How are you coping today? #6

Buffy01 · Jul 07, 2022, 07:09 PM

One of my online friends was very hurtful to me in the email that I had received and the bad voicemail that was left and the phone call I had received. Which had really hurt my feeling.

More anxiety. Can't find a new therapist, they're all booked.

Mountaindewed · Jul 08, 2022, 04:16 PM

My anxiety has been absolutly awful all day for no reason. I've had to just zone out in front of the TV and watch Top Model and eat whatever I wanted to. I ate stuff this morning but then I haven't eaten since 11:30 maybe and I'll skip dinner but I literally ate both a hot dog and a piece of pizza in one sitting. So of course I wouldn't be hungry for the rest of the day. Anyways I'm trying to just relax for the night and get my anxiety under control because I don't know whats bugging me so badly.

That's me now. Nice to know I'm not alone with these feelings.

I started the day not coping too well. But after a nap positive thoughts took over

God Bless

Just like nothing brings me joy anymore. I'm beyond down in the dumps. My mom says tommorow will make me feel a lot better and my pdoc says it will boost my confidence too.

Buffy01 · Jul 11, 2022, 09:24 PM

I been feeling really down lately and been in tears. I don't know why that is the case.

MuseumGhost · Jul 12, 2022, 02:46 PM

Dear Buffy,

It sounds like you've been really badly let down by people close you you, a lot lately. I know, for myself, that when disappointments come along like one right after another, it can bring me pretty low for a while.

I hope better things start happening for you. Keep busy, and engage in things you like to do, which give you good vibes and lots of validation.

Mountaindewed · Jul 12, 2022, 03:28 PM

Today has been pretty tough but I've been able to talk about things with my mom. I got some things started this morning with my laywer. I got a pdoc appointment set up for next Monday. A therapy appointment set up for tommorow. I rescheduled a doctors appointment. Today was productive but I'm just getting super worn down by this nonstop anxiety and agoraphobia and these sleep issues and I'm honestly getting very concerned for my future. Based on the lawyers appointment today it will still be a bit before I am comfortable going back to work so I have time to work on my anxiety. If my pdoc can help me out somehow without me gaining 30 pounds from a med I'd gladly take his help.

MaverickLovesYou · Jul 12, 2022, 08:36 PM

Buffy, sorry you're feeling down. Think positive. Don't accept negative thoughts/feelings. That's where I'm at now. Trying to fix myself & I know it starts with what I think & what I tell myself, what I feed my brain. God Bless

Deilla · Jul 14, 2022, 03:56 AM

I'm coping by being here. It's been a while. I'm trying to use DBT techniques and journal. I'm also working on music and talking with people. So all of that is helping. Today was pretty bad. I was crying for almost an hour.

Dear @Mountaindewed, I am so sad after reading what you said.

God bless your wonderful soul. You don't realize how valuable you are to others, how important you are. Some day I hope you will know.

Fuzzybear · Jul 14, 2022, 11:50 AM

It would have been nice if my ''mom'' had been able to love me.

It would have been nice if I had not been ''born a worthless piece of shht''....

@Buffy01 sorry you are feeling down.

I find this very comforting

All the best to you,

I am feeling really down and a bit anxious over my latest medical diagnosis (GP confirmed I have arthritis in my knees). This is horrifying to me. I already have so much to overcome---I've made a lot of progress, depression-wise---but this is a wrench thrown right in the middle of everything. I don't know what I have to look forward to, now.

I'm not usually so free in sharing my medical situations. But I am finding that if I do not talk about it, and give the feelings words, I feel far worse about it all.

((((((((***deep sigh***))))))))

CANDC · Jul 14, 2022, 09:19 PM

@MuseumGhost I am so sorry to hear how challenging a knee problem is. That must be a difficult thing to walk with.

Hoping for a way to cope with that. Thanks for sharing.

I know this is a long time after your post, but I saw it and felt a wave of empathy for you as a parent losing your child. That must be excruciating.

Have you considered professional help to try to get you help to cope with this disruption in your life. @CANDC

Deilla · Jul 14, 2022, 11:18 PM

I played my game and then did some work. It's been a distraction from the depression I feel. I may journal next.

Actually that isn't true, it was THAT ''family'' who were ''worthless pieces of ****''

Thanks to those who sent hugs

May the Universe reward those who have kind hearts

I wasn't feeling good this morning. I talked with my doctor last night and he told me to go for my blood work early. So I went right before 9 and had no issues at all with anything. I came home and still felt a bit crappy until noon when I ate some chicken noodle soup and drank some Gatorade. I skipped my stomach med today and I know some of the side effects can include agitation and paranoia. My irritation was much better today. So I think I may have found the cause of why I've been so ornery and anxious. I've had a cramp in the left side of my chest all day. It feels like surgery pain but I had the revisons over a year ago. I'm not panicking that its a heart attack I'm just waiting for the blood test results but I know since its the weekend I may not get them until Monday.

MaverickLovesYou · Jul 16, 2022, 05:17 PM

Fairly well *praying hands*

Mountaindewed · 12:00 PM

I'm going to be honest with my pdoc tommorow and tell him how badly my concentration is. I can't watch TV. I can't read. All I can do is stare at my phone and post on here. I am going to be assertive and say I don't want anything that will make me gain weight. But I don't want a stimulant either thats addictive. I was going to have my mom in on the call with me because she knows how bad it is too. I'm thinking maybe concerta is what I need. But this is really driving me crazy.

Edit: I do feel better now after eating some low cal ice cream. I know my eating habits arent the greatest and I'm not eating a lot of nutrious foods. But I'm working on my eating stuff in therapy with a therapist who actually knows this stuff.

Overall besides not doing anything today I didn't cope all that badly. Hopefully tommorow I can get out for breakfast and then my pdoc can help me out in the afternoon.
