Today I have coped by redoing some of my information on social media and things I like to be social on. I have danced in my chair a bit and actually eaten lunch. I am having less iced tea which is so disgusting to me. I put makeup on and went out to the supermarket. And at the supermarket I got a notepad which I am going to try to write to myself things that need be done for the time while trying to explain why these things are important and also write why I am grateful to be alive.

I'm trying to make it through the day. The wildfires here are getting worse and are causing me a lot of respiratory issues. Our inept government is still "evaluating" the situation.

I'm doing a ton better today. I slept last night and I haven't had any crippling anxiety.

I realized I haven't cride since my surgery in October 2021. I don't have any estrogen in me anymore so its like I just can't anymore. Yeah I've still felt sad though sometimes. But my main emotion has been anxiety.

Also I realized today Dolly Parton causes me to have dysphoria. I'm not saying I don't like her. But she sometimes just makes me feel uncomfortable.

I thought I'd be super happy over the news and I'd want to celebrate. But my stomach and food issues can't take a break for anything. Overall it was a mildly good day and I coped very well.

I can't seem to meditate properly these days. It's become more of a chore, less of a coping mechanism. T and I meditated at his office today, and I was restleess and my thoughts came and went almost unchecked. I was scared. I don't know why, and I didn't communicate it, but I felt fear for some reason. At least that's what it seemed to be.

I’m doing better today, I felt overwhelmed by a few things yesterday and overloaded with work particularly, today my deputy was in and I felt better supported. Plus I’ve got a couple of days off before the retail madness restarts for Christmas.

Ohhh 😮 you work retail! Oh I feel for you. As a consumer I avoid the madness. I wish good and thoughtful consumers for you.

I think my blood level may be up for the first time since March. I'm having very specfic symptoms that I haven't had in a long time. I'm super irritable which I haven't been in a long time. I am sweating which I never do even after a workout. I have a headache even though I'm drinking water. And I'm tired even though I slept good last night. I guess its possible the level got jacked up already after going up on my dose just 2 weeks ago. I go for my blood test on January 3rd. Right now my face feels flushed. Another symptom and I just feel meh I guess but my anxiety is finally down.

I feel that way with Elton John I feel awful when I listen to his music for some reason.

I've been trying to encourage myself. Failed to follow a plan today, so I'm wishing I'll succeed tomorrow.
