How are you coping today? #6

Amazingly well today, after a not so
good morning. I feel fine at the moment.

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.

Coping better than I have in a long time. I'm seeing the gradual change in me and looking forward to branching out more in 2023.

Tired still cause I was sat up with Willow last night, trick or treaters then fireworks scared her, think it was nearly midnight when she finally decided it was safe to let meowmy sleep, poor scared fur baby ❤️

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

Cause if suicides happen it's my fault

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.

Today I coped by doing a video on a yoga app on a smart TV.

Yelling at people is so futile but it sounds like the boss had a short fuse. Where I work yelling at people is a disciplinary offence. Accidents happen when you’re stocking shelves, yelling doesn’t stop that. Poor guy.

I’m doing okay today but I’m tired, maybe just the season.

MuseumGhost · Nov 05, 2022 at 11:07 AM

I'm doing well, considering I got very little sleep. I could have used a good night's worth as I still have so much I need to get done.

Can't have too much coffee because stomach is already upset. (((***sigh***)))

I'll get through this.

Mountaindewed · Nov 05, 2022 at 03:36 PM

Same tiredness crap even though I slept fine last night. Mountain Dew, coffee, and food didn't do much. Finally I took an almost 2 hour nap and felt a ton better when I woke up but now I'm tired again.

downandlonely · Nov 05, 2022 at 03:41 PM

Kind of tired. Glad we get an extra hour of sleep tonight (in the US)

Deilla · Nov 05, 2022 at 06:22 PM

I've been coping by smoking, crying, journaling and talking to my therapist.

Mountaindewed · Nov 06, 2022 at 03:53 PM

I did ok with the time change but now its messing with me a bit. I was crabby but I kept my moods to myself. Anxiety wise I was off and on but now it seems under control. Food wise things weren't great but dinner should make up for it. I guess today wasn't all that bad besides my sister being here the majority of the day and causing stress. I just don't feel 100% and I haven't since I got back from my trip.

*Beth* · Nov 07, 2022 at 01:51 AM

Today has not been an easy one. Cried all day over some stuff in my life. All day. I'm exhausted from crying and just want to go to bed. Thankfully, it's raining.

This has happened to me before too

It does happen sometimes to ''givers''

Please take care of you and sleep when you need to
