How are you coping today? #6

Today hasn't been too bad I guess. I got a lot of uninteruppted sleep. I got out of the house twice. I rarely leave my house to go shopping at all. The first time I had a lot of anxiety. The second time I had no anxiety. I got my shopping completed. I guess I just don't feel very good physically today. I feel off. I have a call into my doctor but she hasn't responded back yet.

I think I’m coping okay today. Work wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but it was still bad. Mondays be like that & our office is chronically understaffed lately.

I'm doing ok today. I kind of want to quit therapy though. I just don't think she's helping. I mean, its not hurting either. I just find it useless. I think a mentor who would take me out into the community to help me deal with my anxiety of public places is more of what I need. I'm not sure though that my pdoc or my endocronolgist would agree that I don't need therapy.

I feel like I coped a little better today than I did yesterday at work. I was up in the night stewing about some stuff that happened and those negative feelings motivated me to look out for myself more & not be so codependent with my coworkers. Plus it was no longer Monday, so that helped.

my bordom level is about a 90 out of 10

I did all that I needed to do this morning (write my shopping list, write my weekly menu), and have nothing at all to do for the rest of the day

I'm having takeout pizza though, and that should be yummy. I know my tummy is ready for it..

Thank you. I am coping a little better right now. I fulfilled a goal, & I had a grilled cheese on rye & a boiled egg wiith spicy brown mustard. I'm now waiting for a favorite tv program.

I’m doing okay on a personal level, supporting my mum mostly by phone as she looks after my dear dad who is unwell with the horrible covid.

I look at the wider state of the world and I just don’t understand it any more. It seems the older I get the less I know. Maybe the answer is not to watch news.

My moods and depression were ok today. My anxiety needs some work but I'm feeling very sick to my stomach so I'm not sure its totally just anxiety. Food wise things were bad. But again it was more physical and med related.

Coping??

I'm just taking things one moment at a time. Theres stuff going on but I'm just trying to stay present and focus on the right now. Overall I don't feel terrible today, just a bit achy and kinda nervous about my sister.

I hear you. I am torn between not watching the news to keep insulated and wanting to be aware of what is happening in the world. Maybe I am going to have to go to the good news site more often
Here is one with not all good news but better

I can't cope!!! Another panic attack!!

I ate really badly while my mom was gone for 36 hours. Like mostly raw zucchni and celery sticks. I think she noticed based on all the untouched food that was left. I don't know if she is concerned or not. Maybe she is just tired. I don't know if this is getting out of hand or not. Its not like I was really all that hungry anyways. And when I was hungry it was just for the vegetables. I'm on both topamax and another med that causes loss of appetite. The new one can also make me tired and not motivated to do anything. I did however put my phone away in another room for a couple hours so I could read my book and it worked.

I'm doing better than I thought I would. I've been working on changing my sleep routine, and we all know, I'm sure, that this can lead to gargantuan struggles. I've even been badly set-back by attempting this, more than once.

But it appears I am finally prevailing over it. I'm even enjoying myself.

I’m doing okay, feeling more chilled out now my parents seem to be improving with their covid.

Very well. I was able to shut down the thoughts last night and get some sleep.

Not well. More anxiety. I can't do this!

I did pretty good today. I needed a nap shortly after I got out of the shower for some reason so I just crashed on the couch from 7-7:30. Then I felt fine. I went to Walmart without an issue. Then I got anxious and overwhelmed and realized it was heat related so I chugged a 12oz gatorade and legit started drinking water and then I was fine. I ate today but I skipped dinner. I have therapy in the morning and I don't know what to expect but I'm trying not to focus on it

So I did fine today.

I'm using Radical Acceptance from DBT today.

I didn't do the best because I was sleep deprived. I managed though to be functional at least until therapy was over and then I've been in bed ever since. My eating has been fine. I haven't had much soda so I've been able to eat substanional things all day. Mainly my issue is that I'm just very tired. My agoraphobia is kinda getting bad even though hardly any one even glances at me. I wonder if I do need to bring this up with my pdoc even though I'm so anti meds.

I’m feeling anxious tonight about what is happening in my country politically- it’s so ridiculous it might be funny if it weren’t so deadly serious. It’s the darkest time I’ve ever seen in politics.

I can’t influence what is happening though and trying to remind myself that. Just got to have hope that decency and justice will prevail.

Took a break to go interview at a job. I know, I know. I added no stress to my plate and it was a really good experience to get out there for this reason.

My sister best friend has really hurt my feeling today when I asked a simple question. I tried to ignore the rude treatment. I apologized for any rudeness on my end that had upset her even though my sister friend should have apologized to me.

I’ve been feeling jittered by the political situation here and more anxiety than usual but trying to think positively about the future. It’s been a bright sunny day here, I swam in the morning and this evening I felt most at peace watering the yard.

I did good today. I actually had the TV on instead of just posting on here all day. I also organized my mess in the garage and it looks a ton better. My agoraphobia is really bad. I'm getting really scared to leave my house. Although I do feel confident I can go back to work once the name change is taken care of and once my vacation is over. I am looking forward to my vacation in about a month

I wasn't very hungry today but I did eat. I'm wondering if I just can't taste a lot of food for some reason. I just haven't liked food lately. Everything I eat just doesn't taste good to me except for soda. I know the meds I'm on can change my senses. Its not really concerning me but its like I don't want my life to go down the drain before I'm 30.
