How are you coping today? #7

FloatThruThis · Sep 17, 2023 at 10:08 AM

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.

Discombobulated · Sep 17, 2023 at 12:31 PM

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

Gasplessy · Sep 24, 2023 at 04:23 PM

I cried so much i was about to

Possible trigger:

throw up for the intensity
I just wish i could go 8 years back or so
I have been such a monster and my family didnt deserve that

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

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 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

Discombobulated · Sep 29, 2023 at 05:48 AM

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.

SpaghettiLegs · Sep 29, 2023 at 10:06 AM

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.

Nammu · Sep 29, 2023 at 10:58 AM

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

Brego · Oct 01, 2023 at 09:37 PM

I just sat quietly and listened to some music for a while. Found it refreshing. Must not psych myself out from this though.

I am waiting for a medical test/biopsy and very anxious. I'm on a wait list for a cancellation, supposedly. But I don't have any kind of appointment at all yet. It's frustrating to have to wait when they've found an abnormality. I want to go back to college but I'm not willing to start until I know I don't have a major health issue to deal with.

That's a really difficult situation to be in. I'm sorry. I always get very anxious and stressed about medical problems, and having to wait in that state is the worst. Really hope a cancellation opens up soon.

I've been feeling restless and unsettled today. And that morphed into irritation and short-temperedness. Then I had a really unpleasant random interaction with a total stranger and I behaved in a way I regret (I lost my temper). I am disappointed in myself. This person was a jerk but then I responded like a jerk. And in so doing, I prolonged the interaction which served no purpose whatsoever and just made me feel really bad afterwards.

I had a choice and I could have walked away and said nothing. That would definitely have been the better choice. And I know that. But I couldn't help myself and my anger/reactivity got the best of me. I really regret how I handled this and I've been stewing over it all evening. Time to let it go and move on (and really try harder not to react if a similar situation arises again)

You know that saying… “no good deed goes unpunished” ?

Often very true.
