Thanks @Discombobulated. She's helping a lot. She's been spending time in the evening on the couch beside me. That helps a lot with the loneliness.

I've been reading a lot of really helpful information on the internet regarding my problems.

I so understand that. I hope things are OK.

I'm trying to cope with the taking one thing at a time thing. Although my sister and I are both going through biopsies. Mine is a thyroid. Hers is a stomach. Mine was done on Friday at a hospital. Hers is in a few days but at the doctors office. I am super relived hers seems less urgent since she is pregnant. But it also has me wondering if mine is kind of serious. Especially since I heard them say on Friday they had thyroid biopises both this week and next week. So I'm thinking maybe mine was kinda urgent or I would have been bumped back 3 weeks? I don't know. This is excatly what I shouldn't be doing and what my therapist and I am trying to work on.

Mornings can be the toughest part of the day for me. Today was one of the difficult ones. Lots of strange new pain, and it seems to take me forever to wake up these days.

Remaining flexible in our thinking is just about all I can do on days like this. I've mostly learned to roll with what life throws at me. But today was difficult.

Maybe it's the full moon?

I'm trying to cope by making my profiles better than ever before since I believe I need to be more like now and not before. I'm going to cope by not online dating at all. This is probably going to open the doors to friendships and my family.

I'm having my first cup of coffee, which helps lift me from my sadness. And I'm reading here, re: other people's problems, which takes my mind off of my own.

I didn't sleep well last night and the heat was getting to me. My moods and anxiety were ok but I was off physically. After a couple hours nap I was fine.

My family has been very rude to me lately. I am trying to find new ways to ignored them.

Buffy01 · Jun 15, 2022 at 12:08 PM

I have been miserable because I have poison ivy.

That really is miserable. I had that before, & mosquito bites. I hope you feel better soon, Buffy.

I coped decently today. I mean at least regarding controlling my anxiety. Well for the most part. I'm not sure whats up with these sudden mid morning 1.5 hour naps but my therapist thinks they help me catch up on sleep. I've needed a lot of zofran and tylenol which have helped, and I haven't eaten much but as long as mental health wise I'm not in rut I'm ok.

Discombobulated · Jun 16, 2022 at 08:15 AM

After an uncomfortable stressful day yesterday with medical procedures I feel wonderful today like a weight’s been lifted. The staff who looked after me were so caring and that helped. All done now and I’m okay.

CANDC · Jun 16, 2022 at 10:07 AM

Discombobulated glad you are feeling okay. Have a great day!

Up and down as usual, but coping with music and walks with my dog. It's not hot hot yet, so not so bad to be outside.

Discombobulated · Jun 17, 2022 at 02:27 PM

A regular ordinary kind of day, I pottered on, made a cake which didn’t turn out too good - a caketastrophe.

Caketastrophe!!

Was super angry most of the morning, but that's clearing up. I got errands run and now I'm at home, so I'll listen to music, and later I'll cook diner.

There’s quite a bit of that caketastrophe left over today, hmm….

It’s been a challenging day today as someone close to me needed support, hopefully I managed to do that okay.
