just need some support today

hi my screen name is Display.

i am just feeling lousy today. I have some discomfort with my teeth - it seems to be moving from one tooth to another. i have bad teeth and i'm always worried that something will go wrong. don't feel i need to go to the dentist yet - the discomfort may go away. but it is stressful worrying about what is going wrong. i did switch my toothpaste (sensitivity) and it could just be a reaction to that. still, i don't like not knowing what is going on.

otherwise i am just depressed about my job search. there is a kind of networking which is recommended by many - reaching out on the phone. i don't seem to be able to do that. just sitting here playing endless games of solitaire.

like i said, i just feel lousy. i sometimes wonder if i can go on in this state.

today is my bipolar support group and i am forcing myself to get ready to go. when i feel this down, i would sort of like to just get back in bed. but i know i wouldn't be able to sleep.

in short, in a lot of pain this morning and would appreciate some support.

thanks for listening,

Hi display,

I know how you feel! It's true though, once you get moving the day gets better. You can be proud of yourself today for going to your group session! Afterwards, you will feel better knowing you accomplished something! Each day, you should find something to accomplish and once it's done, then you can play your games as a reward. It could be taking a 15 min walk, 30 min bike ride, an hour looking for jobs and applying for the ones that are interesting to you, cook a new recipe, going to your group session,... The more you do this, the more it will be easier make yourself a calendar every week in advance so you know what you have to do during the upcoming week.

Be strong and take care,
Caroline
