Wow, good for you! That's better than I can do so much of the time.

I didn't do too badly today. Last night I found out my level is pretty high. Which is why I've been so angry and irritated. I knew I didn't just get pissed off all of a sudden for no reason. I figured my blood work was probably pretty off. I'm waiting to hear back from the specialist I see who does this stuff on what to do. I made it out of the house again to lunch and I wasn't as paranoid or very anxious. I am off physically still. Mainly just tired at the moment. Still more stuff my medical doctor can tell me what to do about. I have my second therapy appointment in the morning and I hope it goes well.

I’m doing as okay as possible, I’ve had a lot to deal with and more responsibility to take, I’ve been stressed and worried about this but I’m coping okay with it. I’m sure giving myself a lot of leeway and understanding is the reason I’m keeping as calm as possible.

Woke up around 3 am and the day hasn't really started yet. But I hope it goes ok.

My sleep is rocky and messed up, so and I. Not coping well with little and inconsistent sleep.

I am not coping as well as I could today. I let my annoyance get the better of me this afternoon at work. Oh well, everyone has their limit!

I’m coping okay, I had a great meet up with a relative and talked a lot of important things through with her, also spent time with her gorgeous puppy which was the best therapy ever.

Breaking Dawn · Jul 23, 2022 at 07:51 AM

I feel a tiny bit stronger, so far today. I'm hoping & wishing that I can do better today.

Mountaindewed · Jul 23, 2022 at 01:10 PM

I'm coping well but I'm not drinking enough water and I'm showing all the classic signs of dehydration so I'm trying to drink water when I really just want to lie down for the rest of the day.

I have been in tears yesterday when I started feeling really down all before my brother called me and chewed me out for things that were beyond my control before my sister came home and chewed me out again. I was so hurt yesterday even though I pop in some movies to try to help me feel better.

the usual depression and emptyness.

nothing planned.

Mountaindewed · Jul 27, 2022 at 04:53 PM

I did stuff but I don't think I tried my best. The doctors appointment was just useless. It wasn't anything she couldn't tell me over the phone. I had therapy but I didn't try. My food sensitvy test came back and as I suspected the foods that are making me sick I am senstive to. I really like these things but its just not worth getting into so much pain over them. I didn't eat much even though I told my therapist I would. I just do not have the energy. Its almost like I am getting physically sick or something. My anxiety is still down but I just feel drained physically once again.

I am not doing great. But there are up moments.

I'm coping okay.
I volunteered today. I have mixed feelings about the place a volunteer at. There's things I like, things I don't. Today I felt a bit more anxious there than normal and the social dynamic with my colleagues didn't help. I felt a bit caught off guard today, and i need to be compassionate with myself. But the person training me is also quite supportive. I may be able to get a job there eventually.

I'm just relaxing after lunch now. I ate pretty unhealthy. It was good, but now I'm feeling it. I need an apple and ginger tea now.

I think along with nuts I need to cut out straight up cheese. Cheese in stuff is ok but I had mostly cheese to eat today and I feel really sick right now and cheese is one of the things I'm moderatly sensitive to according to my test. I think the reason I may go through phases with food is because I'm sensitive to so many things I just get into habits with certain things until I can't do that food/group anymore. Then I move on.

Of course cola would be ok on my stomach according to the test. I can chug a good 4 cans a day without feeling sick.

Besides the eating stuff I did ok overall today.

I had a good day and I had energy to clean the house this evening- then I realised I’d had 3 coffees which was unusual for me - oops, oh well at least I got the cleaning done.

I’m having a good day too. Went to aqua fitness then took mum to get her hair cut and ran errands. Now just chilling and watching the old Hawaii 5 O.
