How are you coping today? #3

Doing okay, very tired so rested up, have been very upset about a few people I know going through hard times and powerless to help them. I guess it's just how things are right now for many of us.

Very up and down through this divorce process. It's been emotionally upsetting and very draining, eye opening and also freeing at the same time. I DO see the light at the end of the tunnel though, and on some days, I feel far better and far happier. That gives me hope. As far as coping? Eh. On the bad days I am drinking too much and then sending angry texts to my abusive soon to be ex husband. I'm not proud of myself for these moments where I slip downwards.

I'm not coping well. The current state of affairs in the US has me upset. I just have to accept that things aren't going well. And then just let it go. It's beyond my control.

I think I am coping pretty good.

Not bad I had the best day since the Covid-19 Read some of my book.did some colouring in pictures and I had time to go online on youtube to listen to some music. Also got my injection done this morning. I want to get some rest and tomorrow do the same all over again just have a bit of fun and a laugh makes my day better.

I'm so glad, @princesscookie19, that you were able to enjoy your book, coloring, & music. And I hope you can get some rest so that you can enjoy some of your favorite things again.

I’m doing ok. I’m tired from my med increases and I took a nap for the first time in a long time. But I got through group and am getting done chores around the house. I think I’ll go take a Vicks Vapobath after the laundry is done.

after only two hours of sleep and being at the hospital/clinic for about 5 hours -> i'm eating donuts. it's not in me to care anymore

I don't feel well physically or emotionally. I've been coping by sleeping since 1 pm. I'm not sure if I will stay up now or if I will go back to bed. I feel worse.

My emotions are all over the place today. I watch some movies that describes the way that I feel..

I got the New Year blues,feeling low and lethargic,it's cold and I just want to be lying down and wrapped in blankets!

I think I am coping ok. The morning has been interesting to me.

Thanks @Breaking Dawn Im having a nice day just got some hot chocolate from Costa and later we are having Ham & Turkey roast dinner with fizzy coke-a-cola :P Im listening to 0-zone -Zone - Dragostea Din Tei [Official Video]

I found new year a bit triggering. I had quite a bit of anxiety and felt low. My sister rang late afternoon and the chat helped quite a lot, she listened, was empathetic, and shared with me some of her own fears. We also chatted about some lighter stuff, tv and books, that cheered and distracted me. My mood is so much better since then.

I am OK, I guess.

It's new years day, and I told my abusive malignant narcissist husband that I hate and despise him, and that he appalls and disgusts me and is a despicable human being.

Happy new year to me.

I am still depressed have been low since this morning,I feel like a failure cos I am meant to walk over 1000 steps a day nearer 2000 and I only managed 800 today.I am trying to follow the program with my new fitbit watch.Am I being too hard on myself for not being able to do it,I have limited mobility cos I'm severely overweight.
I am thinking to maybe try and do exercise workouts at home rather than do the walking but I can't get going on those either.Now it's late at night and am tired so thinking about walking or exercising tomorrow right now makes me feel no can't do it,I don't want to do it!So I'm feeling like a failure and am beating myself up.Should I be more understanding of myself?

I’m coping well today. My anxiety was under control and I started working out which is an improvement. I have an indoor trampoline that I actually garbage picked from the neighbors across the street and it’s a great way to get rid of stress. And you burn a ton of calories even if you just do it for 10 minutes.

Ok and slept in today and took it easy most of the day, and took down Christmas decorations, washed dishes, did some laundry, watched holiday baking show, and later watched a movie.

That you found yourself saying: he appalls and disgusts me and is a despicable human being. makes me think you are also dealing with an anxious sort of depression IMO, while it might be good to express feelings like this once, if you are doing this over and over, you need help with this. I know you are getting care for you mental health issues. Have you been talking to them about your anger issues? I know you have been viewing many videos about narcissism. Have you viewed these?

I am not coping well at all..Ive been on this forum for the first time which has helped.

Are you being treated for depression? I used to be suicidal but by seeking help (I went to therapy for a while and still take some medication for depression and anxiety), but no longer am. There are many helpful websites about it: Depression and Suicide | GSPIN. I am so glad that I have been given a second chance. I hope you can find a way to overcome these feelings too.

I am struggling this morning. I feel tired and discouraged. But I will try to work on some hobbies and play games to turn things around.

I’m coping ok today. But my stomach is starting to hurt. This happened last month and that’s when I realized I was about to get my period. I don’t actually get my period anymore but I still have PMS. I’m wondering if that’s what’s causing my issues. Therefore I am going to work on getting approved for a hysterectomy in the next few months. Because I can’t take this pain or these emotional issues that are going along with it every month.

I felt like I was coping alright this morning. That's because I was very busy with cleaning. In the afternoon my coping went down. I feel bad that it's back to the old routine on Monday. Back to working five days a week and not feeling crazy about my job anymore. Maybe this might be the year to retire. I surely would hate to be out of work right now with the way things are going.

I was catastrophizing about so many things yesterday. Then, late in the afternoon, as it worsened I looked at my pill bottle and saw that I had forgotten to take the antidepressant that I usually take after breakfast. It does help me with my negativity. I need that extra help now because it is such a challenge to help a family member from afar--financially, emotionally and for reasons I won't disclose, I am in the middle of things--I get instructions from one person on how to deal with the other or one person talks about the other and it ends up causing minefields for me to deal with. Sigh.
