How are you coping today? #4

Looks like a new one of these is started when the previous gets to about 1000. Hopefully I'm not jumping over some protocol for this new thread.

How are you coping today? #3

Having a very difficult time, I am doing my best to help to provide for my family. But I am overwhelmed at times and I have to go out and walk and make jokes and force myself to enjoy a day.

I’m sorry that you are going through a difficult time. It will get better again.

Sometime people just feel overwhelmed. It is good to laugh at yourself.

It didn't start out being a particularly good day. I had gotten woken up about 2am because of some pretty intense pain that took a couple hours to subside. But got some decent sleep before and after. I've been eating oatmeal for breakfast for going on 6 months. Today I was just sick of that and in the mood for something different. So, I went out to pick up bagel and coffee. I haven't been to this place in a year. Something going on in my thinking caused me to drive into the place and then drive out, without stopping. I was almost back home when I got myself to stop and go back. So much doubt about my life and situation. But I got breakfast and it was really, really good and totally worth it. I'm feeling quite a bit calmer now and not as down as Sundays tend to be for me. Hoping to turn it around and have a good day. I feel like I deserve one.

Hope you all have a good day and week ahead.

I been feeling really depressed and down a lot lately. Many of my coping skills aren’t working as well as I had hope for.

I’m sore that you woke up in some pain and couldn’t sleep. Take it easy on yourself.

Slept well and feeling active this morning piddling around the kitchen and doing laundry. Have plans to do more housework today if I continue to feel this way....

Excellent. It good to sleep well and feel active and motivated.

Deilla · Apr 12, 2021 at 08:15 AM

I don't feel like doing much today. I guess I am coping by wanting to take the day off.

Breaking Dawn · Apr 12, 2021 at 08:46 AM

I'm taking it easy & one step at a time.

Taking time off is always good.

Yesterday I think I had a mini burnout. For months I've been reading and watching and thinking about topics to improve myself and lift me out of my ennui. But yesterday it all felt overwhelming and like I was spinning my wheels, so I took the day off from all of it. I returned a number of books to the eLibrary, unsubscribed to a bunch of YT channels. You know, overreacted. I did sleep a little better last night, so I'm hoping today will be better. I know that the only way out of all of this, is to make some pretty big changes. I'm just afraid to make them. I'm unhappy, but I'm comfortable. Not a great way to go through life.

That is understandable. We all go through burnout at some point in their life. Sometime declutter what is not important on their life anymore is a great way to feel better.

I coping by journaling this morning.

Breaking Dawn · Apr 13, 2021 at 09:21 AM

I'm coping pretty well so far today. I have a couple of goals I hope to accomplish.

Apr 13, 2021 at 09:47 AM

Possible trigger:

some suicidal feelings and depression
