How are you coping today? #7

Buffy01 · May 10, 2023, 09:35 AM

I vented out

to a couple online friends

Rose76 · May 10, 2023, 07:03 PM

I woke at 4:30 a.m. Instead of tossing and turning in bed, I got up and started doing stuff. Thanks to that early start, I got so much done. I might become a morning person.

I’m looking at memes & loving it.

That sounds absolutely lovely.

I’m wondering if the struggles I have aren’t helped by technology, even here. I’m grateful for here and I think there are many wonderful people but I wonder if I rely on here and use technology as an escape too much. I’m realising most of my contact with real life friends and even family is on my phone now. I didn’t know this, it’s crept up on me.

I’m considering a technology cull, or at least a fast. I need to find a way of coping with my anxiety and my life issues without technology distractions.

I'm struggling a bit today, afraid I'm spending too much money without a source of income.

TishaBuv · May 11, 2023, 05:07 PM

I feel like I had some strange nightmarish dream I’ve woken up from.

Buffy01 · May 13, 2023, 11:59 AM

I’m trying to

feel better

about my life :confused.

None of my :hug coping mechanisms aren’t

working.

TheGal · May 13, 2023, 10:33 PM

I am not coping well at all. I feel I am breaking down.

If I had the money, I would leave.

Nammu · May 14, 2023, 12:42 PM

Actually I’m coping pretty well.

Deilla · May 16, 2023, 09:46 PM

I'm reading some books to cope.

Rose76 · May 16, 2023, 10:48 PM

I'm afraid I haven't been coping very effectively today. I can't seem to avoid putting my foot in it. I think my best strategy is to shut up.

Buffy01 · May 19, 2023, 09:23 AM

I’m trying to distress my life

from narcissistic spoiled jealousy siblings who always find ways to put me dow

Rose76 · May 20, 2023, 05:12 AM

I'm not coping all that well.

Buffy01 · May 21, 2023, 07:44 AM

I had to go for walks :hug and remember my yoga breathing :grouphug after being yelled at

by multiple people

TishaBuv · May 22, 2023, 07:13 AM

I’m having a lot of anxiety during this difficult time for me. I am putting together a jigsaw puzzle to help my mind focus.

Brego · May 22, 2023, 02:11 PM

Playing on my new laptop with Matrix Ressurections playing on the computer hooked up to the TV. Next I will be probably watching Avatar - the first one. I keep telling myself I will do away with dating apps but the smart part of me is just letting the issue rest. I want to maybe let it play it's cards until I come to a more resolute answer about these things.

LadyShadow · May 22, 2023, 04:39 PM

Mood is up and down a bit. But happy to be working, happy to be online.

Rose76 · May 23, 2023, 05:26 AM

I have been feeling unwell, physically and mentally. I'm dragging myself through these days. I half-wish I wasn't alive.

Rose76 · May 23, 2023, 11:32 PM

I hope the meds I just took will put me to sleep. I'll cope better tomorrow with some rest.

Gasplessy · May 27, 2023, 12:25 PM

Very difficult lately

Possible trigger:

Been asking God to take me away since 2018 and it keeps getting worse. I am sorry, i can't understand what happened to my life
Have i ever been good? ...maybe ten years ago i was still good... but then... I got punished

I try to make little good action every day bu it is too late now

Yes, that almost always is helpful for me.

You are in my prayers tonight.

Was coping okay (cleaning, cooking, thinking about fixing things) until my (poor) mother returned home just saying "That boy is always smiling and kind", referring to a neighbour my age who is moving in the nearby apartment
I started saying "Well i am sorry but I too used to be active and smiling just some years ago" and she was sad but also kinda gave me a silent treatment
So i tried to stop but we had a discussioni and i eventually screamed "what do you want?"
Then realized i have just been a beast for six to ten years straight and wish this wasn't true
