I'm not coping well. I tried to go to the ER last night. The wait was over 3 hours. I just left. My AC is out. The maintenance people can't fix it until Monday.

Doing okay. I downloaded an app which lets you know if you're deficient in certain nutrients by way of logging everything you eat - I went vegetarian a few months ago so I want to make sure my diet is okay. Except it measures calories too and by 3pm I was past mine for the day lol! I hadn't ate that much I thought and I'm certainly not overweight. Anyhow I deleted that app - I had an eating disorder years ago and no way am I taking a chance that will come back! Maybe some folk could use this healthily but not me!

Apart from that craziness I'm okay!

A little bit better at the moment.

Feeling super down, part of it is pms, the rest of it is work, family, relationship.

I’m trying but it’s tough today. I most likely have selective mutism. I can only talk to my mom, my therapist, and sometimes my brother. The same people I communicate through text with, I cannot talk to them in person. This includes close family members like my aunt and my uncle. I don’t even talk to my sister much anymore. I can work a retail job but not customer service related. I mostly have worked with 5-6 other people in a small department. When I get upset it’s always through text or email. When I am upset in person I just get quite. But also when I’m happy and sad I don’t show emotion. I know I have emotions. But it’s tough to physically show them to people except my mom. I am a strong believer in actions instead of words. Because for me it’s a literal thing. So I just do a good job at work or I hang out with people even if I don’t talk with them to show I do like them. Or I send nice texts to family members so they know I don’t hate them.

I’m trying to cope today but not really succeeding.

It has been a struggle for the whole time. Except, previously I prostituted myself and I deserve real love.

Are you talking about your husband?

Having ended two relationships and now being stuck in one I don’t like , I would say it’s easier to be married then divorced . Separation is preferable to divorce. My ex fiancé wouldn’t let me therapeutically separate while he worked his stuff out so the relationship died. I regret divorcing my husband but at the time I had enough and nowhere to go so I asked him to go. Men require sexual intimacy so whether you’re married, engaged or dating , it’s part of the package .

I'm ok. I was sort of depressed today and was online a lot. I signed up for online dating a few days ago. Match. Its going so much better than the free sites. Someone wants to,meet me and another guy I just started talking to is into meditation and Buddhism like me. I've been a bit too into being online today. But maybe its a way of coping.

Mountaindewed · May 23, 2021 at 02:53 PM

Today is better. My overall mental and physical health is better then it was yesterday.

May 23, 2021 at 03:08 PM

I'm feeling better today too. Meditation group was really nice and we chatted longer afterward. I called my Aunt in a nursing home to chat with her, and got to talk to a friend, too. I did my laundry and some dishes.

Breaking Dawn · May 23, 2021 at 03:17 PM

I feel a little bit better today. I'm trying to stay positive.

modestlychee6463 · May 23, 2021 at 10:26 PM

I'm feeling better today. It was a bit sunny and I was able to spend some time outside.

leomama · May 23, 2021 at 10:27 PM

It’s my day off which is always a good thing.

I’m a ****ing hot mess. I’ve been bawling my eyes out since I left work half an hours ago. I tried calling the crisis line but they said there were people ahead of me and would I mind waiting. **** yes I mind. This job has sucked everything out of me— my wrists hurt from the motions i have to do. Every Sunday is bad but today was really horrible— everything was breaking down and we were ridiculously busy. At the end of night I made a mistake that no one on my shift knows how to fix. I’m sorry, I was tired and frazzled and in pain and putting out fires left and right and I made a stupid mistake. I’m not staying at this job. I hate it and it is making me miserable.

I have a doctor's appointment today and things I have to do. So I put a to-do list together. That's how I'm coping. I'm just going through the list and I'm drinking iced coffee to cope.

TunedOut · 05:07 AM

Grateful that I had quality sleep last night and that coffee in the morning tastes so good.

I have one class, hopefully I have work when I want to work (it has been on and off lately for my grading job), an online exercise/rehab the VA provides to cancer survivors (it helps with stretching and working my arms and chest) and someone I know is having their B-day today. I hope they feel better for their B-day.

Oops, I just looked, the online class I will teach is tomorrow, not today.

Mountaindewed · May 24, 2021 at 03:58 PM

I’m doing good today. My self esteem is a bit low though. I just shaved for the second time. Last time my face hurt so badly and I was in pain for a couple days. Now I had no issue. I was using soap the first time but today I bought the most expensive sensitive skin foam gel I could find at Walgreens. I plan on getting my haircut tomorrow. I’m hoping both will help with my self esteem. I wish I could grow a beard but I can only grow a bit of facial hair and it’s not growing in some spots. I don’t know how to get it the way I want it too look. I’m hoping if I keep shaving it and letting it grow again it will come in fuller and darker.

But yeah things were rough on a personal level today. Besides that and some anxiety my mental health was ok. My physical health was iffy for a bit but I feel better now.

But I’m coping good.
