I felt really ill today cos my blood pressure went even higher than yesterday so I had to start taking the blood pressure meds the doctor gave me and risk the side effects.
If I don't get my blood pressure down I am going to have a stroke or heart attack.Doctors says it should start to come down my blood pressure after 4 weeks on these meds.Please God I don't have side eefects and have to stop them.Didn't cope very well today mainly was resting,did clean the kitchen and wash the dishes and put them away.

Coped okay today, an online video chat with friends who live overseas which was nice. Talked through some important stuff with someone close to me who is struggling today.

I’m not doing too good. I took 3 milligrams of Xanax after some stressful email exchanges. I thought the Xanax would help a ton but I just fell asleep for an hour and woke up feeling groggy and still pretty anxious. I took half my night meds 15 minutes ago. I’m hoping that helps. Back in the days in 2012/2013 the only time I felt relief from my anxiety was at night because of my meds. Now it seems like the best time for me is in the morning before 11.

After my posts today, vowing to stop procrastinating and finish my taxes (we had VA health copays last year based on our income from 2019--our 2020 income coupled with our medical expenses, will likely be low enough to have $0 copays). My procrastination is causing me $.

I’m trying to have gratitude and not say the negative.

I still have Burititis in my arm and it still hurts a lot and is uncomfortable especially when I try to sleep at night.
My blood pressure came down a bit more and I don't feel as ill from that as I did yesterday.
I am still quite depressed and low and lockdown makes my anxiety and depression worse.
I am coping today by just doing nothing,sitting on the sofa wrapped in blankets and looking after my cats,changing their cat litter box
and seeing that they have food and water,that is the most I am doing today and fixing myself my meals.
I am not forcing myself to do chores.

It is a horrible feeling to be so depressed you can't motivate yourself to do anything that you used to enjoy.
You just can't be bothered and no matter how much you want to move and get somethiing done you can't move to do it!

I don't know if you'd call this coping,I guess it is though!

I’m not coping the best today. I’m just so angry and I don’t know why. I had my Geodon and Xanax increased recently. Not sure if that’s what’s going on. My mom said the F word in the car, she was quoting some song, and I snapped at her because the swearing bothered me. I can deal with quite a lot of swearing, but the F word bugs me for some reason.

These feelings seemed to come on very suddenly Wednesday night. Also food is still making me feel super anxious because I’m worried I’m going to get sick or a stomach ache from eating. So I don’t know if I have an ED but I know I’m developing a phobia of food and I’m losing weight as a result of only being able to eat a few specific foods I deem safe.

Switched my mid-day snack/lunch to a protein shake and having a light yogurt with dinner. Unfortunately still feeling the cravings from the cookies I had last weekend so will cool it on the sweets.

I took paracetemol for the Burititis pain in my arm that was a relief and omega 3 fish oils for the heavy depression,it seems to help,so my sister ordered me
some more from the health food store,to be delivered to my address.

I'm trying. It's difficult. I did see my med provider yesterday. We're increasing my AD. I hope that helps. Other than that, I'm hoping to feel accomplished by doing chores.

Not sure if your mother was angry but I have never liked when people swear in an angry way. Though there are some who can use swearing in a colorful way that seems less offensive. But yes, when our mother's swear, it seems a bit out of place for most of us. My mother was a proper lady with a 50s (rather than 60s) sensibility. I never saw her swear in public but I was the type of child who could make her swear. Don't remember my siblings bringing this side of her out.

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

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.
