How are you coping today? #3

I'm coping.

Hello.......

I want a takeaway but my history fails (The staff know im bulimic and try not to give me high calorie foods) But I know if I do have a burger & Chips I know I wont vomit it up but with my History they have to ask the manager if I can get some.How do I let them know that I dont want to vomit and just enjoy my food Im ready but there not.

I'm feeling a little bit better than how I was feeling the other day, so that's a positive thought.

I’m not coping too well today. Physically or mentally. My med management today is a complete mess. I’ve been taking stuff at the wrong times all day. I just want to move already to get out of here.

Hanging in there... doing what needs to be done...

Not too bad. Was a bit “naughty” and took it a bit easy at work today; I was tired after working so many shifts and I’m off tomorrow. Emotionally, up and down a little.

I'm coping fairly well. I'm up early and plan on taking care of a few tasks so that the rest of my day goes smoothly.

I got up early,tidied my bedroom,had breakfast,porridge and apple,tea and took meds,had a shower and got dressed.Brought stuff downstairs that I am taking to the charity shop later.I am anxious about taking stuff to charity shop,feeling that they may judge me on the stuff I give them,its stupid I know,they probably won't care and probably be thankful for the stuff to sell for their charity.

I have been feeling really depressed and I am today again very low in mood.I don't know how to lift my moods,the weather doesn't help.I get so lonely,I miss my mum,I am not able to see her cos of corona virus,she's in a care home,only one person per family is allowed to visit once a week,my sister is doing the visiting,I am not allowed to.

Lockdown starts on thursday.Gonna keep busy doing ironing and housework and trying to lose weight and exercise.

But I am quite severely depressed,I guess I am coping though I am struggling to do that,I wish I had something or someone to depend on to help my mood and make me feel secure.

I feel like that 5 year old walking to and from school alone crossing busy roads and saying to myself,my mother hates me if she didn't hate me she wouldn't make me walk to school alone and come back alone to an empty house!I started saying my mother hates me aged five and I have been saying it in my head,it forms part of my automatic thoughts throughout my life.I still say it and I'm 56 and my mum is 90 and in a care home.

I am actually scared of going to the charity shop to take the stuff but I know I will feel good once I have done the trip so breathe deeply in and out and ring a taxi and do it.The charity shop opens in an hour so will go then!

I'm coping ok so far. I want to fulfill some important goals today & I'm feeling worried that I won't follow through, so I'm hoping I'm not going to be letting myself down. I need to say encouraging things to myself.

My mom thinks I’m ok for the most part. Therapist is seeing a completely different side. I’m not ok. I just don’t want my mom to worry. I’ve decided to just take the new anti depressant, avoid emailing T and see how I feel next week after I’ve cooled down and have had the med in my system for awhile. I do think what I was feeling today was physical as well. The pain is still there. I took an Advil and it made a difference.

Drinking a lot of coffee. I'm so mad at myself. I started the day with so much hope. And felt great, ready to conquer my addictions. Now it's almost 3pm and I feel like I've done nothing but scour LinkedIn for posts I can comment on, and try to show the world that I'm "wicked smaaaaht" (like Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting).

I'm sick of wasting my time. It's like scratching an itch...feels good at the moment, and then causes long term pain.

Sore tummy tonight which is almost certainly stress related plus also eating wrong things! I am sipping a very nice ginger tea now as a remedy.

Other than that okay - keeping busy.

Today is tough. Sad. Hopeless. Fighting to focus on the good. Frustrated.

It’s not for your diary. You get to say how you feel in a marriage or it ends (hand raised).
Try this: kind/assertive. Say what you need to say, but evaluate first: is this kind/assertive?
There is passive and aggressive (and a combination of the two) which don’t work . Just evaluate.. then say what you need to say. Hope that helps.

I'm doing fairly well. I'm up early and working on chores. I went to bed early. I feel like I got enough rest. I just have one more thing to do, then I will focus on fun activities.

I feel really horrible today. What was meant to be a good thing turn into something bad.

Better today.

The soreness and dizziness kicked in yesterday. It was a relief when I was finally able to go to sleep yesterday afternoon. Just woke up and probably won't be up long. Still dizzy but all that sleep made my legs less sore. Yesterday was likely the worst of it.

Hugs to you, @TunedOut!, & sending you wishes filled with love & vitalizing energy!

I've been busy this morning. But things are starting to settle down and I'm feeling lonely. I will try to cope by using my DBT skills.

Gentle hugs @TunedOut hoping today is better for you.

I feel unfocused and unmotivated- I have stuff I need to do but just cant get started, or I start and then stop. Need to get out of this.

I'm experiencing the same problem, @Discombobulated. I hope you & I improve soon, & also others experiencing this. Hugs!

I haven’t slept good in at least a week and I’ve slept terribly since Tuesday night but right now I feel very tired. I feel like my body is allowing me to be tired now that my mind is at ease.
