How are you coping today? #7

I have had an awful night. I had an argument with a guy over something so petty and he thought it was a good idea to talk garbage about people.

Worse, a rude woman I was talking to about the situation said that people always have the right to talk garbage about others. I told her that it was bullying. She got angry and said that me getting upset by words that someone said is not bullying, but being a “sissy”, then she told me to grow up and leave her alone.

This was despite the fact she wanted a conversation in the first place.

I'm coping by lounging around the house with an AC and loving just relaxing plus killing the boredom by playing around on the computer

Feeling much better. Depression just sort of evaporated.

Coping the same way Breton is.

I got my hair done this morning and it’s given me an almost unbelievable lift to my spirits. Partly looking my best but also a nice chat with the hairdresser I think. Me time.

I’m noticing I’m feeling more motivated to do stuff. I have some wood to cut and floors to clean and soup to make

I’m going to go look for some weeds to pull and hopefully tire myself out before it gets too hot.

Coping by avoiding the great outdoors today. Not driving with all the drinkers on the road today. Watched the parade from my window and will watch fireworks on TV. Just a laidback chill day

Coping by thinking about my apartment and about cleaning it this weekend. Want to have a nice fresh living space. Was really tired earlier, but I perked up a bit.

I’m trying to relax after falling down yesterday

I'm doing a lot better over past 3 days. The depression lifted. Taking it easy today.

I need to buy some items for a task, not really sure what I’m doing with one of them but going to give it a go. I got a few of my chores done yesterday but not all (the floors I’ll do later). I need to check in on my neighbour today too.

We’ve got a new government today, I’m feeling a bit apprehensive and underwhelmed- I’m at the stage where I’ve seen a lot of governments come and go. My young niece is excited about it though and that’s nice.

I'm doing reasonably okay today. The heat tires me. Having a beer to cope with it.

Floors done at last, ironing too, and some admin.

Emotionally I’m feeling okay, my neighbour has had a crisis and I could see it coming and was very concerned for her but unable to stop it but she’s in hospital now which is probably the best place.

Emotions have been high - just been so overwhelmed by my weight issue but trying to realize that I have so much to be grateful for.

Trying to physically tire myself out by cleaning and picking raspberries. I will probably skip the family social time this afternoon too… I don’t want to see anybody.

I don’t know, just by watching tv today. I’m very low energy and low spirit's. Just hanging in there.

I made myself get out of the house. I still feel very sad. But getting out did me some good.

I’m trying to keep my sister rudeness from being so personal

Today was busy (too busy at times) but that’s good.

I woke up late, but a phone call from my friend got me going and down to play dice games. I didn’t win but I had a good time. Got me out of my funk. But I don’t think I’ll go to bingo. Just not feeling it. I need to go pick up a library book and meds, but, bha humbug not feeling it.

This morning was really tough, but I pulled myself out of bed this morning with the help of a nice friend on the phone with me. I got out and caught an AA meeting and got lunch for myself. I am pushing through, trying my best to stay positive.

I spent all day sewing. It’s one of my happy places, even though the results weren’t as good as I hoped. I may be getting there?

Still feel down.

I admire you for doing this! I definitely should try to do some sewing too as it has a calming effect.

I feel alone.
