@EmmaE
Hey Emma
Thank you for your questions!
💗 how has your day/week been so far?
It's been okay :)
💗 what is one goal you have for yourself today?
Being patient with myself and others.
💗 what's a new or interesting thing you've been thinking about lately?
I'm not sure if there is one?
Take care
audienta
Glad to hear that things are going well and that you are able to be patient.@audienta
@audienta
i'm so glad to hear that your day/week has been okay! being patient with yourself and others is an amazing goal <3 thanks so much for sharing with us, take care!
@EmmaE
Hi Emma! Thanks for checking in on all of us, as always 😊
💗 How has your day/week been so far?
It's actually been pretty good. I'm a few days into my new job, and it's been going rather well. My coworkers are nice, the workload isn't too much, and it gives me both job experience and something to do with my time.
💗 What is one goal you have for yourself today?
Unwind without being too harsh on myself about it. Everybody needs to relax at some point or another.
💗 What's a new or interesting thing you've been thinking about lately?
A couple of book/book series that I've started reading. One of them, a standalone book, is called The Ballerinas by Rachel Kapelke-Dale. The other one, a comic series, is called Lavender Jack by Dan Schkade. I think I'll return to reading one or the other, if not both, later today.
@bestVase7265
Thank you, Vase! I'm still adjusting to the job, but I do think it's right for me at the time. :) Good to see you again! <3
New jobs are usually an adjustment because there is so much to learn. @TheAutumnWitch
@TheAutumnWitch
hi witch! aww, thank you so much for participating :)
it makes me so happy to hear that your job is going well! having nice coworkers and a lighter workload is really incredible.
unwinding and not being harsh on yourself is an amazing goal! you're completely right - we all deserve to relax and i really hope you're able to take some time for yourself <3
ooh, those sound like really great books, i hope you're enjoying them and i'd love to give them a read if they're good!
@EmmaE
Thanks, Emma!
I'm really glad and grateful for the job. (^_^) I don't see myself staying in it permanently, but for now it's quite ideal.
Hehe, I'm still working on that goal, but it definitely is a goal that deserves to be striven for!
They are quite lovely; Lavender Jack is hard to put down on top of being representative of minorities and the queer community, which I do like, and The Ballerinas accurately depicts the cutthroat world of ballet (I would know; I used to be a ballerina myself). Fair warning, though- The Ballerinas does have some mature themes and strong language to it.
@TheAutumnWitch
Congratulations on your new workplace progress!!
My day was rough. I could really use some support. Feeling very alone. Very overwhelmed
my goal is to get motivated again. Make sure I keep moving fwd for my two young boys.
thinking about faith and feebleness. People, God, codependence.
@Lalahdeedah1
i'm so sorry to hear that your day was rough :( i completely understand how challenging it is to feel alone and overwhelmed, but know that all of us here are with you and here for you <3
getting motivated sounds like a really incredible goal! it can definitely be hard, but taking small steps can be super helpful. wishing you nothing but the best :)
It is okay to feel overwhelmed, especially as a mom. Days can be rough sometimes but you are never alone here. Do you want to tell us more about what is going on?@Lalahdeedah1
Hello. It’s been a few things. Seems issues are piling up all at once & i don’t even have time to stop and take care of my mental health this week. Feeling very disappointed by others, lonely and overwhelmed
trying my best to stay positive. Hold on to my faith and overcome the challenges im going through right now. Thank u for your kindness and for caring.
What kinds of things would you do for your mental health if you could? Sometimes when you are really busy, even a few minutes is precious. One key for me is to accept that those few minutes (while a lot less than I want) are precious and valuable enough to keep me from collapsing.@Lalahdeedah1
one thing might be to meditate listen to soothing sounds and draw. But its hard to find that time.
Im stuck in a loop i feel.
That sounds utterly perfect. The next step is to find those precious few minutes. Look for a 10 minute block maybe while someone is napping or in the early morning or late evening. Do those kinds of mini spots exist for you?@Lalahdeedah1
Unfortunately the only 10 minute breaks I’ve been able to muster lately are the few wakeful times between sleep. And that’s been 2-3 hrs here and there. I left my husband on a trial separation back on Christmas, we share the children. I go from my house to his every morning for now because I don’t yet have a bed at my new place so I only take the boys once ln a while. So, I get there at 6-7am every morning take care of the children, he leaves for work, I stay with the boys until 12:15, drop them at daycare then run an errand or clean up, shower & log in to work by 1pm until 9pm. Put the boys to sleep, go home ( or deal with my acquaintances’ issues) and head to my house to sleep & cry then start all over.
Remind yourself that this schedule isn't going to last forever. Take those 10 minutes where you find them. When you are with the kids, maybe draw or color with them for a few minutes or put on calming music. Focus on the time that you do have rather than what is unavailable at the moment. Are weekends any better?@Lalahdeedah1
💗 how has your day/week been so far?
Quite nervous, but I am sleepy x_x
💗 what is one goal you have for yourself today?
I have no goal for today
💗 what's a new or interesting thing you've been thinking about lately?
Not really, just good old "pay all your debts"
@windSpirit
aww i hope you're able to get some rest! it's perfectly okay to not have a goal for today - it can be hard to think of one sometimes, but even just replying to this thread seems like a great accomplishment to me :) wishing you the best <3
Interesting --- what kinds of debts do you pay to yourself?@windSpirit
@EmmaE
1. Hmm, so far it's felt like a step back. It might get better if the snowstorms don't set things back even worse.
2. I have 5 important things to take care of. I want to get at least one done today.
3. One thing is that my dreams have been getting oddly prophetic lately, just in small ways, it makes me feel like there's something I need to pay attention to. Another thing is... Coming to terms with the fact that I need to push someone to do something heavily unpleasant so that worse things don't happen. It's not something I'm used to doing, but this is almost something of an intervention.
@Torean
i'm sorry to hear that it's felt like a step back :( the snow has been super heavy here too so i completely understand - i really hope it isn't making things worse for you! mother nature needs to take a break sometimes haha
i'm so happy to hear that you had 5 goals! i believe in you and your ability to get at least one done :)
wishing you the best, we're here for you <3
Interventions can be hard, but it sounds like you are doing the right thing. You can never know how they might turn out, but it is good to move things forward. @Torean
What?
@intellectualPark1169

