How are you coping today? #7

Brego · Jan 08, 2023 at 02:54 PM

Coping by reassuring myself many times that I do not want to online shop or date online and instead I do want to find websites which will occupy my time as in well-used time.

I visited my parents afterwards which was nice and then had to rush home to make food, eat and ready to sleep - one of those rushing about kind of days. It’s probably good that I don’t have time to overly dwell, that’s an unhealthy trait of mine. It’ll be nice to have some free time though.

I’m sorry that you’re tired and pain flared

I don't think I sent any huge red flags to anyone. I did end up only get it filled 2 days early. And I think the reason I have not been hungry and am losing weight is because when I do get hungry I have been eating legit meals instead of snacking. So instead of rushing off to the doctor again I should just take a closer look at my food log.

That is amazing

I’m sensitive to cigars and pipe cause migraine

it quite possible it could be the litter boxes or the chemical from fabric spray. The litter box messed with my allergies every time I clean it

I will survive but it is hard to do everything on my own.

I’m sorry that you’re feeling bad and disowned :sadhug I feel like that all the time

I started taking an increased dose of my ad starting yesterday. I *am* feeling better-ish, though yesterday it made me tired. It didn't make me tired today.

Its freezing here.

Sometimes we just need some motivation

I am so tired from going out to see my psychdoc. He told me to return in a month or sooner. I am stressed out but will survive.

Good luck

Keep trying don’t give up
