I have a roommate from hell.

5 more months and I'm off to another place. I hope it's a nice place where someone respects my privacy. I'll get a door lock this time too. maybe closer to the city.

I've been applying to jobs for 3 months. Heard nothing back yet, or "no"s. I apply to a few every few days. We can't pay all our bills and i am scared. We pay the most important ones right now. My mom has helped me once financially and has brought groceries a few times. My dad gives us groceries from time to time. A few things here and there. My mom doesn't want to help anymore. She hasn't been answering her phone either or just doesn't wanna talk for whatever reason. I'm scared cuz idk what to do anymore.

My anxiety is yet again at an all time high. I’ve been waking up with anxiety and physical pain, stomachaches and headaches. Insomnia. Over sleeping. Sadness. Mostly due to finances and the COVID fear is coming back since someone I was around now has COVID.

I feel nauseous all the time.

Idk what to do. I could do instacart/DoorDash. But at this point I’m becoming so physically sick over stress. I have a number of physical issues going on. And my mental health, while stable, is full of anxiety, sadness and I just zone out at times. Haven’t been remembering what I’ve just done 5 min ago or just not remembering things. I sent my sister 30 dollars for fish oil like 2 weeks or 3 weeks ago. I haven’t received anything.

Also, people who are afraid of cameras are going to have to get used to a new normal I believe.

Not really I just turn video off during zoom....

Went to the pharmacy and picked up some of my meds. Normally I get them delivered but something was wrong with the app I use to do that so I had to walk there. It’s super hot out. Drinking an iced coffee and relaxing in the AC now.

Thank you. I appreciate that. I feel like I bother too many people. Definitely don’t wanna bother anyone anymore. I’m in so much physical pain right now and my anxiety and stress is so high.

I can’t afford them. Not my therapist. Can’t afford my doctor right now either but they are letting me see him without paying atm. I had to schedule my therapist out another two weeks when I think I can pay her. Haven’t seen her in 2-3 weeks already.

How about coping skill? What have you done so far? I’m sorry you feel stressed and anxious

12AM · May 23, 2020 at 01:11 PM

Feeling a bit manic. Only slept an hour last night and it’s already night again and not really feeling tired or sleepy. I make sure I drink enough water.

Have you talked to your T before about covid stress and financial stress? If so, think back to the advice that was given?

It’s ok to take a beak when you’re in pain and not mentally well, just work twice as hard once you feel well again.
