How are you coping today? #3

My ill health both mental and physical is getting me down.....too much to contend with it's overwhelming and ('ve been anxious and depressed about it for months if not years...lock down has affected me quite sverely this time,making me stuck at home not getting enough fresh air or company.Can't be good for the body or the immune system/It's like the government want us to be depressed and get ill.

I just asked for support from my doctors for support but my guess is they will want to refer me to mental health team which I will refuse because all they do is offer drugs and several people I've met there before are nacissistic abusers so better without ending up in their hands.I am in a really bad state and my moods are really low

Hugs to everyone struggling. It's so hard for so many at the moment.

I'm not top form but doing okay. Okay is good enough by me.

More pain in my arm it woke me up at 2am again,it really hurts!

I'm coping today by cooking. I've made three meals. I'm getting ready to make another one. I'll keep cooking until there's no more room in my fridge.

I managed to get back to sleep after being woken by the pain in my arm at 2am last night.
I slept again until 8.15am so not too bad I got about 7 hours sleep last night.
I just clicked on an ad at the bottom of this page and it took me to an amazon site,it said fill in a survey and
a chance to win an iphone 11 and yep I won the phone paid the £1 they asked for a page came up with details of the win but
disappeared after a second now I am wondering if it is legit cos I gave my card details and a £1 was withdrawn from my bank account.
I guess I will have to wait and see if an iphone 11 comes in the post,eh?
Has anyone else here won a phone by clicking on the ads at the bottom of this page,it's too good to be true so I guess it must be a con?
And I gave my card details oh no!I figured if it wasn't legit you wouldn't allow the advert on your website page?Am I right?It was a scam I cancelled my card with the bank so no harm done.

Glad you cancelled your card. Yes sounds like a scam, if they ask for your bank details it's not genuine.

I'm not sure about whether this site would allow ads like that (I haven't seen one) but sometimes it can be pop ups/adware on your own computer/phone.

I been trying to keep myself busy with watching movies to distract myself from social media bullying.

Trying to keep busy to cope with boredom, but the thing about having exciting plans is the lack of excitement leading up to them.

My arm still hurts,it only woke me up briefly last night though and I didn't have to get out of bed,I just used a large bean bag to prop myself up in bed in a seated position cos it hurt less in that position and I was able to get back to sleep again.My arms has been hurting for two weeks now and I really am fed up of being in pain!

Lockdown is really starting to make me very low I am fed up of being stuck indoors and not be able to just go out find a cafe or coffee shop and sit there for as long as I want.and the cinemas being closed.Also upsetting is the prospect of when these place are open again not being allowed in cos I haven't has the vaccine.The world has gone to pot it's a living nightmare!We have lost so many freedoms and we are headed for world dictatorships.

My arm hurt so bad last night and I ran out of painkillers,from 9pm last night I've been asleep in the sitting position,lying down brings excrutiating pain now it is 4.40am and I am awake might as well stay up ,have a shower at 5am,put bin bags out for dustmen and stay up till it is time to go to post office and then go do a food shop.Not feeling like going out but it's food shop day.I gotta pay money into my bank so the bills get paid too!

I'm having a difficult time. I tried retail therapy. I was just looking at stuff. But I don't know what I want.

I've been up since 4.30am I had toast, took my medications,tidied the kitchen, put dished in sink to wash later,changed cat litter,put bins out for binmen
and had a shower,dried my hair and got dressed and had a cup of tea.I am going out to pay bills and do a food shop at 9am.I am getting tired again and yes my arm still hurts a lot,
damn it!

Not doing so well. We are in a horrible heat wave and still in this semi-locked down phase. My husband is being a grouch. I'm tired of it all.

I seem to be doing better today.

I'm in bed.

I wasn’t doing bad today. I’m just confused right now after therapy about what I want and don’t want. I’m in bed now but I have a video session with my Pdoc in about an hour. I wonder if he’s gonna blab to my T that I seem like I’m in a funk and if they will put two and two together. Often he doesn’t even seem to catch onto my body language or tone.

I am also legit very tired. I haven’t slept good in 2 nights.

I feel like my day was off. When it should have been good. Nothing went right.

Felt energetic/got a lot done yesterday but was so tired last night that I forgot to take the 300 mg gabapentin pill that I usually take every evening. So I woke up between midnight and 1:00 AM. Having decaf coffee and took that pill in hopes of getting back to sleep in a little while. If I don't, it will be a low energy day.....

I'm doing well this morning. I've been talking with a new friend I made in-game. It was nice to have some kind of human interaction. I'm going to do some chores then head back to bed.

I’m not coping badly today. I took a shower and brushed my teeth. Got dressed. Kept my visible moods in check. I’m not S or thinking of SH. Basically I’m still just super down and I don’t know why. I’m not hungry. My stomach is really off and my anxiety is through the roof despite 2 mil of Xanax spread throughout the day. I wish I knew what was wrong.

Such a strange day, very dark and rainy all day, but doing okay today despite some very realistic worries about people I care about.

I’m seriously considering going inpatient to the mental health hospital. My anxiety is so out of control. I don’t feel like it’s a safety issue but I can’t eat much and I’m sleeping terribly and it’s just taking a toll on me.

Today my coping ability is off & on, sometimes ok & other times pretty difficult.

I feel sad today, a few things getting me down, but I am okay and coping with it. I'm safe and warm (on a cold winter's night) and going to watch some TV.

Things are going pretty well today. I also was able to do a load of laundry and saw my parents - and side note, my parents got the vaccine today which I'm feeling very happy about.
