Check In's

[Changing4Best]

My mood today is... eager for a trip I am taking on Wednesday
I slept ...very well last night
I am kind of OK today since I had enough salt. I have low Blood Sodium, which causes low blood pressure, unless I use salt a lot, so I ate some salty foods today thankfully. Otherwise I feel sleepy.

I have too good of an appetite, yup, especially for salty stuff.
I am not struggling with S/I today! :)
My goal for today is to get a good night's sleep, as it is my bed time now.
A longer term goal I have is to crochet something like a sweater.
I am rid of my abusers, thankfully. I moved 600+ miles away from the living ones and the first one is dead.
An affirmation for today is I made it through the day OK! And I am looking forward to tomorrow. Also, I ordered a pair of mittens today, Yay! I like staying warm in the winter.

My mood today is anxious. I have a doctor's appointment today.
My sleep was wonderful thanks to trazadone
My appetite is hungry most of the time. I keep putting on pounds! Waa, but folks are saying "you look much healthier"...whatever.
s/i a little. My x has countered me and so is requesting a psych evaluation for the courts from me and is now trying to get temporary custody of our kids. I need the kids with me. They need to be with me. We have moved onto civil court from juvenile court. Everything starts over! I testify in a week. I'm worried about the outcome and trying to put a plan OF SAFETY should worst case scenario happen. Prayerfully this court will review juvenile court records.
goal: to get to the doctor (psychiatric) appointment .
long term: learn to live instead of jusy survive.
positive affirmation for today : To everything there is a season. (Just a season, remembering these things won't last forever).

@trying2movefwd I am so sorry you are having to go through that. I am headed back to court to modify the ex's visitation arrangement, and even that gets me stressed, I can't even imagine how hard this is for you. *sending you positive thoughts and hugs*

Mood: Worried, trying to ignore it.
What's Going On? Had to call my ADA Accommodation Support Professional about a professor's punitive assignments due to my missing class on Halloween due to a panic attack. (9 people out of 15 in my class missed, and she only had class for 30 minutes. She gave those who missed 3 assignments of busywork to "make up for class participation and attendance." Not in her syllabus). Was in contact with my T as well, sent out draft emails to both support person and my T, waiting for the reply so I can ask to only complete one out of the three assignments given and get an extension. Term ends 11/17, this professor's last class is 11/21, major assignments are scattered throughout these past few weeks. Had a meltdown due to her email about the remedial assignments on top of an already stressful week/day. Found out yesterday my grandma who lives 10 hours away has small-cell lung cancer and pneumonia on top of her COPD. Her and I are very close.
Sleep: Very well, actually.
Appetite: Currently not eating, mainly because I'm worried and distressed.
Short-Term Goal: Make it to Thursday when I see my T, breathe, take it one day at a time.
Affirmation: Every problem tends to look unsolvable when you only look through one lens.
Long-Term Goal: Use my coping skills to overcome what live throws at me. Reach out to my support network more. Realize that it isn't weakness to reach out to others when in need.

My mood today is anxious. I have a doctor's appointment today.
My sleep was wonderful thanks to...

Hope everything goes ok. I didn't leave my abusive relationship because of my daughter, l was afraid to pull her out when there was a possibility it could be worse. I was right, the divorce has been worse then the marriage, (and the marriage was bad). Four car accidents during divorce, like one on the week of neg. alimony. So l know I it's tough for you. He wouldn't even let me speak to her once l left, she was seventeen. She was telling me all the bad stuff, like he didn't fix her car brakes, etc.
