How are you coping today? #7

My emotions are fragile/weak right now.

I sympathize

Plenty of loves for a Breaking

I’m staying the course, not having mental and physical therapy. I am proud of myself that I was able to respond and not react as was advice I learned and I used it successfully!

I’m sorry that your not feeling well.

The reality of moving forward alone is very scary, but I accept it is what I must do.

Oh, my goodness, @TishaBuv, I'm so proud of you!! I'm wishing you wonderful luck with everything!!

I’ve had a lot to organise and think about but bit by bit it’s getting done, I do feel a little anxious though, about this and the state of the world generally.

My emotions are all over the place especially with my siblings and controlling all the time.

Not great.

Well, I messed up my exam today, but I find myself not caring. I ate a big meal. Now I'm gonna brush my teeth, clean the kitchen, journal, and go to bed soon after.

I'd have to say I'm coping pretty well as compared to when I haven't coped well. The contrast makes me feel very grateful.

I’m carelessly losing things left and right; first my jacket, now my ear buds. Maybe the earbuds were loose in the jacket. This makes me feel incompetent and want to cling back to him. I am still so mixed in my feelings. Looking forward to therapy today to delve in deeper. Plus, my mother discarded me yesterday, told me she never wants to speak to me again, because my sister fought with her and threw me under the bus including me in her criticism towards mom. Yes, we had a text discussing how difficult mom was being (she’s completely hysterical 24/7) but I said to not upset her any longer and let her act helpless. My sister couldn’t wait to call her and do just the opposite. It feels beyond awful to be trying to be an emotionally supportive daughter who is trying to help her situation in how I can and have her devalue and discard me. But I know now that if I call today, Mom will act like nothing happened. This is who she is. It took me until now to finally understand this and distance myself from the emotions.

I called her yesterday as though nothing had happened and she acted like nothing had happened. It took me all my life to finally learn this!

This morning I've tried a variety of things in order to get through sad & difficult & apprehensive moments. I succeed now & then, & other times fall apart, then bring myself a little ways back up again. So there is hope. I just keep trying.

I am new here and I’m glad I found this community.

I struggle on weekends because I’m reminded that I am alone. Today, I will do drive therapy to get out of my apartment where I tend to let my imagination get the better of me. I’m okay today, but I’m not doing great.

Thank you for joining us, @TekWriter! I hope you enjoy your drive!

I’m not feeling great - feeling a bit numb, I think it’s probably being distracted. I need to try to focus.

Feeling awful because of the mental and physical abuse I been receiving from my niece.

Same **** different day. I tried Dramamine ginger chews and saltine crackers as well. No luck.

I have no hot water. That will be fixed tomorrow. Setbacks like this throw me for a loop. I tend to want to just do nothing, until things are normal again. That's not a good way of coping.

I've been using meditation lately. Not in a strict regimented way but just to centre myself when thoughts start racing.

Crying fit meltdown free for over a month. It feels separate from me now, like idk what happened to me, like was that me it happened to? It’s hard to wrap my head around it happened.

Not a bad idea. I listen to meditation all the time.

I've been coping fine. Not panicking about much despite still having symptoms. And not getting annoyed at much of anything either.
