How are you coping today? #2 1/2

Today I am feeling very very relaxed. The ambient music is helping a lot.

not...had an emotional breakdown after working hard all day

I've been journaling. It's been helpful.

Not very well

I feel like I am in limbo. Other than my working days and cooking and cleaning I am not really doing much at all.

Spoke to 3 good friends on Zoom last night and it was awesome to see their faces and hear their voices but now I feel sad. It made me aware of my missing normal life. Just hanging out in a cafe.

Some of our conversation was a little scary for me too about that thing that is hanging over us all and what might happen next.

I am feeling depressed.

no real reason, just having a bbleh and emotional day

I wish that I had that much energy.

I feel really down today.

I understand how you feel.

I’m wondering if I should just give up and accept that there’s a decent chance that I’m going to get sick. My mom says I’m over reacting and that I shouldn’t just resign myself to these thoughts.

Mountaindewed, try to remember the more optimistic things...for example, most people who get sick they get better and dont need to be hospitalized. Keep that optimistic thought in your head.

I am coping okay. Been a little triggered because my bio dad who is NPD texted me this morning to see how I am. He hasn't contacted me in almost a year. I didnt respond. At least not yet. Not sure I can deal with him or that I care to deal with his BS.

I've been journaling, so that is helping. I've also been doing things around the house.

It’s not me I’m worried about. It’s my 68 year old mom with high blood pressure and diabetes.

I am sure my sore throat is allergies though. I was fine this morning. Now I am upstairs by open windows and it’s starting to bug me.

Been doing chores. I also opened all the windows in the house. Makes me feel like I'm outdoors and enjoying spring weather.

I have to be careful this time of year. I can open the windows for a bit, but alergic to stings so need to make sure they don't fly in (those pesky insects)

I wish people could tell the time properly.

that is all. irritates me so much when they seem to struggle with basic timings

you have a watch on your wrist, use it

I woke up with some post nasal drip, feeling very sore, and a bit of headache. But I am feeling better now. I think I've just been working too much (putting in min 12 hour days) and need to take some time off, rest, stretch my body, and get my diet back on track. Just going to try and take it slower and easier today.

Sick of worrying about some virus, angry about limited supplies, although that’s improving some, and feeling ticked and want to avoid stores and people even more than before the virus. Today was a tough day, first day of teleworking with tech issues. Want a normal life, and my life was not normal before the virus, and recovering from grief from the past few years.

Getting extra sleep, playing games and reading. It's helping. Oh yea, and journaling.

Definitely better than yesterday. I woke up yesterday just exhausted and thinking I was getting sick. But I took an allergy pill and this morning I feel fine, although still tired. Going to stay away from my work desk this weekend, get some fresh air and exercise instead.

It has been a very stressful week.

My structure and routine is all to pot but I am slowly getting there.

I think this is my key to coping better. I am trying not to lean on others but this situation has triggered my neediness.

not well.

stressed and annoyed

people driving me crazy

How am I coping...

By keeping as much to myself as poss.

just surviving today.

honestly not doing anything with myself, so hard to feel any type of emotion

A bit anxious. But I’m coping pretty good.
