Oh, my goodness, thank you so much for being there! I don't know what I'd do without all of you. Life is sometimes painful. But I am so glad we do have each other. Thank you, dear ones, for being here for the rest of us!

I feel like crying. I wish I were already old and frail. Peace would be possible then, it seems.

Work has been short staffed and stressful again but I’m clocked out now and planning some nice things for next few days.

I may have figured out why I was so anxious on top of everything else going on. My anxiety was fine today but my stomach was upset. I took some pepto bismol half an hour avo and it feels decent right now. I have therapy tommorow and I kinda don't want to do it. I don't want to be burned out again by telesessions like I was in 2020. Plus there might be insurance issues with this therapist she wants me to see and I just don't feel like battling insurance companies. I know I need to talk to her though about all this.

My father got me a battery charger for my laptop and I am hence just relaxing today on my laptop. I love my laptop. And sometimes I want a really simple device for my cell phone.


There's a kitten exploring the street and I'm seeing through Nextdoor and the neighborhood group on Facebook if there is anyone with a lead for this lost tabby cat. Or if anyone wants her.

Its hard to tell if I'm coping well or not. I wasn't very productive. But I wasn't annoyed or moody with anyone. Food wise wasn't great but when is it ever. I basically just survived today.

A lot of psychological pain right now, but I'm really glad about a tone down on the physical pain.

I coped well today. I had a bad migraine and nausea most of the afternoon. I think it was from the pumpkin seeds I ate. I'm feeling better now. Overall my anxiety and moods were under control and I actually legit ate today. I have to get some blood work done in the morning that I'm nervous about because I've been doing something I've been told not to that could mess things up. But hopefully things will be ok. I haven't been stressing too much over it today.

I've made some mistakes today, so I've been trying to talk to myself better.

I got my flu shot yesterday and I also found out my blood level is high. Which may explain the mental health and some of the medical issues I've been having. So today I've felt hungover from the flu shot. I was having a lot of anxiety but its better now. Now I have a headache and my cough has returned and I have a sore throat. So I think I'm still dealing with covid. I got a little bit of an hours nap in but my coughing woke me up. Now I just feel kinda blah. I see my doctor in the morning who deals with the high blood level. If I can get some help in that area that would be amazing. I also got some other blood work done today ordered by another doctor that I'm a bit worried about. I haven't gotten the results yet which just makes the worrying even worse.

I had an interview today but if they offer me the job I"m going to say no. After hearing more about it, I think it's quite wrong for me. On the plus side, I'm in my 9th week of classes, and it's going well. I'm planning on going to a yoga class tonight to unwind.

I’m doing okay although there’s been some external stressors, talked things over with my husband and that helped.

I am frigging exhausted its taking me half an hour just to get up the energy to get out of bed to go to the bathroom. I've only had about 15oz of water today. I just chugged a Gatorade though. I did get to the grocery store this morning and got some of my food staples I was out of or almost out of. I've been in bed since just phsyically exhausted. My mental health moods and anxiety have been fine for most of the day.

I am coping okay considering I'm going through some medicine changes and moving to a different country in January... I saw my psychiatrist today and resolved some stuff.

Also stressed cause I came online to find that friend had another crisis explosion in email and one email has brought back when I got blamed for a suicide due to daring to be offline sleeping

Cause how very dare I need sleep

I have to stay up even on days that I'm working, just in case I'm needed

I did fine today. No one paid any attention to me and I wasn't paranoid. Although I think some guy snuck into the hotel just to eat breakfast. I just had the normal not feeling good physically today as usual. Some pepsi employee at the store dropped a 24 pack of Mountain Dew and his boss yelled at him. My brain fog sucked so I didn't hear much of it I just saw the guy looking pissed and picking up cans off the floor because his boss yelled at him. I hope my boss isn't like his. I've dropped a couple 12 packs at work before and haven't gotten yelled at, just gotten looks from my boss. Not sure why I mentioned that story. Anyways I don't feel very good right now but at least I'm in my own bed.
