How are you coping today? #3

well: I didn't get to have the pancakes

partly because I just sat around all day feeling sorry for myself (depression), and partly because I didn't have any lemmon.
but I will have some this week for sure...... nom nom nom nom

Last night I was severely depressed,I had had a bad day,and I got paid but money was still short.I did a food shop but got exhausted physically and I also got tired at home packing the shop away,when that happens my mental health declines rapidly.I felt so down last night I had to email the Samaritains for support,they replied today.I got through last night with text support from my sister.

Today I resolved to have a day of complete rest to try and revive my mental health.I would only do chores if I felt like it.So I slept in bed until 10 am when the pharmacy delivered my medications.I ate took meds and sat down to rest.I have put laundry on,cleaned bathroom,emptied upstairs bins and also I cleaned some stains off the hall carpet upstairs so that's good.I did more than I was going to.I might do the washing up later too and put it away.

So all in all I am coping better today.I was also able to borrow £30 from my sister so will get through the next 14 days until pay day.

Haven't heard from someone I was supposed to meet with earlier today. My imagination is running away which is making me extremely anxious. Saying my prayers. My mind jumps to the worst possibilities sometimes.

I think I am coping fairly well. I've kept myself busy with chores, games and music. I also had a telehealth appointment. I think I will try to meditate so I can relax more.

I can’t really get any relief from anything. I’ve been drinking a lot of water and Gatorade because I just feel dehydrated and sick. I’ve taken 2mil of Xanax today but the anxiety I’m feeling right now feels like it’s a sore throat/chest discomfort instead of just plain anxiety.

Today is similar to yesterday. I am coping pretty well. I got some sad news today & I'm dealing with it intellectualy, like with the left brain type of thinking.

I don't feel well emotionally tonight. I think I need more sleep. I also need to relax a while. So I think I will take my meds and then do a meditation. My cats are in bed. It will be nice to rest with them.

I am ok I went to bed early 9pm slept until 4am,felt refreshed when I woke.I have been reading the papers online.I am not doing much today going to do a food shop and buy a takeaway coffee,drink it in the food hall as lockdown means no sitting down in the coffee shop.

I am tired from a lot of early work starts this week but otherwise okay. My motivation is still low when I'm not at work (it's good at work) but that's how it is.

I have been having fun watching old classic episodes of southpark- mostly season 1 and season 2

those were the days. I love the earlier episodes. really make me laugh

I really wish I still had my cuddly cartman stuffed toy

loved him

I have a Mr. Garrison that I really like. I used to have a big “talking” Kenny and a big Chef.

I have a small tooth fairy Cartman and a small frozen Kenny.

I’m coping ok today. I can’t really do much of anything because of this nagging fatigue and I have no idea where it’s from. But I’m handling things well and my moods and anxiety are in check. I may have been a bit desperate half an hour ago but so far things are ok.

I am coping just fine this morning. Looking forward to the day.

So glad to hear this, @TunedOut! I hope this is a really good day for you!

Horrible due to the winter storm and family drama. I am ready for a vacation.

So far I'm coping well. I started taking Wellbutrin fairly recently and I'm very pleased with it so far.

I'm coping as best I can.

I didn’t do anything productive today but my moods and anxiety were in check and I felt much better then I have been feeling lately. So I think that’s good enough for today.

I've been pretty rough today. I'm trying to cope the best I can, however! Listening to music and trying to vent in a healthy way. It's really hard. I'm trying to keep it together, though. Here's hoping!

I'm doing okay right now. I've been up and down emotionally today a lot. I had a really nice convo with a friend tonight though and it made me happy.

I am feeling hopeful and grateful. It helps that I had a wonderful, restful sleep last night and just finished my first cup of coffee.

Not very well so far...but it's just a feeling...

This morning I woke up from an incredibly interesting dream. I think that's partly why I've been in a positive mood so far today.

My emotions have been all over the place for various reasons and it's just as well I am at work tomorrow as experience tells me I'll do better busy.
