How are you coping today? #4

Mountaindewed · Oct 09, 2021 at 03:36 PM

I was doing ok all day but then my sister was being weird and I haven’t had much to eat today. I just wasn’t hungry and I was eating high protein stuff when I did eat. So now I feel like I’m having one of my food restriction related meltdowns. Which means I need quick carbs. But I’m out of bread so idk.

My dumb no ED knowledge ex T told me I need to eat bread when I haven’t eaten and to be honest it does help.

I done just about everything I could do to turn my bad around this weekend. It started out great but then my plans were all cancel so going out to eat or doing something fun was cancel. A friend of mine has really hurt my feelings today. I felt really horrible, down, depressed, abandoned, hurt and there was nothing that I could do to feel better today.

I’m coping pretty good today. There’s been a good shift in my moods since the 1st.

I've been coping with Twitch.tv, playing games, doing chores and getting some exercise.

I'm so sorry, Buffy!!

I'm not coping very well at the moment. I'm pretty sad. And I'm bored. I guess I will try to journal.

Happy as a gopher in its hole soundly sleeping.

Sad. Lonely. Like my life continuously just falls apart and never really gets better no matter what I do or how hard I try. After a while you just get so exhausted.

Deilla · Oct 12, 2021 at 09:09 AM

By telling myself to relax, preparing and believing I can get it done. Yet, at the same time, if it doesn't happen, I have a backup plan.

Breaking Dawn · Oct 12, 2021 at 10:19 AM

I'm sort of doing ok.

bpforever1 · Oct 12, 2021 at 04:13 PM

I am tired but doing well. I can't say I am still happy since I feel pressure to survive on my own here. I shall survive, but the process is difficult. I have many tasks to do now- such is life!

I’m coping just fine today but I currently have a Tylenol resistant headache and I for some strange reason think a Valium will majorly help me. I know that’s just messed up thinking but I don’t know what else to do. But I mean, my anxiety is actually ok.

Could it be withdrawal symptoms from valium?

I thought I was the only one who got these. For some reason, eating apples helps. It sounds insane. I think it's a blood sugar thing.

Anxious wreck all day. Work continues to be a shitshow. I want to die. But I'm getting panic attacks too.

For me it’s bread that helps. I find it weird that it helps so much. But I think it’s just that carbs help with my anxiety. I need bread or something similar every day now to stay on track with things.

I don’t know. I had already taken my regular prescribed ones. But I did go almost 24 hours yesterday without taking one. I had taken one at 2PM on Monday and then I didn’t take one again until 1:30 yesterday afternoon. And I know not staying ahead of my anxiety isn’t helpful and I’ll sometimes need an extra one later in the night. I’m not sure if that’s considered a withdrawal or not.

But the Valium did help with the headache.

Deilla · Oct 13, 2021 at 09:32 AM

I'm coping by getting ready for a busy day. I am almost prepared. Soon I can sit back and relax until things happen.

Mountaindewed · Oct 13, 2021 at 04:26 PM

I’m doing good today. My mind was mostly distracted from that one thing. My moods were fine. My anxiety was a bit rough but I think it should have been. I can now finally cough without feeling like anything is going to fall out. Although it still hurts when I do. I haven’t exactly been following my doctors orders these last few days. But I feel ok so I guess I didn’t do any damage.

feel a bit depressed over a few things.

1- my OT assessment yesterday, (can't even get myself off my computer chair without a struggle, it really isn't looking good!)

2- I have to say goodbye to an old friend today, someone I've known for at least a couple of years. I made her a card and we're going to have a hug, but I seriously hate goodbyes.. I suppose I'm glad that hugs are allowed now. it's going to be a big one..
