I am so sorry you are struggling, Marilyn. But we are here for you! I see it is getting kind of late in the UK at the moment. Do you think you will be able to sleep tonight, given your earlier napping?

Coping well. Trying to forgive people in my heart who intentionally hurt me and didn’t ask forgiveness.

I’m being assertive. Like at the doctors. I did ok at work. I coped fine I just felt ****** all day. They taught me in treatment centers as a teenager how to cope under stress though. Some days are easier then others.

I told myself today not to be in a bad mood and I wasn’t. I don’t know. I wasn’t feeling much emotionally today except some slight anxiety about work tomorrow. Right now I just feel blah about everything. But I coped fine today.

Just, uh, doing the best I can.

Not to good actually. I’m trying not to sleep all day because sadly that is how I deal with extreme stress 😞. The hits keep coming and I can’t seem to deal with them fast enough so it’s just easier to sleep.

Sad reality that he abandoned us.

TishaBuv · 06:49 AM

Reeling from another trauma. No matter what I did, it was unavoidable trauma.

That’s not completely true. If I completely let them roll over me; my pride, my values, my soul... then I may have avoided the trauma of his abandonment.

I think I have acted responsibly under difficult conditions.

randomer123 · Oct 25, 2019 at 08:01 AM

Trying to ignore the baseless insults, otherwise fine.

TishaBuv · Oct 25, 2019 at 02:09 PM

Better. Waking requires some reflection on the trauma, coffee and meds. But had a nice day so far. Moving forward, enjoying life.

bpcyclist · Oct 25, 2019 at 03:13 PM

My emotions are kinda fried right now. Just trying to deal with what my brain is throwing at me with some mania and psychosis.

Buffy01 · Oct 25, 2019 at 08:32 PM

Horrible. My family and their friends are bullies.

Marylin · Oct 28, 2019 at 02:02 PM

I am not coping today really, can't be said to be coping when all I have done is put the bins out and made myself soup and a meal for dinner.
Otherwise apart from those two chores I slept all day from 10am when I got up and took my morning meds to 3pm when I woke again.

Blknblu · Oct 28, 2019 at 02:02 PM

Can't keep up...

randomer123 · Nov 01, 2019 at 01:16 PM

Had a lot to do, but getting up early helped a lot, so I am coping with it all very well.

zapatoes · Nov 04, 2019 at 12:16 AM

Ok, tired

rechu · Nov 04, 2019 at 10:00 AM

Not at all. Between my work situation and what's going on in this country, I'm running on fumes emotionally. I just want to hide from the world.

Amethyst_Stargazer · Nov 04, 2019 at 12:25 PM

Today I'm coping better than last week. Last week I was having very depressing thoughts and was sort of isolating myself from everyone.
