@LoveMyRotty thanks for this thread

* What's something positive that recently happened to you? I found a new app for mindfulness that is free and without ads call Healthy Mind

* What's something negative you are struggling with? Winter is approaching and I am not a winter person.

@purpleTree4652

Hi @purpleTree4652! How are you?

That's really positive, an appreciation at work is always something nice, well done!

What about your vocal tremor? Is it something specific or is it due to anxiety?

If you feel like to share I would be glad to hear from you, if not I wish you to find a way to improve with your struggle and to feel better. ❤️

@LoveMyRotty


I am in the midst of changing career. Have gone back to studying. Overall I am progressing towards my goals. :)


But now the time to apply for jobs is coming closer which is overwhelming me. Since last week I have been procrastinating the things I got to do due to the fear of failure and anxiety. 😐

Hi @ventallout!

First of all thumbs up for you and the effort you put to achieve your goal!

Now it seems like the moment to put it into practice (with a new career path) is coming.

It's understandable to feel overwhelmed, it's your dream coming true!

I hope you can be proud of yourself and see that the main success is already achieved with what you have done.

Keep on going! 👍

* What's something positive that recently happened to you?

I registered for the subject I chose for MA preparation.

* What's something negative you are struggling with?

I am a MA student in that subject with PHD students and I started this subject later than them and the subject's contents are different from anything I have studied before, and there is a research I have to finish this week and I have no enthusiasm to start it, so I feel so stressed.

I am also stressed because I am about to be thirty years old next January and I am still jobless and single and that I wasted my twenties and I still nothing.

@DinaElwy .... I hear you. I am in the similar situation. I too feel overwhelmed and stressed... I too don't know how to cope up... But something I learnt from my friends who were consistent though slow... Eventually they were happy.. Hard work and right direction matters more than quick success in the wrong direction (I wasted my 20s doing this and atleast now I don't want to). So hang in there and keep working. You are not alone.

* What's something positive that recently happened to you?

I've been in touch with the woman I'm crazy about for a couple of weeks now, through texts.

* What's something negative you are struggling with?

I know she's just being friendly, and I don't know how to continue the conversation, either. Also, I've been putting on weight like crazy.

@WharfRat

Hello WharfRat,

be patient and see how things go with her. At worst you know you have a good friend which seems to be positive itself..or not?

Let me know what you think of it, if you want.

Fingers crossed for you! 🤞

@LoveMyRotty

She's a very busy person, running her own company (she's a self-made woman, and quite well off). I didn't know these things when I fell for her. She lives far away, too. I want her to feel good and healthy - she has osteoarthritis now - and try but don't know what to say. I can't cure her health problems through texts.

I'm unemployed because of C-PTSD and am financially dependent on my mom, and I'm 60 years old!

Positive:

1. My friend of 24 years is okay and made it out of the flood waters with rescue, safely 2 days ago.

2. I'm able to narrow down what exactly needs to be seriously worked on.

3. I have been able to think clearly, remember somethings from today and I feel very blessed with this today.

@scarletPear1945

Hello 👋

Nice to read you 😊

Sorry for the bad memories, also nightmares are something challenging to deal with because it's not easy to let the bad sensations fade away once we wake up.

The birthday party surprise is a super nice gift 🎁🎈... happy belated birthday 🎉

Cheers!
