@SnailPurple
How are you feeling? I'm not sure. I saw my therapist today so I have a lot of emotions going on in me right now.
What is going well for you? I had some quality time with my daughter. I saw my therapist which is good in a way.
What is not going well for you? I've had too much time to think lately. Therapy brought up a lot of issues that I will probably think about until my next session. My daughter goes to her dads for the week so I need to find something to distract.
What is one thing you like about 7 Cups? I like that I can talk with someone who gets it without being judged.
Hope you are doing well.
Hello @RedHawk6547
I understand feeling this way after a therapy appointment. This is pretty normal :) I'm proud of you for going to therapy and working through your issues <3 I'm glad you were able to see your daughter! I hope you can have some fun and be okay while she is at her dad's <3 I'm glad you have found nonjudgemental listeners :)
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
1) How are you feeling?
Tired, but ok.
2) What is going well for you?
I finished a stack of grading today, and I'm done wth that for the academic year. I went to therapy today. I like my new therapist.
3) What is not going well for you?
Someone I used to work with contacted me today and asked to talk, and I didn't say no even though boundaries and not getting toxicked are good. I basically don't want to disappoint, so I do things that destabilize me and aren't good for self-care. My therapist looked at me today and was like "I don't want to be dramatic... But this is how people die" about how much I have been pushing myself lately.
4) What is one thing you like about 7 Cups?
I kind of like how we can help support each other here, when I feel like in real life there are people who are so different we wouldn't even feel like the other one could ever understand. I feel sure that if you and I passed each other in the street, there would be no chance of ever talking or thinking the other was struggling with SH. Idk, I think its kind of cool. And sad in its own way.
Hello @1morday
I hope you can rest soon! Congrats on finishing your work for the year! I hope you have a fun summer break and I'm glad you like your new therapist. Finding one you like is crucial to healing. It sounds like you have been pushing yourself a lot lately though. Do you think you will have some time for self-care soon? How did you feel when your therapist said that to you? I love your response to question four <3
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
Hey Snail!
Thanks. I finished a big stage of a project today and it went well. I have been really pushing it tbh. I guess when my therapist said that I was like I know self-care is important. I think about it. I talk about it. I tell other people to do it. I try to do it myself, but alway in balance to other stuff, and often the balance gets thrown and I end up putting other people first and self-care gets dropped. And I was like, why do I find it so easy to say I prioritize something and then it doesn't actually happen - like I don't effectively prioritize self-care.
Literally I wish I was changing. But I just allowed myself to get pressured into something by students and a fellow teacher. It will be fun and show I care. But it will be a late night, and will mean I either don't work out tomorrow or I do on 4 hours of sleep. I just really am driven by wanting not to disappoint. I'll work it out, but...
Thanks for being there!
@SnailPurple
1) How are you feeling? I am awful.
2) What is going well for you? I went to my first concert by myself.
3) What is not going well for you? My family keeps on bullying me.
4) What is one thing you like about 7 Cups? One thing that I like about 7 cups is there are people on here that can help us.
Hello @powerfulscarlet2729
I'm sorry to hear you are feeling awful. Hopefully, chatting about what is going on will help you feel at least a little bit better :) Being bullied is hard, but it can be especially hurtful when it comes from family. I hope you know that whatever they are saying isn't true and you deserve to be surrounded by people who respect you and care about you. Congrats on going to your concert! Who did you see? I'm glad you feel helped on 7 Cups <3
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
