I'm coping well. I stayed busy with fun activities and when I didn't feel well, I took a nap. I've had 3 naps so far. I feel good this evening. I might play some games.

Very sad though still tough, but fighting the battles. One by one.

Yesterday afternoon was tough. The criticism of someone in my life had me reacting to it with criticism and negativity. It made me feel depressed and that I was practicing the same behaviors which I abhor. It did make them back off though but I felt dragged down by it. I usually cope by detachment which does affect how well I respond to each comment but I also have to be careful how I respond--most of my responses are rarely good enough. So I usually talk much less now. I want to talk less and just do things instead (work). I need to stop thinking about this relationship. Overthinking it isn't good. I will try to leave yesterday's interaction behind. It is a new day!

I am so annoyed and triggered right now.

Possible trigger:
when are people going to learn that he is dead and writing his name isn't going to change that fact. ugg! |

I'm not very motivated this morning. I have to go through my morning routine and start on some chores. I'm just not in the mood. But I will try to put one foot in front of the other.

Feeling renewed hope. My fears that he is struggling have come to light and are reality. Call it mother’s intuition and the refusal to believe he would have been so hurtful if not struggling himself. I hope it is only growing pains and all will resolve well. I am so thankful for the way this is starting to heal for us!

I’m coping pretty well. I just got hit with a lot of stuff an hour ago that I’m trying to process. Plus I’m still thinking about the usual things. It will pass I know it. My mom said it was kind of awkward that I was friends with all the women in their 60’s-90’s several years ago at a volunteer job. I felt like they really did like me and if they found it weird they never said anything. I just find talking to older people a lot easier. Even at work I’d talk to the older coworkers mainly and I’d get frustrated by the people my own age who did nothing but make jokes behind peoples back and talk about substances. But now when I go back to work it may be completely the other way around.

I'm having a difficult time. Sleep usually resets me. But I still feel depressed after several hours of trying to sleep.

Morning is a period of reflection, reading and viewing uplifting information, planning and posting on here for me. Saw this Youtube video: Productive Daily Routine 2021 | entrepreneur - inspired by Benjamin Franklin - YouTube. In it, she speaks about Benjamin Franklin's 13 virtues. I really admire Benjamin Franklin, he accomplished so many good things in his life. His 13 virtues are worthy goals; they are: temperance, silence, order, resolution, frugality, industry, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, tranquility, chastity and humility. I her idea (which comes from Franklin) of focusing on three resolutions (and mine all come back to one of the thirteen virtues) and then reflecting on whether or not I accomplished it at the end of the day. I already focus on what I want to accomplish during the day in the morning but tying those goals to a virtue is a good way to think about it. Looking back on my day at the end of the day to think about my accomplishments/if I was virtuous is not a daily habit but I will try it. I currently read every evening before I go to bed but I can also look at my daily calendar/planner (will write at least one resolution it for the day) and evaluate if I kept it. I also find the short Derek Prince videos very uplifting. This one ties in with having daily goals (like saying only encouraging things to others, not snacking between meals, etc.): Faithful in Little Things 02/2 - YouTube

I am sure they did like you. It would be strange if we only mixed with people our own age our whole lives. It would be kind of narrow. One of my closest friends is 82, I am in my 40s, we just get along really well and have lots in common although we've had very different life experiences. I also have a young friend with young children (my family is grown now) who I really like and admire. I think you should be friends with whoever you like! |

I saw a doctor today and I'm glad I did.
It's sunny here today. At home eating now. I was starving. And I took a shower. |
