How are you coping today? #6

Discombobulated · Nov 07, 2022 at 01:08 PM

Feeling physically unwell today and struggled through my work shift but couldn’t volunteer this afternoon which I was sad about, I slept instead and that’s helped a lot along with a good amount of painkillers. Feeling floppy now but otherwise okay.

It does happen sometimes to ''givers''

Please take care of you and sleep when you need to

I agree with this, some people will project and blame those who are kind to them sadly, please look after yourself and know that it’s not your fault Willowtigger.

I'm doing ok with the sleep part of the time change but I'm struggling with taking my meds an hour later. I don't want to take them early but I'm on such a strict like internal schedule or something. I did end up taking a lot of them early but I'm hoping I get used to the time change and can go back to my regular schedule. But sleep wise it hasn't been much of an issue. Besides that this morning was rough but this afternoon was better after I drank the fluids my doctor wanted me to drink. So yeah my other doctor is probably right and it is mostly nutrition related instead of anxiety. But I'm not 100% sure I think I may have something going on. I did get out of the house without anxiety which is good.

I overslept today without realizing that I wasn’t late on taking my medication.

I was sad all day yesterday. But I did a lot of chores anyway. I just zoned out, it wasn't even hard. Still sad today, but still have chores and stuff to do. I'll manage. I can cry on the weekend or something.

I’m sorry that you were feeling sad all day yesterday. Sometimes we just have those day. Sometimes we just need to distract ourselves. Take it easy on yourself.

I’m distracting myself by taking notes from a drawing book I checked out from the library that is due soon. Usually work is a great distraction for me, but so far this week I’ve only been scheduled in the afternoons. Too much family time; I need a break from it.

Discombobulated · Nov 08, 2022 at 02:44 PM

Doing okay, better day, a little achy and spaced but getting there.

That sounds like a awesome idea to do. I’ll definitely keep that in mind.

Before 11AM was rough, but once I pushed myself the rest of the day went much better.

That is awesome sometimes we just need a little push.

Eating a little more than usual at dinner and listening to Spotify again!

That is awesome to get back into activities you’ve once enjoyed.

Mountaindewed · Nov 11, 2022 at 04:37 PM

I didn't do the best but I don't really know whats going on either. I know I have a lot stuff coming up that I didn't think was bothering me but maybe it is.

Buffy01 · Nov 11, 2022 at 07:49 PM

I been keeping myself busy by doing housework and rearranging the dining room.

Breaking Dawn · Nov 11, 2022 at 08:59 PM

Today got harder again, & I was fortunately able to use distraction here.

Discombobulated · Nov 12, 2022 at 11:57 AM

So tired and achy after my covid booster yesterday, not sick, just feel like I ran a half marathon when I definitely didn’t. Kept warm and slept a lot.

Buffy01 · Nov 12, 2022 at 01:31 PM

I decided to ignore my niece when I went out to eat today.

Mountaindewed · Nov 12, 2022 at 03:45 PM

I'm feeling about the same as yesterday. Tired and low energy and not too hungry. I took a nap for the second day in a row. I don't feel too depressed. Just under the weather physically for some reason. I guess I haven't felt 100% since I got covid on October 11th. Although I'm not sure I'd classify it as long covid.

Hope your discomfort is short-lived.
