How are you coping today?

I think it’s a trait of narcissism and it won’t ever change. I’m sorry for you and your son. If his father would show some compassion it would build a bridge between them but he won’t admit any wrongdoing.

Coping okay. Eating candy and being on the internet, lol.

Went to church and meditation today. It's the first day in my plan to go 5 times in a row.

I was meant to go out today (to do something for my inner child), butt circumstances mean I can't.
so at home just pretending to survive... eating stupid amounts of junkfood, watching programmes I don't wanna really watch, that kind of thing

I also got a new book called the sisterhood. honestly I should start that at some point today, but I can't be bothered.

be glad when today's over

not coping with it

I am coping with tendonitis by getting up early(after going to bed early)and trying to get an appointment at the doctor's for today.There are no pre bookable appointment so have to try bag one when the mornings available slots are released at 8am this morning.Two hours to go,have been doing chores to keep me busy.I think I will have a good day.Yoga has been changed from this morning to wednesday evening so that i can go to the doctor and I am going to my favourite cafe for a meal and a coffee.I may watch a film later too.

Not coping well with the liars. I will never accept them in my life.

I am feeling quite abandoned and quite low

with that said, I did make an effert last night to start my new book the sisterhood (no sleep, so gave me something to do)

actually it's an okay book

a trigger in it though- just one, but I'm okay. I just need to remember she's just in the book, not real

I'm not doing badly, but I am coping poorly. I skipped my language class today and just said I wasn't going to be there. I'm feeling a little better, because my teacher wrote that it was ok, and "See you next week." So I'm glad I'm not like waiting around for a response and fretting about that.

I am coping badly I am in pain,tennis elbow,and feeling miserable!

I am camping out in 25 degree weather. Keeping nice and warm in my sleeping bag at night. Moving to lower elevations tomorrow.

Yikes, that's cold! I never really got the point of camping, but I'm glad you're staying warm.

Not too good. Called into work. Basically fired my therapist. I don’t think my meds are working. definitely Not the Xanax though. There’s nothing I can do though.

The holiday retail season is starting and work really needs me. I have to focus on doing a good job.

I met with my T today. I talked about things I've never talked about with anyone. It was strange to open up, but it went well.

Have been really busy today but trying to keep on top of everything and everything has gone (reasonably) smoothly, so I feel fine.

I am still in pain with tennis elbow, but I am coping better today, mainly cos I have been taking painkillers. I took myself off to the theatre to see Cilla the musical, I enjoyed it.Made the filling for my vegan pastries it is pumpkin,bulgar wheat and raisins,I will bake them tomorrow.

Don’t feel too good. I’m not too sure why. Throughout the day I just got more and more irritable until I felt really upset

tough week, very depressed and lots of blackouts (so depressed I didn't come here)

wednesday was halloween, not a bad night I suppose, though a lot of my plans (all of them?), fell through one way or another

still reading the sisterhood, reading it slowly... not so much enjoying it, but when it's finished I will go on to something better I am sure

Felt paranoid and anxious all morning. Pushed myself to complete daily exercise regime, then took a shower. Feel so much better.

not a bad day.

only thing that really ruined it for me was the fireworks outside my window.

so triggering...

I started using my stress relief soap again. Work went really well. I also drank an entire pot of stress relief tea. I didn’t know it was that easy to get rid of anxiety and stress.

I thought I posted about yesterday, clearly not

yesterday was a really bad day for me, a lot of chronic pain, 3 blackouts, and no motivation

hope today is better- not sure I could cope with a repeat of yesterday.

so far so good..

I had a good day,lunch at my favourite cafe and saw the film,Slaughterhouse Rulez,weird but entertaining and worth watching,it's got Simon Pegg in it,I like him.
I feel sleepy and lethargic tonight but I coped well today,only think was I cancelled my therapy so I could go watch the film,so that's not so good,but it will do.

Very pained. Feel a little better and then either I do something that hurts or someone else does and the pain increases.

By keeping focused.

I'm really sorry that you lost things that were significant to you. I have some "treasures" that I can't imagine losing. I have a whole shelf of stuff that I display in my room, including a terribly worn out winie-the-pooh doll that I got from my Dad on my first Christmas in 1970. Is that kind of familiar to you??

How am I coping?? Oh God, I am coping, but i have no ides how. It has to be God or something, otherwise I would have lost my mind. I've been off my meds since July 10, when I had my heart surgery. I've had several setbacks since then and I'm scare d and emotionally worn out. I've been cycling like a maniac, so I have all this energy and I rarely sleep. but I cry constantly too. I'm waiting to hear back from my pdoc because they actually have to have a meeting to determine what medsI can take given my medical conditions and all the meds I'm on for my heart, my diabetes and my GI issues. U think they might be waiting for the Pope to be available. LOL. - Mary / PaintedTurtle
