How are you coping today? #7

Hope you can sort something out, normally preventative medicine is given when you’re having to take relief meds more often. Good to take a long a record of how many migraines you’ve been getting.

so that's a win.

I just had a really rough patch of hallucinations and agitation/racing thoughts/edginess, but some music, a cold shower, talking to a crisis line, and using the 5 senses grounding technique helped while waiting 45 minutes for a PRN to kick in.

I slept really good. My pain has been pretty much controlled. My food restriction is hard today and I have therapy tonight and I know I'll get mine if I don't eat something. I could use a long nap right now instead of food

I'm feeling much better today after my little 36 hour emotional meltdown. I'm still a bit sore from it but I've been out shopping and done some drawing. I'm tired but I don't feel like sleeping in the day time, again.

I'm at the bottom, and sinking.

I ate 4 popsicles to cool off from a heated exchange with a very unpleasant customer. This is how the conversation ended:

Very unpleasant customer: “I’m going to file a complaint!”
Me: “So do it.”
Very unpleasant customer: muttering expletives while storming out.

Little do they know, the complaint comes right back to our office. Now we get to call them & tell them too bad, so sad, but you’re not getting special treatment, sorry, not sorry. I just hope my manager steps up & does their job. I can dream…

Agghh I hate it when this happens, sending hugs.

I’m drinking more coffee than usual.

I took myself out and was feeling okay after taking in Uber home

Looking up. Still full of blah.

I’m drinking Baileys Irish cream in my coffee this morning.

One of my kittens has a cold again. Or, it could be the same URI but progressed to pneumonia? Not sure as cats tend to hide their true illness and feelings until it's too late. Will take him to the vet in a week if he doesn't improve.

I am alright. Having a little trouble with my eyesight. But I am in a good place mentally. So grateful to be that way.

Keeping busy, a little achy but back at work and feeling positive about that (mostly!)

I cried so much i was about to

Obviously having mental health difficulties is a continuous battle but coping well and improving with time.

Avoiding the world

Oh @Gasplessy, I hope one day soon your heart will heal.Awakening to ourselves, our past actions, can be very painful seeing how we did hurt others...I understand. I think alot of people on this site empathise with you and feel for what you're going through Gasplessy. I just want you to know you're not alone the world over, in that respect. We live and we learn. Let the pain burn itself out.😔🙏

I’m trying to release trapped emotions in healthy way

I’m

i have had so much rejection lately. i feel like a total loser. friends keep making excuses not to get together with me. i reached out to my cousin to just say hi. i have tried so hard to be her friend. she said she would call me back but never did. my sister warned me about her but i always try to give people a chance. i try to be so nice to people so not sure why i am being treated this way. i just want people to care about me as much as i do them but i guess you can't force that. i have one true friend but she is a bit of a loner. so am taking tomorrow off to go to the shelter to hug some animals.

It's 5am and since I've woken up I've already had 4 swigs of vodka so that's how I'm coping

I’m dealing with a tricky interpersonal situation, I’m not sure what the right thing to do is so I’m taking each day as it comes. One bit at a time.

I was very tired today and that makes my mental health worse so I had to nap listening to Tara Brach (she has a very relaxing voice) and watched some Netflix etc. Not a great day but that's okay.

Oooo today not doing so well. Physically that is. Not coping well, here it’s 11 am and I’m still in my pjs, still not functioning
