I feel horrible. I went to the store and was yelled at after I walk in with some family members because we could only have three people per family. I went home with a really bad migraine. When I left the store? I was in tears. There was no signs telling customer of this information. I was single out of a group of people who had just walk in when i came into the store. The signs were posted in the back of the store. I felt really hurt. I felt humiliated.

I've been very anxious. I had a panic attack last night. This morning I ate a whole bag of trail mix to cope. I couldn't stop myself.

I'm a little stressed. Just trying to enjoy my coffee and taking plenty of breaks to vape.

Called a Crisis hotline and had a really good conversation with the crisis counselor. Came up with some new coping strategies. It made the world of difference talking to someone and coming up with a strategy.

Not well. I am so angry I don't know what to do with myself (or, I know what to do with myself but can't get 'there' from 'here'). It's been a while since this has happened.
If I try to "explain" it will become a meaningless rant. So, isolating and hoping to be able to get myself doing something by the end of the day.

No doing well. Actually managed to cry. Dunno what for though. I can’t get any peace from the visions or flashbacks, the paranoia driving me mad. The anger building up. Trying not to be mad at my bf. Hard when it’s his fault. Trying to get over SAIT & betrayal trauma.
Coffee outside in sun turned to neighbours taking that time to mow their lawn. In living room with ear defenders and headphones with music on. Trying to shut out the noise in my head and outside. I don’t know what to do

Sounds like you are in a really painful place. I kind of relate to all your little guys here on parade! I hope you can switch gears today. IDK it seems...appropriate. I always call the crisis hotline as a kind of intervention and to get coping tips. We have a good service in my state and I am what they call a frequent flyer.

This really sucks! Whoever yelled at you was out of line. You should call the store and report it to the manager. I'm sorry this happened to you. I worked for a short period of time in a supermarket and it was drilled into us that the customer is always right. This would have been completely unacceptable behavior on the part of my store's staff. You could also tell them about the signs and maybe the signs should be right at the door. Everyone is on edge. We need to work together.

I am happy to say that I am doing better than I thought I was. Having everybody in the house can be difficult but I turn it into a challenge. How to make the best in bad situations.

Not so well dispite being one of the few working. I can handle limited isolation being a loner but when everything around me is shut down I feel like I am in a dark scifi novel on the level of 1984 atlas shrugged and brave new world.

yesterday I had a lot of flashbacks and helusinations, so figured that today was probably going to be irritating

but it's not. I feel low and depressed, but I have got through the day.

Much better than I have been coping. I had a T appt that was very insightful and inspirational, and I ran a laundry list of errands and it was a huge relief to get out into the sunshine for a few hours, and I got a LOT done.

I'm chewing Nicorette Gum to cope with quitting eCigs. It's helping my nerves a lot. It's almost better than an eCig.

Doing ok, all things considered currently, and sad in general for everyone with what is going on, want to keep persevering and make an effort to call friends and family more especially on weekends since telecommute during the week.

Continuing to chew my Nicorette gum. I'm coping as best I can. When it gets really bad, I take a nap or try to meditate.

Idk. My stomach hurts from who knows what and my wrist is sprained and hurts and I’m thinking of going downstairs and taking a Xanax to see if that will help. So maybe I’m not coping the best.

Rather disappointed I didn't get all my hw done before Easter, but happy to be in school and happy I got to do my homework in the backyard...I got a sunburn and everything! I also took a very relaxing bath which is my new favorite thing to do.

I feel bad today. I wished my family happy easter but half of them ignored me. I feel lonely and sad.

I painted my nails today and had a very nice Easter with my mom and dad. We watched the new Birds of Prey and now we're watching Red Sonya.

I feel great although tired. I am doing well and believe the daily regimen of exercise, taking my medication, and eating healthy are helping me. I sleep well too. Life is beautiful despite the current situation.
