Today has been really horrible. Everything I was gang up on was something I never did but what my sister and niece and her boyfriend did. I feel really down today.

I've been reading & posting here while enjoying my coffee, & asking questions on the internet. I think I'm coping pretty good right now.

I'm coping by playing my game and taking breaks to deal with chores.

The physical loneliness is depressing. I actually haven't had a meaningful conversation with a real life person in 7 months. It's my own doing though, but on the whole I'm actually coping quite well (I think).

Will be making breakfast soon and getting ready for my workday. I am only working 3 days a week (usually 7 AM to 2 PM). Still have so much to learn (especially all the names of the people I see and serve), my new job is still a challenge for my body and brain.

Not too good at the moment. Pretty sure my time is running out.

Edit: Had a nap with my dogs. Then a nice walk with them and some lunch. Finally got some errands completed.

I’m trying my best today. I’m still just hanging on. I took 20 mil extra of one of my meds and I think I’ll take another Valium. I’ve been a bit needy today with my mom. I asked to go to the bakery this morning. But then I was ok and I had to go for a Covid test and I asked to go to Sonic on our way back. I just feel like a burden on her and I feel like I’m taking up her time and spending her money. I feel like it may get worse after Friday when recovery will take 6 weeks and I’ll have weight restrictions and stuff. But I am going to try very hard for that not to happen.

But honestly I’ve been a complete asshole and even though I have a lot going on with the sudden termination of my therapist and figuring out the new one does not mean I can just run the house hold the way I’ve been doing.

Yeah I need a 4th Valium for sure and a lot of water. I need to know just how much money I owe my mom so I can pay her back. Then my grocery shopping this weekend will all be delivery or pickup so it’s simple.

I slept well last night for the first time in weeks. Therefore I didn’t need a bunch of caffeine this morning which would have made me anxious. And then I didn’t need to take my geodons early or double up on any Valium. So I guess I figured out it all comes down to sleep for me. And I wish I could figure out how to sleep better all the time.

I stayed in bed with my cats most of the day. Today has not been a good day.

I'm waiting for my lesson to start. I usually stay awake at night these days since I sleep during the day. I feel ok. I just have a few hours to teach today. I am happy overall but have a lot more classes now. I should be happier now but the stress of doing all of my administrative tasks is getting to me at times. I spend way too much time on them, but it is necessary since I write my next lesson plans in these messages I send to my students. I should be going insane but am calm about it. I have to survive. I will take my medication after this and knock myself out. I feel some stress but am matter of factly just dealing with it. Such is life. I have to find ways to pay my high taxes. I could move away from here, but it is the same no matter where I live here in this country. I like where I live so I can't complain. I hope to survive and need to work more. But, for now, I will go with the flow and be stable. My health is a priority, not money. I am surprised that I have done as much I am doing now. I am doing well. I won't divulge my problems to anybody. So, life continues and is like climbing a mountain. Hopefully, I will reach the summit one day, then I can cruise for a while.

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...

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.

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'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.

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.
