Struggling just a little bit. Working on finishing this week's readings for my patient advocacy course, and it's just a little triggering. Some of the readings discuss psych patients in terms of being difficult patients, and I find it upsetting to the point of actually triggering my PTSD. I mean, that's why I'm doing this program, to advocate for psych patients, so it's to be expected that there are many misconceptions, and I can't go into too much more detail without turning this into a very long post, but just struggling a bit to manage my own triggers while doing my coursework - and doing this coursework is supposed to help me identify my triggers in regards to advocating before I start doing it, so it's to be expected. It's still unpleasant though.

I'm coping well. I felt lonely for a little bit. I wrote about it in my online therapy room and focused on how it feels. The feeling is gone now. I've been laughing and relaxing. So I'm doing much better now.

Today I am doing quite fine. Very much appreciating various things. I suspect my mood is being helped by certain points of view I've read, including here at PC.

I woke up feeling really hopeful, but already things are happening to indicate that the hope was a bit too soon. So I've taken my meds, and decided to buckle in for the ride. Coping/Surviving well.

Feeling a little better today. Turned my 1 mile walk into 2 plus miles like I had been doing and feel much better after feeling some stress and triggers from schoolwork.
It really takes a great deal of time management to run two businesses, go to school, and have a personal life. Somedays I think I must very well be insane. Lol. Going to run an experiment with one of my good friends today. We have to go drop money on the sidewalk and walk away and watch to see what happens and observe how we feel about it. Even just approaching the assignment and talking about it had opened our eyes to a lot of our values. I cant believe we are both about to go do this though. I'm really interested to see how I end up feeling about it.

I’m having a hard time but it could always be worse. My therapist would probably tell me I’m not doing as bad as I think.

Okay so we went to the park and did the money experiment and I honestly am in such a good mood. I will write about the experiment elsewhere but having a really relaxed and enjoyable Sunday. I actually went to the park and that's the first place I've been since March 11!

Okay... I slept badly last night so tired from that and a little fragile emotionally. Had a distanced family gathering to celebrate a family occasion and it was lovely but a little weird we had to distance. I drank some champagne which left me feeling extra emotional. Oh well.

I'm a little sad today. I went to bed late and slept late. I didn't want to get out of bed but I did cause I have guitar lessons this morning.

Did okay today. I do better on work days I notice. I have some changes to my work pattern coming up and that makes me anxious. I thrive on routine. Boring but true!

Well being outdoors too long yesterday resulted in sun poisoning today. Been dealing with a migraine all day and totally nonfunctional.

Not good at all today. I have this thing going on that’s painful and stressful. And I have all my usual problems. I think it could be PMS but with the increase in Geodon it’s not that bad so I can’t actually tell that it’s PMS. It’s just me being crabby.

Sun poisoning is a little better today. Migraine has faded. Still feel exhausted though.

I feel overwhelmed by housework. But I'm trying one step at a time.

I had a bad evening yesterday.
ended up firing off an angry email to someone, about how they've been treating me and my rights (it made me fuming all evening) of course I had no sleep (I can't remember the last time now, beyond memory range) and this morning not much o. guess I should be greatful though- no to low pain levels and I did watch my favorite tv show this morning after breakfast wish I was more useful though. defenetly feel that my life's been for nothing |
