How are you coping today? #6

Meh day for me. Busy today and didn't get much time to myself. My anxiety is very high as I wait for DH to come home- never know which mood is going to walk through the door

Have a headache and my stomach hurts.

Hah, I'm going to post under my yesterday's coping...

Feeling very anxious today. DH came home and he's on a relatively even keel mentally and emotionally at the moment. He's like "What's wrong? After 8 years of a roller coaster, I'm all better now, so things have to go back to normal." I don't think he's all better, and the fact that he thinks his mental status can turn around in a matter of weeks, just makes no sense and only an idiot would buy into that. And even if it were possible, there's a lot of trust that is in the toilet at the moment. He doesn't seem to realize how much damage his undiagnosed condition has caused, and that it's not remedied because he suddenly feels good. He comes home early from work today and I'm not looking forward to it. He doesn't understand I need space and he will follow me around and then act hurt that I don't feel like pretending that nothing bad has been happening for years.

Anyway, I worked on my 12 step codependency book a bit. That helped clarify a few things, but I always feel like it's two steps forward and one step back. Or maybe one step forward two steps back... Need to find a way to get my own feet back under me.

I didn't sleep well last night at all. But I had been thinking of going out to eat for awhile but I just used the $60 to buy $60 of groceries instead. My anxiety was ok until an hour or so ago but my overall moods were ok all day. I just wasn't productive besides getting shopping done. I have to figure out something to eat for dinner, right now I don't want to eat anything.

I apparently took a nap. I'm feeling like everything is brand new. I feel like I'm klnd of halfway here & the other half is somewhere else.

I’ve had some pain flare ups, not sure if I’ll have to reintroduce my meds, not feeling great about that but it will be what it will be.

I had a nice afternoon with a friend and that has made me feel better.

Today has been so boring. I coped well with it but I was massivly zofran resisted nauseated plus unable to concentrate on much. I did get most of one of the TV shows I was watching finished. I don't really know what I'm expecting from life at this moment. I'm not depressed or anything like that but I just wish I had something to do or even if my sister and her family came over in the morning I'd be happy.

agony, agony, and did I mention agony?

I lifted up my arms today to put my shirt on and ****ing screamed with pain

ditto my bottom half

That's so sad. I wish I could help you.

I coped by switching around my diet and watching reality TV.

Actually pretty okay. I'm functioning pretty well given all that's happened today.

An ouchy kind of a day but after work I took a solid nap which really helped. Still a bit achy but not as bad. I’m coping tonight by avoiding the news and going to watch a little feel good TV then early bed.

I'm coping by going on a drive and taking a nap.

I've been reading posts & playing games here at the forums.

Not well, I have too much weighing on me. Lately, I feel like everything is bad news and family drama. Getting out of bed and concentrating on work is a challenge.

I'm coping by doing my budget over and over again.

Thank you for letting me know.

I been watching selfhelp video like Lisa A Romano as wells as watching celebrity house to keep my mind off of having an anxiety or feeling depression. It was the only thing that I could think off that was positive to do.

I coped well today, but I am never inhaling something with 3200 mil of sodium in 5 minutes again. And I think I offically know now to stay away from dairy. My brother in law can't have caffeine because of bad migraines and I was thinking to myself "isnt a new flavor of Mountain Dew or a new flavor of Coke worth a migraine?" Now I understand firsthand how a string cheese or a frosty coffee from Wendys is for sure not worth feeling like **** all day.

So I coped well emotionally. Physically could have been better.

Just feeling like throwing up. Have to manage that

I didn't have any dairy today. I had M&Ms which have dairy but those are ok on my stomach. But I didn't have any cream or milk or cheese or anything like that. So my stomach and nausea was fine. My eating could have been a bit better. I wasn't very hungry so I just grazed on mostly unhealthy stuff. But I have a healthy dinner planned. My visible moods and anxiety were under control. I didn't ask for too much reassurance and I was able to get out to 3 stores with little anxiety and get what I needed done. I am trying not to focus on my doctors appointment on Monday. Overall I think I did good today. When I learned about the new covid variant I sent my mom a funny meme instead of panicking.

I guess I’m coping - I swam this morning that’s good. I’m feeling a bit anxious over some stuff, obsessing a little but I’m okay.

I'm *****ing and whining and moaning. It helps with the anger. I also quit therapy. I'm sick of the ********.

I seem to be coping, I guess. I'm saying encouraging things to myself when I remember that I need to do that.

I am looking forward to my mcdonalds this evening

almost makes the agony and pain of the day worth it, even if it is only for a few nuggets
