Hello dear friend. How are you today? Keep pushing through the struggles.
It has been a long week, thankfully the weekends are coming soon. Here are some questions to help you determine how you feel.
1. How are you today? Truthfully, don't sugar coat it.
2. What made you happy this week? If you can't think of anything, then mention what makes you happy generally.
3. What is your favorite song you enjoy listening to, a lyric from a song,or personal quote? Pick anyone you like, you can even answer the three. You do you.
Taglist: (You can't see it because you don't have X-ray vision :p)

1. I feel upset today - full with stress.
2. Lisette offers me pizza dinner, it was fun with her.
3. A quote I love is :"sometimes to solve your own problems is to help someone else"
@littleBear2018
Can I call you bear?
Ah, today isn't a good day for you, It happens and I understand. Try to practice some self-care to help you relax.
Pizza is bliss. It tastes better with a friend. I'm glad that was a good memory.
I totally agree with that quote, helping others makes you feel better. That is part of the reason I am a listener.
Talk to you later,
Nicole.
I especially love your quote. @littleBear2018
Hey
It's la, I'm a Muslim teenager
Is there anyone with whom I can share all my thoughts and sorrows? Anyone here feels lonely like me? I want someone to listen to me without judging me. I feel upset mostly 😔
@quickwittedLychee3104
Hello La,
We go through a lot of negative emotions sometimes, and it is helpful when we are supported by a kind person.
And a listener is exactly that La. You can connect with a listener by clicking 'Live Chat With A Free Listener'
or personally selecting a listener by pressing the 'Browse Listener' icon after you click on the 'Chat' button.
I am hopeful that you will find someone you connect with, try to keep an open-mind when talking to this kind person.
Thank you for reaching out La.
@lightTriangle7748
Thank you triangle, I couldn't have said it better!
Yes there are lots of people here who can understand your loneliness. We will never judge you for feeling sad or upset. Please share here any time. We want to know your story. @quickwittedLychee3104
I am ok. I hope you are well?
my week has been slow and I have been feeling a little under the weather but ok
My favorite song, Shackles on my feet
Thank you for the check-in today, have a good day
@scarletPear1945
I am holding up. It meant a lot to me when you asked about how I am doing. Thank you.
I am glad that even when you aren't really doing well, you're still pushing and holding on. Better days ahead.
Take a break if you need it. A suggestion that I will also take.
I haven't heard that song before, I will look it up, sounds interesting.
You are welcome.
Thank you for sharing and also caring <3
Glad to hear that things are okay over all. @scarletPear1945
I'm just kind of okay to day. It's a little better than I have been. Things don't feel as bad but I'm having trouble picking things I want to do, and I've been feeling really lonely. I feel like there's not much I can do about it.
For something that made me happy this week, I guess playing games with my husband.
What kinds of things to do are you trying to decide between? @BlueBetta
@bestVase7265 I have some crafts I want to try. I'd like to try playing violin because I did when I was a kid, but I'm worried that I won't stick with it, and it's making me wonder if I should even try. I'm wondering if I'm just trying to stop feeling lonely by doing things.
I need to get my car repaired, and clear out things I don't want anymore from the apartment, but I'm just having a hard time starting anything.
Why not try just one thing - the easiest thing that you can think of? Sometimes it is getting over the hump of starting. It is a big hump though. @BlueBetta
@BlueBetta
The way you described it, made me picture exaclty how you feel. There's a line of a song I really like, 'But feeling lonely don't mean you're alone'. It makes me realise that if I look closely, there's someone who actually enjoys my company.
Do you practice self-care? Sometimes, not doing some self-care once in a while. can make you feel a bit irritated and burdened.
That seems nice, I hope the two of you had fun.
The last check-in question you missed was,' What is a favorite song you enjoy listening to, a song lyric you like or a quote?'
I would like to hear your comments on that.
Thank you for sharing today, I pray that there are better days ahead, or atleast days that you feel good.
@MyNameIsNicole Thanks! I've been trying to keep up a self-care routine, and I think it's been helping.
For a line from a song " I pray the blades of grass to find forgiveness in the weeds". It's from This Too Shall Pass by Danny Shmidt.
@BlueBetta
Yay. Progress! Try to be consistent with the routine. I know that there will be days when you don't have enough willpower to do it, but keep pushing.
