How are you coping today? #4

Deilla · Apr 19, 2021 at 04:20 AM

I'm having a difficult time. I'm not sleeping well and I'm stressed out about my chores for the day. My sink is clogged and I have to call maintenance. That is very stressful for me. My place is a mess and I don't like people in my home.

I'm trying to do my best. I feel too tired to do anything but I'm planning & hoping to do some things today that need to be done. It sounds so simple.

I've been having a lot of shame attacks today, like sudden assaults on my mind and nervous system. Because a lot of inner murkiness was stired up today (I won't go into the 'why') but it'll settle back down again after a night's sleep. Otherwise, I seem to be coping okay.

Feeling good today. I choose to feel fine with everything as is.

. Happy to be with h today and grateful for that.

It is difficult but I am trying.

I've had a rollercoaster day, like so many of my days. Didn't sleep well, but got up in a fairly good mood, thanks to some snuggling with my pups. After an hour or so, my mood swung negative and stayed there until just a few minutes ago, when things started to feel a little better. I'm dealing with terrible health anxiety lately. I promised my pups that I would live long enough to take care of them until their final days. Since that promise, I've been certain I was going to die of about a dozen different things. My overall anxiety has been terrible since I made that promise.

I've been watching some YT videos just now that have helped me calm down and recognize that the health anxiety does have an origin and a reason why I feel that way. Hopefully, I can find a way out because it's been 20 years of feeling like this and I'm just too old to keep living like this. The video reminded me that it's easy to stay stuck in anxiety because you become comfortable with it. So, while I know what I need to do, doing it is very difficult.

Not well. Switching from high anxiety and sudden depression.

I'm doing well today.

I'm reading a book about neuroscience and mindfulness- it's fascinating. I find neuroscience so very interesting and this book is explaining the 'whys' of mindfulness and how it works.

I realise I have had patterns when I neglect mindfulness and that's when my anxiety spirals. This is reminding me why I really must devote regular time to it.

I find neuroscience fascinating too and I’m working on mindfulness. What is the name of the book?

Deilla · Apr 20, 2021 at 03:35 AM

I’m okay today. I’m doing chores until I feel sleepy. It’s stressful but living in filth is worse. So I’ll keep pushing.

The Neuroscience of Mindfulness: The Astonishing Science behind How Everyday Hobbies Help You Relax by Stan Rodski

I have it on loan via my library app.

I'm not.

pretty much the usual... sat here wondering the point to my life

12:40 PM

I'm a tiny bit better today. Didn't sleep well, but had more snuggles with my pups. I even said during the snuggles, "I'm so happy right now." And I was. Things have been a little better this morning but anxiety has a way of asserting itself and I can sense the push backwards. I started a new thread under Anxiety to give further details to my issues. If any of you are interested, no pressure at all. Just wanted to see about getting help.

Today is going to be another cold snowy day, so we'll see how it goes. I don't like the really cold and gloomy. Chills are starting and I don't know if it's the weather or the anxiety.

Hope everyone has a better day.

I guess today was a bit much. I worked for 12hrs and went for a bike ride for 45min after. Once again I saw someone standing on the edge of my vision, just standing, looking at me. When I look, the person is gone. I really don't know how to deal with this. It happens quite often at the moment. Not always the same szenario, but every day or every other day I remember something and it takes me a minute or so to realize whether it really happened or was a dream.

TishaBuv · Apr 20, 2021 at 03:28 PM

I’m being gentle with myself, and put on a nice top despite feeling so down.

Buffy01 · Apr 20, 2021 at 06:05 PM

I decide to do some more cleaning today as a way to deal with the emotional abuse I been going through these past two days by my sister who been bullying me since I can remember.

Hope you get more time to relax today. Too much computer time (do you work on a computer?) can mess with your eyes/vision

Plumbing fun today

Toilet was overflowing and realized it too late. Sopped up the water with numerous towels then the washing machine suddenly stopped. My H is investigating the washing machine problem...

All is not lost

I hear the washing machine going.

Apparently, the lid and buttons have to be wiggled when it stops. My toilet and washing machine require extra supervision....
