Well hello there, friend!
1) I've got a lot going on still, but right now, I'm in quite a cheery mood! :D
2) On the downer side, I'm still getting stalked and harassed by my abusive family, with plenty of attempts at intimidation and threats of them taking me back by force. (<_<;;) On the plus side, I'm still safe with my friend who rescued me. Just the other day, I went out with him, my boyfriend, and my gal pal to get ice cream and boba! It was such a lovely time. <3
3) I can remind myself that a lot of good things have been and will be happening to me throughout my life! :D
Thank you for the check-in; I appreciate you!
P.S. Tagging the awesome peeps that I haven't updated in a while about my situation and of whom I especially miss here...
@Containedchaos @lumieremilkyway @purpletree4652 @Sher217 @ListeningSarinn
@TheAutumnWitch, Hi, Autumn! Thank you for checking in. God bless you, your boyfriend and your gal pal, whoever or whatever your God may be. I have a lot going on and can barely think straight to write. Take care. XO
@TheAutumnWitch Hello :)
It's good to know that you're holding good there even though things keep coming at you. Keep going! It must have been hectic for you to go through all of it at once. Are you holding up ok there. Is it still ongoing? It's good to know you have lovely time with your gal, friends and boyfriend. Good things take times to come and I'm sure after this hectic moment you had, it'll come to you naturally. You have my support here. I appreciate you too ![]()
So glad to hear that things are moving in a good direction. I think that part of how you know that you are coming out on the other side of the abuse is that your family becomes a bit more belligerent. They know that they can't control you any more so they get angrier. It is great that you are being strong.@TheAutumnWitch
@TheAutumnWitch
Hey Autumn 💜. I love being included in your updates on how you are and that you are safe!!! I smile each time you update that you are well ☺️
Since I'm here, I'd like to join in the Check in too!
How am I really? Tired but in a good way. I've been staying busy but have the happiness of knowing that it's all worth it 💜
What can I do to bring myself joy? That's easy this week. We had a litter of kittens show up at our door. Of course we took them in to care for them. The joy part comes when after dinner, at the end of the day, we sit down to watch tv for about an hour. We bring the kittens into the living room and let them play before bedtime. It's a joy watching a kitten discover their own feet or their siblings tail, lol. It makes me smile to watch them and I hope someone smiled by reading about them 💜

@TheAutumnWitch
Thank you so much for tagging me Autumn ❤️ I am really happy that you thought of me and wanted to tag me in a post here to share how you have been. I am glad you have a cheery mood for now, I really wish that sticks around with you for a while. I am sorry to hear that your abusive family is still trying to get you back by force, that's truly awful and I imagine it is very hard to get through but it seems that you are currently safe and around people who are helping you have a good time, I am really glad about that. I am sending you a lot of hugs and a ton of love to keep you happie happie. You're an amazing person, Autumn I wish that from here on, your life continues to get better 💛🌻
I have been doing well. I get to go to college soon, excited about that!
@lumieremilkyway
And thank YOU for replying to me, Lumie! (^w^) <3 It's definitely been a weird time- I knew the instant before I left my family that "This is gonna suck" in terms of having to deal with the collateral damage- but it does bring me comfort to know that I'm safe and in a better, healthier place. Aww, I appreciate the hugs and love! You certainly make me happie happie. (^_^) <3 You are amazing, too, Lumie, and I hope that you have a happy life!
You're going to college?! \(@__@)/ Congratulations!! I'm thrilled for you! As a college student myself (although I may need to put my own education on hold for now while I sort out my situation), I wish you the best of luck and a smooth transition into college life! (^o^) <3
I am so tired of feeling this depressed. I can’t even enjoy my birthday
Those "special" days can be really tough. Sending peace and hope. @djhoneygrahams
I am not well to be honest. I want to enjoy my summer before work and stuff comes around but parental figures dont seem as lenient as I would want atleast a little bit not too much and I'm just sad in general everyday inside :( like come on I want to go out with friends like why cant I do that on summer of all times...it sucks
Sending peace. That sounds like quite a rough start to your summer. Hopefully it will get better for you soon. @Misssunshine333
Hey, dear people! 1) I'm doing mostly fine I guess. I had a very tough week with many of ups and downs, but I managed it and so the median is good. 2) I'm started to open up about my depression and anxiety with my loved ones. It's very scary and new territory for me, for years I've pretended I am ok and everything is fine, but I can't and don't want to anymore. I am still petrified, nervous and relieved about it at the same time... 3) Sometimes it's some good food or a brand new plant. Sometimes it's my own progress in this fight. And sometimes nothing can bring me joy...
It is great that you are opening up. It is a scary journey, but ultimately a good one. Recognize that you and your loved ones will make mistakes along the way. But they want to support you because they love you and you are worthy of their love. Keep telling yourself that. @versatilePear4061
