Not coping well at all - breaking down at least once a day. My new job is going to be the death of me. Wish a tornado would come and suck me up so I don’t have to deal with such great life stress anymore. I’ve had it and am nearly at the end of my rope.

Not today but it's not me. My H is stressed and is the only person on earth when that happens. I feel so inadequate.

I'm coping better than usual today. I played word games to relax and didn't overeat too much. I did yell at my dad when he got on my nerves though, I have to try to work more on not doing that.

Things could be better.I missed my diet class today I was just too tired and slept through the alarm.I wasn't feeling up to going anyway.I was sleepy all day today.The groceries were delivered and I put them away and I managed to dye my hair.I have been restless and anxious and feeling overwhelmed.Too many chores to do but I was lethargic and slept a lot today.There was family drama with my mum and narcissist sister and that has unsettled me.

I am feeling depressed.

I don't really want to talk about it- I have a grounding box in my room (which I use for when I am anxious or upset), and their's a certain item I want- and I can't get hold of it

my friend has one but it holds too many memories for her so she won't part with it.

I do understand, but... it would have been a nice adition

(and I can't just buy one, it would look strange)

I may post a thread about it at a later date.. I don't know

Not well tonight.Mum has deteriorated,she might have dementia,has gone blind,can't stand up,can't eat and has lost a lot of weight,she has a heart condition that causes her blood pressure to fall.I fear she might not have long left, she was born in 1929,which makes her 89.I am sad,gloomy,grieving....I am going to lose her.

I'm coping okay I guess. I feel sort of sad at the moment but I know pretty soon the sadness will passed. I was just triggered by something a bit ago.

Mum is still frail and has low blood pressure,she might live a little longer but she is 89 and in poor health,it is a matter of time before she passes away but I think I am handling it better.

I’m trying to distract myself. It’s difficult today because of my PMDD. Only 2.5 more days until I can take the placebo.

My mom said not to worry about this thing right now. But I can’t help but worry about it. Plus I’m getting pretty angry about it too.

i had a lot of housework to do in the past week and it seems like i have to do it all over again but i did get the dinner dishes done. the reason i do the dishes is because my husband cooks dinner every day and breakfast on sundays. i like it when i sit down after doing 2 or 3 loads of laundry, vaccum the rug and tidy up stuff on shelves. Then everything seems setteled and i can relax until the nest few days. i am still attending a senior center once a week and find it very enjoyable to be with others. i think i just had a bad week too because i had to go to 2 dr apts in one day and get my bloods drawn the same day as x rays on my knees too.

I am coping pretty well.

I still didn't find my lion king dvds, and I still didn't sleep, but it is a cool breezy day outside, it is quiet, and everything is how I like it..

That's true, it's not favoured.. but with Golax and increase fluids, not juice.. increase your fibre. Poop for a few days, then start again. I detox 3 times a month or I would have put back on 30 kilograms.

Stay true

I'm coping ok. I feel randomly sad, and low energy. I am getting something to eat and going to go for a walk after. Maybe it will make me feel better.

Not too well today. I ate 2 Quarter Pounders With Cheese in an hour. I’m still dealing with my PMS. It’s been two days since I took the placebo and I’m not even getting cramps yet. I hope this is over soon.

I’m currently trying to cope by drinking honey vanilla chamomile tea while I have my Himalayan salt lamp on.

I am doing ok,I feel peaceful, I am sad to see my mum ageing into very old age now,she is 89.I saw my cousin who came to visit her today,he is 35,blew my mind,I visited his mum in hospital when he was born,I rocked him to sleep when he was a baby.
I had therapy session on Monday,I told the therapist I didn't know where the years have gone,I feel they flew by and I didn't make the most of them,I regret that I didn't do more with the time I told her,I didn't love more,make more friends,go and enjoy myself,I was just ill all the time.My therapist said it isn't about the past it is about now and the future and making the most of it now.Enjoying every day she said.I thought about it and thought yeah,now is what is important so don't worry about what went before and don't waste time regretting the past.So yeah I think I am coping ok,better today.

I took a nap not that long ago because I was having a forehead tension. Which tells me i'm tense because my class starts this week and it's over two hours.

I got lost in my book and that’s mainly how I’ve been coping today.
