Exhausted, drained, low.

Get up from my desk, walk to the toilets (it's far enough to be an escape), make a coffee, avoid working for a bit longer. Eat something nice from my lunchbox, think about the things I've got to look forward to.

I'm scared because I have to call my college about course changes.

Be and adult and just call. I have to take responsibility now. I'm not a child anymore.

empty, like i can't feel the pain im holding onto... like i can't grasp the fear and that medicine has made me feel better and function, but now i cant deal with what happened because i cant feel the raw anger and fear...

...watch tv, maybe go to the library, i dont know how to feel.

A bit on the angry side.

I'm going to have some alone time and ask people to give me a bit of space. Read some of my book to calm myself down and listen to some relaxing music. Try not to let it get to me. This will pass soon. Write in my journal so it all doesn't build up inside.

i did meditate for about 40 mintues this
afternoon and it really helped.
but this evening i got into trouble again
and i felt really tired and sad and scared
and empty, kind of. and i chose to do my
self injuring behavior and now i just feel
more deflated or something. i guess what
i should do is pack up our stuff and do all
the things i should have done earlier since
i'm up so late anyway.

Angry and sick of being in this house.

Nothing much I can do for now, but I'll just try and calm down, quiet music, pet my cat, try not to let it get to me.

low and useless

I feel very fearful, overwhelmed, angery and disorganized right now.

To help I'm going to make a schedule of my week, exercise to help get rid of the anxiety, set a time limit for my homework and preparing for the interview. Then after that I'm going to make sure I eat healthy and get enough sleep tonight. And maybe do something fun for myself.

Tired, anxious, stressed.

Do some nice relaxing things this afternoon, make the most of not being at work. Maybe read, maybe have a bath and do my hair so that's one less thing to worry about in the morning.

exhausted
broken
sad
like a bit of a failure
and really anxious

I've put the heater on because I'm cold, and I'm eating and I made a big mug of tea. I'm going to have a nap this afternoon and read in bed maybe with a hot water bottle. I'm going to take care of myself.

I'm going to get organised, get a grip, and get to work tomorrow.

I feel lonely.

I am going to call a friend, get out of the house and start thinking about how I can meet more people.

A bit upset, but I don't know why. I keep crying even though there's no reason to. Which is weird.

Because I don't know why I'm upset, I think I'll just do some general things to make myself feel better. Play guitar, listen to something nice from my music collection, maybe make myself some nice coffee or something. I don't know.

Yucky.

Have a bath, do my hair pretty (even though it'll get rained on and ruined :-?), read, go out later. *nods*
