Flu-like symptoms, but unlike any in the past, with a strange painful throat and congestion. Been looking to get tested for COVID, but not everyone who wants a test can get a test... still.

Trying to get out of a big funk! Had a tooth extracted Monday which had an abscess and numbing did not work

I got out of bed at 8AM this morning, which is a little bit later for me than usual. But that's OK. I didn't feel like getting out of bed because I felt so depressed. I felt like I had an emotional hangover. Last week was very weird and not so great.

As of now I've lost an only friend I had, though as of now I'm feeling guilty that I let him go, and thinking of going back with him. The last time we spoke, he said that he doesn't do anything all day and not much people contact. He's very old and can't see very well now. So I don't know. He hadn't been very nice to me the last couple of times we talked. Also the Jacuzzi at where I live is closed now, and that was another valuable tool to help me through life.

This coming Wednesday I will have a blood test to see how I stand with my health. I hope I won't have to be on medication again. It's been nice being off of it.

I feel Okay. I took care of my big chore. I have a new one that just came up. I'm too tired to deal with it. I may wait until tomorrow. I just want to rest today.

I got a call from my sister today. It was later than I wanted it to be. It went alright but not real great. I spoke to her son today for the first time in over 14 years. He sounded so different.

Took a long bike ride today. And then I did some small shopping after that. I got in the Jacuzzi at where I live tonight. It's the last time for me to go in there for at least 3 weeks because of the order to close it due to COVID.

I'm still feeling bad about letting my friend go. I get urges to call him but I'm afraid to get into that cycle again. I miss him because he was all that I had. If I had others, I wouldn't have bothered with him. Plus he wouldn't need me if he wasn't in such bad shape. Though as of now, he's at least a little bit better off than I am socially.

Going to become an aunt again to my first nephew. Had a most delicious meal prepared for me, socialized a bit, actually walked through the grocery store with a friend AND made it to the register with little conflict. Completely full after dinner with no need for dessert or late night snacks. Started painting today and am happy with the difficulty level of the project. Began pricing out next DIY project with support from my family. Lots of pets and praise for my elder pup. Might be loosing my third client this year RIP Max and Sparkles

I am feeling so isolated and upset.. the silence is deafening here at home. Feels like I can't reach out to anyone (although I tried) because they're sick of me.

[will19]

Today was a pretty down day emotionally. It seems like there's even less people at work today than in the recent past. The moods at work were very low.

I got a gift in the mail by my sister. She said that she was going to send me something. I was surprised that it came so quickly. She didn't mention sending to me yesterday.

Tonight I feel very down. The Jacuzzi at where I live is closed now and I really miss it. And I'm still feeling bad about my friend and I being apart now. Those were the two tools that got me though my depression and now they're gone.

[Deilla]

I feel tired and stressed.

[Breaking Dawn]

I have not been doing well lately, but this morning I am feeling so much better. I'm really glad about this.

I am struggling to function today. I don't feel well physically and am getting really stressed about not having worked for such a long time. What started as a short break has turned into a long one and it is hard to face reality.

I'm sorry that you are struggling right now. I hope that everything goes well. I'll keep you in my prayers.

I feel the same way myself.

But that is in the past, TIme to move FORWARD!

I will be seeking confirmation that MBSR is the best thing for me right now. I will ask tomorrow, and I Need it. I ordered a meditation cushion and backpressure point thing. to help my back to heal.

I have been doing a lot lately and now I need to catch up. Tomorrow I am off, but I need 2.5 hours of training to do. I need to learn how to set realistic goals.

I feel like I need to sleep . Maybe I'll go to sleep early. I still have masks to make, but that can wait for the morning.

I suffer from back pain myself. So I understand how you feel. Take it easy on yourself.

The maintenance man had come in the room before I got there to get some masks. He noticed that some mice had gotten into the cabinet. They had chewed up some paper. I didn't notice that when I had put the masks in a couple of weeks ago.

It seems pretty noisy tonight at my place. I think there's one guy who is talking on a cell phone. He's pretty loud and I don't like him that much.

I completely understand how you feel about the confusion about the mask. Sorry to hear about the mices.

[Buffy01]

I been feeling really depressed again. Nothing that I am doing is making me feel better.

[Breaking Dawn]

Ups & downs but mostly downs. I was having some difficult downs. But today is different & better.

[will19]

Feeling very down today. Not much going on at work and no one to talk to there. It didn't used to be like that. If it were not for the Pandemic but things are the same as they are now with work and my area where I live at, I'd be planning to leave it all. So I feel stuck.

[Deilla]

I'm feeling better. I'm more hopeful.

I'm happy that you are handling your anxiety better. Wish that I could say that for myself.
