I'm coping pretty well. Not exactly 100% super duper, of course.

Today I am coping well. I put aside some negative thoughts and got out my sketchbook for the first time in years. It felt good to draw again.

I’m coping ok? It’s hard to tell today what’s physical and what’s anxiety. I had this really weird emotion this morning but I think it may just have been a really bad stomach ache. I went to lie down for a couple hours and now I’m better. And I didn’t need Xanax. So it could have been an anxiety stomach ache. I don’t usually get them like that though where just lying down takes care of it. Which makes me suspect it was physical. All in all I’m coping alright today I suppose. My family thinks I’m doing awesome. Ha little do they know.

I sent a text to my son, trying to make conversation. I feel like a crazy ex gf from how he has rejected me and the family. I pray he comes around and back to himself, loving, adorable D.

I think I am coping well. I'm relaxing and keeping busy. And I'm looking at inspirational material online, which is helping me a lot.

I’m coping kinda crappy and with a good amount of retail therapy but overall I’m doing ok. It could always be worse I suppose.

I coped today but staff at my local pub continue to treat me badly.A woman member of staff who is always offish with me could see I stryggled to walk and stand with a stick but directed me to join the end of a queue of 12 peoople to wait to have my order taken at the bar,she wouldn't accept letting me get served first cos of my disability.I made a fuss and said I wasn't going to eat there and walked out.When I see the manager I will be having words with her.It upset me a lot and made me feel worthless,to be honest today was one of the August half price days and it was full of customers eating out,I am a regular customer,have been for years eating there for full price and they didn't care about me despite that,they were so busy they were glad to get rid of me,they are so uncaring.That hurts a lot.Not only am I hurt I am angry,it is souless and thoughtless.Its no use complaiing to head office either they never reply I already have sent a complaint about something else but they don't bother to reply.

It's good that you can get this off your chest, so to speak, @Marylin. And you are so right! You have been a supporter of their business, paying full price, all these years. And this is the way they show their appreciation! If only there was another place you could go & get treated better. Hugs & love to you!!
Thanks for this!

Coped well today - I nearly always do on work days. My injuries are healing up gradually and feeling so much better.

I wish I didn't let trivial things get to me so much

today, on another site, I made a comment about sleep and the fact it is ghard for me

first response I get: " well, you don't belong here."

I'm not going to argue with this user, just go on with what I'm doing.

but yeah.. I feel a bit ugg

I got a bit stressed a few times today when I felt my workload was growing and got asked to cover another colleague on her break as well as my own tasks. In the end I reached a compromise and did both tasks simultaneously, it was awkward but it got done. I did cope and got everything I needed to done. Glad it's over though, I do not thrive under stress.

I just about coped today,I didn't sleep well last night and was so tired today,I forced myself to get chores done,but I felt so out of sorts even when going to my favourite cafe for lunch.I just can't enjoy myself,I feel massive and ugly and my life feels like a waste of time,I can't like myself,Ive gone from loving myself to self hatred.It's all to do with being made to feel worthless as a disabled person by staff at my local pub.And I was attacked by a member of staff for refusing to fill in trace and trace and told if I refused in future I'd be denied entry but I noticed they didn't say that to anyone else in there,plus I was asked to join a long queue of 12 people to be served even though I walk with a stick and can't stand any length of time.I get very down and low in self esteem if I'm treated badly.Another thing upsetting me I am anti vaccinations but there is a law been passed in the UK makes vaccines mandatory and they can make you have it and take your property and posessions if they are deemed contaminated.So scary.

I’m not coping that bad I guess. Well I was a bit heavy on the melatonin tonight. And I had a good amount of caffeine today too. But my anxiety and moods were very low so I only took the one Xanax and visteral. Which was good.

I'm not coping well. I have an appointment to take my other cat to the vet. It's time for his 3-month medication. I'm very anxious about this. He's difficult to catch and put in the carrier. And then the bug lady is coming out later on in the day. I spent all day yesterday cleaning. I still have cleaning to do. I want this day over with. I guess it's time to try to meditate.

I’m coping ok today. I’m frigging tired but I didn’t overdo it with the caffeine and I’ve still just taken my maintenance Xanax and visteral. I ate healthy for the most part and I didn’t restrict.

Doing well today and out and about a lot in the sunshine which helped hugely.

I am so grateful my local library is open again and I am getting plenty of books. I hope I will never again take this for granted.

I'm not coping well. I'm very upset about how my family treats me. I apologized to my sister A for something I said. She still won't talk to me. I put up with her abuse for the last 6 months. I really need to move on. I deserve better than that.

I had a good day, I saw an elderly friend who is housebound and we had a good chat and I got a few jobs done that she needed. Life is better with friends.
