I finally sucked it up and just opened the app for the clinic I go to. You can do a lot of the appointment making online once you've established care. Unfortunately, the only option for my shrink is a video conference which has been killing my anxiety and making me avoid even attempting to make an a...
Been trying for nearly an hour to get myself to make an entry. Just not in the mood. Today is just more of the same. Tired all day, barely make it through to 2pm then take a nap that does nothing to alleviate my exhaustion only to barely make it until now. My feet are swelled up and hurt so much. I...
Today did not go as well as yesterday. I did not want to get up and laid in bed until my alarm was about to go off. Then I just stared at my phone for fifteen minutes before going downstairs, hoping I'd feel more awake. I didn't. That meant I didn't really have time to clean the kitchen. I did manag...
I'm worn out, but I don't feel like I did much today. I've been busy, mentally, though. Between just the two youngest kids, it looks like I'm going to have to be on top of school stuff from 7:50am until around 4:30pm. The 10yo has his school from 8am to 10am then has independent work that usually ...
I slept in to start with. First woke up around 7-something and decided to just go back to bed because it's the weekend. Finally got up around 8:30am which is super late for me lately. I noticed right away that my feet weren't as swelled as they have been. The bath last night seemed to help (the swel...
That's how it feels right now. I've been so depressed, and it just keeps getting worse. I still manage to get up early in the morning (not that I have a choice during the week), but by the time my son's classes are over, I can't stay awake anymore. Even today, after getting up later than usual, I wa...
I've been more and more depressed lately. I think part of it is the stress of my kids' school. The 10yo is bored and annoyed with school. He doesn't want to pay attention in his Zoom meetings then doesn't know what's going on with his independent work. I don't listen to the meetings so I only have w...
Today just didn't go well. I went to bed early last night (around 11pm), hoping I'd get a good night's sleep to make it through today with limited coffee input as I was almost out of creamer (and black coffee upsets my stomach). But I didn't fall asleep right away and didn't sleep well at all. I wok...
I decided not to make a public journal entry yesterday. I did write one (on my writing site), but it wasn't fit for public consumption. Mostly it was just me rambling about random stuff and some story brainstorming. I did all of that while my son was doing his virtual school after I had been up sinc...
Not sure what was up with today. I got up around 6:30am like most days and drank an entire pot of coffee but was still dragging all day. I barely made it through my son's morning Zoom meetings while trying to work on my own things. I couldn't focus, though. It was like all my months of extreme fati...
I missed my first journal entry here. It was unavoidable. Yesterday, our cat, Lilah, started acting weird. She couldn't really walk and looked like she was listing to one side. Very shaky. She also had a glazed look in her eyes which wouldn't fully open so it was hard to really tell, but I think t...
Today was a little up and down for me. Didn't wake up until my alarm at 7am this morning which put me off my routine. I didn't have time to sip a coffee while checking social media before going downstairs at 7 to do the dishes and stuff before my son's classes started at 8. Then my husband has toda...
