I was at least controlling my bad moods today. My mom was not. It was frustrating trying to talk to her because she didn’t really want to talk and every time I asked something she got crabby with me. We are all having a tough time emotionally with this move. This is the first time I’ve seen her like this as a result of the move. She needs to take it easy. She’s not sleeping much because her mind is on all the stuff that needs to get done. She’s going to wear herself out. But then this afternoon my cousin who has always wanted kids announced she’s pregnant so my mom seems to be in a better mood now because of that.

Basically I was fine on the outside. But I was a bit heavy on the Xanax and S for about an hour or so but nothing that didn’t go away with mindfulness and a lot of medication.

Note to self: do not get involved with him about anything again. We can’t work together.

Severe depression today the isolation of third lockdown is getting to me I am so low almost want to end it.I reached out for support emailed the Samaritans and asked my doctors for counselling,and emailed my Member of Parliament complaining to him about how lockdown is really detrimental to my mental health,asking him to convey to ministers and the PM that lockdown has to end sooner rather than later.

I didn't cope very well today. I got very stressed out and used a negative coping skill. It helped for the moment but now I don't feel well.

Still paying for hotel rooms to keep my son from becoming homeless. So far, he has kept his two jobs. When we went to check on the apartment which he is supposed to move into next week, they are still waiting for proof of income from his roommates. Praying that his roommates come through. Though I know some young people have good jobs--my sons friends are all working in restaurants like him--even the ones that have completed their college degrees. I live in a state that is not totally shut down. If our state did shut down again because of the virus, many of them could not pay rent. This is why the government can't shut everything down unless they provide better support systems for low income people. Covid is dangerous but so is not having shelter, healthcare and food and given the risks of Covid when you are in your 20s, perhaps the latter is worse....

I was feeling stressed this morning. So I took a shower. It really helped. I feel more alert and better able to face the day. I don't normally take showers, but I think I want to get into a daily habit.

People desperately need affordable housing right now. There’s a push to get this going and improved. Have you checked HUD? I think there are subsidized programs.

Worried about my appointment with psychiatrist. I don’t know what to tell him about the meds, and think he will dismiss me as a patient.

I am not coping well with being here. I need to take a break I think.

Today I am coping by reading what many of you are saying, & so I'm feeling less a loser & misfit. These are not such good times right now & most of us have experienced too much to feel adequate, though we keep trying.

Last time I called, the city about housing assistance (they also advise about HUD programs), they told me the the waiting list was long with veteran's and people with children taking priority over everyone else. They advised not to bother until our son had a job because the jobless on the list were at the bottom (implying the bottom of the list was never served). While he has a job, he does need to get him on the list. Perhaps the new administration's priorities will shorten the waiting list. Thanks for the reminder.

I coped well besides an extra milligram of Xanax. I made a safety plan and despite being tired I’m not doing too bad. I avoided a lot of unhealthy stuff.

I'm doing okay today, I got my outdoor exercise and went for my rapid test which they are now doing for key workers. I feel reassured by those.

Chatted online with a good friend which was nice too.

I am processing the session I just had with my psychiatrist. He had me stop the meds, as they didn’t work enough. He referred me for an MRI to rule out something I am sure is not possible. I will first ask my internist, and then a neurologist, before I do a likely unnecessary procedure. This one takes the cake.

I was doing well all day. I’m getting kind of tired and a bit anxious right now. I may go take half of my meds right now.

I've been ill most of the day. I'm coping by getting plenty of fluids and sleeping a lot.

I'm feeling much better today. I couldn't take care of my chores yesterday. So I'm coping today by taking care of them now before it gets too late. It will help me relax and enjoy my day.

Not well - my husband is an a-hole who is making this divorce and my life most difficult. If I were to physically be around him right now, there might be violence on my part. I am that on edge.

The urges to self-harm I strong but I am more in the presence, less switching. In general I am used to waking up with urges and spending all day with them but I want to be productive but I can not concentrate because o this. I feel like giving in just to concentrate but I do not want to give in.
