How are you coping today? #2 1/2

Mountaindewed · Aug 11, 2020, 04:42 PM

I’m coping pretty well today.

It’s raining 🌧 again which I know rain is good/important. I just wish it did not cause me to have flare ups. I’ve been battling a fever since early this morning. I finally ate a bowl of cereal to take some Tylenol. I don’t have much of an appetite. Soup sounds good right about now.

I'm not coping well this morning. I am an idiot for thinking my family would support my musical endeavors. All I did was ask them to look at my Spotify page. If they played some of my songs or followed, that would have been great. But 90% of them said nothing. They ignored the link I sent them. How hateful is that? I'm stupid for thinking I had people who cared about me.

Ugh. Took a nasty fall out running and skinned myself quite badly, my face is a mess too.

A bit down about that but otherwise coping just fine, hoping I heal up quick as I don't do sitting around too well.

Dear @Discombobulated, I said a little prayer for your speedy recovery. @Deilla, we can't get blood from a turnip, & they (your relatives) are probably jealous.

@Breaking Dawn - thank you, you are very kind and sweet to pray for me. ♥️

Mountaindewed · Aug 12, 2020, 04:47 PM

I’m kinda struggling a bit for some unknown reason but overall I’m doing fine.

That thought had crossed my mind. They could just be jealous. You're right! I can't get blood from a turnip. I have to move on. Thanks so much for your encouraging words.

Fine today. Son drove back to school and was nervous until he arrived safe. Calm today and getting along with everyone.

Deilla · Aug 13, 2020, 07:43 AM

I'm trying to relax this morning. I'm listening to soothing ocean waves, my slider is open with fresh air and bird song, my fan is blowing on me, my cats are with me and I'm posting on PC, which helps calm me. I think I will try to meditate in a little bit. I'm just waiting on some donuts to arrive. I'm going to eat my way into comfort.

Discombobulated · Aug 13, 2020, 12:50 PM

Bit of a wobbly day. Stayed home all day as tired following my fall yesterday. Trying to look on positive side but not always managing to.

Marylin · Aug 13, 2020, 10:50 PM

Life feels worrisome,Covid rules are stressing me out,not understanding my life's purpose,lack of finances is another source of stress.Always just surviving,existing,never enough money to really enjoy the world,to really live.I wonder if I wrote that book,would I make enough to enjoy,travel,achieve more,most likely not.Fear of failure is what stops me trying........I lack faith in my abilities.Its sad that I stopped loving and believing in myself,if I ever did that is!

jrae · Aug 14, 2020, 03:51 AM

am surviving. day 2 done of my new steroid med pack and doing okay so far. just exhausted from everything and am in need of a sedative!

also down from missing my aunt -> it's been a full year already

Marylin · Aug 14, 2020, 06:21 AM

I am struggling with tiredness today,I got up at 3.30am and dyed my hair at 5am,went back to bed,just got up again at 12.15pm and I can't open my eyes.I also had some weird
dreams about my abuser,and my family,for some reason I needed an emerson heater installed in the woods and two companies for competeing for me to pay them to instal it,then my uni was stahing a protest and my family chip shop was used for the catering and there was a big tray of chips and fish and I almost fell into the food but got myself away and was criticised for abandoning the cause,then I made my way into the woods and my abuser who I had a massive crush on was sitting wating for me and I was considered a no show and a let down for the cause.I couldn't employ the emerson installers that my friend Sue from my schooldays recomended cos I already asked the other company to do the groundwork.What a crazy dream,even though my abuser was waiting for me I wouldn't approach him cos he didn't feel safe but I was pining for him still.

Counting my many blessings but acknowledging some losses I have had recently. I lost both my voluntary jobs due to pandemic and my running club has been shut 5 months now - those were my go to outlets that helped keep me happy and sane. For some reason this is suddenly sinking in now

princesscookie19 · Aug 14, 2020, 01:57 PM

Feeling a bit lonely at the moment -getting my medication in a few mins going to mcdonalls tomorrow so just need to sleep it off

Deilla · Aug 14, 2020, 02:12 PM

I worked all morning. That was good. It kept me distracted. Now I'm trying to relax and I'm not sure of what I want to do. Some things today were difficult and I have no one to talk to. I may just go to bed.

Breaking Dawn · Aug 14, 2020, 04:53 PM

Today I am coping with deliberate thoughts, trying very hard to adhere to the principles I've been taught & believe in.

TishaBuv · Aug 14, 2020, 05:21 PM

I’m adjusting my perception. Maybe I idealized people who I now see more clearly. I accept them as they are, and don’t feel the loss of who I thought they were.

Aug 15, 2020, 08:33 AM

I'll be honest, the cooler weather has done wonders for my pain all ready (and it's only been cooler for 1 day). I just finished reading the weather forcast (google alerts), and the storms are meant to continue in to next week (this is good for my pain and my mood!)

as for today, I am not doing much. in the morning I just caught up on my soap operas, and this afternoon posting here again (litirally nothing else to do)

I have decided that tonight I am going to have a chinese takeaway, (which is not the greatest decision after my mcdonalds yesterday), but what can I say: I need filling, and apart from snacks and junkfood, takeawyas are the only thing that seem to do it for me.

Deilla · Aug 15, 2020, 09:56 AM

I'm having a difficult time this morning. I slept late. I guess that can be good. I feel behind now. But it's Saturday. I'll do my best to relax.

Boston42 · Aug 15, 2020, 10:27 AM

I am having a tough couple of days. I received some unexpected news at the doctor's this past week. I have to wait until Friday to find out more information and my mind is just running wild.

Mountaindewed · Aug 15, 2020, 03:01 PM

After last night, today hasn’t been terrible so far. I’ve been able to do my weekend cleaning and laundry and I watched some TV. Besides the fact that I don’t feel the greatest I at least coped ok. I think I’m going to make an actual schedule though for basic things like meds and food and sleep. I’m all over the place on all those things. I think that would help my overall quality of life immensely.

hobbypoet · Aug 15, 2020, 09:02 PM

I'm a wreck but I can still function.

Deilla · Aug 16, 2020, 02:44 AM

I guess I'm coping well. I have plans to read all day and stay in bed watching Gaia TV. My cats will be with me and I'll drink cappuccinos. I might even order breakfast from McDonald's, which is always a treat.
