How are you coping today? #7

I have tummy pain, and I'm depressed.

Another day another incident…

Then hot on the tails an assessment for my therapy which went okay although I was tearful on and off throughout. Damn these tears.

I’m eating a lot of candy.

I’m

Mostly stayed in bed today. Very depressed. Sad.

Got out and joined other people instead of staying in my apartment. I washed clothes and put them away. That felt good. Now I gotta vacuum. And sweep.

I am doing fairly well, as my pain levels are not so bad today. It was nice to get a break from that for a change.

Today was okay, spent the afternoon volunteering and that went well which always gives me a lift, had a cuppa with my dad afterwards just the two of us and had a good chat.

Holding together pretty good. Feeling all rumbly because my ex met someone. I guess he should be able to move on too, I guess I didn't expect he ever would, which is totally selfish, lol. I am now convinced I will never see him again, which was okay with me for the most part, but now it feels so final.

Very, very tired today. Slept lousy, but did go downstairs to join the gang for a few games. Was more like being an observer since I didn’t really participate in the chat. Opted out of the movie. Just taking it easy, think I’ll just read for the rest of the night. But I’m hanging in there and coping. Will be looking forward to bed tonight. .

Drinking a Mountain Dew. Might take another Advil if this stupid headache doesn’t go away. 4 more hours to go…

I was nervous and told part of my story in a forum on another site. I did not know it would impact me this harshly or have such an effect. It's supposed to make you feel better, they say. Well, I'm sure, as h-e-l-l don't. I am just angry and nervous

I vented to my family members about some of my more ridiculous customer interactions. At least it makes for good stories. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Not coping well at all.

Feeling pretty good, but my emotions are all over the place. Worried about my friend that reached out who wanted to go to a meeting tonight - but she hasn't answered my response to her text, so I don't know what's up with her. Other than that, feeling very fat and very ugly. Ugh, I hate this.

Oh I would love those stories I’m sure - I amuse my husband with work customer stories too!

I’m doing okay, work was meh, my supervisor is on holiday and the covering supervisor basically left me to do everything on my own so it was a bit of a slog.

For some reason it didn’t bother me too much, I’m thinking about my husband getting his staples out tomorrow thankfully.

By taking my rest day. Today s my lay around in pjs day. Take a shower and put new pjs on.

I just wish I can find, get to know, form friendship with one person - just one person in real life - who has the same basic interests as me. Someone who is actually interested in anything! Everyone I meet aren't interested in anything. It would change a lot in my life ie., loneliness. Not 'meetups' I can't do them.

I have one friend but I already want to get rid of him.

I couldn’t get interested in anything I had here. Sunday is my day off where I veg at home. But I was antsy and decided to go to appplebees for happy hour. Had appetizer and a drink while I read my book. Was just the thing I needed. Didn’t feel up to asking anyone to go with me. Saw a bunch of people in the community room on my way out but didn’t stop. Still my day off of people. Was the perfect jaunt

I started journaling about how I been feeling especially lately.

This has been a real miserable day. My way of coping has been completely dysfunctional. But I have no interest in doing anything that would make a little sense. So I've managed to make myself feel worse and worse and worse.

I was feeling depressed this morning but felt a little bit better after breakfast. Just when I was starting to feel a little bit better, some landscapers came and are cutting down bushes next door. A lot of noise with the chainsaws; and then they'll use the mulcher, which will make more noise.

I would feel so much better if only I didn't have to put up with so much noise around me. There's what I just mentioned, new development across the street, and houses being remodeled. Oh, there's the 4th coming up! Every night, lately, there's been all kinds of fireworks going on. I really hate this time of year!

I’m coping by getting my basic foods in. That means a trip to Walmart to get my tea and soy milk. I was out of milk and not enough tea for tomorrow so I really put that off. I couldn’t bear the thought of. Regular grocery shopping so I did that on line. I get it delivered this afternoon. Then I’m all set to hibernate the holiday. I cope with the fourth by staying in, not going to all those noisy parties and street fairs.

I am feeling pretty good. Fireworks aren't really an issue where I live, thank GOD! So grateful for that. It's funny, one neighbor said last year his wife went outside during the 4th and she said, "oooh where are the fireworks? I hear them, but where are they?" he said, "no, honey, those are gunshots!!" Not really funny, lol, but it is for me because it reminds me so much of New York!
