How are you coping today? #6

Cooking my dogs some hamburger and then we'll go for a walk. It's very warm, so will be very short.

Right now I'm falling apart.

I think I'm doing pretty good right now.

I'm coping decently mood wise but anxiety wise I'm kinda a mess. I'm freaking out about monkey pox and ukraine when I should be more concerned with my own very real issues. My mom said me focusing on monkey pox and ukraine is a kinda defense like mechanism thing so I can avoid whats going on with myself. She says I need to get invovled in a book or something.

I been watching a lot of self-help videos and listening to mediations and I am journaling as well using some apps.

I think I do this too, your mom is wise.

I talked over my worries about my upcoming tests with my husband this morning while we were looking out to sea, I think looking at the sea helps calm me. He listened a lot and talked about his fears too and that helped. I felt better for it.

I'm really struggling with procrastination today.

Mountaindewed · May 20, 2022, 02:52 PM

I feel like I'm dying, my head and throat hurt so badly right now. I just took an advil which I'm not allowed to take because of my kidney issues. But the 2 tylenol I took 4 hours ago didn't do anything so I figured I'd rather risk nuking my kidneys and get rid of this headache then end up in the ER over it. Plus my 6 and 8 year old nephews are over for the weekend so I can't do much anyways about anything. I have one at home covid kit if necessary but I don't think its that.

Started really bad, but it's gone a little better. A little. I'm watching the movie Valerian, because it's visually gorgeous. Acting sucks, but who cares. My dog is sleeping near me, but he's been pretty good all day. I ate some junk food which made me feel better, but I'll pay for that tomorrow. No longer care, just relieved to feel a little (a very little) better right now.

I don't really know yet. I'm crying because my emotions keep hurting & I'm not sure why.

Listening to music this morning. It's been a few days. Music makes all the difference to my mood. My dogs and music are about all I need.

Mountaindewed · May 21, 2022, 02:22 PM

I didnt do too bad. My anxiety was off and on but I controlled it better then yesterday. Mainly I'm just worn out physically today and I didn't do much. I'm not in the pain I was in though but I'm still short of breath when I move around and I can still feel the swallowing thing but I'm getting used to it. overall today was better.

I do feel what I think you are saying. Music is like mathematical & spiritual, right? I mean that music has existed longer ago than us humans, so it's probably meant to be, & for good reasons? And our furry friends are so precious, they don't need an explanation.

Discombobulated · May 21, 2022, 04:05 PM

I totally agree about music, and animals too of course - so glad that’s helping!

@breakingdawn you are very wise!

I’m doing good today and got my chores done, spoke to a friend afterwards, just quiet and chill which suits me.

Friends are gifts to us from God.

I'm so glad you had that talk with your friend!

My anxiety about Ukraine and monkey pox seems to have calmed down. Meet The Press wasn't even on today because football was on. I am wiped of energy physically though and its been that way all day despite the caffeine I've had. Plus I've had some pain. I handled my emotions well and I didn't freak out over them or throw them onto my mom and ask for a lot of reassurance. I mostly just kept to myself and stayed calm. I am down in the dumps about my health but at least I didn't overeact today about anything.

Just trying to get through the day today. Not bad, not good, just is what it is. I've listened to some music and because it's a little warmer and we haven't done so lately, we took a longer walk today. My dog made the walk without issue and hasn't been too tired since we returned. Not going to complain about the day really. I *could*, but I won't.

Deilla · May 22, 2022, 05:36 PM

By chewing Nicorette gum. I wanted a cigarette but I haven't smoked in almost a year. So the gum helps.

I think I'm finally learning to read my body and know when something isn't right. So I don't have to freak out about my mental health getting crappy for no reason suddenly. Its hard being told as a teenager that its all in your head and its just anxiety. It makes it tough to be able to read yourself as an adult because you still believe those things you were told.

Mountaindewed · May 24, 2022, 12:43 PM

I guess I feel crappy because there is reasons for me to feel crappy? I slept fine but I've been unable to get out of bed due to lack of energy. I'm on my 3rd bottle of water so I'm not dehydrated. I drank a large coffee this morning which helped me be able to switch from lying in bed to sitting up in bed. The coffee messed with my anxiety a bit and everything is messing with my appetite. I did decide to cancel my trip next Thursday which is one less stress. Basically today was just not good. Mostly physically.

Mountaindewed · May 25, 2022, 02:06 PM

I'm still a lethargic mess. My anxiety was a bit high too. Its calming down though. I did ok today overall I think.

Breaking Dawn · May 25, 2022, 10:22 PM

I'm also a mess. I'm hearing scary sounds. Anyone here also hear weird sounds?

Yes all the time! The other night I had to keep unmuting my music because I was hearing werid stuff. I went to check it out after awhile and there was nothing. I still heard it so I slept with one ear bud off because I was creeped out