That's a very thought provoking line.
Let's discuss it.
What do you think about it?
@MyNameIsNicole I'm not really sure what to think about it. It sounds like it could be finding forgiveness for people who make things harder for you. Or being forgiven for things you've done.
@BlueBetta
this is such a late reply,
how do you do though?
1. How are you today? Truthfully, don't sugar coat it.
I'm ok. It's weird being on my own time not at the wim of another person.
2. What made you happy this week? If you can't think of anything, then mention what makes you happy generally.
The best I can do is distracted. Doing outdoors stuff and gaming.
3. What is your favorite song you enjoy listening to, a lyric from a song,or personal quote? Pick anyone you like, you can even answer the three. You do you.
People like that security guard don't really mean what they say. They just got their own issues. All's I got to do is keep being a good person. No matter what, good things'll come my way. Everything will happen for me, as longas I never have "no" in my heart. From Joe Dirt and a song Braking Down by I Prevail https://youtu.be/6ZkI3ASz8Lg
It is great that you have the opportunity to organize your own time. I can understand why that would feel a little weird. @Flornhope
@bestVase7265 Since I can do as I want some days I can get a lot done but others I barely get out of bed.
And both are okay. Give yourself time to rest with no guilt. @Flornhope
@Flornhope
I get that. Is it a good weird or a bad weird? Or is it a meh?
Those activities sound fun, it kind of seems like you're stalling from something.
I love that lyric. It is true, we do have to remember that everyone is facing their own battles and may come off hurtful sometimes because of it. It's because they are hurting.
Thank you for always being part of the check-ins, you're like a VIP member now :p
@MyNameIsNicole Its both. At times it's a good weird and other times it's bad. I dont have any of my things here yet so I dont have much for options on things to do. But it used to be that I had it be ready to leave for a afternoon or a month or so. So I never started anything that got to involved. O man a VIP! I'm not sure what to do. I hope it's in a good way.
@Flornhope
That makes sense. In the long-term, do you think it's a good thing?
Yes, I definitely meant in a good way. I salute you, my VIP member <3
Thank you for always sharing, It's great to have you <3
@MyNameIsNicole I don't think it was good in the long run. I haven't ever started a long term project or anything that might take me learning a new skill because of it.
@Flornhope
I was asking about when you said 'not being on the wim on another person'.
Is that good for you in the long-term?
I understand that though. Is there a reason why?
Do you feel okay or bothered about that?
@MyNameIsNicole I'm sorry. I messed up. It's good in the long run. There's lots of stuff that I never had the option to do, so I never even thought about it. Lots for me to get the hang of. Just me being able to decide things or all the options a normal person has is different for me. I know I'm a grown person but in a lot of ways its like I was living as a child. Not able to go to places when I want or what places I even want to go to. To be able to make plans for doctors appointment or anything like that. I guess I was very sheltered and deprived of alot of things. I can just get up and go somewhere at anytime. It's all different for me.
@Flornhope
It's okay, I figured it was a mistake.
I understand that. It's like being free, right?
Transitioning from being sheltered to being independent is exciting and at the same time overwhelming.
@MyNameIsNicole Ya. Free and not locked up on a remote island. Options are a option. A normal person like you see on the tv or in person.

1. How are you today? Truthfully I am quite wracked with stress due to mocks coming soon and the uncertainty of grades but I am managing :) I'm actually doing relatively well!
2. What made you happy this week? This week I actually got a huge idea of what I could do to make money instead of being hired so I can complete college fully! So that's really great.
3. What is your favorite song you enjoy listening to, a lyric from a song,or personal quote? My favourite song to listen to has to be 'glitter and gold' right now. A lyric that stays with me is 'you love the applause but hate the attention' and ooo my favourite quote is definitely 'when you know a man's greatest passion you know his greatest weakness'
I hope you all are well 💙
@KatieTheBigRockOne
I am well Katie, thank you for asking.
Oooh Exams, I don't like them. I am thrilled to see you're holding up, you're gonna ace that test! (As long as you study :P)
That is great. You must have been like, Ahhh, write that down, write that down!
I love that song lyric, It reminds me, of well me. Is it from the same song you said was your favorite?
And that quote is super correct. *subtly writes that down.
