I just sat quietly and listened to some music for a while. Found it refreshing. Must not psych myself out from this though.

I am waiting for a medical test/biopsy and very anxious. I'm on a wait list for a cancellation, supposedly. But I don't have any kind of appointment at all yet. It's frustrating to have to wait when they've found an abnormality. I want to go back to college but I'm not willing to start until I know I don't have a major health issue to deal with.

That's a really difficult situation to be in. I'm sorry. I always get very anxious and stressed about medical problems, and having to wait in that state is the worst. Really hope a cancellation opens up soon.

I've been feeling restless and unsettled today. And that morphed into irritation and short-temperedness. Then I had a really unpleasant random interaction with a total stranger and I behaved in a way I regret (I lost my temper). I am disappointed in myself. This person was a jerk but then I responded like a jerk. And in so doing, I prolonged the interaction which served no purpose whatsoever and just made me feel really bad afterwards.

I had a choice and I could have walked away and said nothing. That would definitely have been the better choice. And I know that. But I couldn't help myself and my anger/reactivity got the best of me. I really regret how I handled this and I've been stewing over it all evening. Time to let it go and move on (and really try harder not to react if a similar situation arises again)

You know that saying… “no good deed goes unpunished” ?

Often very true.

Very well. Recovering from surgery with two weeks off. Much needed.

Not great. I've been irritable and bad-tempered today and I've really been trying to work on that. Coupled with adding a new psych med to the mix I've been doing better generally and especially with my irritability. But today it's reared it's head again. It's always a sign that I'm not doing well. Movement and exercise help burn off some of that energy but it's been very hot here today so that's been a challenge. I'm worried this means the "honeymoon period" of my new medication is over. Trying not to dwell on that though. One day at a time....

Just taking it easy. I had a bit of a difficult night but I watched Ballerina on Netflix and had a nap (halfway through) and so I'm okay, just need to catch up on some sleep and not do anything self-destructive.

Not coping all that well today. I suppose it will get better, but not at the moment it isn't.

I'm doing as little as possible after a horrible day yesterday. When I do too much and wear myself out my mental health collapses worse than my body. I really hate depression and anxiety more than the pain and limitations of multiple sclerosis. Mental torment is way worse than physical pain, imo.

Another job interview today. Not sure about it. Traveling north in 2 weeks to see a lot of family and friends. My parents can be triggering and I haven't seen them in 5 years. Bless me I must say! Trying to stay positive and get the vit D I need but the SAD is kicking me even down here in FL. I wake up and do not want to proceed past the coffee in my kitchen. NOt like the winter bipolars of the past but still a dead space feeling. Grateful for what I do have very much though. Hugz.

Something happened on Sunday, a health-related thing, which really triggered my anxiety. I had to go to the ER. I'm basically fine and it was a flare-up of a known condition I have. But it has really sent my anxiety into complete overdrive. Definitely a big setback. I'm trying to get back on track but I'm feeling a strong sense of dread and doom, and I find myself worrying and ruminating and obsessing and feeling anxious and scared a lot of the time. Trying to think like a warrior but still feeling like a helpless child.