💗 how has your day/week been so far?
💗 what is one goal you have for yourself today?
💗 what's a new or interesting thing you've been thinking about lately?
@EmmaE
1. how has your day/week been so far?
stressful, nothing new there
2. what is one goal you have for yourself today?
to sleep through the night
3. what's a new or interesting thing you've been thinking about lately?
a plan for my future, but i don't want to say what it is
@purpleTree4652
i'm sorry to hear that your day/week has been stressful :( i hope that it gets better for you and you're able to manage your stress!
i also hope you're able to get some good rest and sleep through the night - it can be really challenging to sleep all those hours in a row.
thinking about a plan for your future can be really helpful! and that's more than okay; you don't have to share anything you don't want to.
wishing you the best, we're all here with and for you <3
Sorry for the stress. Remember that those future plans are always a step at a time. Don't look too broadly and scare yourself. @purpleTree4652

Hello Emma , thanks for the check in . Unfortunately , there haven't been regular check-in posts lately in this forum section . So thanks for the post again .
Sadly , I am not doing too well . I am pondering over trying a new psychiatrist . It's a really tough and risky decision for me . I have been with my current one for the past 5 years , but not making progress lately and feel it's time for a change .
The one psychiatrist that I have shortlisted has only about 2 years of experience as opposed to 20 odd years of my current doc . So , I don't know if I should opt for him. It's an awful predicament to be in 😞😞😞😞

hi calm! of course :) we're really working on making check-ins more regular in our forum section and i hope that they'll become as regular as possible very soon!
i'm so sorry to hear that you aren't doing too well :( i completely understand how tough it is to think about changing psychiatrists! i hear you, thinking about making that switch is definitely tough and risky, but when we haven't made progress over so many years, i totally see why you feel you may need a change. i hope you're able to talk to those you trust and help figure out which option is best for you. if you're interested, sometimes it can help by making a simple pros and cons list and give each thing a weight to help decide which may be better for you. wishing you all the best! <3

Thank you so much , Emma :)....
💗 how has your day/week been so far?
Very very hard. Mentally, mostly. There has been work but I'm trying to keep on top of it. I'm worried about impending deadlines but I don't worry about those as much as I worry about the things my mind plays over and over again for me to hear.
💗 what is one goal you have for yourself today?
It's the end of the work day for me here so my last goal is personal! I hope to finish writing a few pages (just fiction, just for me) before bed.
💗 what's a new or interesting thing you've been thinking about lately?
I've been thinking about the symbolism of color! It's such a nice place to daydream for a few minutes between tasks. Nothing fancy I just googled some basic sites on it. Blue has had the most interesting variation in meaning I've seen so far. (:

i’m sorry to hear that your week was been hard :( having a lot of work can be really hard, and deadlines can be really worrisome as well. i’m glad to hear that you’re trying your best to keep on top of it though, that takes a lot of strength and i’m proud of you! having a personal goal of writing is incredible!! i hope whatever you’re writing is enjoyable, i’m sure it’s amazing :) and ooh, the symbolism of colour sounds really interesting and so lovely to learn about. blue is one of my favourite colours - you’ve definitely inspired me to look into that! wishing you the best for this upcoming week ❤️

Hello. I am just catching up on my notifications. That specific week was okay. One goal I had that week was to survive my first week of work - it was intense training but I'm okay and managed to do a couple of weeks already.
New things - I've started reading again which is funny because I enjoyed reading as a kid and the accessibility of the internet has made it easier to do.
@SynSavory
