How are you coping today? #6

Despite my anxiety being through the roof I didn't do bad at controlling it. I stayed on track with all my meds and I kept my visible moods and anxiety in check. I did not participate much but I also didn't bring anyone down.

I feel this way so much of the time, even though I believe in my CBT training. It's so hard sometimes to believe in the most beauiful things.

I have 20+ years of experience in my field and I'm now at a point where I don't believe I'll be able to go back. Self-doubt and very low self esteem. Yuck.

I wish you luck with your interviews.

I'm hanging in there! I am feeling grateful for my life, health, and situation. I am free! I also am compliant and am taking good medication. I am resting and remaining calm until my interview. No matter what happens, I'll be ok. I feel blessed that I have food to eat and a place to sleep. I am also thankful for the opportunities people are giving me. I don't have much but being free and taking care of myself are a bonus. The doctor told me to return sooner if I have problems. I also can take more medication if I'm too stressed out. So far, I'm ok. I love myself and my life that God gave me. So, no time to feel sorry for myself. I am taking it one day at a time. I do see a rainbow now after the storm. I choose to be ok and happy, not down and out. I hope, of course, things work out for me. I am nervous about my interview but will survive. No matter what happens I will continue persevering. Thinking about my past, I've come a long way since the days when I hated taking my medication. I am past this now. I need to focus on what I can do for myself and do my best with what I have.

I was trying to go grocery shopping on a holiday. But I let my anxiety get the best of me today. So I did not cope the greatest But even at 9:30AM the stores were very crowded. I didn't do anything bad to cope I just didn't get done what I wanted to do. So I guess my quality of life was affected today. Hopefully tommorow my anxiety won't be so high.

I was able to take a couple of naps & I'm playing games here in the forums.

Work was just a bit crazy today, but I got through! Looking forward to a day off. Chilling out now and going to watch some TV.

I feel overjoyed- I got the job tentatively. Now, I have to start working again after I sign the contract. I feel great!! However, the job is not easy. So, I need to study and keep persevering.

I did good today. I controlled things pretty much. My stomach hurts a bit right now but overall things were ok.

I managed to get some things done earlier today. I watched Drew Barrymore. I've played some games here at the forums. And I talk to myself when I'm slipping.

I'm getting busier. I feel ok but wish I had more stamina!! I have to work about 10 to 12 hours a day. Argh!! Well, I get to sit down once in a while but just have to put on a happy face at work. This job is a lifestyle. But, it is a job so no complaints.

I tried my best. But I got my dates mixed up so I was not productive. My current concern is I wore my last clean pair of jeans. My med management was good. My sleep was bad as ususal. My anxiety was high but its better now. I turned off the news. Everyone just is acting lethargic and I asked my mom if the house was checked for mold and she said yeah. So idk.

apart from not sleeping and aching during my shower, not bad.

I feel good right now for leaving a **** review of a mental health service i experienced

I cleaned the front door and windows which were covered in muck from all the bad weather and storms and that was actually quite satisfying! I’m feeling more motivated just from this one action.

My life may be flipped upside down for a few months. Not necessairly in a bad way. But I may not feel things I've felt in 2 years and I may feel some things again. It will be interesting to see how things play out but I'm hoping I'll be ok with the idea of going back to work and I'll be more like my 2016-March 2020 self where I was working regularly and I wasn't so anxious or moody.

I really hate days like today.

not only does my body feel like it's on it's last legs (I feel like an old grandmother!), but time seems quicker than it actually is- making you think you've done more with your day but you've not.

and it's later than it is

I'm mentally coping pretty good at the moment, even though it's hard. I mean, my situation is full of the same hard things, but I seem to be in a healthier frame of mind right now.

Not so great but all things considered it could have been worse. Had a stressful couple of days and think I'm having a bit of an emotional hangover.

That is awesome

I been keeping myself busy by getting rid of a lot of stuff

Coping okay. A bit annoyed by a couple things, but such is life.

In turning my mind to acceptance about something, I realized I need gratitude and distraction. Keeping busy helps.


I did some of my class today, and I am just keeping busy. I went window shopping with my Mom today, too, and ended up buying a book later on.


About to have a snack and tea, and burn a CD.

I’ve been anxious about the world situation, but realise. I can’t alter anything. Trying to distract and keep busy. I did well with this today and got some good chores done which have needed doing for some time. I felt good, accomplished.

I finally have something to be excited about.

I am hoping to get a new dvd player on tuesday. I just saw an email to say that they finally have the one I want in stock

Feeling somewhat better today! Maybe it has something to do with the sunshine.

I am feeling super angry because amazon damaged my package in transet- so now I won't be getting a new dvd player.

I am also feeling rather ill after the pancakes I just ate for breakfast- another thing I can add to the list of things I fail at
