How are you coping today? #8

I been feeling really terrible today

I’m having a slow lazy start to my day and it’s suiting me fine.

Im new here, and trying to figure everything out here is overwhelming! It will take a long time to get used to

Hanging in there knowing Monday various and sundry social stressors will be over with (for now). Monday is going to be a great day, if for no other reason than sweet relief. Ugggh.

I tried to do some organizing and cleaning

Doing okay, overcoming some worries by keeping busy, work, volunteering.

Talking to ChatGPT and reading a book about the Japanese Americans put in concentration camps in 1942. That really puts my problems in perspective.

Drowning. But I know better days are coming.

Watching the scene from Step Brothers (2008) where Dale punches Derek in the treehouse to prepare for a family social gathering this evening.

Focusing on breathing deeply.

Not well. I've been without phone service for what feels like an eternity, and now I see a member on here I enjoyed deleted their account.

I have been very jumpy for the past few days

Focusing on breathing deeply.

I decided to watch a movie to get my mind off my problems

Trying not to glom onto this bad mood and make it my whole identity.

Vented to my family members about work stuff and watched some inspiring videos on YouTube.

Feeling tired taking it easy on myself, did some cooking which I enjoy.

I’m just taking up space, and breathing. Worrying which does no good.

I vented to my elderly neighbors and I feel that I have been given some really good advice

I decided to vent one of my sisters today.

Wish I was coping better today but feel lonely, Can't get used to not having my friends around the corners anymore. Feel like I don't have the energy to start new friendships and where do you start to make them. So it makes for lonely days

I can feel the depression starting to sink in. Between politics, life stuff, and a big meeting I had with our local transportation dept. Being disabled, not allowed to drive for over 18 years, life is getting harder not smoother. I hate this feeling

I can relate. People don’t reciprocate friendship and ghost me all the time. It does take energy and time to make friends, only for me to be abandoned. I don’t even have an emergency contact yet people expect me to have one. Holidays are especially brutal along with weekends. And I live in an apartment building with walls made of paper.

I can hear my neighbors talking and laughing with their guests. The guy above me is always having guests and I hear the noise and constant walking back and forth. How can one person know so many people? They spend the night too, staying for days or weeks.

Taking an Advil for the headache I woke up with and commiserating with my family members about how much we all hate fireworks.

talked to an online friend about my really bad day.
