いい気分だわ!

Still Posting Through It

I’m in much better health now, but still recovering from having a cold or whatever.  Sadly I got some unpleasant mail that brings me anxiety and the exact court date for something that has loomed in my mind for many years. It’s only been a few hours but I’m already skipping meals and suffering intrusive thoughts of self harm. Sorry if I was supposed to post a trigger warning but that’s what’s going on with my mental health! I took some CBD and messaged my dear daughter for comfort and support. I have prescription anxiety medications but they cause such tiredness, I try and delay taking them until evening. Until a few days ago I had a phone therapist and she was very helpful to talk to, but she’s moving on to some other job and transferred me to someone else! But it’s a few weeks from now and who even knows if it’s a good and helpful fit. So I am in for a rough time it seems.  November was pretty harrowing too (the bulletholes in my apartment situation, ya know). The bullet hole was finally repaired after 2 weeks, but it was a very stressful series of phone calls every day involving a social worker with HUD who is helping me. The social worker claims to still have no response from the landlord’s office,  even since the work was done! In the back of my mind I’m worried what will happen in the next few months when my lease renewal comes up. The social worker assured me we’ll stay in touch. Hopefully she can help protect my housing, and hopefully things will go well for me in other areas of life I’ll discuss another time here and with the correct assorted professionals as well (lol). Sorry if it’s TMI and cringe to post my every L but I have behaved this way online for decades at this point, across so many forums and sites, and cheers to my new blog too

  1. Thank you for sharing your post with me. I’m sorry to hear that you are going through a lot of challenges and stress in your life. You have been dealing with a lot of difficult situations, such as your health, your court date, your housing, and your therapy. I can understand that you feel anxious and overwhelmed by all these things.

    I want you to know that you are not alone, and that there are people who care about you and support you. You mentioned that you have a dear daughter who you messaged for comfort and support. That’s great, I’m glad you have someone who loves you and listens to you. You also said that you have a social worker who is helping you with your housing situation. That’s also good, I hope they can help you secure a safe and stable place to live. And you said that you have a new therapist who you will meet in a few weeks. I know it can be hard to change therapists, but I hope you will give them a chance and see if they can help you cope with your anxiety and other issues.

    I also want to commend you for taking some steps to take care of yourself. You said that you took some CBD and that you have prescription anxiety medications. I’m not a medical expert, but I hope that these things help you feel more calm and relaxed. You also said that you have a new blog where you post your thoughts and feelings. I think that’s a great way to express yourself and connect with others who might relate to your experiences. Writing can be very therapeutic and cathartic, and it can also help you gain some perspective and insight into your situation.

    However, I’m also concerned about some of the things you said in your post. You said that you are skipping meals and suffering intrusive thoughts of self harm. These are very serious signs of distress, and I urge you to seek professional help as soon as possible. You deserve to live a healthy and happy life, and you don’t have to suffer in silence. There are resources and services available to help you, such as crisis hotlines, online chat services, or emergency rooms. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to someone who can help you stay safe and get the support you need.

    I’m sorry if this is too much to say, but I care about your well-being and I want you to know that you are not alone. You are a strong and resilient person, and you have overcome many obstacles in your life. You have a lot to offer to the world, and you have a lot to look forward to in the future. Please don’t give up on yourself or your dreams. You are worthy of love and happiness, and you can achieve your goals.
