Not doing the greatest today. Just realizing what an emotional toll covid-19 has taken on me. I don't know how to manage my mental health right now.

My chores this morning caused a lot of pain. I just rested as best I could. I'm getting ready to go back to bed for a while. When the sun comes up, I'll walk to the gazebo.

I was crabby from lack of sleep but I took control of the situation and went for coffee instead of taking my bad mood out on other people. So at least I’m not moody anymore.

Things can weigh one down. I've been giving myself pep talks to encourage & help soothe me.

I am coping well. I've been very stressed today, and sensitive about stuff. I checked my calendar to see if I'm getting my period soon. I'm not. So I guess it's just "one of those days." I've just been having a few really dark thoughts about myself. I'm glad I can recognize them, even though they do affect me. I did vent to some people, and I see my therapist tomorrow. I know that I need to "do what I have to do" while managing my emotions. I am using the STOP skill, for the rest of the night. I am eating a good dinner, reading a book on self esteem (which I'm looking forward to), and maybe will watch netflix later.


I did have a good morning.I went to meditation group for the first time in a LONG time. And it was WONDERFUL. I also visited my parents. Both of those things lifted my spirits.

It's rough going here and there, sure, but the desire to terminate my tenure on this planet no longer arises. Coping well.😉👍👍

I'm doing well today. I gave myself plenty of time to wake up this morning. It was rough going for a while. But I feel so much better now.

I guess I'm coping pretty good. It was a struggle this morning, but I somehow found the strength to accomplish 2 things that I wished I could do. So, of course, I'm very glad about that. By the way, thank you, for so many things!

I'm coping well this morning. I practiced some deep breathing, mindfulness, distraction and took a hot shower. I'm feeling refreshed.

Coping well lately. Just glad to have escaped - fought my way out from - a terrible black hole that had consumed me but failed to destroy me.

I was meant to have a phone call today (she wanted me to update on her on something), but I have nothing to say to her yest since the letter's not come back to me, so rather than speak to her and tell her that I'm going to keep my phone off. hah

I have been finding a lot of things so very interesting & this has kept my mood up a bit. So this must be a good coping mechanism.

Not that bad I suppose. I controlled my worrying for the most. I didn’t give work much of a thought. Therapy I dwelled on just a little bit this morning. I had some health anxiety. I dealt with it all though.

Apart from an attack of intrusive thoughts and negative feelings whilst out doing some things, I coped pretty well, I thought. People might have seen me muttering but I don't care anymore. It's not every day.

I slept late today. I have plans to walk and sit at the gazebo this morning, so I feel like I'm coping well.

The past two days have seen me feeling fatigued. I think triggered by a dream which brought up a lot of old feelings of hurt and shame, dating back to childhood and adolescence. But I got a few things done today and felt quite calm within myself. Managed and coped well. The tide had receded.

I'm coping well. I worked on my music this morning. I feel good today. Soon I will walk to the gazebo and sit a while.
