How are you coping today? #6

Discombobulated · May 09, 2022 at 03:26 PM

I’m doing okay but there’s a lot going on at the moment. I’m taking time to relax when I can and trying not to worry over other things.

I coped well today. I'm tired now.

I've been sick with a stomach issue for 2 days. Its messing with my mood. I'm so sad.

I feel kinda stupid today. I had a CT scan for some shortness of breath and chest pain and they found a nodule on my thyroid and I knew it was there and I've been having a bit of trouble swallowing but I thought it was related to my transition and that I was growing an Adams apple. I guess it was just a bit of wishful thinking on my part since not having one is part of my dysphrioia and when I thought I was legit getting one I got excited and didn't pay any more attention to it. Now I just hope I don't need surgery to remove the nodule although I'm not sure what the options would be with the issues its causing me.

I listened to music & watched tv today.

I have noticed an overall big improvement in my mental health and I'm not sure what excatly happened to cause it to improve. I know I switched my shots to every week and I had that medical procedure last Wednesday that was supposed to make me feel better both physically and mental health wise. My sleep has also dramatically improved too since last Friday. As long as I don't stress too much about my thyroid issue or current events, I feel pretty good. I don't feel angry or ornery like I did a week before and my valium seems to be working pretty good for once. Almost like I got a different generic or something. I got it refilled a few days ago.

I'm sleep deprived and I've been mood and anxious all day and I can get this way this day of the week sometimes. I'm starting to feel better though thanks to getting my med a day early and an extra valium. Also eating some tuna and berries for dinner. Both super foods which always boost my moods when I feel like crap. My doctor got back and said what I am feeling is not the nodule on my thyroid. I don't know what the hell then because when I swallow I am legit feeling a bump. I hope they really do an xray like they said they would because it is stressing me out a lot. This guy is not my regular doctor hes a call in so he doesn't know me. Hopefully I get an answer by the end of tommorow.

I've been listening to some good music, & I've been having some good talks with my voices.

Discombobulated · May 13, 2022 at 09:39 AM

Doing okay, drinking ginger tea right now and trying not to stress out.

Mountaindewed · May 13, 2022 at 04:22 PM

I'm still sleep deprived and I've had med resistant anxiety all day which is a bit odd since I got my shot yesterday which normally stablizes my moods. I'm guessing its the lump in my throat and the swallowing issue but I got my ultrasound set up for Tuesday. My TV held up until 15 minutes ago when it started doing the in and out thing. I'm going to have to get a new TV which I can't afford. TV is the only thing that truly distracts me from my anxiety and right now I really need that distraction. At least I already took my melatonin when the TV started acting up. So I'm kinda getting tired.

Mountaindewed · May 14, 2022 at 04:24 PM

I don't think I did too bad. Well it could have been worse I suppose. I didn't do very good on the eating part of things. I ate enough but not throughout the day. I guess I did more of OMAD today. My anxiety was a mess most of the day but once I took tylenol I felt more stable. I'm almost wondering if I should maybe get tested for covid.

I've been trying to do better with my makeup. I feel as if I'm a little bit playing it super cool! Meaning I am not being as up-front about how attractive I am. I tried the now-a-days trend of putting contour on the face and took a few pictures. My face was so attractive. I love doing my makeup but I do have a little habit for putting it on. Thank the heaven's I tried something new to do as I age and mature.

Discombobulated · May 15, 2022 at 11:09 AM

I’ve just flopped this afternoon after work and ate chocolate which isn’t exactly healthy, but I’m okay and going to sort the family meal out now.

Mountaindewed · May 15, 2022 at 03:14 PM

I'm doing good today. I'm controlling everything. I was feeling pretty sick last night and so my mom went to Walgreens to get an at home covid test. I tested negative. I slept in unusually late this morning and I've been lethargic all day and just hanging around on the recliner. But mental health wise I feel ok.

Buffy01 · May 15, 2022 at 07:25 PM

I went for a walk today when the weather was still nice then I went and journal.

Discombobulated · May 17, 2022 at 01:44 PM

I’m doing okay but got some physical health niggles I’m trying not to obsess over. I’m going to bed soon as working early tomorrow and think I’ll watch a movie now.

Breaking Dawn · May 17, 2022 at 01:53 PM

I was doing poorly earlier today & then things improved a little bit. I'm coping ok at the moment.

Mountaindewed · May 17, 2022 at 04:11 PM

I did good today but now I'm in my early evening slump. I have therapy in the morning so if I try any funny bussiness she'll get pissed. So its best just to lay low and try to get some legit sleep. I realized I'm more comfortable leaving the house in jeans then I am in shorts. So I guess thats good to know.

Buffy01 · May 17, 2022 at 09:22 PM

I was feeling really good this morning and then by late afternoon I begin to feel really down.

Brego · May 18, 2022 at 01:24 PM

Playing with the cats and writing in a journal, as well as going online today.
