How you feel & what you're going to DO about it.

Post by Licentia Poetica » Thu Aug 24, 2006 2:02 am

****Post how you feel and how you can cope until you feel differently****




Insecure appearance-wise.
Scared that I'm going to screw up uni because I can hardly walk out the door.


But I'm going to switch my lecture and make an effort to see my doctor on Tuesday, and hopefully work out a plan to feeling less anxious and controlling my ED.

Like I am at the top of a slippery slope or back on the downward part of the rollercoaster.

I've made an appointment with the counselling service, I am hoping they can at least catch me if I fall.

Exhausted and stressed.

I will use my time today to balance doing something relaxing and something constructive that make me feel like things are more under control. So I will read for at least an hour, and study for three.

tired and worn out... and a bit ignored...

i'm going to relax for most of the day... and treat myself really good... maybe i'll text the persons who've been ignoring me... but that's only if i feel up to it...

Tired and drained and stressed.

Relax, try to take some time to do something nice.
Study as much as I can. Remember that I've got enough time and I can get it done.
Make sure I get to bed at a reasonable time.

[This thread is *really* useful. Thanks El :redstar:]

*hugs pretty*



I feel.. sick with depression.
Totally dead & empty.

tbh, I think all i can do is go to sleep.
*sighs* the effort to move from the floor to my bed is too much.
maybe i'll sleep on the carpet.

I'm really tired and stressed, but emotionally doing okay.

So I'm going to take advantage and do a few hours work while I can, and later I can sleep when my mood drops. Also I have a meeting about some work extensions tomorrow.

I'm actually feeling pretty good for a change

SO. I am going to finish ALL of my hw assignments due tomorrow so I don't get into the nasty habit of slacking off like last year. I'm going to do ALL of them, and finish all of them, and not totally fuck them up

I feel tired, and worn out and creatively drained.



I will sleep, I will go to bed and do the stupid breathing exercizes that work... I will wake up and I will cancel all the tattoos I'm suppose to do tomorow, and I will get a new sketchbook and start drawing on brand new paper with a brand new piece of charcoal....


Most of the time I feel like I don't belong.

I feel overwhelmed with school work.

I will wake up tomorrow and work on complex numbers until class. I will do one hour of women's studies reading and two hours of math (all three classes) after PT. If things are still shakey at the end of the week, I'll get a linear algebra tutor.

tense/strung out emotionally, insecure about my looks,

tenseness: vent in my journal,may-b look at my collage I was working on, watch a scrubs dvd


Insecure about my looks: Avoid the gym as this will just encourage me to count numbers,instead do my workout video,be a bit more active by going into town,dancing/stretching

I feel exhausted and stretched beyond belief. I feel frustrated that I look like I feel.

I will go downstairs soon, watch a film and relax. Then I will shower and do my hair so that it'll be pretty tomorrow. Tomorrow I will get up *on time* and put make up on. I'll be tired tomorrow, but I'm gonna be tired whatever I do so I might as well make myself feel better before I go to bed.

insecure
happy from seeing afi
jealous of the stupid girl who said that she was Billie Joe's cousin and knew Davey Havok. She was probably lying.

OK, well, I am going to do my homework. Because tomorrow I might not have the change. And then I'm going to... erm... talk to people in BUS if anyone is lame like me and on @ midnight....

Worn out. Stressed. Drained.

I will turn the computer off, think of something I can eat, have a pleasant evening - either have a bath or watch Buffy and get to bed at a sensible time. I will try to get some work done again tomorrow, cos really it's a lost cause for today.
