Hello
I'm doing OK, how about you?
This weekend I'm going to be celebrating my birthday. What are your plans?
@Tatumallen,
Happy Birthday!
@MeaningfulSilence
Hi, Silence,
1. How are you today?
I woke up nervous today. I had to take care of some business this morning. Now I'm at home resting.
2. What's the plan for the weekend?
I'm mostly relaxing at home for the rest of the day, except for some housework. I'm working Saturday and Sunday.
One of my biggest challenges is my husband, who has CPTSD, may be Bipolar, and is definitely a Highly Sensitive Person, with addictive/compulsive tendencies. Since he retired, we are together at home all day, and since Covid, we are together without any outside interests. It's a challenge to avoid becoming very co-dependent.
Complicating this are some recent added stressors, to wit;
He quit smoking pot two months ago, and stopped spending compulsively at the same time, initially with much drama, anger, and anxiety.
He had a falling out with his psychiatrist of 20 years, and is looking for a new one.
One of his daughters-in-law committed suicide just days before Christmas, the other daughter-in-law went into rehab just two weeks later and is now kicking my husband's son out of the house. In both situations, there are grandchildren involved.
So, after an absence from 7 Cups, I am back, in need of a place to vent, process, share, and recover. Thank you for still being here!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹
@RideaRainbow
Hello RideaRainbow, hope you enjoyed the musical evening
Thanks for sharing, cheers! 💐
Oh yes it was super fun. Went with my besties which was added excitement
* How are you today?
I'm having some issues with my digestive system. I have an appointment with a gastroenterologist in a month, the soonest I could get.
* What's the plan for the weekend?
Just the usual weekend - frozen pizza (Not very healthy, but maybe I'll change that tradition soon), for lunch and supper tomorrow - eat half the pizza for each meal; watch a movie or two, play dominoes with my mom
@MeaningfulSilence
Hello:
* How are you today?
I am...okay.
* What's the plan for the weekend?
No specific plan. Maybe go for a walk if I’m physically able.
@UberRuminator
Hi UberRuminator, nice to read you 😊
I'm glad you're okay, if you then went for a walk would you like to share how it was, what you liked about it and if weather was good?
Cheers!
@MeaningfulSilence
I did manage to go for a short walk - about 30 minutes. It was much colder than expected and I did have some discomfort while walking.
@MeaningfulSilence
Hello!
Its been a while since I’ve checked in😞… I am doing okay, just been working and not much time for much else. Have been undergoing therapy, seeing my psychiatrist and trying to figure out a lot of things. Being diagnosed with BPD, and trying to figure out “who I am?” has been hard.
But I’m hopeful and realize this is going to be a long process.
Definitely will try to spend more time here. You all have been such a great help and listeners. So thankful for this community 🙏🏻 ! Hope you all have a great week ahead.
@forcefulFriend4768
Hello there forcefulFriend476, it surely requires lot of energy to catch up with everything, glad you are taking the steps useful to understand what can help you better to feel well.
Remember that you are not the diagnosis so try not to look at it like a label but a definition that helps you understanding triggers, difficulties and coping mechanism more useful to it.
Take care 💐
