I hate that I try to have a good day and feel good but then something happens to take me out of my bubble. I won't go into detail. But now I need to do something to soothe myself.

I pretty much felt lonely all day. But I did try to distract myself with activities. I guess now I just need to go to bed. Not sure what else I can do.

Sometimes, when I feel like that, I watch youtube videos of puppies or panda or cheetah cubs and I feel better, connected to the animals, maybe.

That's a good approach. I know sometimes when I cuddle with my pets, I feel like I have great companionship. And that helps.

I feel a little better this morning. I'm ordering breakfast. I feel like some good comfort food will help me. I'm a little restless. I could use some more sleep too. I might try to do a meditation later this morning.

Meditation really helps me a lot. I do it when I run and ride my bike and stuff.

Hearing some voices, maybe a man and a woman or maybe two men like from a tv but no tv is on. I can't quite make out what they are saying, I sense they are talking about me, maybe spying on me. But I also know that this could just be in my head. I talk to Pdoc on Wednesday.

Well, the thing is, I (& probably others here, too) need a voice whisperer. Someone who can calm them (the voices) & help them (& us) sleep.

I've had 2 naps today. It was nice but something feels off. I'm trying to relax with little activities. But part of me feels quilty because I didn't shower today and I did no housework. I'm just not motivated. I guess I need to show myself some compassion and try again tomorrow. Hope everyone is well and is able to sleep tonight.

I have to stop agreeing with everyone about basically everything. I guess I'm a pushover and am wishy-washy about everything. That's no good. I wish I could wave a magic wand and be instantly better from that tomorrow. But it isn't possible.

I'm okay. I'm stressed about work a bit because I'm not able to complete some of my tasks (waiting on other's to be able to complete). Sleep is good. Voices are okay.

I'm feeling better this afternoon. I did a few chores and played my game, all of which helped put me in a good mood.

Doing better these days. Haven't though about dropping out of school lately. I think therapy is working.

I was having a sort of good day until my cat got sick again. It's Okay. I'm taking her to the vet on Tuesday. I'm just afraid they'll give me pills again to give her. She's a mild-mannered cat. I guess it takes practice. She let me give them to her before. I guess I can do it again. I just have to think positive. I am worried about her though.

Thank you! Her name is Jazzy. I think of her as my miracle cat. She was found abandoned on a busy street crossing a bridge.

I am less anxious about her appointment now. I was able to bathe this evening and wash my hair. For me, that is half the battle when it comes to making an appointment. So all I have to worry about on Tuesday is getting her in the carrier. I think I can do this now. And I know I can deal with the treatment plan.

@Deilla how did Jazzy's appointment go? Is she feeling better? My cat Esther I have had to give pills to before (antibiotics) but sometimes they give me antibiotics that I can give her with a syringe. Neither is exactly easy but the syringe is a bit easier than the pills. She spit out one and I couldn't find it but she took all the rest of them. Now if I had to try to give them to my other cat, Amelia, I'd probably end up all scratched up. She's never scratched me but she is super independent and doesn't like to be held or anything like that. I'd have to hide it in her food or something! I hope Jazzy is feeling better!

Hi! I wasn't able to make the appointment. I was too anxious. But I'm taking her in the morning when there's no traffic. I already got dressed and ready. I just need to finish up in the morning, get my cat in the carrier and go. I feel better about tomorrow but there still is some anxiety. Yea, I have another cat that's like that. Very independent. He doesn't like to be held. But he's been good about eating his meds with his food. Jazzy can taste it in hers. I've had some luck with pill pockets.

Thanks for checking in with us.

I've had a tough couple of days. I took my cat to the vet and got some medication for her. One is a stool softener. I was able to give that with food. Next, I have to give her the antibiotic. I'll try mixing it with a wet treat. She seems to be doing much better. The vet gave her her pain pill. I'll give that again in the morning. I'm very sad and feel lonely tonight. I've been struggling with this and I've had no family members to talk to. And my online therapist has been out of town. It doesn't matter what it is, whenever I have a problem, there's no one there for me. I'm afraid I'll be alone for the rest of my life.
