How are you feeling right now #6?

annoyed that the pizza takeout is closed and I'm going to be having a rank shop baught one

Much improved after a trying morning. Looking forward to a nice evening movie and a big helping of cheesecake.

Mostly worried.

Ford Puma - Cheesecake... yummmmmm! My favorite!

I am tired and struggling here. Had some sort of stomach bug or food poisoning and was really sick all weekend, took yesterday off, but am back to work today. I don't feel recovered. I get sick feeling with a lot of stomach pain when I eat... though tea with honey seemed to miraculously help earlier today. Still, I'm hungry, but scared to eat now.

And work... I feel grateful to have a job that lets me work from home, but my job is so incredibly depressing. I feel stupid and useless and honestly, like I've just wasted my entire life. It's terrible.

Oh, and even though the courts are closed right now (due to covid-19), I just got a summons for late April. But I was literally just there for jury duty in August. I tried to call, but of course nobody answered, because the courts are closed.

Given the number of cases we're having in my area has been growing a lot each day (more than 1000 as of today), I'm wondering if I should just wait... if they end up extending the closure, it could end up with me given credit for that date without having to go.

On the other hand, the courts reopen about 2 weeks before my date - if I wait until then to call again - I don't know if that's too short of a time period to notify them. I definitely don't want to sit in a room full of hundreds of people (!!!) in late April, I'm 1000% sure it will be worse by then.

I really want to move to another state. And that's just not possible right now with everybody on lock down. So, back to being depressed.

Right now I am feeling like a penguin, wishing I could fly.

I feel good this afternoon

I feel a little sad and lonely. I feel useless and worthless.

I am upset because my husband is watching the news 24/7, and he's not doing well mentally. I told him he needs distractions, yet he keeps watching the news, which I believe is worsening his mental state. I, myself, am taking long breaks from the news in order to maintain my sanity and to stay grounded. I am listening to ocean waves on Youtube, I am watching meditative videos, I am listening to uplifting music and am doing anything to help myself to feel OK and stable. But my husband? He's drowning in all of this and it's very upsetting. If I mention it to him, he gets more upset.

tired......

Courageous?

Exhausted emotionally. Sad, scared, aggravated, and at times hopeless.

*hugs* Have Hope, I get the thing with the news. I've been getting sucked in to it, and it's definitely not good for one's mental health. I keep reminding myself that, at this point, they're not likely to give me actual new, useful information. I know what to do (stay home, wash my hands, avoid other people).

So I'm trying to limit it too.

I'm worried for a lot of people. And tired tonight, didn't really do anything I had planned to after work around the house, and am getting ready to crash I think. Didn't get much sleep last night, so hoping tonight is a little better.

I just had this dream where I was going to the doctor because I had cellulites again. I woke up scratching the spot like crazy where I had cellulitis in November. Now is not the time to have medical problems. Hopefully it’s nothing.

I slept fairly well. So I feel half-way decent.

I feel good this afternoon

I feel awful this evening. I've had a difficult day. I tried to cope with an unpleasant situation but only made myself sick. I'm still struggling with that. And I'm stressed about how this virus outbreak is impacting my life. I need medical treatments and I can't get them.

Up very early here cant quiet sleep these days but not feeling too bad. Things are certainly starting to look worrisome in the world these days.

Feeling ok right now. God bless all of you, dear friends!!

I feel good this morning

Tired. So tired. And a little stressed. And thinking it should be Friday today.

I haven't slept well the last few nights, and last night was super restless, lots of waking up, and just not good sleep. I got up early to get to the grocery store (which was actually pretty awesome - not crowded, they pre-sanitized the carts, and they wrapped the cookies/muffins/etc individually - so less chance of them getting infected by people grabbing them).

And I'm stressed. On Friday, I talked to a therapist/coach about meyers-briggs stuff. I found her website, and it was my first time talking to her - and just a one-off consult to try to figure out my type. I'm glad I did it, it was interesting... but I'm a bit stressed/surprised that I got an email today asking if I thought the type fit me.

Having her reach back out is stressful to me, I'm not sure how to respond. I think she might be hoping that I engage her more for either coaching or phone therapy, but I don't think I want to do that right now. I'm just... really exhausted from all the mundane life things going on, and it kind of feels like one more thing to have to deal with. I don't know. Ugh.

And I got summoned for jury duty in late April. The courts are currently closed, and I shouldn't be on the list (I was just there in August). I don't think there's anyone to call - and I'm hoping they might just stay closed through the end of April, not sure if that's realistic. If I call, I don't think anyone is there to answer the phones, but I'm not sure... and if I call, they may just defer me to August. I don't know what to do. It's so much stress. I just want to sleep.

Oh, and I burst into tears driving home from the grocery store this morning, because all of the virus-stuff at the store just... overwhelmed some part of me.

So, yeah. Tired.

Anxious this afternoon

I’ve felt ok today. Only bits and pieces of anxiety. I took a long nap though.

I got to talk to my sister tonight, so even though I've had a terrible headache all day... I feel happy.

I really got lucky in the sister department - she's awesome and we laugh a lot together.

Anxious. Information overload. Also, battle fatigue. Very tired. Having trouble adjusting to the new normal Covid 19 Reality. All of this reminds me of 9/11 with regards to constant stress, anxiety, media information overload.

I guess I'm doing reasonably fine. Hang in there everybody.
