Hi. Today I'm okay as of right now. Friday the doctor found cysts on my ovary so today I go in for a ultrasound to see how bad and if there are more. One actually ruptured on me. My plans for this week are to take it easy and go play at the park with my little one. We love the fresh air and not being stuck inside all day. For self care I been going out more playing at the park or in the backyard picking flowers with my daughter. I slowed down with all social media and I spend more time with the family.
I remember having a cyst that burst. Those are quite painful. I hope that you are doing better now. It is great that you are spending more time with family. @tealApple7629
I am feeling better thank you. This week has been super busy. Today is park day so I'm looking forward to that. I have a 2 1/2 year old that keeps me on the go.
Little ones do keep you busy. Glad to hear that you aren't in lots of pain. @tealApple7629
Me too. It's bad enough I hurt mentally if that makes any sense, hurting both physically and mentally is just too much to handle.
I can definitely understand that. The combination of the two is really daunting for me as well.@tealApple7629
I'm tired.
TMI, I was surprised by my period and had to clean up a mess before I could even take my meds. And while I'm on the subject of meds, I took my last dose of anti-depressants on Friday and haven't heard back from my pharmacist about why my doctors are dragging their feet. I made the decision after a call with a friend that even if my therapist suddenly calls me up (which I sincerely doubt since she missed last month's appointment) I would have to politely tell her that I'm just not getting enough from our sessions and want to stop entirely.
I got a webcam yesterday so I can do interviews from home, but I might need to get an ethernet cord to make the cam less laggy on my WIFI. I'll call up my job developer since he's either not getting my emails or just not noticing them and update him on what I've been trying to do- getting the webcam and searching for jobs online.
For Camp NaNoWriMo I wrote 6,472 words by midnight, so at least I'm not so far behind.
A building on my block caught fire (I think I saw a report saying the fire started in the attic), and I got to stand outside with my neighbors and watch the firemen do their work.
And that's it. I'm going to go out and get chocolate or something, then wait and see if my other late package is going to arrive.
Take good care of yourself. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate, but you are trying to move forward. @integrityblues
@bestVase7265
Thanks
Check in Questions:
1. How are you doing?
Well, not good. Had a few pretty harsh mental breakdowns lately. It's getting up and down a lot. Can't even do homework.
2. What are your plans for this week?
Tomorrow is therapy, and then I plan the rest of my week with her. But not much. Hopefully I'm better next week.
3. What have you recently done for self care?
. Too tired. Just worked out like always, watered the flowers and slept a lot. But I can't really say if that's good or bad for me.
It is hard being on the roller coaster. I hope that the therapy helps. @BlueOasis420
Doing my best. All seems to be a whirlwind of chaos taking bites from me. Got no plans for the week, just to take every day as it comes. and go to sleep without hate or regrets. For myself i try to keep my core stable, go to sleep before midnight and cold showers.
Do cold showers help your mood? It is an interesting idea. @lucidpanic
@bestVase7265
Well i suggest you watch some videos of Vim Hof. As for me, they made me more resilent against cold temperatures. I can run in 13°C weather in tshirt without much discomfort for hours. They give also a kind of satisfaction of being able to deal with that small challenge and discomfort. so that is also a boon. I believe this translates to a little more patience. It will not heal anyone from depression, but it provides a stone to build on.
Since I live it the tropics, I doubt that it would have quite the same effect. 
However, I love the idea of finding small challenges like that to make healing more possible. @lucidpanic
Check in Questions:
1. How are you doing? I'm all over the place. My guy and I are dealing with his ex and she has delusions that they they are still going out and that he will even marry her. He afraid to bring her to reality because she has tried to take her life several times. (She just lost her only family last year, and now is all over the place.) I am really all over the place because of it. . . she is trying to make friends with me and do a sister-girlfriend/wife thing. I am not sure I can truly do it. However I love him so much.
I also am having issues with going out with fear of getting the virus. I try not to watch the news, but my uncle always has to know what is going on, even though none of it has anything to do with him. (I do not just have my own room to go too.) I also trying to find a better place for my family, but they are rasing rent everywhere. I feel like a failure.
