I'm not coping well. It's in the evening and there's nothing to do. There's no one to talk to. I'm all alone. The only thing I can do is sleep. It's so depressing.

Going to take my dogs for their last walk an hour earlier than normal and then go to bed. I'm a little better now, but this day has sucked more than any in the last couple of months.

Things are better today. The little bit of extra sleep helped, and I also took a shower before bed. Coping today with more work on organizing my life. Also need to start doing a deep clean on my place, so there's nothing left to do when I leave.

I just watched TV from 5:30AM-4PM. I don't know whats wrong with me just that I have not been feeling good for awhile and I have pain that sometimes is helped by tylenol and sometimes is not and a number of my blood levels are off. But my doctor did not respond yet. But the other doctor, a specialist who I mainly see, took a few days to respond when 2 of my levels were at heart attack/stroke level. So I guess I just have to wait. Covid sucks since it pushes regular stuff back.

I was having a tough time today. Mainly with my anxiety. So I did something I shouldnt have done.
Possible trigger:

When my anxiety acts up (like it is now) I just try to get through each minute. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to die today, so I'll keep myself occupied with some funny TV and maybe an early bedtime. Snuggles with my dogs will also help.

Felling sad, a bit depressed. Life is just not what I wanted or planned on and I'm getting tired of trying.

One foot in front of the other, one step at a time, one day at a time. Anything else stokes my anxiety and I can't deal with that at the moment. Tired and frustrated by my life.

I enjoyed seeing my friends today but I’m feeling anxious now particularly about one of them, I think though that I’m just in worry mode and this is the culprit. I’m worrying about pretty much everything and everyone these days.
I’m distracting this evening and going to clean the bathroom then watch some TV. |

This morning I got my anxiety under control and something happened yesterday that made me confident that I could return to work. This place I want to apply at is about 10 hours a week so it would be good for me who hasn't worked in almost 2 years. I don't know the pay but it would be enough to let me keep seeing my therapist every week and pay off my extra expenses but its not too much so that I would lose my insurance which is really really important.
But then my doctors office called with some news and the stuff I was feeling yesterday came back and I feel like I should hold off once again on going back because of my health issues. Its just frustrating that legit stuff keeps pushing this back. But at least I have the confidence to go back now. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

Unsure what I'm feeling because too much is happening. I'm stressed, but excited. Trying to figure out how to accomplish what I want to accomplish. Life is so full of choices and that is a weak area of mine. I'm a person full of regrets. based on my previous choices.

I'm doing ok today. I'm still not feeling well but I've really been pushing the fluids, gatorade and water, and I've been taking tylenol and it does seem to be making a diffrence. My anxiety also has not been too bad and therapy went well. Basically today I just went to threapy and the grocery store then I rested all day.

Staying inside out of the snow and cold. Listening to music and dealing with computer files. Feeling OK so far.

I'm pretty anxious right now after doing well all day but I don't know whats up so I'm guessing I may just need my last med early tonight. I coped well all day though.

Once I decided to take the risk and toss out the visteril in exchange for an ativan and 2 valium a day my frustration about my med situation greatly decreased. I am however getting that headache nausea thing again but I am hoping the tylenol I just took kicks in. The fact I did not need pain meds until late in the afternoon makes me think I am getting better physically.

Listening to an "Alternative Folk" playlist and keeping on my file organizing. Weather is warmer so the dogs and I had a nice long walk this morning and may again this afternoon. Good lunch too. Not a terrible day.

I was finally just like F it and I went back to my regular dose of valium after several painful days of being down one. I'll have my moment with my Pdocs office in a few days. Getting back on the normal dose cleared up my mental health so now my physical issues are just more obvious. I know I didn't cope the greatest though. But valium is a tough med to go down from 3 to even 2 a day.
