Emailed the social worker to try and get some perspective because I’m never sure how proportional my anxiety is; I know it’s mostly my job to soothe that worrying, it’s just difficult finding the right tools sometimes. The tidal waves of emotion have been harder to bear than expected. But I will find some healthy distractions for the rest of the day, now!

I coped ok today. I got out of my house and I ate much better then yesterday. I didnt take any extra valium. I also bought fruit for once. I didn't really stress over anything. I do think I went a bit overboard on Christmas presents for my family. So I have some slight money concerns right now. But hopefully things work out.

I've been coping pretty well most of the time since yesterday.

I’m not in great shape today. I’m catastrophising (not sure that’s even a word) and feeling easily stressed. There’s some outside influences on this but also internal, tonight I’m going to try to calm down and neutralise my thoughts.

Not well. My father has been ignoring the whole family for the past week. He had a discussion with me and my sister today and said that he felt like we acted like traitors last week because he provides everything for us but we didn't want to go oout with him last week hence why he is mad. he also said that we are always doing things for and with other people but not with him and he will now be keeping score of everything that we do. I usually say yes to him when he wants to do things lately I've been hanging out with himself because he has deeply hurt my feelings over the last few years I can't say that to him now because he is still mad at us. I have a thing that I was supposed to do with him tomorrow a charity thing for his company I don't think I can do it because I just feel like I'm going to get yelled at and will not have the room to breakdown and cry about it but I know if I don't go he will be very upset because I have another thing I have to do for my aunt on sunday and he will definetly be keeping score of that. currently sitting on the floor crying. don't know what to do do not want to resort to unhealthy measures.

I'm switching back & forth between internet & tv. And I'm drinking coffee to lift my mood.

I'm coping lately by taking time to rest and doing what I need to do with lots of breaks in between. I'm sorry I haven't been on here or online, for that matter. I've been struggling with my eyesight (I think it's dry eye), as well as chronic fatigue. So rest is my only coping. Sometimes I dissociate to cope, but that's more automatic and part of my disorder, which gets hard to manage at times.

I feel diffrently today in a good way. Like I had a med increase or something. But all I did was take a zofran yesterday morning and start a new OTC sleep med last night. So idk. I ate pretty healthy including fruit and I had a lot of unsweetened tea too which is supposed to make you feel good.

I'm coping by doing self-soothing practices from DBT.

I was really preoccupied all day with something that I am still not sure what is going on. I also had some strange headache nausea phantom smell thing that was tough to deal with. Right now I feel decent.

I need to sleep soon. I'm super fatigued and my eyes are blurry and now stinging. I don't know what is wrong with me. I want to find energy to do things around the apartment, but I'm too tired.

Thank you @Breaking Dawn

I'm probably going to return to sleep, but at least I had a few hours.

I woke up like 3 or 4 hours later to do laundry and dishes.

I'm now exhausted again.

I coped decently but tonight may be a 4th valium sort of night. Although I'll see if I can make it until I can take my melatonin that kind of acts as a sedative. Its helped me cut out my vistril and has helped out in general with my nightime anxiety.

I did some mild exercise today and did some self help video and some journaling as well as some cleaning. I was trying to keep myself busy.

I'm a little bit nervous right now but I'm planning certain things that I feel are important, & if I succeed I think the nervous feeling will go away.