2. What are your plans for this week? I have grocery shop, exercise, write, clean, and pray.
3. What have you recently done for self care? Listen to music, paint my nails, shop
Have you been able to get a vaccine yet? It does help a bit with the virus fears. @Rebekahwriter13
hello! i am currently doing alright. this week i'm hoping to get some paperwork done so i can get a promotion at work as well as get my second dose of the vaccine and check to see if there's anything i need to do for my college. this weekend i'm also spending the night at my friend's house and we're going to have some fun. for self care today i played with some of my online friends and listened to music with them :))
Listening to music with friends sounds great. It is nice to hear that you are doing fairly well. @peythefish
@lovelyWhisper66
I have run out of steam . No energy left in me at all . ☹️☹️☹️
You and me both. Trying to take lots of mini-breaks in order to keep going. It has to help soon.@calmsoulmeet
@bestVase7265
I also want to share something with you. .So right now the country that I am residing in is going through extremely tough and stressful times because of Covid . So many people are dying daily because of lack of oxygen and other amenities .
And here I am, safe and sound at home with my family . I think how ungrateful it is of me to cry because of my petty life issues whereas people around me are going through enormous pain . I feel that I shouldn't even be allowed to cry / sulk over my issues that are nothing compared to what everyone else is going through.
Isn't it ...
Comparing yourself to other people isn't really helpful. Their pain is their pain and your pain is your pain. People go through different stuff in life and depression can be really, really bad. There are some days that I wish I had cancer instead because then people might understand better. But ultimately such thinking is stupid because this is the problem that I have been given to try and overcome, not something else. You are doing the best you can with what you have. All you can do is keep up the fight. @calmsoulmeet
@bestVase7265
That's a very valid point you made. Comparing our pains with others is futile and useless . Thanks for your valuable inputs once again .
1. How am I doing? Honestly I'm not doing too good, working through a divorce and it all just hurts something awful 2. What are your plans for this week? Honestly I don't really have any, other than just trying to let go of the situation and just try to heal 3. What have you recently done for self care? Self care has just pretty much taken a back seat after the blow of this week. May try to take a shower and make an attempt to eat and sleep if possible.
I am so sorry to hear. Give yourself time to grieve. That can be your self care for right now. There are lots of emotions to sort through. Even little things like eating and showering are self care right now. They are important and they matter. Feel free to check back any time.@DonaldKelly
1. How are you doing? I am doing all right.
2. What are your plans for this week? Today I have my councillor, Tomorrow I have nothing. Friday I won't have anything. Saturday is the same.
3. What have you recently done for self care? I have stopped driving at my fiance's request.
How do you feel about not driving? Is it a relief in some way?@Offmytrack
@bestVase7265
It is a relief in some ways, a problem in other ways. I don't drive much these days, but I have things I really want to do; such as taking my disabled friend shopping, going to my chiropractor, going to my friend's house every other week (he comes to my house on the weeks between), go to Costco. Really a lot of things.
I am sure that it will be quite an adjustment. Sending peace. @Offmytrack
@bestVase7265
Thank you, bestVase7265. I appreciate you very much.
Have a good weekend. @Offmytrack
I've never hated having bad neighbors more than I do right now.
Yesterday someone was evicted and they broke in several times yesterday evening and through the night. I missed my apartment manager's texts about it yesterday, woke up to it today, then ran into the evicted tenant and her boyfriend trying to break in again this morning!
I stopped them and got them to leave once I called the police and started giving their descriptions, and to be a jerk, the boyfriend started claiming that he had a gun upstairs, which made an extremely tense situation even worse.
I just had to talk to an officer over the phone and they kept asking me why I didn't want to be listed as the victim- I mean, I'm just a tenant who lives on the same property and caught them breaking in, so I did what my apartment manager said to do if I caught them at it again!
I gave the officer all the information he would require about the situation (the tenant and her boyfriend were evicted on Tuesday, they keep breaking in, so would the police please send a car around the block to discourage the evicted tenants from coming back to break in again?) and then I apologized for any inconvenience this may have caused, hung up, and updated the apartment manager.
He gave me a picture of the eviction notice attached to the former tenant's door, just in case the cops wanted some proof, and I noticed that it was the same one that kept being waved around yesterday by the tenant's boyfriend. The apartment manager wasn't surprised that the notice was ripped off the door.
And that's it. I have to keep my window open and my headphones off because I need to make sure I can hear them trying to break in again, and since a different tenant had been given the task of calling the cops last night he made it really clear that he didn't care if anyone broke in or damaged stuff on the property since having to handle it only inconvenienced him.
So I'm the only one who can stop it if no one else in either building cares and it is a lot of pressure for me.
If someone starts threatening you, then you are a victim. It shouldn't be all on your shoulders to handle this. Give the task over to other people whenever you can. @integrityblues

I've tried. No one cares. No one cares about property damage that will increase the rent.
I get stuck in these sorts of situations all the time because I'm the closest thing to an on site manager for the property.
I hope that things calm down soon. @integrityblues
