How are you coping today? #3

I feel horrible because my niece has a bad attitude today.

Coping okay today. Utilizing techniques which help me to let go of specific dark emotional voids. It's all part of the life I'm responsible for, I guess you could say.

I'm coping well today. I feel good this morning. I'm alone for the holiday but I'll make the best of it. I'll make my own Thanksgiving feast.

Happy Thanksgiving to my American PC friends!

I am okay today, had a good long phone chat with a good friend this morning which made me smile and lifted my spirits.

I wished that I could have restarted this day over and fix all the things that went wrong this holiday. I did deliver some food to my neighbor today. That made me feel better.

I'm very stressed this morning. I'm trying to relax. I may watch a funny movie. For some reason, I want popcorn with lots of butter. I don't have any. Oh well. I do have lots of other yummy things. Maybe I will cope by eating all day.

Doing okay, I felt stressed by the news and a few other things but I switched my mood up with a gentle comedy film.

I wish that I could restart today over again it was so bad.

I’m really anxious today. None of my anxiety meds are working. I don’t get it. I’ve taken a lot of meds and I haven’t had any coffee. I slept good last night so I’m not tired. I also didn’t take any sleep meds so I’m not hungover. As my therapist said “sometimes we’re anxious for no reason.”

She wants me to stop finding a reason for everything. Sometimes we just feel ****** and we don’t know why but that’s ok to not know why.

I guess this is one of those days. I’m coping well though besides not eating a lot. I got a lot done and no even suspects how anxious I actually am.

I forgot until just now (I had been thinking about it all week not sure why it didn’t cross my mind today) that tomorrow is the 6th year anniversary of my dads death. So yeah maybe there is a bit of a reason for why I’m struggling today.

I’m doing ok today overall.

Pain from the voices but I am coping with determination.

I’m getting better at walking away and not engaging when he disappoints me.

I've been playing my game most of the day. I feel pretty relaxed. I'm in a good mood.

The pain from where my drainage tube is woke me up at 1 AM and still hurts. Since I am out of pain pills, it is easier to tell exactly where the pain is coming from. My drainage is less clear and I suspect my wrap must have pressed against the tube last night. Now that I am off pain pills, it will be easier to tell if the pain is getting better or worse--something I need to monitor....

I was doing ok until I started getting sick around 12. I’ve had Xanax and that didn’t help. I tried eating some soup thinking I might need to eat. It didn’t help. I don’t know what to do. I haven’t been thinking about therapy much and I am totally cool with the fact she said she couldn’t reply to me in email. I haven’t been overthinking things with her today and I’m not a mess because of the session tomorrow. Basically today I just don’t feel good physically.

Omg, pumpkin cake, pumpkin loaf and tomato and squash soup tomorrow with baked ziti. I’m all pumpkin-ed out but what is better than deliciously light cake with cream cheese frosting? (I’d take a Xanax too if I’d have the courage to ask for the prescription). Anyway, baking has gotten me through these past 5 days. Baking, pumpkin and puppies and kittens.

I decided to watch some Christmas movies to kind of brighten my day.

I took a nap this morning cause I was really stressed. I also did a grounding exercise my online T taught me. I think all that helped. I'm much calmer now.

I thought I was coping decently these last few days but according to my therapist I’m not. But today was ok before therapy. At Dollar General I found Oreo iced coffee in cans, I’ve been looking all over for them for about a year. I also got some orange cream M&Ms which I’ve never seen. So now I want a Dollar General gift card for Christmas.

I'm coping well this morning. I have energy so I'm getting things done. That will help me feel productive.

I’m coping pretty good today. I am sick with who knows what but I’ve managed to stay out of bed all day.

I'm doing okay. Keeping busy with home painting job and enjoying it.

I'm coping by vaping a lot. And I've been playing World of Warcraft. I feel pretty anxious this morning.

Today I'm very lonely.

MY spouse helps her niece babysit, and a friend with his accounting books, so I stay home alone. I should find something to do with my day so I don't. Yep, it's my own fault for not doing something, but I don't. So I'll just be lonely today. I might work on some Christmas cookies. That might be nice.
