Coping well today. Just feeling more at peace with where I'm at with my life, at present.

Trying to cope by giving myself more discipline

I’m struggling today but I’m coping ok with it.

Breaking Dawn · May 19, 2020 at 01:44 PM

I'm kind of waiting at the moment.

I'm doing well after I slept for awhile on my break. Life is not bad!

May 20, 2020 at 07:12 AM

anxiety's been bad over the last 24 hours

yesterday I had a panic attack over a phone call I need to make on friday (I had phone conversations, hate them), and today- as well as being anxious about that, I am anxious about a few friends who are going for coronavirus tests- which I hope go well

anxiety all round..

Breaking Dawn · May 20, 2020 at 08:05 AM

I am doing better.

TishaBuv · May 20, 2020 at 11:43 AM

Feeling all the same conflicting emotions but no longer showing them as much. I wish I could just feel one way and go with it and stop this rollercoaster.

I'm doing well. I eat healthy and exercise. I sleep well too. I work and am doing fine. I am trying to improve my appearance. I am going to the eye doctor to get rid of my glasses. I did not think my appearance would affect my self-esteem but it does. Also, people here seem to be very superficial. It seems as if appearances are everything for some people. I want to hold onto my job also and am worried about my appearance. I wish it were not so. But, I believe I was hired because I look young. I need to maintain my looks although truthfully I am chubby as a tubby and not in the best of shape. I will try to keep working on this too. Overall, I am healthy but could improve myself even more by losing more weight. It is easier said than done though. But, for now, I am happy!

I'm coping by playing my game and posting on Twitter. I feel Okay. I'll cope some more when I go to take my nap.

mote.of.soul · May 21, 2020 at 06:01 AM

Seem to be coping well lately. Definitely through the worst times, my gosh.

Discombobulated · May 21, 2020 at 10:49 AM

Struggling but better for seeing my parents.

I was really struggling this afternoon with anxiety. I wanted to go out and buy a new e-Cigarette. But I told myself to chew some gum instead. Wear the patch if you have to. You still have 2 weeks left to be on the patch. Don't push things. You're miserable.

I feel emotionally numb. I been watching self help video and keeping myself busy.

I'm not even sure what I'm feeling anymore. I'm working hard to find a job in a global pandemic and also find a place to stay withing 1 or 2 months because I had to take my parents to live in another state where my brother and his family live, which was the saddest thing ever, and have no idea how all that's going to happen because I've been a caretaker to my elderly parents for the past 18 years so I have no job history at all. I should be stressed but it's strange I'm not. Maybe my new meds working good? Good part is I have a new therapist, appointment in 12 days and a new psychiatrist.

The psych ward found I have Hypothyroidism. Must of just happened. Had full blood work done not too long ago for first psychiatrist. I have a theory. Since it's most likely caused by autoimmune disease, which means my body is killing itself lol, I probably created this because for long time now I've been doing a lot of suicidal ideation and planning. So it's kinda of self created. Wow!....

mote.of.soul · May 21, 2020 at 10:17 PM

Coping through the rough patches but emerging in one piece. Going well by my standards.

Deilla · May 22, 2020 at 12:13 AM

I'm not coping well at the moment. I will try to distract myself with a game. Maybe make a gratitude list or browse some positive quotes on Pinterest.

Well, wasn't your tagline something like "always exhausted"? You could have been going towards hypothyroidism for awhile. It's a gradual thing. That was my main symptom - for about a year I was always exhausted. Sometimes doctors consider a low thyroid function on a test as low-normal. Doctors read those results in different ways. A lot of people have autoimmune disorders. If they started you on synthroid...in 2 to 6 months you are going to be amazed at how much better you will feel. Who is the "I" creating this? My goodness, it's physical...partly hereditary, and also my theory is some people are more sensitive to environmental pollution, and that might cause autoimmune disorders. After the nuclear accident at Chernobyl a lot of people developed thyroid cancer.
