How are you coping today? #6

I can only wish to be chilled.

I have the radio on the upbeat music station. It's so interesting because I can keep it on this station and get rid of my Apple Music. This means there are shifts in my mindset probably ! WOW

Awesome. Sometimes upbeat music is all that we need.

I woke up early and worked out. I got under my bed swept. Which was a disaster. I also got my freezer organized. Stuff was just piled on top of each other. Its very neat now. After about 2 months I got my laundry put away today. I had just been putting it in laundry baskets after it was finished drying. I can feel the prestiq improving my depression and anxiety. But I still feel so sick all the time from the side effects or something.

Sometimes it just the little things that make a big difference in a person life.

Why is everything the same all the time.

I’m coping by staying busy.

Alright I guess. I didn't do much today. Kind of beating myself up for it.

I open my window for some light while the power outage is down and organize my closet some to keep myself busy and my mind off of my negativity.

I feel like I'm coping pretty well on the whole. Last night I said I might as well get drunk for a couple of days this Christmas, another lonely Christmas, but I know, for me, it is not a good idea. Beautiful sunset outside right now, nature helps me cope.

I did a good job yesterday avoiding the emotional tsunami. Both h and mom antagonized me separately; first him then her. I left by myself when he started on me, avoiding confrontation. She bothered me more. I’m not sure if her intent is to hurt me or if it is not that malicious. Her emotional invalidation is astounding, something I have had to deal with my whole life, a horrible trigger for me now.

Work was a challenge, understaffed as usual and I ended up working alongside someone who triggers me, he triggered me today and I talked to him about it (not in an unpleasant way I hope, he’s got issues, it’s not entirely within his control I don’t think). I handled it as well as I could, I’m getting better at telling people what’s not okay by me.

So a good whole lot of challenges, including a chaotic workplace and increased workload. I’m not happy about it at all, and I really miss my colleagues who have left but I’m coping I guess.

Good for you. You can only speak up and let other know their behavior affects you, even if it’s not within their preview to change, you’ve spoken up.

I'm the normal tired today. I'm slightly nauseated as well. Depression and mood wise I was fine all day. My anxiety was tough for a couple hours but I managed it.

Coped quite well today. Managed to just block out or not dwell on the counterproductive thinking patterns which if left unchecked will overwhelm my mind. Enjoyed my first summer excursion of this summer today. It's strange being on your own all the time though, trying to ring a sense of normalcy out of life.

I’m tired of having grief during Christmas because of the loss of my mother the day before Christmas Eve.

I have this like intense anxiety feeling in my fingers and legs like they are jello or something. I've eaten but it hasn't helped. I took my night meds early to see if that would help. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind right now. The only time I get like this is when I'm about to get really physically sick and I was around sort of sick people yesterday. Who claimed they were better but probably werent

A full on day today but productive in a good way, I felt a little overwhelmed a couple of times but kept steady and now it’s time to sleep.

Sounds awesome.

I’m sorry. I do understand.

I feel stressed and a little cornered
I'm trying to calm down

The only way to had peace in my family was to buy them with money and because they depended on society's judgement I couldnt fail
But I did and lost control many years ago
I guess since i was a teen after poor performance in school followed by failure at uni
I wish I made It and my family lived happy

Aorry for this, i dont know where to vent

I was calm but 5 mins ago I had an argue and screamed. I am sorry but everything is beyond control

Im feeling anxious

Want Christmas to be over

I am not coping too well. We are in this eternal heatwave where temperatures have been over 30° Celsius (86° F) for over three weeks. On Sunday it hit 36°/97°. We have been dealing with power outages and cuts to internet services as a result. It is hard to get a decent night's sleep. Usually here, temperatures drop a lot at night, but not lately. Now forest fires have started, and the air quality is worsening my respiratory allergies.

I’m sorry that you are struggling right now.

I’m sorry you are struggling.
