So far I've had 2 cups of coffee & I've been trying to organize my thoughts & plan my day.

Another calm discussion that goes no where.

I’m coping fine today. I’m not feeling the best and I’m very tired but I took a cepacol and I feel a bit better. I did good in group. My case manager challenged me to do something and I did it. I’m getting better at being challenged and pushed. My anxiety isn’t that bad. I haven’t had my second Xanax yet. I’m also not too depressed today despite crappy weather outside.

Okay today, I got some exercise and that helps.

I am so tired. We are back working in person after one month online and long commute already getting to me. Sometimes I wish I was independently rich or maybe poor but didn’t care if I am poor. Lol I love my job but I am f...g tired. Especially in the winter. Driving. Getting up early. Then this constant sanitizing. Spraying. Wiping. Ugh

Other than that I am managing. Oh my husband getting vaccine tomorrow. That’s a positive

I am coping by trying to get things done. I've also been playing my game. I wish I didn't get so depressed all the time. I'm not sure if I should try to increase my AD or leave it the same. I think too high of a dose could make things worse.

After yesterday's lots of exercise I felt kind of flat today and had to push myself to go out and walk. I'm glad I did.

I was struggling today,my depression was very bad and I was tired and my body hurt all over,I wasn't able to exercise so felt worse.I got through the day by messaging on my phone for support,I messaged my counsin,she was depressed and afraid of covid says lockdown is a nightmare,I felt the same so we commiserated with each other.We are both worried about the government curtailing our freedoms and civil liberties.I also texted my sister who always tries to keep me feeling positive and she did help.
I didn't cope much I slept most of the day and it was freezing outside and the house was so cold I hid under blankets until about 4pm when I put the heating on.We are in full lockdown here in the UK until March 31 at least.It's a blooming nightmare,for sure!

I decided to clean while I wait for news on my nephew who had surgery today.

Deilla · Jan 07, 2021 at 02:27 PM

I'm not coping very well. I'm avoiding all my responsibilities.

Mountaindewed · Jan 07, 2021 at 05:40 PM

I’m coping well I guess. I had group and did well. I wasn’t very productive after. My mom and my brother went to a couple malls and a couple other retail stores and it annoyed me. I’m pretty sure my mom is close to getting her vaccine and I just don’t understand why she can’t wait to do all this running around. I’ve been online ordering 95% of the time and doing curbside grocery pickup 85% of the time during this entire pandemic and she runs out everyday. She also went out to eat twice. I haven’t been to a restaurant since March. It’s called carry out. She is 68 and I worry about her. And for some reason I have a feeling I would not survive Covid if I got it. Just one of my famous visions. So yeah I’m worried about myself as well. They went out looking for a ****ing calendar. Um, Amazon???

Breaking Dawn · Jan 08, 2021 at 02:57 AM

Not well. ....

Deilla · Jan 09, 2021 at 02:49 PM

I'm using my journal to cope today. I had a difficult morning. I will try to relax now and play some games.

Mountaindewed · Jan 09, 2021 at 04:39 PM

Well, my laundry is overfilling and I haven’t taken a shower, or brushed my teeth. But I’m coping pretty well. My emotions are in check and my anxiety is ok too. Any day my anxiety isn’t through the roof is a good day even if I am not productive. Although I learned that it’s bad when your anxiety is so low because you don’t do anything.

Have Hope · Jan 09, 2021 at 05:07 PM

Today I fell apart and lost my s-h-i-t.

Deilla · Jan 10, 2021 at 02:22 AM

I'm not coping very well. I tried to work on some music. It just made me depressed. The only thing that doesn't stress me out right now is just playing my game.

divine1966 · Jan 10, 2021 at 10:11 AM

I am so sick of politics and covid.

Me and my dad cleaning one of moms closets today. It took us two years after her death to even touch it. We cleaned one closet two weekends back and it was heart breaking. We donate her clothes but I took some stuff home. And it smelled like my mom. Well clothes is clean it’s just every house has a smell so it felt like it smelled like my mom. We have to do more today. I mean how much longer can we have stuff sitting.

it sucks though

Breaking Dawn · Jan 10, 2021 at 10:18 AM

Dear @divine1966, That is so sad!

God bless you!

Discombobulated · Jan 10, 2021 at 10:19 AM

Everything was annoying me yesterday, I was this little ball of anger. Better today and back at work too which definitely helps.
