How are you coping today? #3

Discombobulated · Nov 11, 2020 at 04:12 PM

Motivation was better today, I got up really early and ran a short run out before I had time to wake up. So then I rolled on with It, laundry and household jobs etc. I did feel better. It's so dark these days, I think that's part of the lowered motivation.

Okay considering I feel sad and still tired.

Woke up tired and extremely thirsty. Hope I can go back to bed in a few hours or take an afternoon nap.

Deilla · Nov 12, 2020 at 02:30 AM

I'm doing better now. When I woke up I felt awful physically. I took some Tyleno and started drinking water. My emotions are doing Okay this morning. I'm playing my game, which is a good distration.

I hope you can work in that nap, @TunedOut!

When you work on yourself and prioritize self-care and love, you can overcome all the obstacles coming your way. I'm feeling better every day. Thanks for all the support and love.

The last couple of mornings, I have been able to get a little sleep after breakfast.

I think I’m coping somewhat ok today. I was getting depressed so I looked over my DBT worksheet my T emailed me. Then I decided to take a walk which helped a lot with my depression and anxiety. But I feel like I should be eating more with how many calories I’ve burned on my walk and how many I actually set for today. I have 1,190 calories planned but with my walk I feel like I’m pretty low... and the eating part is really really pissing off my T. Yeah alot of it is restriction but the other part is I am clueless when it comes to nutrition.

I had a really good day. I got jobs done in the morning and then in the afternoon I met a relative I hadnt seen since the summer, outdoors, distanced, just 2 of us, within rules. It was so good to see her again. It was cold and we couldn't stay long because of that but I was so grateful for it.

I feel a lot of stress. The only time I am relaxed is if I'm meditating. I'm doing a lot of meditation. For some strange reason, my cats are really getting on my nerves. I may have to use some coping thoughts as well.

I’m pretty unmotivated but my moods aren’t terrible. I’ve been reading which has been a huge distraction. Too much of a distraction actually since I’ve also neglected things today. but I think it’s ok at this time to be really involved in a hobby.

Breaking Dawn · Nov 13, 2020 at 06:56 PM

I think I'm doing ok today. I have been sort of coasting along, so that means not having a stressful day, & I'm thankful about that.

Discombobulated · Nov 13, 2020 at 06:58 PM

Okay day. I briefly saw someone I hadn't seen for a long time, just a quick chat but it lifted my spirits.

Buffy01 · Nov 13, 2020 at 07:19 PM

I'm coming horrible last night and today. I felt shaky trembling. I had the cries.

Deilla · Nov 13, 2020 at 08:53 PM

I've been sleeping all day. I haven't felt well physically or emotionally. I wish I could just stay asleep. I keep waking up. But I don't want to be up.

I am feeling very bad.

Possible trigger:

It seems like I am going to die soon.

I am feeling very weak . Thoughts keep on coming.

Feeling nostalgic and it's hard
Missing life at home and dad, Missing life and people
Sipping hot tea trying to calm down

Breaking Dawn · Nov 14, 2020 at 11:52 AM

I am going to the market today, so I'm preparing myself with positive self talk, & I'm visualizing myself back home again, feeling glad that everything is fine.

Deilla · Nov 14, 2020 at 12:43 PM

I woke up sick today. But I took medicine and hydrated myself. Now I'm feeling better. I've been playing Star Wars. It's been nice. I've also been drinking Jamba juices. That was my treat to myself. It's helped.

Surprisingly good day, it rained all day and is dark but I had work to do at home and got on with it.
