How are you coping today?

May 17, 2018 at 12:23 PM

I am actually coping well.

I just had a theft of some items incredibly important to me. I identified myself symbolically with these things so to lose them is a pretty big deal. There was a time I would have felt like I had lost my right arm. But I am okay. My CBT work sheets havve helped. This isn't the end of my world. In fact, insurance may allow me to replace it all.

I'm coping Ok. Could be feeling better. But I'm taking active steps to move forward. Sorry about your theft and items. Your attitude is great.

I am so happy for you that you are able to cope with this traumatic event. It was a very difficult challenge the life threw at you. They fact that you are doing well with it made me smile. Thank you!

Myself, I am struggling, but we all have to keep trying and never ever give up.

I’m kind of sad but okay though.

By staying positive and telling myself to stay calm and not to panic.

The main way I cope in life is just staying positive. It works very well.

Hi there. I too try to stay positive. I've started using a mood tracker for all my daily events and moods and I journal a lot. I have many issues, number one being Bipolar but I am also very isolated with nobody to talk to about my mental health problems. I used to go to a Psychiatrist but her and I had a falling out you might say and haven't been back in over 2 years now. What I miss is the group therapy we used to have at the clinic I would attend. Now I am home all day every day by myself with my self help books and coping skills that sometimes work and most of the time don't. So as of this past week, I haven't been coping well at all. And to make matters worse, my husband whom I don't live with but see every day is in a catatonic state and depression which is making mine worse or maybe I should day helpless. Any encouragement or words of wisdom would be most appreciated. Thank You.

yesterday I had a really bad night.

police came to the area where I live (not for me, thank goodness, for someone else)

but their was a lot of kicking and screaming, a lot of raised voices and a lot of violence

trying to put it out of my mind, but I'm quite shaken up

especially as I have a sort of phobia of police officers
