Tired, drained, sad, hungry. Get to bed before it's too late, sit it out and be patient, eat supper.

Overwhelmed. Leave things for now. Do one thing at a time when I feel more ready.

I feel... a lot of very not great things right now. Somewhat better than last night, but still verging on SU.

I don't know what to do about that. Maybe write, keep listening to music, and ignore the fact I'm meant to be workign from home today. Keep distracting myself here.

Feeling unsure about the choices I have made (because of the comments my mother said to me), feeling useless, without ambition, stuck in a rut.

What I'm going to DO:

Stop listening to what Mother says. There is nothing wrong with taking three art courses.
Make a list on the projects I have to finish and FINISH THEM.
Hand out resumes tomorrow so I can get a new job and get out of this rut.

I'm tired, stressed, and hungry.

I'm going to try to have a relaxing night, I'm going to get my schoolwork done on time, and I'm going to eat some dinner soon.

Tired. Anxious. Really anxious.

Keep breathing. Stay focused. Eat dinner. Bath. Let Andrew organise me. Remember that people care and will look after me.

Anxious.

Get off the computer in a bit. Cook, make a start on my assignment, make tea, drink tea.

worried that i might be self-destructive while i feel a bit down and have time alone.

what i'm going to do:
text or call my sister when/if i feel down.
go one day at a time and not think too much of the future.
get something that i'm proud of done each day.
tonight - read? play an involving computer game? watch videos? i don't know yet.
other stuff - eat normally, cry if i want to, try not to si.

Upset/rejected/hopeless because of unrequited things.

To cope:
Understand there's nothing that could possibly be done about it.
Mope, get very involved with friends and hobbies, take a deep breath and reason with self when upset.
Be happy for him.
Accept things are how they are.
don't worry if i'm not here - i come and go. :cowsleep:

sad, confused, tired, guilty..

listen to some calming worship songs, do some (gentle) excersise and get some sleep...
"Love does not make the world go round... It’s what makes the ride worth while"
"Good friends lift you up when your wings forget to fly"

"Let Go and Let God"
"God will never let us fall without a plan on how to save us"
"For I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" – Philippians 4:13

"I only lied so I didn't have to see the tears of disappointment in your eyes"
"I don't want the world to see me, cos I don't think that they'd understand..."

Urgey urgey urgey!

Have been on the games bit of the board. It's not working. I'm going to clean the kitchen, and if that doesn't work I'm going to leave the apartment and go for a long walk but only bring my keys so I can't buy anything.

Either way, get off the internet. It doesn't really help these situations. :-?

one thing at a time i guess. recover from the flu.
