How are you coping today? #3

Deilla · Nov 07, 2020 at 02:56 AM

I've been busy this morning. But things are starting to settle down and I'm feeling lonely. I will try to cope by using my DBT skills.

Gentle hugs @TunedOut hoping today is better for you.

I feel unfocused and unmotivated- I have stuff I need to do but just cant get started, or I start and then stop. Need to get out of this.

I'm experiencing the same problem, @Discombobulated. I hope you & I improve soon, & also others experiencing this.

Hugs!

I haven’t slept good in at least a week and I’ve slept terribly since Tuesday night but right now I feel very tired. I feel like my body is allowing me to be tired now that my mind is at ease.

It's so hard
Looking at the past pretending bad **** did not happen seems the only way

Mountaindewed · Nov 08, 2020 at 01:52 PM

I finally slept decently. But I’ve been in a mood all day about my physical health.

Deilla · Nov 09, 2020 at 01:43 AM

I'm not coping very well today.

Breaking Dawn · Nov 09, 2020 at 06:52 PM

I am coping ok.

Deilla · Nov 10, 2020 at 01:01 AM

I'm doing much better this morning. Yesterday started off rough, but by noon I was feeling upbeat. I've been using a lot of DBT skills. I hope to keep learning and be as mindful as possible.

I am coping pretty well this morning.

Discombobulated · Nov 10, 2020 at 10:19 AM

I feel good today, better than in a while. Still working on that motivation.

TishaBuv · Nov 10, 2020 at 03:26 PM

I read something that talked about negative character traits, so I’ll just stick to the positive ones now.

Mountaindewed · Nov 10, 2020 at 05:38 PM

I’m kinda down this afternoon. I saw a weird doctor this morning and my therapist sometimes acts like a psychopath. It makes it hard to know who to trust. Plus I’m not hungry tonight even though I took all my meds and that kinda worries me a bit when that happens.

Only slept 4 hours last night but it was what I expected.

Yesterday, my of chemo induced pain was nearly gone; however, during this last chemo, I slipped into maximizing all the drugs that help me sleep (and they did). With my surgery on the 24th coupled with the mental confusion one of the drugs is causing, I cut back on one of the drugs (a prescription that I stopped asking for a year or two ago but have 3 or 4 months worth left). In the past, when I have stopped this med (gabapentin), I can't sleep for about 3 days then I am fine. Three days of sleeping badly is harder when chemo hasn't totally wore off so perhaps I just need to let my doc's know I am still taking. It is either that or stop since my surgeon will need to know all the pills I am taking right before surgery. Then their is the drug that makes me confused that is a whole other issue. Medications provide relief for so much until their negative effects raise their ugly sides.....

I'm not coping that well. But I will try to get more sleep. Maybe that will help.

Gasplessy · Nov 11, 2020 at 05:28 AM

Struggling to accept the hell that happened
I find it very hard to cope and as much as I understand the importance of positivity and relax, sometimes it's been to much and you just want to scream it... helplessy
I have been into a disaster for years and realizing just Now... damn

Breaking Dawn · Nov 11, 2020 at 05:57 AM

I am coping pretty well this morning. I hope to fulfill some small goals today.

Have had two days in a row where I felt short periods of that weird, unexplained anxiety. Nothing bad has happened lately, either, I’m just at home doing my own thing and we have a fairly relaxed atmosphere here.
