I'm A LOT stressed this morning. My new online T is not helpful. I don't find anything she has to say useful. It mainly stirs up crap. But I paid for my subscription already and I feel like I'm stuck with this. I guess I could try a new therapist. I hate to go back to my old one. She was annoying but at least she had good things to say.

try not to feel too bad.

if it's any consolation: I have had 9 therapists, none of them really that useful (at least to me)

and at least one who shouldn't even hold that job

Out of extreme frustration I just said something so awful to him that I scared myself.

I'm always tired. I sleep a lot. I wake up and work though. I am not complaining but wonder if this is a life.

May 19, 2020 at 06:26 AM

I emailed my therapist today to tell her I was struggling and heard back: I can't do anything right now, so I am not interested

charming...

Needing a check up by PCP. Can't tell if I'm just going through natural changes because of age or my health could stand to be better. Trying not to worry about it.

Going back on an antidepressant which I'm a little sad about, but want to accept that it could help. Hoping I feel up to reaching out to loved ones again and work out of this isolating.

anxiety's been bad over the last 24 hours

yesterday I had a panic attack over a phone call I need to make on friday (I had phone conversations, hate them), and today- as well as being anxious about that, I am anxious about a few friends who are going for coronavirus tests- which I hope go well

anxiety all round..

bpforever1 · May 20, 2020 at 09:43 PM

I'm doing well. I need to lose weight though by decreasing my intake. I'm going to the eye doctor to look into getting orthokeratology lenses. I will see how it goes. I feel well overall but want to improve my appearance. I hope that these lenses can help improve my vision.

Thanks! I decided to go back with my old therapist. But this time I talked to her about what was bothering me. It's very awkward now. She keeps pushing CBT but doesn't offer any practical considerations. So I just started making up crap based on what I've read. I'm hoping she'll drop the subject. I told her I would reframe my thoughts.

My severe depression has lifted so I'm feeling MUCH better. Sadly, though, I think this last bout may have been the straw that broke the camel's back for physical health. I need to take better care of myself when I'm feeling well enough to do so.

88Butterfly88 · May 21, 2020 at 05:38 PM

I am doing okay. I feel more introverted than usual, I don't know if this is from depression or it's just a normal ups and downs thing. I have a teletherapy appointment tomorrow. This will be session two, really just a continuation of the initial intake since we didn't finish it the first time. So far this t seems decent but I will have to see.

glad it's the weekend.

had a really tough week with anxiety and flashbacks. I hope I can relax for a little while

Deilla · May 23, 2020 at 08:56 AM

I'm doing well. I got my hair cut and colored yesterday. And this morning I went down to the park with some coffee. It was really nice. Later I will order a veggie burger.

May 24, 2020 at 04:17 AM

it is far too early on a sunday morning to say " I have nothing to do for the rest of the day", but I don't

may listen to part 2 of the mythology story I've been listening to

it's about how the polynesian demigod maui snaired the sun

I mean it may only be 45 minits out my day, but it's something..

88Butterfly88 · May 24, 2020 at 09:07 AM

I have been feeling very agitated lately and I haven't been sleeping well. I'm wondering if my blood sugar is off. I will have to start using my glucose monitor again and possibly contact my endocrinologist.

cptsdwhoa · May 25, 2020 at 06:05 AM

I"m still doing much better. I haven't actually started the new antidepressant, but I am willing to discuss why that is with my pdoc and see what she thinks. I'm taking things one day and one step at a time. My therapist keeps recommending that I consider getting a service dog. I was feeling insecure about looking into getting a service animal, but I really want to hear her out now. I've been thinking that an Emotional Support Animal could do me a world of good.

Deilla · May 25, 2020 at 01:38 PM

I am having a good day. I went out and got my car washed. I've been out of the house for 4 days in a row. That never happens. Tomorrow I plan to go to the pharmacy.

cptsdwhoa · May 27, 2020 at 12:57 AM

I still struggled with isolation but baby steps. This is the second day in a row of lifestyle changes towards multiple health goals. I achieved everything I hope to again today. It's one day one step at a time. I'm glad I started doing T-tapp. I'm getting immediate relief from physical pain.

What is T-tapp? I'm glad it's helping with your pain!

I'm doing Okay. I have a dentist appointment this morning. I'm tired. I really don't want to go anywhere today. But it will be good to get out.

I was pretty depressed last night. I feel a little better now. I'm hanging in. Just taking it one day at a time.
