone. I'm leaving it there in the past, which doesn't exist anymore. All I have is the present moment, and right now I choose to feel good and move on. I got up early, got started on things and have a good amount of things ticked off my to do list already. And this afternoon I'm going to do things I enjoy (reading and drawing).

today is national cookie day.

and I really want some cookies!.

2 words: chocolate chip. I love them.

who else likes cookies?

I also entered a compitition today: to win a chocolate hamper for christmas

MMM hope I win, or at least have given the correct answers

showered today too

I am still anxious about my health and I feel it is going to take a long time to lose the amount of weight that I
need to lose.

Life sucks...not coping well at all. Just wish it could end.

Horrible I woke up to swollen cheek because I have no dental insurance and no dentist will take me in for infected tooth and gum. So now I am having anxiety attack.

Haha. I am glad it is amusing--I meant it to be sort of that way--because it was from a random generator thing .

Coping...fine I guess. I AM procrastinating. I'm a big procrastinator.

I am doing well but caught a cold again! I was over the last one almost but my dad has a severe cold now again. The whole family is sick. I am resting by sleeping and taking it easy. I have a headache and muscle aches. My chest is congested too. I will be ok nevertheless.

I am just about coping, hanging on by a thread.

Congratulations

I am better today. I managed to calm down.

I am struggling today I feel lost and a little afraid but won't admit it to anyone.
I am unsure of the future and what's to come, the world is now a scary place.
Do any of you feel that too?

This week is about connecting me to county resources:

-qualified for a spot in my county's dislocated workers program
-going to the career force center re-employment orientation (I need to attend this to qualify for unemployment benefits and the dislocated workers program)
-re-activated my unemployment so I can call and claim benefits in between temp jobs (the weekly amount is less than $200/week for me but something is better than nothing)
-re-applied for my SNAP food stamps
-meeting w/a temp agency manager (she's in her 50s) to discuss my resume reformatting
-left vmail w/my roommate's sister to discuss renting from my roommate in January and February and March (that's how long the waiting list is for a 1 bdrm apt the dislocated workers program can help me qualify for)

My hope is that 2020 marks the end of my unemployment and the start of a real full-time job that I won't be fired from.
