I understand how you feel. I am going through this myself.

That sounds like a good plan.

I'm coping okay but maybe I could be coping better. I've been anxious about some things going on in my life. I did get out of my house to get groceries. It helped distract me. And I'm going to the doctor's office later today, for a physical issue that was worrying me.

I think I'm doing my best. And I also realize I need to use my skills in this moment in time instead of checking online.

I don't even know if i can cope or can allow myself to do it
I've been stuck in a nightmare and can't get out of it...
Please let me have him back
I can't believe I lost him
I used to be such a jerk.... This winter I started praying for this nightmare to end

Getting better...I was upset earlier, I released the frustration from my soul. One must say “As as act of my will I choose to loose this frustration from my soul.” It works all the time...getting free from tension and life events. One can use any event (of emotion) to be free from; really helps me.

This afternoon I'm not coping as well. I'm tired but forcing myself to do chores. They have to be done. It's my responsibility. At least when I mark one of the list, it helps me feel a little better.

Hang on in there and well done on keeping up those chores!

My mood is good but my main problems in terms of symptoms are being caused by my meds--drowsiness and increased appetite--and I'm struggling with these since yesterday and this has me a bit frustrated but I'm not giving into it and getting discouraged.

This morning was difficult. So I slept til noon. Then I started programming. That kept my mind off of things. Now I'm trying to relax with a cup of coffee.

Decided to minimize the fight or flight response. I’m distracting myself right now instead. I have relationship issues. I’m learning to accept and control my anger and frustration. This will pass. I am not in danger. It’s just unfortunate we can’t make it work.

jrae · Feb 21, 2020 at 06:11 AM

i'm super scared and nervous, and trying not to freak out but it's not working

downandlonely · Feb 21, 2020 at 06:15 AM

I'm coping ok despite getting hardly any sleep.

winter4me · Feb 21, 2020 at 06:58 AM

not bad so far----------------(fingers crossed emoji)

I coped well today and had an interesting conversation about emotional resilience this afternoon which was helpful.

Deilla · Feb 22, 2020 at 01:59 AM

I'm trying to cope by posting here in the Coffeehouse. It's helping some.

Discombobulated · Feb 23, 2020 at 01:56 PM

So tired today, but coping ok and got everything done that was needed.

Deilla · Feb 24, 2020 at 03:10 PM

I'm coping today by sleeping and reading when I'm up. And eating comfort food.

missbelle · Feb 24, 2020 at 05:56 PM

I didn’t cope that badly today. For only the second time since September 2018 I didn’t take a Xanax. There was a singer on American idol who struggled with addiction and it just bothered me. I also didn’t have one on me earlier in the day when I was looking for one. I coped with my moods as well so no one really noticed them. I did ok today on the outside. Inside I feel weird.

Funny old day - I have anxiety about over sleeping on work days. What this usually means is I wake too early and have disturbed sleep. I never over sleep, it's just a random anxiety I have.

Well today I overslept for the first time for real! I had to get ready in 10 minutes flat, somehow I did, and I even got a very quick breakfast.

I think this was actually good for me - like the thing I feared happened but I coped
