I felt ok this morning but this afternoon I feel worn out and tired. I got out of breath while putting laundry away and I had to lean against the dresser and rest and take a couple deep breaths. At least I’m staying out of my bed so I feel like I’m coping better emotionally. I had to tell my therapist something in email first because it would have been too weird to tell her in the video session tomorrow. I was nervous about it but She took it just fine. But again I just feel worn out today.

I'm having a difficult day. I don't feel well. I had plans to get tested for Covid tonight but couldn't do it. So I will try in the morning. I can't get any help for how I'm feeling until I know if all this is covid related.

Today I am coping by reminding myself how fortunate I am. I love God & I want to find a way to strengthen myself so I can be better than I am for others & for myself.

Coping okay, I guess. It has been much worse in the past for me so I'm grateful to be through that, and just bumbling my way through life as an isolationist. I'm coping okay.

I have a drive through test planned for tomorrow morning. It's right across the street. I know I can make it. Today I've ordered chicken noodle soup and ice cream. That's about all I can handle. Food tastes pretty bad at the moment. I hope I will be able to taste my ice cream. If not, I'm sure it will help my throat.

I'm coping well. I moved today and it was awkward but I just did it. It went well. There was a period where I was angry, and I was just pissed about something. I put cold packs on my face and also went for a drive and got food. It helped. I am looking forward to this new chapter. Its not going to be all sunshine and roses. But its exciting still.

Today was a good day,I went and paid bills,managed to put a bit into my savings account.Ate breakfast and lunch at my favourite cafe.Then came home and cleaned the green compost wheelie bin.Watched my favourite quiz shows then went to ice creme palour treated myself to a slice of cheesecake and a scoop of icecreme and a tea,saw the film Babyteeth,I found it helped me identify that I had not grieved people in my life who let me down and for myself for being abused and messed up by those people.It was a cathartic revelation.

I'm doing a little better this morning. I was able to clean a couple of litter boxes. It made me dizzy though, so I will hold off on doing more work for a while. I'm coping by listening to rain sounds and doing healing meditations when I go to bed.

Well, my sleeping hours have evolved into the exact opposite of what a 'normal' sleep schedule is meant to be. Asleep during most of the day, then awake all through the night until sun-up - when I head back to bed. I've nothing to prove to anyone anymore so that's okay. Coping well.

My mom dropped a major life changing bombshell on me today and I didn’t have a meltdown. I think I coped pretty well today.

I'm having a difficult time this morning. I'm trying to relax but part of me is still sick. I had my covid test yesterday. I'll get the results in 3 days. In the mean time, I am resting as much as possible. I don't have much energy for chores. I have some things that are bothering me. I will try to meditate and distract myself today.

I am coping pretty well. And one of my wishes became true. So this gave me encouragement. I was worried about a friend who is going to be ok. I'm so glad.

Hello all, good to catch up on your news and sending positive vibes to you all.

I have worked overtime a lot this week and while not much free time I have felt okay and again notice I do better when I am working. I feel very lucky to have reasonably secure work and with good colleagues and manager. My job isn't high status but it ticks so many boxes for me.

Physically I haven't been great this week with a lot of migraines but I rode them out and getting extra prescription meds tomorrow.

We have some family stuff going on but I am taking that in my stride and talking it through with my husband.

I kind of feel like I’m going to have a heart attack. But I just ate 10 pizza chicken nuggets so maybe it’s just heartburn?

I'm a little tired. But I really need more sleep. Overall, I'm doing well. I got the results of my Covid test. It's negative. I'm really glad.
