I'm struggling today but am trying to work out of it and I think it's working. I realized with Borderline Personality Disorder, I'm typically at a higher level of emotion than most.

I'm easily triggered and have this latent rage that I never understood fully until recently. Sometimes it's either that or detachment for me which, can be painful.

Today I'm focusing on work, my breathing and posture, and positive affirmations for myself, also being kind to myself no matter if I'm detached, or feeling what I feel.

I managed ok today,got weighed at weight loss session,lost two pounds.
Went to pub was going to see a film but it wasn't going to start until 7.30pm,it was 5.30pm and I was too tired
to wait two hours doing nothing,so I skipped the film and came home.
Struggled a bit today,felt low in mood but coped ok I guess.

Don't feel physically good today, so tired, achy, volunteered then came home and slept.

Mentally I am doing well these days.

Today has been an emotional day. I just let myself feel the feelings and then keep on going. I will try a meditation later to help me relax. I'm stressed out with lots of busy stuff.

I feel like my increase in topamax has helped my overall sense of well being. I am very sleep deprived but I was still able to function and cope just fine today. The anxiety is for sure still there though.

I'm having a hard time coping this morning. I have a lot of things going on today. I've tried playing games but I'm too stressed to relax.

Coped well- got lots of sleep last night and did better.

Have eaten well, done some housework, chores, study and a walk - oh and I even got to read a proper book and less time reading trash on the internet. Yes a good day for me!

I'm not coping well. I just got triggered by a late night text. I was in a good mood until I got bombarded with a ton of questions. Just reminded me of how hopeless my situation seems. Maybe I will meditate, sleep then play my game. A reset might help me feel better.

I have a couple of simple tasks to take care of, hopefully, when they are done, I can allow myself to relax.

I feel ok I think I am coping though it varies regarding mental health,some days are more difficult than others,some days I am so low in mood I cannot function,other days I manage but struggle,some days are ok but it is never consistent.

Ice cream for dinner and 2 cans of soda. Not good. But overall my moods and anxiety were fine today. So I guess I’m coping ok?

Back to work after a holiday today, I felt anxious about going back even though I don't have a stressful job. It was pretty low level anxiety though, just kept me awake longer than I would have been.

I am okay over all though.

despite my fears about Coronavirus, I went out and did what I needed to do today.

it was extremely busy though so had to wear my ear defenders (t's a weird concept, walking down the street with ear defenders on, but their we go) if it works.

lots of pushing and shoving

and annoying kids

and I had fibro pain too

I was honestly glad to get home and relax.

I'm coping today by staying busy. I'm just taking care of everything I can think of. It's a distraction.

Am doing ok ,I have been sleepy all day.I feel stifled,got this creative writing idea bubbling away and want to get it down on paper,
but can't commit to putting it down on paper,I am frightened of failure the idea will fizzle out and turn out to be a dud is my fear,so better not to try.
It is so frustrating to hold it all in for fear of failure.Not good it is my power which scares me more,what if I'm a success,can I handle that.
I got through today,coped,but fed up of just coping and just getting through.

I feel really horrible today. I woke up feeling depressed and having anxiety attack from all the emotional abuse I gone through.

I'm coping fairly well today. I'm using music to distract me and help me feel better.

Got coffee, fed the cat, got some music,
disappointed myself again (begged off sick for something I planned) but today, I am going to forgive that...I've got a sweater to knit and some thinking to do as I am not using a pattern...
guess there are some things I just can't do right now...maybe ever...
