How are you coping today? #4

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I'm sort of doing ok.

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.
