I had a good day and evening.A few bad memories came back from my PTSD symptoms today but using this forum helped me work through them.
I feels good when I am emotionally processing,like I am alive and healthy emotionally.
I went to my favourite coffee shop for breakfast,I had cinnamon,soya milk coffee and toast,butter and jam.I bought a muffin home with me for mid morning coffee and snack.

I got all my online bills paid and had a relaxing afternoon too.Quite a pleasant day not too bad considering the PTSD.

Sorry about the PTSD. My own has hovered deep in the background lately but can be triggered anytime.

Thanks for asking. My day has been nice. I have worked on some art, written in my journal, and completed a few CBT tasks from my book. Yes at 4pm it's still early, but I am enjoying a beer with an early dinner of spicey spaghetti.

My day has been pretty boring. Just watched tv. Spent some time trimming my dogs toenails and washing a couple loads of laundry.

The last few days for me have been interesting. I haven't slept but maybe 4-5 hours total in the last 3 days

I woke up feeling pretty numb, which felt like a warning sign on some level, considering I usually only feel numb like that before a deep depression. I didn't manage to get anything done for the first half of the day, because of that. Then I walked into my bathroom and felt pretty disgusted by how dirty & grimy I had let it become, so I went on a cleaning spree. I'm not 100% satisfied w/it, but it looks better than it did before.

Now I'm just listening to some music and trying to unwind so I can go to sleep.

Today I had the food shop delivered and put it away.Then I did the washing up,then I made vegetarian moussaka enough for me and extra to take to my mum when I go see her tomorrow.There is a bit more washing up to do now.I dried the laundry and put it away too.
I have been a bit low but bearable,unlike the last few days which have been heavy depression and bad moods.
I did get angry today cos catalogue brochures addressed to me keep turning up through the post,I've never used these companies and I don't know how they get hold of my name and address and why I end up on their mailing lists but it is so damn annoying,it made me angry,no sooner do I get my name removed off one of them another one shows up.
I am going to just relax tonight and try and clear my head and not be anxious and worried.I am having this free floating anxiety and worry,I don't know what about,impending doom,nothing specific that I am aware of.

I am looking forward to visiting my mum tomorrow and also the big day out,to see a couple of films and have a restaurant meal with my niece on Saturday coming.

It was an extremely stressful day. I met with an assessment counselor and he did a psych history and since I have a long painful history it brought back a lot of memories that were hurtful. It left me very sad and upset. And I found that I won't be able to see a psychiatrist for at least a month. Quite a disappointment.

Continuing from past few days, been worried all day as still unable to find a job. Feeling more so when withdrawing cash as the savings are getting thin.

Practising audio transcribing as a way for make money and feeling discouraged after seeing the result. But will do again tomorrow, and so on.

Finally, manage to distract for a while by reading several mangas which gave me a little bit of positivity.

Well my sleeping has been off, so I woke up kind of grumpy. But I had a nice shower and some breakfast with some caramel coffee so it was a nice treat. Now I am burning some incense trying to relax and enjoy my Saturday.

But I am feeling good actually, which is nice.

We had 2 inches of snow last night. Where I live the policy is 5+ inches we have the plow and have to move our car. I got up and saw there was only a few inches and went about my day in my PJs.

Some bossy guy comes to my door and bangs on it. I open it up and he goes
"gotta move your car"

I question this as I thought we only did it for 5+ inches, he goes, "the plow is here I don't know what to tell you".

He just angered me so much. I said "you can tell me why I need to move my car."

He goes... "give me your keys and I will do it."

No.

I got dressed and move the car but it was NOT a good start to they day. Why are people such bossy nazis. Who made him the boss of me? I swear if he had just said, hi, could you move your car? I would have been much more open to it.

Describing it to an 'outsider' it would sound like I hadn't done anything at all but I am exahausted from accomplishing so much. I read two books today; and, between CBT work, note taking on the books, and journalling I must have spent several hours writing.

Calm for the most part. Did some housework and wrote a couple of poems.

It was actually okay.

I've had a really tough, emotional week and crying almost every day, so today was a relief.

Spent the morning with my partner. Saw a beautiful Blue Fairywren on the way home, have had tea, done some reading, and spent time with my cat. There were a few moments where I could feel the sadness touching the edges, but it was mostly really relaxed.

I am feeling much better now.It is the time I usually ring my mum but I am not going to,I am enjoying feeling the power behind that.I am having a quiet,peaceful day,nursing my hurt feelings again.It isn't too cold yet,got the patio door open,the cats are in and out and enjoying that.I slept earlier this morning again,I had dreams that my narc sister was forcing herself on me and into my home bringing bags of rubbish with her and stealing my phone so that I can't ring the police.In the dream she gives me fleas too which I catch off her her.Yikes strong stuff.

My day has been terrible. My husband and I got into an argument that ended badly with him threatening to move out. All over a silly bag of dog food. Woe is me.
