Not feeling well . Life is painful and chaotic.
@calmsoulmeet
I'm in this place too, sometimes. Today things aren't as bad as they've been.
Sometimes it helps me to think about how I would spend my day if it weren't for the chaos, and then assign a certain number of minutes tomorrow to worry, and spend the day as I planned.
Hopefully you find some kind of acceptance, whatever that looks like, soon.
Sending peace. What is making things chaotic right now?@calmsoulmeet
@bestVase7265
A lot actually . There are issues and problems from all corners . And major stressful problems at that. But I am trying what I can . Taking it one day at a time . Let's see .
How are you doing btw ? Do let me know .
1. Not well. I feel like my life is out of control. Too many twists are happening at once and I hate it. 2. I don’t even know. I guess the same as last week just work. I wish I could get a car but those twists mentioned before keep happening. Guess instead I’ll just focus on bettering my stream. 3. I streamed again, this time on a more community friendly platform.
It is kind of like being on a roller coaster sometimes isn't it?@Aworkman91
1. Absolutely fantastic!!!!! 2. Work on my A.I., do research for my book, do 1000 total bench presses — work out 5x, Make Kaffir Lime Chicken/Bell Pepper/Onion/Garlic/Jalapeño Soup, make Air Fryer Herbed Garlic Chicken, Take 100 photographs, Play Roblox with my Niece every day, Make Sliced BBQ Chicken with Saffron Rice and Carrots, Make cabbage slaw fancy Ramen for lunches, drink Matcha every day at least 5x per day, have 8pm bedtime so I can wake at 4:30 to work. 3. I did research for my book.
That sounds all so wonderful! I am glad that things are going well for you.@VidyaFord
Thanks and I’m active about it. Things aren’t going that way FOR me, I’M GOING WELL for things!!!!!
That is a wonderful way to describe it. It takes TONS of work. @VidyaFord
@lovelyWhisper66
Check in Questions:
1. How are you doing?
not especially well, my chronic migraines have been super bad lately and i have had to motivation to anything but go to sleep
2. What are your plans for this week?
trying to find healthy coping mechanisms for my depression and ptsd so i logged onto here again after not using it for months :) also going for a hike tomorrow because the weather is supposed to warm up, other than that.. nothing but work
3. What did you recently accomplish?
getting out of bed this morning, last week i performed very well at my job and recieved good feedback, i bought myself a new laptop, i spent a few hours talking to my little sister
Glad to see you here, but sorry that you are struggling. What kinds of coping mechanisms are you using now?@buggycasket
1. How are you doing?
I'm tired. I'm trying to finish the month with a total weight loss of 5 lbs so I can keep up with my New Year's Resolution to lose a total of 86 lbs in a year and reach a healthier weight according to the BMI. If I stick to dieting and getting exercise when I can, I might reach my goal by Sunday since I've already lost 4 lbs.
I went outside this morning to walk while it was still dark. My city's last coronavirus case update indicated my zipcode as having the second highest number of cases, so it kind of worries me to be outside around people. It was so windy when I went out that I could only walk to the coffee shop and back. I suppose even a little exercise is better than nothing, and I can supplement the walking I did with exercises I can do inside my apartment.
2. What are your plans for this week?
After Friday's phone appointment with my Work Incentive Planner, I said I'd try to activate my Ticket to Work as soon as possible. I gave myself a personal deadline of this week, preferably on Monday to get it over with, but I'm kind of nervous about doing it. I know I shouldn't put it off, but I'm just worried about getting started.
So if I don't get it done today, I'll try again the next day or the day after that. Just so long as I get it done this week.
3. What did you recently accomplish?
I made breakfast after coming back from my walk. I made scrambled eggs and added some diced up string cheese because I'm out of other kinds of cheese. It really wasn't that bad, though I was disappointed that the kale I would have added to the meal to round it out had started to rot in the package so I tossed it out. I was fine with eating lots of protein after exercising, though. Go keto?
Tomorrow I'll go shopping for something to replace the kale.
Exercising and dieting is great! I am so glad that you are working with someone to help you find a job again. Keep up the good work!@integrityblues
1. How are you doing?
Didn't sleep very well these last two nights for some reason but it's finally Monday so I can finally see some other people over work Zoom calls again (Thur-Mon is a no-interaction time for me, unfortunately). I'm happy to get to see my coworkers again, even if it means all my work hours have been reset.
I've also been enjoying doing more dream interpretation these last few weeks. At first I wasn't sure my therapist would be interested but she's willing to try whatever feels meaningful to me, which is meaningful in itself.
2. What are your plans for this week?
Same as usual, work and class. On Friday helping my family with something remotely. Hopefully it goes okay.
3. What did you recently accomplish?
Hm, this feels like a hard question. By my own standards, I've been doing well. I don't really have much to show externally, though. I work on a quarterly schedule, so my deliverables aren't produced until March. I guess I'm glad to feel satisfied internally, at least.
That is so nice to have a therapist that is so flexible. Sorry about the lack of sleep. That is always hard.@nordurnStar
i don't feel great. i haven't been for a long time. i keep having thoughts about stabbing myself through the heart. my thoughts keep spiralling towards made up scenarios in which i wreak havoc amongst the people i care about (and those i don't). i feel trapped and isolated, physically and mentally. i need to find a way out before i lose my mind.
You can find a path out. What kinds of things are you doing to cope?@necromenace
1. How are you doing? - I'm doing okay, A bit tired and sore.
2. What are your plans for this week?- On Sat I'm going to spend time with my parents.
3. What did you recently accomplish? - So far it's been setting up a good morning routine, so I've been happy with that.
What kind of morning routine? @Goldcherry2113
@bestVase7265 Well It takes me about an hour to fully wake up and go on about my routine. But I started doing mediation and yoga, I go for a walk, Eat and take a shower. Play with my cat! Then I come on here!
Very nice way to start your day! @Goldcherry2113
1. How are you doing? I am still not happy. My fiance' was angry with me last night. She apologized this morning, but I am still suffering.
2. What are your plans for this week? Not much. I still have all my "chores"; my chiropractor, my music lesson, my therapy. I plan to take a good hike, maybe tomorrow, and maybe another on Thursday.
3. What did you recently accomplish? Not much.
I am so sorry that you argued. Those situations are always painful. I hope that things are better today. @Offmytrack
@bestVase7265 Thank you, BestVase. I am doing much better today.
That is great to hear. @Offmytrack
