I'm hurting

Breaking Dawn · Jul 28, 2020 at 01:46 PM

I am coping reasonably well, in spite of a sad setback. I talk myself into pushing forward, & I feel almost determined to develop a new strength that can help me improve my situation.

Another good day. Work went well and got all the tasks done I needed to plus a few extra to make my colleagues job easier in the morning. Tired now but feeling positive.

Kind of not at my best tonight. But I'm still sending vibes out to others.

Have a lot to do and feeling a little bit irritable. Hopefully coffee will help.

Another good day - I travelled by train (with mask!) and met my friend and her dog. We drank tea and chatted for hours and walked with her dog. So normal but sooo appreciated.

Made a nice meal for the family tonight too.

Look after yourselves people, be kind to yourselves and give yourself credit for small steps made.

I have had another day of really intense physical pain. it's been horrible, not only because it hurts, I can't really do much (like I do anyway, I guess)

didn't really have much of a good dinner either. it was too spicy for me and it hurt my mouth

swimmingly · Jul 29, 2020 at 07:12 PM

I worked for 12 hours today, and didn't have a lot of time to obsess about the fact that I think I'm going to be in the next round of layoffs. I placed a few phone calls to try to keep my job. Trying to keep hustlin'.

Been using box breathing.

I am coping. I think it's important to acknowledge that, as simple as that appears to be. Some people might not be coping at all, not even a little bit. So I am probably doing better than I think I am.

Jul 30, 2020 at 01:32 PM

bad.

simply put: done nothing all day, another day wasted, feel like a failure

plus side is that I actually did eat better this evening. I had chicken burgers which were quite nice

I wish that I could have done that. That sound like an awesome plan.

Buffy01 · Jul 30, 2020 at 02:25 PM

My emotions are all over the place. I want to feel good but I feel really down. I feel like I am depressed.

Breaking Dawn · Jul 30, 2020 at 05:20 PM

I've been exploring music & certain types of information, & I did some sweet reading.

swimmingly · Jul 30, 2020 at 05:22 PM

Another day of working 10 hours. I'm going to just keep working as hard as possible until the inevitable happens. Working hard is going to be how I'll deal.

Marylin · Jul 30, 2020 at 06:43 PM

I got through the day but I am not happy,I am weary,I want to visit relatives abroad but haven't the funds to do so.It's been like this,short of funds for the last 30 years.I am miserable about it....I so wish I could have a windfall on the lottery and win enough for a holiday.

stahrgeyzer · Jul 30, 2020 at 08:25 PM

Very good since yesterday. Prior to that been feeling like I'm going to have a mental breakdown or panic attacks.

Deilla · Jul 31, 2020 at 07:04 AM

I'm trying to cope better this morning. Last night was difficult. I watched TikTok for a while and it made me laugh. It also put a silly song in my head.
