How are you coping today? #2 1/2

Deilla · Feb 25, 2020 at 09:23 AM

I'm running a little behind this morning. Some people are coming by today to do an inspection. So I'm just taking things one step at a time. And I have a "don't give a flip" attitude.

I feel really horrible today

The inspection people never showed up. I don't know if that means they'll try again tomorrow. I guess I better be prepared. Will sleep soon to deal with the stress of it all.

When your therapist asks you if you need a partial hospital program, you know your not coping well and you know she knows that as well.

I slept extra this morning. It helped some. At the moment, I am journaling. I'm answering journaling prompts for some books I have. It's Okay. It's better than nothing.

I am doing okay except I have somehow a wobble of confidence. This pertains to one person but I think the confidence issue possibly resides within myself.

I had a nice time with friends this afternoon but a little bit I was comparing myself to them - thinking I am not as good or as kind as them.

This isn't helpful or productive this thinking pattern and I'm now cross with myself for thinking it, which in turn is not productive.

I am I think shook by a couple of things that have happened recently involving others. I need to give myself a break over that

Going to read a little now and keep up with the healthy things I have been doing recently.

I’m struggling right now but I’m 3 hours from home so there’s not much I can do.

Discombobulated · Mar 07, 2020 at 11:30 AM

Doing okay and understanding a little bit more about this anxiety that happens sometimes.

One thing that made me feel good was the reappearance of someone who has returned from living abroad, she's someone I have known a long time but not that well but I like her.

Deilla · Mar 07, 2020 at 11:33 AM

I've been reading. That's helped distract me.

I may have messed up on my Topamax and my Xanax on my trip. Not sure what I’ve been taking and what I haven’t and how much I’ve been taking. I didn’t pack well at all for this trip. I forgot a pair of socks, my toothbrush, mouthwash, and my weighted blanket and compression shirt. And my meds were just thrown together. I’m thankfully at home now and I’m back on track with my meds.

Deilla · Mar 09, 2020 at 04:10 AM

I've been working on my art. It's helped me feel good.

Discombobulated · Mar 09, 2020 at 03:18 PM

Coped well today and kept busy.

Mountaindewed · Mar 11, 2020 at 01:25 PM

I am not coping well at all. This is probably the worst I’ve been in 10 years.

Possible trigger:

I took a handful of melatonin last night. Called it Russian roulette. If I died in my sleep ok. If it caused me to just sleep until work Thursday morning, cool.

it didn’t doing either of those things and now I just have a bad medicine hangover and I still feel crappy. I called my therapist but she can’t see me until Monday. I was able to move my Pdcos appointment up 18 day’s early but it’s still gonna be April before I can see him. I’m just trying to hang in there.

I'm pushing myself to solve problems... my desktop won't boot up. I opened a ticket with Dell. Just waiting on a tech now to come out and fix it. It's stressful but I'm making it.

Discombobulated · Mar 12, 2020 at 06:15 PM

Worst day for a while, feeling very negative and self critical.

I talked a lot with my husband, he is funny and makes me laugh which helps hugely, I just feel I don't deserve him.

I also wrote a lot to an online friend who is wonderful and supportive.

Both of these things helped as did reading.

Nix · Mar 12, 2020 at 07:23 PM

I have had a very difficult day... I had to take my kids to an appointment and stop quickly at the store afterward, and I feel enraged at every interaction with strangers. So I decided to stay home and watch my son's school concert on a livestream tonight, which helped me at least calm down a little bit. I didn't have much choice today because my kids' father was traveling for work, but in the future I think I will have to remember that I can't handle more than one outing in a day, and try to plan accordingly so I don't miss my kids' events.

Deilla · Mar 12, 2020 at 07:32 PM

Today I have been playing games and reading. I've been vaping a lot too. I've tried to cut my nicotine back. But I think I will bump it up again. I'm just very stressed at the moment. Too much going on.

TishaBuv · Mar 13, 2020 at 08:52 AM

Doctor told me to not make any big decisions right now.

Mountaindewed · Mar 13, 2020 at 06:27 PM

I was doing ok but now I’ve kind of crashed. It’s been 6 weeks now and still no period. Also I have a really bad sore throat and maybe it’s anxiety but can I really be sure at this point?

Mountaindewed · Mar 15, 2020 at 07:31 PM

I mean, I didn’t end up IP. So I guess maybe I handled things decently??? Or else I just wasn’t being honest. But still I handled things on my own as I knew I could.
