Unhappy.

Cross off things on the "to-do" list and get them done, then focus on doing the more enjoyable things.

I feel drained, unfocused and urgey.

I am going to take a walk, center myself, and try to get back to work.

I feel anxious about my drawing assignment that's not finished, and irritated that there's no diet-friendly food in the house and upset with mself that i've had nothing but grains, pasta and muffin today.

what i'm going to do about it:
make myself finish the drawing... stop putting it off... I'll do it 10 minutes, take a break, draw for 20... now if only I can make myself start.
I ate an apple, that's healthy, but I still feel like my food intake today is failure. Ugh
Remind myself tomorrow is a new day.... and try not to think about all the responsibilities that come with new days.

I feel like I'm heading into a manic episode.

I am going to breathe.
I am going to remember that I've sidestepped the last few by taking very good care of myself, and I can do it again.
I am going to hide out here until the fear passes, and then try and get some sleep.
I am going to put the following in place:
:purpstar: I am going to make up my drops (I can't take traditional meds)
:purpstar: I am going to step back from stressful situations rather than throw myself at them
:purpstar: I am going to make myself lie in bed with my eyes closed, even if I don't think I can sleep. Usually, if I keep at it long enough, I fall asleep.
:purpstar: I am going to remember to eat well, drink enough water, and avoid coffee and soft drink. I am going to remember to take my vitamins if I can't figure out the whole food issue.
:purpstar: I am going to tell myself that it's ok to step back, that it's much, much better than getting full on manic and making bad choices.
:purpstar: I am going to run major choices past my gf, and check that it's actually a good idea, and not a bad idea that seems great in the moment and bites me on the butt later on.
:purpstar: :purpstar: :purpstar: I am going to remind myself that it's going to be ok.

I feel tired and upset and urgey and frustrated and completely pissed off with myself.

I am going to:

Distract myself online to get rid of some of the urges.
Go to bed at a decent hour
Realize why I behaved the way I did and that all I can do is apologize and try to make it better in the morning.

I am tired, hurt, in pain, depressed, stressed.

I need sleep, to take care of my physical self as best as I can, do something possitive I like to beat depression, try not to let the stressors get to me.

I feel angry and very upset so I am going to talk and just vent in my place on bus if I have to so that I at least get to a safer mood.

tired. sad. stressed.

1. listen to music and do stuff online to calm me and distract from the sadness.
2. open uni stuff for a distraction and to get some things done so there is less to do.
3. go to bed for a nap whenever it feels appropriate. try not to feel silly for going to bed, you deserve to take care of yourself.
