daily check in for women

all

I don't have a spouse but I'm sorry yours let you down.

I'm doing alright. I got a new volunteer position. I signed in and was all ready to work only for them to have nothing for me to do. So now I'm back here browsing the forums as usual. Maybe something will come up later.

pretty much the same pain, and the same depression

we also went in to third national lockdown last night at midnight so that's us basically shut until easter. mcdonalds is staying open this time, be greatful for small liberties.. it was inevitable though.

I'm hoping to get some things done today. I have quite a list.

invite me over?

it would be better to do stuff than sit here with a face like a wet weekend

Thank you for the offer, @raging vortex! I will imagine you helping me. Maybe you can actually send good vibes across the ocean. Bless your heart!

I have been busy with chores today. I am tired and ready for a break.

Edit: I never did take my break and now I'm dealing with trying to get my meds. I don't want to leave the house. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever.

I'm doing okay. I'm feeling kind of tired today. I'm about to do some chores.

I decided to cut my hair today. It's been bothering me. I'm using a razor comb. If it's a little uneven, that's fine. At least this is better than the buzz cut I did last time. Lol!

I need to cut my hair at somep oint.

been saying it for ages.. it's so long now

started the day in absolute agony. stomach, back, legs, getting dressed was so hard

feeling a bit better re: pain, still depressed though

I feel anxious today. I have chores I have to deal with but I don't have the energy or motivation to do them. I will just have to force myself. Or tell myself I'll get a reward for doing it.

when I showered today I tried a new lemon scented soap

and guess what?

it actually smelled like lemon. yeah.... I'm shocked too. most of these scented products only have a bit of scent (if that), but you can really smell this
one

I've had a difficult morning. I'm trying to relax now.

hope you are okay deila
as for me... not much to report today. when is their?

Thanks! Today is better.

I'm just working on some chores. It's early in the morning. I'll go to bed soon. But later, I'll have to deal with even more chores. I'm not happy about that.

on the forum currently.

buffy the vampire slayer is on tv

started watching it, but lost interest and now it's just background noise while I am posting

I haven't been doing that great recently, but this morning brought me a lift. I hope you are doing ok.

I'm doing chores this morning. I hope to get them out of the way early so I can enjoy my day. I hope today is a good day. I've been really stressed lately.

I've been sort of absent from myself. I hope others here are doing ok. At the moment, I am just trying to catch up, so to speak, & hopefully can make some improvements for today.

I've been using my walker more and more. It's helping. And I scheduled some appointments to do something about the pain I'm in. I need two injections.

I've been losing weight. I've lost 11 pounds so far. I'm walking on my own with much less pain. I just increased my Effexor. Today is day 3. I feel much better. I'm having a good day.

Tonight was a little difficult for me. But I just read about two DBT skills that seem silly, but they worked. I did a half-smile and I turned my palms up while extending my arms. I took it one step further by closing my eyes and breathing deeply. I don't understand it, but it shifted my mood. I was able to play my game and have fun. Now, I am motivated to take a shower. I'm thinking I will put my new clothes on.

@Breaking Dawn and @raging vortex thank you so much for making me feel loved and appreciated here. ❤ (and all of you. They just happened to have tagged me)

I know I don't get here quite as often anymore, so that was a long ago post. Haha But well here I am. Hello!

I'm actually here today to share my friend a link about ADHD that describes things I've been going through with nearly 98.9% accuracy! Very interesting! So meds for this may be needed, but I'm hoping to wait till after Covid goes away before experimenting again.

I'm hanging in. Pms once again kicked my *** moodwise, and today and last night I've been suffering the physical pain. (Which actually tends to take my mind away from mental or emotional pain, so that is better). But yea, pain, and what do you know? My painkillers expired last June! 🤦*♀️ So I'm in bed. Ugh! Sucks!! But I must be grateful I can actually take the rest I require. I really don't know how other women can do it! Maybe it's not as bad or is better managed by meds for them, but this is seriously debilitating for me! 😢

But we carry on, right? Ugh! Lol 😊

Hi, @giddykitty!! So glad you are here posting again!!

I've been ill today. I didn't take care of my sugar yesterday and I'm paying for it today. I've slept most of the day. My cats have been with me, which is a comfort.
