How's Your Day Been? Each Day is Different, So Make Your Mark Daily

So far, so good today. We have to take the teenager to the airport for him to have his holiday in Qld with friends... to only be a teenager again. Looking forward to my boys arriving in just over a week now.

Today was hard for me. My husband works doubles on Saturdays, leaving me to fend for myself. I was afraid of losing the day to disassociation and/or depression if I stayed home, so I went to a local coffee shop. I wound up sitting there for 10 hours because I just didn't want to come back to an empty apartment. On the plus side, I got all of my grading done and started working on a paper for my Graduate class. A few friends dropped in to chat throughout the day, which was a pleasant surprise and distraction. I managed to be calm, if not happy...and at least I was productive.

Rotten Day

I had a completely rotten day yesterday/today. It is hard to tell what day it is b/c Jo and I work nights and it is coming to a close.

I feel like a complete f*** up. I failed in every way possible.

Poker went very badly for him. He went on tilt. I was not there to fulfill my assistant duties. I had laid down b/c my back was killing me and I have been loosing the feeling in my hands from doing too much massage work on him.

Now the leader board that we worked so hard for him to get to the top of is beyond all hope of winning. If I had been there I would have been able to help him keep an even keel. Instead I was resting my back and fell asleep.

I feel completely worthless. I fail at every job I try. I am just a useless financial liability. I want to cry but the tears won't come.

So I'm hanging on to the hope that a day at a time things are getting better following blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But I'm alternating between anxiety and depressive states that when they do abruptly occur, hit very high and very low.

Shaking, really really shaking today because of the simplest of letters due out with a deadline date, which not only do I know if I can make (even after this time) but because it contains material that I'm so afraid that I must avoid thinking about and feeling in order to be present and available to be a wife, mother and to get many a job done.

Today is good so far. I am going to the baseball playoffs today, so that is fun. The rain is supposed to stop, so that is good! I am catching up on missed TV. The only chores I have to do are vacuuming and dishes. I think it is going to be a good day.

I was awake early today. The sun is now out. I am a little tired, had some trouble sleeping last night. So far so good, no anxiety, it may be a good day. :)

Had a very busy day today, accomplishing much, so much of what I could within reach. Took a fall from my counter top to the floor and into the wall and banged my head. Was quite scared when it happened but dealing now only with an achey back, cut and bruised head.

Thourgoughly enjoyed the other day with husband and kids out.

Today's gone well, but went out tonight and was triggered emotionally from stuff and other's realities that hurts while looking like stuff directly out of my past.

It's nighttime, I guess it's to be expected.

Today was actually a pretty good day. Was able to stay "focused" most of the day and enjoyed my family. Had fun playing with my daughter. This afternoon, even our trip into WalMart which usually ends up with me being in a basket case turned out well as I remembere to take a xanax. We then went to my sons house and celebrated his 21st birthday with his wife and almost 3 month old son. I was able to "catch" myself the few times that I felt myself get that tight feeling in my chest or anxious/stressed instant feeling coming on and ward it off. We had a wonderful calm evening over there when it is usually stressful. Then my husband and I had a good talk on the way home that was needed.

Haven't had a nice day like this in a while......

Only complaint is the "bombings" that have been going on for weeks. I live in a military town and they must be doing some training or something. I thought it was road work but it has been going round the clock for weeks. My body reacts everytime one goes off. Usually between 5-10 minutes.....Starting to grate on my nerves. We are trying to find ways to help calm me as it brings my stress up since it appears to be a stresser/trigger of some sort..

I was startled earlier out of sleep ... I just froze, I was aware that my partner was talking to me, but I don't know about what. he didn't realise what was happening. I slipped out of bed and went to sleep on the floor in my study. Now I am miserable, easily triggered, frustrated, angry and irritable.

I am angry that I had alcohol last night (celebration for a new job for my man) which meant I couldn't take the Seroquel I have just started on .... so today I am in a fog again, depressed, low and fatigued.

Actually its been a very good day for me, which makes 6 in a row! I have been on a school trip with 30, 4yr olds to an Arboretum, we walked for hours just looking at the trees & picking up leaves to make pictures. It was a perfect day, the sun shone, none of the children complained about walking & they have gone home exhausted but happy & so have I!

Sometimes its the simple things in life that makes the biggest impact on us.
