How are you coping today? #6

I’m hanging in there.

By talking to friends and journaling.

Breaking Dawn · Jul 31, 2022, 06:34 AM

I've been playing games & listening to music.

I made it to the grocery store again. I didn't used to go to the grocery store on weekdays let alone on Sundays. Now I'm super lightheaded. I just drank a gatorade which is what my doctors tell me to do. I think I just am light headed from not enough asleep and not enough legit food. I'm probably overheated without realizing it too. But I think I did ok today.

I’m coping well, I volunteered this afternoon and that gave me a boost.

Mountaindewed · Aug 01, 2022, 03:10 PM

I'm pretty sleep deprived and I couldn't go anywhere today anyways. But if someone were to say "want to go out to lunch?" I'd go. So I guess my agoraphobia is still ok. My anxiety is fine too.

I have been playing games off & on. I watched some tv. I looked at photos of flowers & other interests on the internet.

I'm trying not to be so ocd about my schedule and try to be more flexible. Except for my meds and sleep. That I need to be on a strict schedule. But I took a shower at 9 instead of right when I got up. I went to a couple stores around 10:30. Normally I'm a morning shopper. I was thinking of going out to lunch but I am still pretty sleep deprived and the weather is crappy like it is every where else. Plus my stomach was hurting. So I came home and we ordered pizza instead. Now I feel better but I'm still tired. But I did well today.

I also partake in online group sessions for language exchange. I am doing well. I eat well and sleep well. I have been trying to walk at least every other day. Life is not bad. The best news is that I'm stable mentally. I feel good about this!

I hear what your saying. I feel the same way myself. I wished that I had been that lucky. I had covid. This sound like you have an awesome plan.

I'm sort of doing better this morning so far. I'm trying to fulfill a goal that I've been putting off. I'm close to being finished & might succeed this morning. I'm feeling very emotional about it. I'm wishing me luck.

Breaking Dawn · Aug 03, 2022, 08:34 AM

I succeeded!

I fulfilled my goal! So I guess I'm actually coping ok right now. I hope I can do some other things today.

Mountaindewed · 04:28 PM

I feel like I'm getting sick. Muscle aches. Chills. Severe fatigue. My mom is being a jerk to me for no reason. I did get my monthly Sams Club shopping done this morning. So at least I did something productive.

I guess I just needed to eat dinner and take half a zofran and my stomach med. I feel a lot better. These protein shakes and apple sauces I'm eating all day arent helping me feel any better. I still have the muscle aches but the fatigue is better. Hopefully I can get some decent sleep tonight.

Deilla · Aug 04, 2022, 01:57 AM

I'm not coping well.

Breaking Dawn · Aug 04, 2022, 07:43 AM

I seem to be coping ok this morning. I had been putting off answering a letter & I finally did. Now I'm hoping to send a bill payment today along with my letter.

Mountaindewed · 06:18 PM

I'm coping pretty good today. My anxiety is under control and for the first time in months I'm able to concentrate on reading again. I'm still not anxious about going back to work. I haven't felt that panicky feeling in awhile.

I just get bored of waking up at 1AM and listening to the same 15 songs. I wish I had another song to listen to. I'm listening to this one band every night and I'm also reading the memoir he wrote. Its getting a bit tiresome.

Mountaindewed · Aug 06, 2022, 01:33 PM

I slept well last night. There hasn't been much to do today. I got Taco Bell. My anxiety is fine but I have some vertigo I don't know from what and everytime I stand up I get light headed and I see these bursts of floating things and I get tunnel vision. I almost passed out from it earlier. But when I'm in bed I'm ok. And the Prestiq is helping my mental health so I'm not worrying about it. I don't know if I should be but I'm not currently worried. So besides being bored I'm coping well.

FloatThruThis · Aug 07, 2022, 10:50 AM

I am not coping as well as I would like to today. I’m fixating on crap over which I have no control. I want to let it go!

downandlonely · Aug 07, 2022, 11:09 AM

Coping pretty well today. Meeting someone for brunch.

Mountaindewed · Aug 07, 2022, 11:43 AM

I'm doing fine today. Everything I'm dealing with is a first world problem and nothing to actually complain about. But my anxiety and my moods are fine. These pork rinds I just ate I probably could have skipped though.

Discombobulated · Aug 07, 2022, 11:44 AM

I’m doing okay but I’m worried about a few things coming up at work which are highly likely to not be good and extra pressure on me - nothing I can do about any of it though.

I have just found out that someone who has caused me nothing but emotional pain for the last 4 years has to move back to her hometown which is not even in the same country.

I know I shouldn't feel relief (especially because of the reason she has to move,) but I do.

it makes me happy to know that I'll never hear from her again from november 10th- and while it's still a long time, it is something to look forward to

I'm so glad for you, @raging vortex!

I completely understand.

thanks. I apreciate it

I just wish she was taking all her minions with her

suppose it's a start though..

I did really good handling the dead car battery situation. My new med seems to be helping a lot with my anxiety. I'm just so cold all the time and its really annoying. I never get overheated. I never sweat. But currently I'm under 3 blankets and I'm wearing a giant hoodie blanket with the hood up and I don't have my fan on and I'm just now starting to get warmed up. I'm unusually exhausted too despite the 9-11 hours of sleep I've been getting.

I was thinking, @Mountaindewed, would it be possible that you might have an iron deficiency in your blood?