Thank you for checking in, I'll talk to you soon.
It sounds like you are doing well overall. You should be proud of yourself for coming up with a plan. @KatieTheBigRockOne
@bestVase7265 it is, I'm really glad I found out my options :) I hope you're doing good too 💙
1. How are you today? Truthfully, don't sugar coat it.
I'm really exhausted those days and very unmotivated to keep going. A lot of things I do don't get me much outcome, espacially the hard things that I have to spend way too much of my energy on. I hate that my mother has it easy in a way, compared to me, she just hopped on the train "well young folk learn faster so I won't even try". She doesn't speak the language of the country very well so of cource I stuck helping her and doing most of the work as if I'm her secretary. And she has the mindset that I'm supposed to want to do that, since we're family. I hate it so much and I cannot describe how much I wanna get out of here just for the sake of being away from my family - as far as I can allow myself. But I'm oh so not sure I'll live long enough to do that, everything feels aweful, I'm not sure I want to keep going. Almost nothing brings me joy, only when one of my friends messages me from time to time. Other than that I don't think I even smile much anymore. Everything is just dull and I'm so tired of all of it.
2. What made you happy this week? If you can't think of anything, then mention what makes you happy generally.
My friend said that I look good. I rarely take pics of myself and even though I know that I'm pretty average (like I could looks way worse) I still hate looking at myself in the mirror sometimes. Those compliments are rare (since I take pics once a three months or so lmao) and I cherish them very much, they make me feel better even in the long run I think.
3. What is your favorite song you enjoy listening to, a lyric from a song,or personal quote? Pick anyone you like, you can even answer the three. You do you.
Last month I really got into listening to The Correspondents, especially "The Washington Square", "What Did I Do?" and "Puppet Loosely Strung". I just love the guy and the style of it all, idk.
@eugenNerd
Hello Eugen,
I love seeing you around.
I take it that it hasn't been such a great week, hopefully the weekends would be better.
Your mum...is overwhelming. That is so much pressure on you, and it hurts especially because you don't want to do it but you're being forced. Is there somethng you want to do about that?
Aww, you must have felt really good eh? Cheers to that friend for making you feel happy.
I haven't heard of those artists. I am tempted to go look it up.
Thank you Eugen, please stay safe <3
@MyNameIsNicole hi Nicole, I really like seeing you around as well, your posts bting me a lot of joy.
Yeah that was a hard week, maybe the weekend would be easier but I don't think so.
The only exit of this all is moving out I guess, even thogh I know I'd carry all of my personal problems with me, but being a bit more alone and far from the relaives sounds good so far. I understand that talking and explaining why I don't like their attitude would be better in a long run or something, but I'm not sure I want to keep the family anymore. I just want some rest.
Yepp, I only have a small amount of friends but they are the best of the best ones, I adore them.
I really reccomend you to check them out, I hope you'll like them!
Thank you for the reply, hope your weekend would be good.
@eugenNerd
Thank you Eugene.
Yeah, I totally understand that. It makes sense.
Do you plan to move out?
That's really nice, I prefer having a close tight circle of friends than a large group that I don't connect with.
I will check them out, I love all kinds of music.
@MyNameIsNicole yeah I do plan to move out, maybe through studies maybe find a job outside, it's hard to make plans right now while I hardly manage my first year of bachelor.
And indeed, those close-circle friends always bring the most joy. I don't mind the friends I occasionaly make in uni/classes but usually they are not as good ig? It's still great fun to hang out with them tho.
@eugenNerd
I totally agree.
Yeah, I mean those can go into long-term goals right? You're focusing on surviving college right now :p
Lemme lend you my battle armour, it's a tough war out there.
I concur to that statement, I am more comfortable with my small tight group of friends than my large group. I just feel more at home, I guess. I'm also not a fan of social situations, so I don't really do well in front of large crowds or big spaces.
How about you?
Oh and how was your day?
