I'm trying today but I haven't felt the greatest and I hate public restrooms. Although I did drink my iced coffee in the car, come home, use the bathroom, then go out on my trip
So I don't know why I was in that much distress.

But I'm doing the best I can under these circumstances.

It's taking time but I remind myself it's my emotions that I are holding me back. I must resist and not submit. There are lots of things I don't want to do but the sooner and consistent that I do them, the greater my progress will be.

I went to the doctor I was told to go to. Although the doctor himself seemed to think I was at the wrong one. He seemed a bit exasperated to see me. But I did the test and I got the antibiotics and I had a brief freak out over things in the car with my mom but I seem to be ok now. Anxiety wise. I'm tired as **** though and I've been sleeping well for a few nights in a row now.

I'm a little off today. My therapist of 8yrs is retiring and I will be assigned to somebody new. On the positive side, I may be getting paired with a therapist that I have some experience with.

I still don't have an answer about why I feel so sick. Right now my nausea is real bad and I don't have any zofran or anything. I just have the rest of my prescribed pysch meds to take and basically I just have to hopefully sleep through it.
Overall the only thing I really stressed over today was some package anxiety.

I feel like I am trouble for not doing the right things at my job and how to change so it doesn't happen again?
Should I write a hundred times the same line
1. I shall always ...

I am going to try that but I don't know if that will work 😕.

I feel ok. The number of infected cases is rising again here. So, I'm hibernating again. So far, I have not become sick. I don't know when this pandemic is going to end. I am doing ok but am waiting for my parents to come here. I feel ok though. I've been taking warm baths to soothe myself. I am trying to stay out of trouble so will keep coding when I have time. 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!

Today I am lazy, bored, tired, and dirty. my apt is dirty my body is dirty. I need to run to the store but I'm too lazy and just tired. I might go take a nap.

Mountaindewed · Jan 16, 2022, 03:10 PM

I dont feel like doing the party for my sister. It will probably be 9 by the time we eat and I am asleep by 5:30 these days. Dinner probably won't even be started by then. I hate to be a party pooper though and I have constantly been doing this type of stuff ever since we moved.

Deilla · Jan 16, 2022, 03:57 PM

I'm posting in my therapy room and crying. Today I am very lonely. I have no one but my cats.

Mendingmysoul · Jan 16, 2022, 04:21 PM

I sometimes get so tired of having to cope,having to take diversion from my memories and ruminations. Yesterday night I just stopped trying.I just let my thoughts run amok. I just let it be.Didnot sleep well.Cried,bawled, mumbled the entire night.Today not doing any of my coping skills.But I am doing ok.I just wish my life was normal.

Mountaindewed · Jan 17, 2022, 06:58 PM

I'm trying to get to bed before the tylenol wears off. Overall I didnt cope terribly. I did my best.

I did skip the party. Dinner was late then they just hung out on their phones and its not that my mom didnt want them there it just seemed kind of pointless to be there at 10 at night just being on your phone when you live close.

Buffy01 · Jan 17, 2022, 10:06 PM

I been having some hard time lately due to me feeling down. I been trying to keep myself busy.

Discombobulated · Jan 18, 2022, 02:49 PM

Doing okay, my energy levels seemed better today, not sure why, maybe because I’ve left work early last couple of days (they’re trying to save money on staff hours), who knows. I’ve been eating not so brilliantly so it seems counterintuitive.

Reading has been helping to centre me, and having a quiet time seems to suit me.

Mountaindewed · Jan 18, 2022, 06:13 PM

I've been pretty *****y today to be honest. I don't think I'm coping very well with my internal mental health emotions. I just took some tylenol so I'm hoping I can get some rest. As much as the idea of telehealth therapy sessions suck at least I won't have to shower before. I'm just disapointed but I know its for the best.

Mountaindewed · Jan 19, 2022, 02:10 PM

I did good in therapy. I wasn't too crabby anywhere. I did ok. I hope my valium situation gets fixed. Everything I eat makes me feel like my stomach is going to rupture. So I've been trying not to eat much. I took tylenol and its still working.

Watching some comedy TV shows and surfing the interwebs. That seems like my whole life now. And walking my dogs. That helps a little.

Buffy01 · Jan 20, 2022, 07:42 PM

I been watching lots of self help video to cope with how I feel.

Deilla · Jan 21, 2022, 07:07 PM

I'm not coping well. It's in the evening and there's nothing to do. There's no one to talk to. I'm all alone. The only thing I can do is sleep. It's so depressing.

Jan 21, 2022, 08:04 PM

Going to take my dogs for their last walk an hour earlier than normal and then go to bed. I'm a little better now, but this day has sucked more than any in the last couple of months.

Jan 22, 2022, 02:12 PM

Things are better today. The little bit of extra sleep helped, and I also took a shower before bed. Coping today with more work on organizing my life. Also need to start doing a deep clean on my place, so there's nothing left to do when I leave.

Mountaindewed · Jan 22, 2022, 05:49 PM

I just watched TV from 5:30AM-4PM. I don't know whats wrong with me just that I have not been feeling good for awhile and I have pain that sometimes is helped by tylenol and sometimes is not and a number of my blood levels are off. But my doctor did not respond yet. But the other doctor, a specialist who I mainly see, took a few days to respond when 2 of my levels were at heart attack/stroke level. So I guess I just have to wait. Covid sucks since it pushes regular stuff back.
