I guess I'm coping pretty well today.

I'm struggling. I really haven't been able to sleep and I have a migraine this morning. I'm not sure if I need more coffee. I only had 1 cup today. I'm really stressed out.

I have had a terrible couple of weeks where my eating was out of control and my sugars went sky high.
So I am not coping well and my body has felt unwell and my depression has been especially bad.I don't feel good am not really coping.Have
been sleeping all day and neglecting to do the chores.Today won't be any different I will appear to cope cos I will leave the house and go hange out at
the cafe as a distraction to all my problems,but my depression and unhappiness will still be there when I get home.

I'm trying to cope by playing my game. It's not much of a distraction cause I'm ruminating over negative things. I know I need to be more positive. It's hard when everwhere I turn there's a problem.

I coped well today, I had a hair appointment this morning and the chat cheered me up as usual.

I got some cleaning done which needed it and laundry. Just felt more motivated than lately which was good.

I'm coping better today. I'm in a good mood and I'm problem-solving.

Breaking Dawn · Oct 09, 2020 at 05:05 AM

I am coping splendidly. Must be something in the air.

Up and down a bit but more ups than downs. Worked on a handmade card tonight for a social network card exchange and focussing on that was good for me.

I'm full of SHYT

@Fuzzybear, I'm sorry you got that message. My snake was telling me the same thing. But we don't have to buy into it. I hope you're doing well now. I'm feeling better.

Discombobulated · Oct 10, 2020 at 12:34 PM

Yeah the snakes are lying. Try not to listen my friends.

Discombobulated · Oct 10, 2020 at 12:36 PM

I did okay but inside I am struggling with the whole situation we have to live with. Little coping mechanisms help and getting coffee and chatting to the woman at the counter really helped - she is fed up too.

In this moment, I am sad. I think it's partly because of what I ate.

I went to the thrift store with my mother earlier this morning, and it was nice to just browse.

Breaking Dawn · Oct 10, 2020 at 05:49 PM

Today I seem to be coping pretty well.

I got engrossed in decluttering today and made quite a bit of progress.Most of clutter in front room upstairs is paperwork and books and shoes that are going to the charity shop week after next.That will mean that room has a lot more space in it.So I am relieved.I am making progress with decluttering which makes me happy.
I did get confused and disorientated and triggered,I almost panicked cos I had memories from 10 years ago when my home was so full of stuff I couldn't live in it it was affecting my mental health.I don't want that to happen again so have to get things sorted again now.
Today statrted off on a low cos I was depressed and slept in until 4pm.After I got loads of housework and decluttering done.I am pleased about that but am so tired now and depressed again but that is because I am physically tired.I always get physically tired and that always causes depression and low moods.I think considering the depression I coped ok today,I did good.

I'm feeling annoyed at myself because I'm allowing someone to irritate me, and I don't know why I'm allowing it.

Not coping well today. I’ve put too many of my priorities on hold and now what I’ve lost I won’t be able to get back. Waited too long to put deer fencing on my tomato plants and well I guess deer like the biggest roundest tomatoes the best, because they were all eaten last night and the deer had the courtesy to leave a very clean poop behind. My small studio apartment has a nice yard and deck, but it is really turned out to be a lot of work to maintain a safe space for me and Amber. What was I thinking trying to bring a kitten into the mix

Deilla · Oct 11, 2020 at 03:53 AM

I'm coping fairly well this morning. Maybe a little tired and lonely.
