How are you coping today? #3

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.

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

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???

Not well. ....

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

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.

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

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.

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

Dear @divine1966, That is so sad! God bless you!

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

I am coping well despite the fact that I have bad anxiety and depression. I am doing good with the ADL’s. I took a shower and brushed my teeth. I had 2 loads of laundry to do and one is in the dryer and the other is in the washer. I turned off the TV and I started a book instead. It’s been an improvement today even if I don’t feel great.

Thank goodness for the stimulus since all of it and more went for my son's hotel room which costs much more than I can afford. He found two new jobs but they are very low paying. Praying he doesn't get the virus. Bringing him his stimulus check after my doc appointment today and will be wearing my mask the whole time since he has so much exposure to other people. Wish I could just hide out at home and forget about the virus but everyone has to go out sooner or later....

My normal way of coping isn't working. So I think I will find something else to do. I'm not sure what that will be. I've tried journaling, playing my game and posting here. None of it is working out.

I seem to be coping ok right now. Being here helps a lot.

I'm not. I'm feeling very sorry for myself right now. I feel like breaking down crying and holding a pity party.

I didn't do too well coping today.My mood was low and I slept most of the day,told my sister how depressed I was and she asked me if I was taking my vitamin suppplements which I wasn't so I did take them.I took omega 3 oils,vitamins D,K,E and B complex and some magnesium and calcium and some zinc for immunity and depression,and after half an hour I started feeling better.I have not felt like doing anything much none of the things I usually find pleasure doing I have had no motivation.I am very down about being on lockdown and the tv news has been all doom and gloom.....not a good situation in the UK covid numbers and deaths are up.1000 people dying a day they said yesterday and 500 today.

I'm trying to cope this morning. I'm drinking iced coffee, which soothes me, and I'm working on relaxing. I've been sleeping off and on for 12 hours. I guess I could get more sleep. I sort of want to sleep the day away.

Tried to be careful by spreading apart and only taking my mask off when I was eating but had a lovely lunch out with my son and daughter yesterday. Will extend his hotel (his jobs are in the most expensive part of town and he doesn't have a car) until Sunday, then, thankfully, a mother of his friend said he could stay there for a while. Unfortunately, because our family is so dysfunctional, she has stepped in more than once when our son had no one else. There have been times when his friend's mothers have been there for him when I wasn't. He has been preapproved for an apartment which he will share with two other people but that won't start until next month.

Doing okay. Work is definitely helping although not without its stresses at the moment, on the whole though I had a productive shift. Afterwards I relaxed. I'm getting maybe a bit too good at this staying home business.

I am feeling better physically. Mentally I was ok until about noon. Then my anxiety got pretty bad. I took half of my meds an hour ago. It helped a ton. I didn’t want to eat dinner but I fixed my usual stuff and I actually feel much better now that I’ve eaten.
