How are you coping today? #6

Doing okay, I had a day off and got lots of stuff sorted and helped out a relative.

I've been trying to encourage myself. Failed to follow a plan today, so I'm wishing I'll succeed tomorrow.

It makes me sick, too.
I meditate (though lately, with some difficulty).
I stopped fully submitting my life to my families wishes. I still see them, and I still do things for them, but I do them more on my terms now then ever before. I never visit the worst parts of my family anymore. I don't stay in contact with my cousins who were abused by their primary caregiver when we were all children either...
I do sports. Espacially when I get angry. In the summer, I took my bike out for hours even after work. Once, when I got angry with a collegue, I just took a break and rode my bike for an hour, and then had a slow lunch. I work from at home.
I go to therapy. I tell T about some of the horrible thoughts I have, and still he stays and is my T (though he had a lot of doubts at the beginning and mybe still does).
I wind down, watching old TV shows. Mostly shows I have watched a million times before. No surprises.
I cuddle my stuffed animals and sometimes I talk to them.
I make as sure as I can with my limited influence that my neffew has a good life. It brings me joy when I see him happy. Unless he hits plants! Then I get to explain to him calmly and repeatedly that we don't hurt living creatures. In case he has the same genetic predisposition as I do, I want him to have a strong, secure moral understanding. And of course a happy childhood with healthy boundaries.
I do small things I like. Too rarely as of now, but I'll make more time for those in the future. You know, like food, a book, a movie, a walk, whatever brings me joy.
I am changing careers. My old one didn't really suit me. It burned me out. This one is much better.

The key for me was and is, as they say, baby steps.

I'm having a terrible time coping today.........The rain yesterday, and high winds today caused a big section of my fence to collapse, and 2 large trees in my yard are leaning, so trees will have to be cut down tomorrow...!!......I'm having an anxiety attack just thinking about those trees!!.......I'm trying to calm down now with some herbal tea......

I’m coping, final Christmas Eve mayhem shift done and planning a quiet day tomorrow.

Today, I am lazy. I haven't done a thing except for cooking myself noodels and coffee. Just recovering from the last 2 days I guess, but tomorrow, I really need to get some work done.

I'm coping decently I guess. I've been pretty lazy and I haven't kept up on any of my chores or the other ADL. But I'm just physically worn out today. Emotionally I've been ok.
