I'm kind of just about coping, but I am feeling a build up of stress and worry about the world situation. Which I can do nothing to influence. Cold weather is keeping me indoors too which is not good. I ran this morning but it was hard work keeping stable on the snow and ice.

I can't even call this "coping". I am splitting again and I don't know what to do.

I tried a lot of different ways to cope like journaling, reading, looking at affirmations and talking with someone. But overall I still feel bad.

I’m not being very productive today. I was watching TV. Now I’m in bed. I think I feel anxious because I forgot my Geodon. And I just have the usual stomach ache and pain. Plus I’m very tired even though I slept mostly through the night. But I got my laundry done today so that was good.

I feel like I should give myself a break. I’m going through a lot with this health stuff and switching therapists at the same time. Not to mention Covid is still going on.

Was feeling a bit sad last night (was listening to sad songs like
which just made it worse), but, thankfully, I almost always wake up in better spirits in the morning. Looking forward to viewing my church's service via YouTube today. Looking forward to when I can actually attend (after I get my shots ). Looking forward to helping my family--especially my son, this week. Still trying to get him into his apartment. I talk to him everyday. He is the one I worry about the most. We have always had an emotional bond that affects me greatly. I try to guard against being too emotionally enmeshed to him but also recognize that he needs help and encouragement. It has always been a challenge for me to figure out the proper balance in regards to helping him....

I guess I'm coping by doing chores.

I’m doing well today. My anxiety is under control. My stomach hurts like hell though I’m so nauseated. I’ve just been reading all day. The Benadryl is out of my system so I was eating normally.

I felt depressed again today.I was trying to rest today kept putting off doing the washing up from three days ago and dying my hair.Well I managed to do the washing up tonight and I dyed my hair.I am just about to go to bed but I am gonna have a slice of bread and humus as a snack before bed.I think I am doing ok and coping well becuase although I have been depressed I am still functioning and getting stuff done and I am not moaning and complaining to my family about how low I feel,so that is good.

I’m coping well but I’m in so much pain and I am also very tired. I may go lie down for the rest of the day.

I was incontinent 4 times last night, not just a little, either. apart from dealing with that, I do have something to smile about: today when I did my
quiz, I scored 9/10 on my quiz. it would have been 10, but I didn't know who hosted the last olympic games. I am also going to have pancakes today for
shrove tuesday. sugar and lemmon

That is understandable. Stress can do that to a person.

I feel okay today, almost optimistic, not that I quite dare to be but almost!

Work was good, lots done again. I was reflecting on how 3 years ago I was so fed up there I wanted to leave, but I stuck in and there was a change of staff and management and things are so much better. Nothing stays the same forever.

I’m kind of mixed today. I was feeling sick. Then I was kind of depressed. Now I feel ok because the sun is shining right in my face and it’s giving me false hopes of spring. I’ve been coping well though.

I've been coping better today than I have in a while. I did things I've been wanting to do, & that gave me a good feeling. I finally went to the store yesterday, which turned out really well, & I think that led to more motivation for today.
