1) How are you doing for today? or maybe recently?
I'm not feeling so amazing, but that's half because I've had a cold since the weekend and half because I've worn myself out doing a lot of cleaning. I've spent the last few weeks preparing for a housing inspection by my city, and that's happening today. I've been so depressed and tired these last few months that I'd let all sorts of messes and chores pile up- I only just finished cleaning all of my dishes and cutlery this week.
2) How are you coping with your depression or your problems recently? What are you struggling with?
I'm kind of struggling with my Mom's COPD, or rather, how she's not going to completely quit smoking because of it. She's been smoking three or more cigarettes a day, and she's really proud of that because the last time she quit trying to quit she began smoking five to seven of them. She also just wants to eat what she wants and not diet at all because she says she's old and dieting isn't for her...but her high cholesterol and blood pressure are still a problem.
She's exercising a little more, and that's great, but she kind of doesn't bother with balancing her meals too.
3) A new fun fact about you ^^ I would love to know what's new with you since our last time checking in together (feel free to skip).
Sorry, I don't really have anything new.
I bet it feels better in general to have the apartment clean. Consider that a blessing.
Your mom is also doing better with the smoking and that matters. Suggest she attempt going down to two - one morning and one evening. If she can see progress, she will keep going.@integrityblues
@bestVase7265
Yes. She's very stubborn though. She's just told me that she's run out of refills for her statins and doesn't want to go to the doctor to fix the problem. I told her to just call them up and see if she can get a new script without going in if it bothers her that much. I also offered to come with her if she needs an advocate. She said no but did say she'd call the doctor's office because she was only given three pills by the pharmacist.
One step at a time.@integrityblues
@kdsyahirah
Thanks for the check-in.
1) How are you doing for today? or maybe recently?
It's been a rough couple of weeks, and looks like it's still continuing today. Getting in terms with it and learning to deal with it, but we'll see how things go on the long run. Today's been of the not so bad ones lately, so there's that.
2) How are you coping with your depression or your problems recently? What are you struggling with?
Lately, I've been struggling with a big mess of a lot of issues, from disability to depression and everything in between. I'm working with it with my shrink right now, learning ways to cope with things and to find a calmer ground, basically. One day at a time and all that.
3) A new fun fact about you ^^ I would love to know what's new with you since our last time checking in together (feel free to skip)
Can't really think of anything, tho I'm not sure if I've answered your check-ins before to be honest due to memory issues. Not much of a fun fact, but a fact nonetheless.
Glad to see you here again. "Not so bad" for any day is a victory.@OneErased
1) How are you doing for today? or maybe recently? I have been better. I am starting to write again after a long writer's block, but I am going through a lot. My brain will not stop. My health is iffy at best. My doctors keep putting me on different meds and my side effects are weakness, exhaustion, hard to focus, and stomach issues.
2) How are you coping with your depression or your problems recently? What are you struggling with? I have been trying to write and color, and I am waiting on a therapist as where I am at, it can 6 to 8 weeks to get into an office. I am depressed because I feel broken and like I am powerless. . . long story short, I need a hysterectomy at 39 with no kids. My guy is 1200 miles away taking care of his mother. I am scared and lonely. I cannot stop thinking of it.
3) A new fun fact about you ^^ I would love to know what's new with you since our last time checking in together (feel free to skip) I love writing about vampires and I working on my own novel series. I am huge fan of Stephen King and Anne Rice.
That sounds really hard on you. Sending strength for the coming days. @Rebekahwriter13
@kdsyahirah
Hi,
1) How are you doing for today? or maybe recently? I'm struggling, but pushing forward.
2) How are you coping with your depression or your problems recently? What are you struggling with? I struggle with a couple people I work with. And I struggle with work in general. I have two part time jobs and they are both not dream jobs.
3) A new fun fact about you ^^ I would love to know what's new with you since our last time checking in together (feel free to skip) I'm applying to grad school.
Go grad school! @purpleTree4652
I don’t know what to post. I can’t even find reasons to get out of bed. I’m doing about as well as I used to, which is still not good. I’m a wreck. I have to force myself to brush my teeth and shower every day. I hate life. My depression isn’t improving. I’m forced to use recreational drugs to get some relief and have that one half of a minute that I don’t want to run into a wall. People always say they value me, but they truly don’t. They just say that. Because if I “vanished” then they’d be upset for a while and then move on and forget me. And that would be the greatest feeling ever, knowing I was gone and forgotten from all of this worthless garbage of an existence.
I know that your brain can convince you that you "know" what other people are thinking or how they would react. You cannot know these things. Neither can I. All I do know is trusting other people when they say they care keeps me alive on the bad days. Love does exist. Sending hope and peace this evening. @Server8462
