I'm not coping well with this virus. I'm canceling 2 essential appointments. I don't want to leave my house for anything right now. Things out there are getting worse, not better.

I hate today.

for some reason, it feels like new year's eve (even though it's only july)

guess I am too focussed on what little I have done over the past few months- like every year around new year's eve, I'm feeling bad about they ear just gone

half the year gone and I've nothing to show for it. it's just not getting better...

We gotta hang in there. It will get better.

I'm trying not to stress.

Steady but still second guessing myself and most public situations

New anxiety meds start tonight, but I'm in mania again, and not sure how to cope with it yet. So I'll adjust course as I go.

I didn’t eat much today. But I didn’t take any more meds then I should have. And I had my moods and anxiety in check all day. I felt too sick physically to be sick mentally. So I guess all things considered I coped way better today then I did last night. Although overall I’m still coping terribly.

This morning my mother had very childish irritating manners and I lost control starting to scream and cursing so loudly around the house that my throat still hurts

I couldnt even say sorry and shortly after she left I started crying shaking
I say it to myself because is the only sign i have that I care

I live in a city apartment, all the neighbourhood might have heard.
I wish what happened today was an isolated case
Amen

i've been hearing that since I was 9 years old, and all I've seen is my health declineing, friendship circle decreasing, more abuse (physical and emotional), and no clear outline of a future.

but thank you for the post. I do apreciate it. maybe their are people out their who still believe that. honestly not sure if I do or not, I may have done years ago

still in a fair amount of fibro pain, but not as much as yesterday- I guess the plus side to that: I can move around more and eat (yesterday I could barely do that)

minus side: it's friday, I'm doing nothing, that goes for the weekend too

I did paint my nails today and shower, so can say that I've done some self-care activities, though they didn't lift my spirits at all.

Dear @raging vortex, you are loved. Believe it.

Coping pretty well these lately. Just sticking to what I believe is working for me.

Mountaindewed · Jul 03, 2020 at 04:43 PM

I’m coping way better then I have all week.

Ohhhh such a day but I am still here and finally my hair was cut and I felt better for the normal chat with hairdresser.

Sometimes those things make a big difference in one's day, even if they are small.

Deilla · Jul 05, 2020 at 02:05 AM

I'm doing well. I'm listening to rain sounds, drinking coffee and relaxing on PC.

bpforever1 · Jul 05, 2020 at 06:16 AM

I am doing really well. I could not be better! I am happy and productive!! I don't know how long I will feel this way though. We shall see!
