How are you coping today? #2 1/2

nikon · Feb 13, 2020 at 10:32 AM

I am coping better at this moment that I was earlier today but in general I'm not coping well at the moment. When I get frustrated it jumps from 0 to 60 in a second and then

Possible trigger:

I immediately want to hurt myself, kill myself, or do something destructive to discharge the feeling

.

I am visiting friends this evening and these friends are currently a source of a lot of stress. I feel anxious that I might snap and say how I'm really feeling. I feel extremely alone and the only way I can cope a lot of the time is - I think - deliberately trying to dissociate. I pretend I'm not here, pretend I don't exist, blank everything out, try to be nothing. I don't know if that's dissociating.

I'm anxious today. My living room blinds are jammed up where the cord is to close them. They are currently open. I have no way to shut them unless maintenance comes to fix it. If they don't, I'll have no privacy. Everyone will be able to see into my apartment. I could get on a ladder and try to fix it myself. I'm just afraid I'll fall. The apartment people don't see this as important. They may not come by today. Makes me very anxious.

I feel like my emotions have been on a roller coaster today.

I'm feeling better today. It been awhile since I felt better.

I'm getting really bored which is turning into a depressed mood and have been burning my eyes out being online all day when it seems to be more quiet than usual everywhere I go. My battery is close to dying on this device. I've got my crochet and music, but I'll probably get bored, or rather, sorewith the crochet that I'll probably end up back on the pc...or just lay in bed staring at the ceiling. Sigh!

Edit: so probably not coping well today

I am in a state of crisis,I feel ashamed and shunned,I was attacked on another forum.
I got so low last night when I was being ganged up on,my mental health plummeted.
I have had feelings of agoraphobia come back and my CPTSD got triggered.
I am booked in for a Trauma and Recovery Workshop today,I bought ticket but I can't go I have to skip it,
I will get charged a non attendance fee but I am ill and can't make it through a whole days lectures with a room full of strangers
at a hotel.I am so low.I can't hope I have to stay home and hiberbate.

I'm stressed out this morning. I've been looking for remote work and can't seem to find anything that I can apply for. I haven't worked in years, which makes it hard to even get an interview. Not sure what I will do.

Coped well today, focussed on chores this afternoon and got ironing and cleaning done, everything smells nice.

I did a bit of study but finding it challenging, taking that one bit at a time.

Going to get the evening meal ready and reward my study and housework with some reading for pleasure.

Tried coping by cooking today. That helped for a while. Most of the day has been sad and stressful.

Gasplessy · Feb 15, 2020 at 05:13 PM

February can be a cruel month

I still miss my life. My previous self.

Anonymous42019 · Feb 15, 2020 at 06:32 PM

I'm doing very well and continue as I intend.

Deilla · Feb 16, 2020 at 12:46 AM

Doing well this morning. I've been playing my game and cleaning house. Both activities help calm me. Later I plan to read. I just have a relaxing day in mind. That will help.

Buffy01 · Feb 16, 2020 at 02:22 PM

I feel really a sad. I don't know why I am feeling depressed.

justlexi93 · Feb 16, 2020 at 08:58 PM

I cry it out, talk to God, keep going to work despite the fact that I don't feel well.

Deilla · Feb 17, 2020 at 06:26 AM

I'm cooking this morning. It helps me feel better. It's quite rewarding. Doing fun things always helps me. I'll probably stay pretty active today. I plan to try some yoga later.

Discombobulated · Feb 17, 2020 at 04:12 PM

Doing well. Have had quite a few stressors the last few days but they haven't got to me.

Deilla · Feb 18, 2020 at 03:18 AM

I coped by doing art this morning. I'll try to get some extra sleep now. I have an appointment today. The sleep will help calm me and help the time pass.

Buffy01 · 10:15 AM

I feel like a dark cloud fell over me. I have to do mediation to calm myself down.

Art is a great way to express yourself.
