Mood Check 11/06/2020

 MOOD: Currently my mood is "irritated"

Depressed at 3/10.

ANXIETY: My anxiety level is 2/10.

SITUATIONAL STRESSORS: Scott complained that there was "no food in the house" last night while I was in the middle of working on homework with Jaden. He said "do we have to sell your car to pay for food?" He apologized later, but it's difficult to accept his apologies when he doesn't change his behaviors. This morning, he woke me up several times. Once was to tell me I had bad breath and do I want a mint. Once was to tell me he was going to Mixwells tonight, which feels like a punishment for not having sex with him for the past few days while I was on my period. Once was to ask me to scratch his back. Then he wanted me to massage his back. Then he put his fingers into the front of my pajama pants. Also, he asked me to roll over so he could "cuddle" once he had woken me up and I realized I needed to start waking up so I could get ready to see my client at 10 am. Then, after seeing my first client, he told me he wants me to start putting half of my paycheck into the joint account.


SOMATIC: My right elbow tendon is sore. My upper back muscles are sore from yoga. My eyes feel tired. My vagina feels "burny" from remaining blood from my period.


SLEEP: I slept about 7 hours last night. I stayed up until 1 am and was woken up by Scott around 8 am. I don't remember waking up, but I had a dream that my ex husband was my current husband. He was angry at me for something. I can't remember what.


ENERGY: I feel tired today, like I either need to nap or get up and move.


BEHAVIOR: Today, I meditated, dressed and had a Thrive Shake, saw one client (other one no showed), and now planning to do laundry and get outside.


MOTIVATION: I feel motivated, but don't have the energy. I think if I force myself to be active, I will have more energy.


CONCENTRATION: My concentration is slightly impaired by being irritated by Scott this morning.


THOUGHT CONTENT: No SI/ HI. I want to separate from Scott. I want him to get his own apartment. If he doesn't take Adderall, I can't stand him. Scott is lazy. He is laying in bed at 1 pm watching TV. He has been off work for the past 4 days and the only thing he's done is rake leaves. He refuses to paint the steps with polyurethane. He hasn't fixed the faucet handle on the sink. I guess I'll have to do it.


HEALTH UPDATES: Just finished my period, which was heavier than normal and lasted 5 days instead of 4.


EXERCISE: I did yoga yesterday and some love handle exercises. I raked leaves yesterday. I'm trying to get more into a routine.


APPETITE/DIET: Thrive shake for breakfast. I was craving sweets most of my period. I ate more junk food than usual.


SUBSTANCES: I drank one vodka drink last night with about 2-3 shots of vodka in it. I got drunk on Tuesday night at Ashley's (a bottle of wine and approx 6 shots of vodka). I got drunk on Friday night w/ Ashley, Justin, and Scott (an absurd amount of vodka throughout the night). I drank a small Red Bull last night to stay awake to do homework w/ Jaden. I used Thrive about every 2 days this week. I had a cup of mint yerba mate this morning.


INTERPERSONAL: I am very frustrated with Scott. He attempts to irritate me in the morning, mostly because he is horny and I am sleeping. My dad is slightly irritating w/ all his political texts and my family is responding to it. No problems w/ friends. Less interest in Justin these days, who seems to be more attached to Ashley right now.


PSYCHOTHERAPY: I last saw Dave on 10/28. I was in a good mood then. Next apt 11/10.


MEDICATIONS: Taking Vit D, Vit B12, L-Methylfolate 15 mg, B complex, and Ritual vitamins

The Covert Passive Aggressive Narcissist

Image
My father has Antisocial Personality Disorder, which is very similar to NPD. My mom tried to tell me things, but I didn't respect her or listen to her. My dad would always make it seem like she was just not smart and I believed him. I worshipped my dad and I believed everything he said until I became an adult and started to unravel my own codependency issues. My mom divorced my dad when I was 11, but she continued to have sex with him and spend time with us as a family. My dad was in jail when I was 13-16 and we moved in with my mom. After my dad got out, he moved into my mom's house. Then we all moved to California. After a year there, my mom moved back to Ohio with my little sister to help her best friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer. I felt abandoned by my mom, but she felt like I didn't need her anymore. This caused me to not listen to her even more. Although we have a better relationship now, I still feel hurt by all the times she and my sisters said I was just...

Trouble in Paradise

 Beau and I had a pretty good run of things going smoothly. Now as we are headed into year 4, it's a bit bumpy. Mostly it has to do with his kids. On Monday, Stella had counseling with her counselor, Taylor and I had counseling with my counselor, Dave. Taylor wouldn't see her because she said she didn't get the paperwork she needed from Beau along with the ROI for me to talk to her. Dave said to bring her into our session. I thought it went pretty well and it was interesting to hear what Stella had to say about why she doesn't do the dishes on her night or clean up after herself. She said it wasn't fair because Ira never had to do chores when he was her age and they were living with their mom. Also, she said everyone treats her like a little kid, so she doesn't think she should have the same expectations as everyone else. The nurse-practitioner student picked it apart and asked for examples. She said it was mostly the other people in the house who were treating ...

Happiness and Peace

 I now live my life in happiness and peace. I live in a lovely home at 4155 Spring Mill Way, Maineville, OH 45039. Beau and I worked very hard to make it beautiful. Outside is yellow door, hanging ferns, and a porch swing. Along the side is a garden, Taylor helped me to build. Beau and I have a wonderful relationship. We currently have full custody of his kids, but he is still in the divorce process so not entirely sure we will keep it, but most likely.  Jolie (21) has a room downstairs. She quit Bravo and now works at a daycare. She is in college for early childhood education. She is dating Tyler, who is a few years older than her and a 9th grade math teacher. She seems to really like him, but I don't know him well. She spends about half her time at his house with her dog, Boo. Adrianna (18) graduated high school in May. She works at Bravo and on her way to being a server. She will start college at Cincinnati State in the fall, continuing the ultrasound technology progam she ...