@MyNameIsNicole
Yep, the thought that something is a long-term goal does soothe the mind to be honest, but you know, complaining about things still helps heh. Thank you kindly for the armor tho :)
Big gatherings can be extremely hard to handle but sometimes I can vibe with the crowd and then it can be quite enjoyable. But tbh I can see form your point most of the time - meeting with ppl I suppose to know (co-students for example) usually leave me really nervous and sad and unworthy. But still socializing can be good some days
I'm good for the moment, thank you for asking! Things are still tiring but ig I'll have to deal with it for now. Hope you're doing well as well :)
I am so sorry that it is hard with your mom right now. It is probably especially difficult due to the virus. Spend time away when you get a chance. There will be opportunities for new paths in the future. Keep looking for them.@eugenNerd
1. How are you today? Truthfully, don't sugar coat it.heart
Spacey and down. I had like 3 good days for the first time in months, then usually fell apart and today I just lost it and am spiraling. I can't focus on anything.
2. What made you happy this week? If you can't think of anything, then mention what makes you happy generally.cheeky
I was able to focus on Monday and Tuesday. They weren't great but i felt normal at least.
3. What is your favorite song you enjoy listening to, a lyric from a song,or personal quote? Pick anyone you like, you can even answer the three. You do you.wink
Do the next right thing - Frozen II
@EternalWombat42
That's not good. Please try to take a break from whatever makes you feel overwhelmed. Resting really helps in your overall mental health.
I'm not saying that would magically solve the problem, but it's a start you know?
I haven't heard that song, I haven't even watched Frozen 2 yet. I'm scared that it won't be as good as the first Frozen. Oh olaffff.
Thank you for spending time to share, I appreciate it.
@MyNameIsNicole I feel like alli do is rest. It happens when I try to do anything.
Frozen II is really good! Especially if you liked the first. It's a lot more heavy and deep. Olaf doesn't disappoint. It's also the best Thanksgiving movie ever (not that there's a lot of competition, but it far exceeds any jolly movie about family dinners or turkeys).
@EternalWombat42
I get that. Maybe you should try a different kind of self-care? One that makes you feel energetic.
Ooooh, you're really making me feel excited to watch it. Olaffff is the best :p
It can be really hard when you can't concentrate. @EternalWombat42
@MyNameIsNicole
I'm really struggling today. I feel really anxious and I'm having a hard time caring about anything. Very little makes me happy these days and sometimes I feel so stressed and alone that it's like someone is sitting on my chest.
I watched The Prince of Egypt and enjoyed it. It's a really beautifully made movie and the music is absolutely haunting.
I don't have a favorite song per se, but Sing by Pentatonix is a song I like when I'm feeling happy and Little Wonders by Rob Thomas is a song I like pretty much always but especially when I'm feeling down. It's bittersweet but it helps me remember it's the little moments of happiness that count.
@Rebecca031
I love Pentatonix, They make me feel like I'm in a fanstasy with their melodic voices. Kevin Olusola is my favorite, he inspires me.
That is rough Rebecca, so much stress and pressure can make you feel really upset and overwhelmed. Is there anything you do to rewind that gives you a sense of calmness?
I haven't seen that movie, agh I haven't seen any movie. All I do is read read. I am not a grandma.
@MyNameIsNicole
I am just done with my life . I see no hope of life getting any better 😢.
@calmsoulmeet
Calm, I am really sad you feel this way. Is there a way I can support you?
Do you want personal support? You can connect with a listener, they are amzing people that always understand.
If you don't want to, you can do some steps on your growth path. I have done some, and it helps me in the long-term.
@calmsoulmeet I am feeling the same,it is so difficult to cope,talking to somebody ABT the problems make them worse plus those frnds feel disturbed and think u r nagging,they think ur hyper and tend to avoid u,I feel like I am a misfit
@Rokaiyyaanis Hello.
I understand that struggle. I can relate to it because I have gone through that as well.
But here's the thing- there are people who are willing to listen to you, without you asking or feeling like you're annoying.
And you can't find them if you don't look. It's not good the way those group of people treat you.
You deserve more.
You can always connect with a listener to listen to you. Whatever you want to say or vent about. They don't mind, they just want to hear you.
I agree that it can be hard to open up, but it can also be hard to not open up.
Why not give a go?
Just click the 'Connect With A Free Listener' (they make it sound like it's a promo offer, but don't mind that) or you can message a listener that you feel you would connect with.
Please feel free to make yourself heard, whether it's in the forums or the chatrooms or in 1-1 conversations. Even in real life.
You deserve to be heard.
@MyNameIsNicoleThank you
