I took my mind of my bad feelings by going to see the Aretha Franklin documentary.That distracted me from some low moods and negativity,I felt some heavy emotions.I have been negative and self critical lately.I am beating myself up for not sticking to the diet and failing in my weight loss goals.I am desperate to get healthy and I am in despair when I fail to lose weight and I give in and eat unhealthy foods.I am not coping very well with this problem at all!

I feel fine but a bit bored. I am running around doing chores but when I'm not doing anything am bored. Hmm? I must have hypomania. I don't know. It does not hurt me as much as psychosis. I feel fine otherwise.

Surprisingly well. I started taking Buspar and it works wonders!

I am even able to just laugh at all the ridiculous slaps in the face that keep on coming from my son and his Bridezilla. Come on, bring it, mo fo’s!

Coping pretty good today. The physical effects of my conditions have been wearing me down, but I am coping and managing well, and proud of myself for that. Sometimes it feels really unfair that I have to work this hard just for a balance to function, that others don't have to fight so hard for, but whether or not it's fair is irrelevant. It doesn't change that this is how it is and if I want to thrive I just have to deal this way.

I finished some of my chores and am tired. I am a bit bored too. I should be feeling good but am exhausted. Household work is not easy.

Very well. It’s the same ol’ dysfunctional relationship and I don’t care anymore.

I am coping well considering I am mightily depressed,I feel unwanted and unloved and I don't like being so alone anymore,I want some friends and an intimate companionship.That is never going to happen cos I won't commit to letting someone in emotionally,that is my fault and my choice,it is a block I have had all my life,I might as well wear a sign saying keep out of my life,there is an invisible wall around me.That is my fault cos I always want to feel safe and not take any risks,lousy karma I have too.I am angry today too cos the new staff member at my favourite cafe overcharged me and instead of bringing me a toasted crumpet like I ordered she brought me a toasted teacake,she wasn't listening and just did what she assumed I said which mightily pissed me off and I didn't like her either.I don't like being overcharged either I hope she doesn't last in the job she gets on my nerves.

Yay for me! I got over the usual anger, coping in a healthy way and it passed. Thank you meds. No meltdown this time for me!

I'm very symptomatic today. It sucks. I'm coping with it okay though. I called my therapist and have an appt. with her tomorrow. I also did opposite action and got myself to the gym. I took out my trash and felt accomplished. The supermarket was super awkward today, but I survived and I can't control anybody else, just myself. I'm listening to music now.

So sorry to hear that you got robbed but it is absolutely amazing that you recognized how you were feeling and are optimistic about it. That is awesome and keep up the great work!

I thought I was doing great today but then when I went to cancel a service for someone I have been paying for (every single payment from the start of the contract), they said I couldn't, they would keep charging my card unless the person I am paying for cancels. I should have just hung up and figured out another way (I did) but first I b****ed at the person over the phone including giving TMI.

I took more medication. I am not stable unless I sufficiently "drug up". I may seem nice on here and I usually am but not always.

Also, I have been thinking about why I got upset. The situation involves a person that always seems to trigger me yet I take it out on others not them. Boundaries and medications. Most of my life I have always had loose boundaries. Until 48 years old, I took no medications. Now boundaries and meds are necessary; otherwise, I would be unbearable.

I called back, got ahold of her and apologized telling her I would try to bring the person by or have them cancel but that the card won't be able to be charged. (It won't.) We've already made plans to meet to go over tomorrow and cancel. More fun and games with this person tomorrow. Plan to take a boatload of meds.

You’re not the first to go off on the telephone employee, lol. They’re kinda used to that.

Why does it bother me so much when my mom makes up stuff and insists it’s true? I obsess about wondering if she is delusional or she just likes making stuff up. She’s getting worse with this. Could it be dementia?

Today she insisted people who couldn’t attend sent telegrams to my wedding and the band read them to the crowd. Of course that never happened, but she insisted it did.

I’m not coping that bad today. The last 2 hours at work were rough but I still only took one Xanax today. I am off work tomorrow which helps a lot.

I'm so irritated that temp agency recruiters are passing me over to submit younger candidates to jobs I'm fully qualified for. I need to find a job.
