Today I just feel down about therapy mainly and I have an unitentional caffeine withdrawel headache which has been tough to deal with. I didn't know that was the issue until I looked at my food app and realized I've had little caffeine these last few days.

Might be the covid also? I got nasty headaches with covid.

Just trying to do what I can & keep planning what I want to do.

I have covid

I'm too tired to get out of bed. I don't want to sleep either. I'm not hungry. I'm just kind of here today.

It's a lazy day. Nothing happening. So I'm just hanging out.

Breaking Dawn · Oct 17, 2022 at 07:16 PM

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.

Breaking Dawn · Oct 21, 2022 at 04:00 PM

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

Mountaindewed · Oct 23, 2022 at 05:49 PM

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.

Breaking Dawn · Oct 23, 2022 at 06:16 PM

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

Nammu · Oct 23, 2022 at 06:43 PM

Despite the pain and other things ok

Buffy01 · Oct 23, 2022 at 07:58 PM

I made myself go outside and do some yard work as well as visiting my neighbors.

Deilla · Oct 24, 2022 at 06:46 PM

I've been smoking cigarettes to cope.

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.
