daily check in for women #2

My toothache is coming back. Not so bad at the moment but nearly always a low level pain in the background and it has its moments! I broke a tooth just before the first lockdown and my dentist retired a little before that, so I couldn’t have my last appointment with them. I just hope I get someone nice when I go again, cos I’m not looking forward to the extraction procedure (although I am in a way cos the end result must be better than this!)

I have to get dressed for an appointment, but I don't have the energy or motivation. I don't even want to go to this appointment.

Felt a bit anxious today. Still never got my period, at this point I don't think it's coming.

How has everyone been? I've been kind of depressed. I'm happy my period came on time though.

Overall my depression and anxiety have been better. I had one really bad day in two months. I'm taking Klonopin now for anxiety. It helps. Showering is still hard so I don't want to leave my house unless I have an appointment. I was supposed to visit my mom today. But I backed out cause I didn't feel well enough to get dressed. I feel bad about that. I have to shower this weekend though. I'm having a medical procedure done on Monday.

Hello lovely ladies!!

I've missed you! I've been unable to log in here from my mobile and only just got a chance to check in here today.
Lots going on. I'm back in therapy and psychiatry. Started me on Vraylar for bipolar2 hypomania presenting. I'm 2 weeks in now.
Unfortunately, I got a reminder that all of this care is supposed to be temporary and end in September...
well, something might end.
I don't know. I don't even want to speak or think of these things. if you ask me, my parents, my psychiatrist, any reasonable person
they'll tell you, I'm doing so much better!
My spouse still finds things to complain about. Oh, it breaks my heart! I don't want to change my way of living...but things are not healthy in
the relationship. i mean, we have "good days", but apparently that's because he keeps his mouth shut when things bother him...
but you see, they fester in him. tbh, he needs therapy, but he refuses. he denies it does any good. ugh! God help us!

ok, well, i want to end on a happier note. my "friend" (not exactly friends but we have chatted and I'm an adoring fan) is having success with chemo.
ok, it's a mixed note, he does have cancer, but he's doing well with chemo so there is much hope. Like I said, I'm a big fan and tbh, him and his music have
helped me so much this year. I...I'm speechless. lol

Hugs and love to all! <3

I'm getting by. Could be better but I've been worse in the past. Trying to count my blessings. My anxiety and depression have been moderate according to me, though my therapist still claims both are severe on the assessments she has done.

I quit vaping today. I had to. All my good devices broke and there's no way to get replacements. It's not worth it. It's just easier to quit.

I'm doing okay. Having some anxiety about moving but I think that's to be expected. Nothing too interesting to report really.

I'm pretty sad at the moment. I feel lonely. I had a busy day. It was good until the sun starting going down.

I recently started Neurontin and it's been making me drowsy. Also I'm feeling kind of down this evening.

I feel okay tonight. I'm just disappointed in some new games I purchased. They're supposed to be fun but they're stressful.

I feel less than as a woman in this household when this brother of mine has fixed up the room with more insulation and light switches and he got paid more than I did like he deserved to. I can't help but admire his work.

I can't sleep tonight. I worry about going to bed too early and waking up in the middle of the night.

I'm feeling anxious and depressed today.

I'm feeling lonely.

I'm feeling anxious.

Not doing great. Currently not coping in ways that I want to. I'm really missing my therapist that left about a month and a half ago. The medications help but every time I'm alone, I'm thinking of her, so I'm struggling again.

I'm having trouble sleeping. I only sleep 2 hours at a time. I've been up and down tonight. I hope to go back to bed soon. Maybe I will feel rested.

I'm actually doing decent all things considered.
