How are you coping today? #6

Sounds like a nice hypomanic state, just don't allow it to get unchecked

Eating excessively and immersing myself in a world of reality television. Day to day routine

Not well. Took prn. Waiting for it to kick in so I can sleep.

I have been busy today with appointments. Its been nice.

I also just ate two frosted paczki and some panera brand broccoli and cheddar mac and cheese. So, I'm feeling tired lol.

My increase in meds seems to be really helping. I didnt focus much on Ukraine today. Ever since it happened I've been worrying myself like crazy. And today when my therapist told me she was on vacation next week I didn't flip out or think much of it. Its a big diffrence from the panic attack in the hotel bathroom incident last Thursday. And the good thing is this med change is causing weight loss instead of weight gain.

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.
