How are you coping today? #6

That is understandable. We feel like that with our family. Take it easy on yourself.

That is normal when it that time of the month.

HI @ladyofmistakes, hope you're managing well with your new situation. Can definitely relate to having to adjust to change, yes.

Yeah, I can see how doing things on your own will be a great adjustment for you. I understand. What I'd probably do is to really start to accept, in your mind, the new reality you'll be facing; the new challenges, and plan ahead in advance for what you will need to do.

Maybe start by doing small things on your own first, and then slowly build up from there to the bigger things little by little, day by day, becoming more independent. You'll be proud of yourself for achieving these things, for pushing through the fears, and you can give yourself a pat on the back for reaching out to find solutions too. Maybe the 'doing small things first' can be the distraction for you, from the anxiety of thinking about it. And perhaps apply this principle to changing your approach with your mom as well - to one of peace and tolerance, love - all of these kinds of things. Because it's all about changes taking place.🙂🙏

Thanks so much @Buffy01, it's really nice of you, thanks.🙏

Hope you're coping well too, my friend. ((Hugs))

Hopeless, i just want to hide in silence
Wish the best for others

Your welcome.

I'm coping today by writing some journal prompts. Listening to music with some chicken and wild rice soup on the stove. I seem to have looked in the mirror just right at myself and I look different in my perspective. I seem to be coping with it?? I've decided to stop using my phone so much because it seems like it's upsetting me to do that. The laptop is where it's at. I have my cell phone turned off because I need to rely less on it, even as a crutch. I hope that I can find the will power and hence I have asked God to let me just let it be.

I’m a little anxious about work tomorrow, I’m anxious about a colleague’s well-being too. I’m also a little anxious about my friend who has covid in the family.

However I’m also happy my adult son is home for the weekend and I’m also aware how lucky I am in many ways.

I just want to die. Right now. I just need to muster up the courage to try again. Thank you so much.

You're welcome @ladyofmistakes, you'll be okay, it'll be difficult but you'll be okay. Keep reaching out on here too please, it may provide you comfort and with ideas to help you navigate through the challenges. Think of it like the little caterpillar transforming into the magnificent butterfly perhaps. Anyway, we're all here on MSF facing challenges too, so you're very much not alone, friend. One day at a time, as they say. 🙏🙏🙏

I been journaling all of my bad feelings and trying to see the good things in my life.

I feel more stressed about work, there are so many people off sick at the moment I’m struggling with the workload.

That is understandable

I'm here on the forums, & I'm trying to plan & visualize better moments ahead.

Not a bad plan

Thank you, Buffy!

Your welcome.

I'm okay-ish. The session today was less emotionally difficult, which is good, cause I have plans tonight.

I did some cleaning today to keep my mind off of how horrible I been feeling.

My head is all over the place and I’m forgetting things and making mistakes all over the place, I need to relax and find a way of coping with the work situation.

I’m tired. And stressed. Looking forward to winter though— time for snowshoeing and ice skating and learning to snowboard if I can afford it! Winter is my favorite season, hands down

I got up and went to aqua fitness and now trying to psych myself up to shovel the walk!

Taking one minute at a time, planning, doing little things.

That is normal to feel this way when stressed out.

You are all so wonderful here. I'm so glad I found this site. But what if it's Really True that you got yourself into this situation? That's just another lump of coal on the fire. And there is NOTHING in the world you can do about it.
I threw away the most wonderful and perfect person in my life and, in my mind, that I could ever exist. His decision was certainly abrupt, yes for sure,.but i can now understand how i threw it away. Forgive myself? Not this quickly now way. I want him back so much and he wants nothing to do with me. The last 16 years have all come together all of a sudden and are one big brick wall that doesn't allow anything to do with me be near any part of it.
