How are you coping today? #4

Breaking Dawn · Oct 01, 2021 at 05:51 PM

I've actually managed to get a few things done today, so I am coping better today.

Buffy01 · Oct 02, 2021 at 06:23 PM

I been watching movies just to deal with my really bad day I been having for the past two days. I still can’t sleep.

Oct 03, 2021 at 07:38 AM

in general, I'm pretty fed up of watching my life being needlessly destroyed by others who think they know me but don't have a ****ing clue

I feel helpless too, not a lot I can really do about it- explained my situation, basically told to shut up, and that's that...

Just trying to get through the day today. Met my friend for coffee yesterday and felt pretty good all day, now having some struggles.

I’m just bored with recovery. I’m not too bad off to be sleeping all day. But I’m not well enough to get out of bed either. The pain is tough and my pain meds aren’t really helping and neither is my stuff for constipation.

Mountaindewed · Oct 04, 2021 at 04:35 PM

Today was better pain wise. Mood wise things were better too but I was more tired then usual. I’m trying to get something under control and I’ve had to take a lot of meds all day and it’s not helping. But I’m not panicking yet. Early this morning I felt kind of depressed and like I was being a burden and recovery was taking so long and there was still so much to get through. But I am ok now with these thoughts.

I went for a drive today and I sat on my patio.

Oct 05, 2021 at 04:02 AM

I'm not.

I didon't sleep, I don't have any plans, I don't feel good.. same as any other ****ing day.

I think the highlight of today is the fact that I'm wearing a halloween shirt. it has a skull on it.. it is pretty scary!.

I have gone all out for halloween this year, and it's great.

I'm having a bit of trouble. I'm stressed out about a delivery and all the things I have to do today. I'm trying to relax. What I really need is a nap.

Breaking Dawn · Oct 05, 2021 at 11:02 AM

Hi, everyone!

God bless you! I'm sorry for not posting sometimes. I want to but for some reason I can't. And I am missing you, so it doesn't make sense. At this moment I'm getting ready to go somewhere & I'm feeling anxious. But I'm determined to go. So I think that means I'm coping ok.

Mountaindewed · Oct 05, 2021 at 04:57 PM

I’m doing decently today. My feelings come and go. I stopped my pain meds which wasn’t a big deal and I’ve switched to Tylenol and I’m doing ok on that. The depression comes and goes. I took a shower which wore me out and I needed a nap. Right now I just took all my meds and I don’t feel terrible just not the bubbly sort of happy I get after taking my Geodon. I guess I’m more worn out then I realize I am. My anxiety has been lower since the surgery. I haven’t needed any extra Valium’s at all. But I haven’t been drinking caffeine today.

Mountaindewed · Oct 06, 2021 at 02:52 PM

I’m trying to handle things on my own today without pain meds. It’s been tough but I also haven’t been staying in bed all day. I’ve been moving around and I took a shower and opened some boxes and made some tea and got stuff from the garage. I think I need to scale things back a bit. I felt like I was dying for a couple hours because of the pain and I just now was able to take some Tylenol. I’ve been using the heating pad like crazy all day. But I haven’t been too needy. I haven’t asked my mom to go on a coffee run or a Walgreens run. I’ve been getting my own sodas from the garage instead of asking her to get them. I made my second cup of tea on my own. I am not drinking enough water so I need to work on that. I’m glad I can drink tea again though.

But I’m slowly getting there with my recovery. Today was just tough because I didn’t have any pain meds and I moved around more then usual. Mental health wise I was ok.

Half of me seems to be asleep.

Buffy01 · Oct 06, 2021 at 09:38 PM

I been watching a movie to keep myself busy and mind off of all the negative things going on in my life.

jrae · Oct 07, 2021 at 12:54 AM

i'm basically not.... i'm trying not to worry that just maybe the unthinkable might have happened (or is happening)!

i'm terrified about SO many things. and i'm doing what i shouldn't and pulling away/ not talking to anyone

Deilla · Oct 08, 2021 at 02:52 PM

I'm doing okay today. I've been journaling, posting on here, doing chores and playing games.

Mountaindewed · Oct 08, 2021 at 03:45 PM

I’ve been doing a lot better physically today. Pain wise I’ve been ok with just Tylenol. I haven’t needed the heating pad. I’m pretty nauseated but I’m not sure that’s surgery related. My anxiety has been pretty high because I’ve had a lot of caffeine to keep me awake. I didn’t leave my house but I moved around a lot. I got winded though and that’s why I had a lot of caffeine. Overall I’m doing well.

Breaking Dawn · Oct 08, 2021 at 04:03 PM

I have been watching tv & searching on the internet, & I had a nice meal..

Oct 09, 2021 at 11:18 AM

today is a day for emotional eating, (a lot of chocolate), back pain, and negative thoughts towards my life

Deilla · Oct 09, 2021 at 12:24 PM

I'm not coping well today. I did some stress-eating and I've been in bed most of the morning. I don't feel like doing anything. I'm very sad.
