Today, I got up so late, there was no way I could do all of the things on my list. So I gave up and just scribbled it off and just did what I could, smaller things. There's nothing else I can do.

I'm sorry that you had some theft.

for the most part, I have been productive today (I only didn't do 3 things I set out to do)

I'm feeling a bit better re: that girl moving away, I'm glad she's keeping in contact with me via email

the bad side is that the voices are quite bad today and for at least the last 40/50 minits I've been threating about my body and how ugly it is

Not really sure yet... Hoping for the best, dreading and expecting the worst.

Im coping decently considering what I saw today.

I saw a really bad car accident. Two cars were completely totaled. There was a truck which I’m not sure was involved in the accident, but one guy was out on the road frantically directing traffic to avoid another accident. A guy was standing off the road with a shocked look on his face. A lady was lying in the road not moving. There was debris all over the road. When we came back from where we were going traffic on that side was blocked for miles and the smashed cars were still there and there were a bunch of police cars and more coming.

ditto the soda

I went out on friday to buy enough that should, in theory, last me a week.

we're 2 days down the line and out of the 6 bottles I got, I've drank 4

yesterday I struggled a lot with abandonment issues (it was due to that girl leaving recently). they were really bad and I ended up sitting their talking to myself about my funeral (which may or may not happen, I'm seriously thinking about not having one). I really don't think anyone would even turn up.

no sleep yesterday again- not even any traces of rest or tiredness

today I'd be quite happy to do "**** all". sit on a chair, look at the wall and think about my existance and what a mess it is

probably not going to get me anywhere though.. need to at least try to be productive.

I haven't been coping well for months - all since I started work again. It is not going well. I am in constant anxiety mode and panic before each shift (throwing up, shaking, difficulty breathing, etc). I can't stand this. I know I am sick.

I just woke up and feel a little more hopeful than I have in the past few months. I didn't sleep well but it's a quiet Sunday morning. I find that peaceful in and of itself. I have things to accomplish before the end of the day. I am moving and have determined how much needs to get done each day in order for the remainder of the house to get packed. Packing and the general stress of the house being in disarray has increased my anxiety and interfered with my daily routine. The routine has ground to a halt and I find myself accomplishing very little, which, of course does not help at all. I have recently found a home for my dog. She could not go with me to my new home. While I miss her, I am happy that I have placed her in a good home with people who will love her as much as I do.

I guess I’m coping ok. My anxiety is really bad. But I’ve been watching a lot of junky cable reality TV shows like Rupauls Drag Race, and Dance Moms, all day to distract myself. I didn’t eat that much today. Only about 1,150 calories. My stomach felt like it was on fire though and my stress and anxiety causes me not to want to eat. I think I’m doing good overall though.

I am coping today by just doing things that I’m supposed to do and getting them done. Exposure therapy.

All of the positive energy I felt yesterday is gone. I'm feeling depressed and stressed this morning. It's like a roller coaster of emotions. Sigh : /

By figuring out another solution to the issue. It was a 30 minute wait for the flu shot at one pharmacy so we went to a different one. Sonics ice cream machine wasn’t working, so I went to Wendy’s instead. The DVR once again got messed up, so I just switched to another season again. I had to keep doing this all day, but it was fine.

Fine right now, but I have a feeling it might get a bit stressful later when I have to do things. Can't do any of them yet, I think I've done all I can for now.

Last session with my therapist today since I am moving. Should I even bother telling her how I am feeling? Overall feeling much better than I did when I first woke up. Packing this morning and overthinking things as usual. Getting a stress headache from it all. But I've still got energy to continue packing after my break.
