1) My week has been okish. I'm currently grieving the loss of my career after taking a medical leave from work. I'm actually doing a bit better today slowly building my clients back up. 2) Something positive has been that I got the last of my medical testing done and I shouldnt have to have anymore tests for a really long time. 3) I am currently hoping that I can pull myself together and revive my career.
@Nerdygirlsavestheworld It's a relief to hear that. Thanks for sharing with us!
You deserve time to grieve any loss like that. It can take a while to find a new directon, but you will do it. @Nerdygirlsavestheworld
1) How was your week? Having fun, still in the same state or worsen? I prayed on Wednesday and since then I have been depressed and drained. I also have no motivation.
2) What is something positive that happened this week? I got to talk to my boyfriend
3) What is something you currently hope for? Hopefully moving, just not sure what day
@Rebekahwriter13 I feel you there. Take rest if you need it. Having someone to talk to is truly an achievement for me. Thanks for sharing!
I'm trying to rest
Sorry for the depression episode. Any better today?@Rebekahwriter13
I've been struggling with carpal tunnel.
That sounds painful. What kinds of things do you do to try to relieve it?@Rebekahwriter13
OTC pain meds and brace
I hope that they help soon. @Rebekahwriter13
@bestVase7265 my appointment is June 2nd
So about a week. I hope that you find some relief then. @Rebekahwriter13
@bestVase7265 So days are better than others. I am currently having issues with my gout, carpal tunnel and teeth aches.
Physical pain is the worst. Sending peace. @Rebekahwriter13
@kdsyahirah
Feeling depressed as usual . How does one keep going when there is absolutely no hope , no chance of your life getting any better ? You try everyday with all your might , but all you find is failures and disappointments .
Being in thick mud doesn't mean you aren't moving. You absolutely cannot tell when things might feel better. I know that you think I am just saying this, but I am really having a hard time now myself. It feels like I spend most of the day trying various meditation and distraction techniques to only accomplish daily survival and a feeling of minimal relief at day's end. So I get it. But deep down I know that trying is everything and if one thing doesn't work then I will just have to try another. There is a path out there that I haven't uncovered yet. It is true for you too. @calmsoulmeet
@bestVase7265
How I wish what u mentioned turns out to be true . Unfortunately , optimism isn't my strongest suite .
I have completely given all hope in life . Sorry. ☹️.
No need to be sorry. Optimism isn't always my strongest suit either. But we are here to lift each other onwards. Don't give up looking. @calmsoulmeet
@bestVase7265
I will try .
But honestly speaking I have been a realist all my life . If I have to think with rationale and logic then I can certainly conclude that there is no chance of my life situation getting any better . There are too many problems from all directions. It feels that there is no way out from this .
Do I make sense ?? ☹️☹️☹️
Yes, but also remember that what our depressed brains tell us is "rational" actually isn't. Your brain chemicals are doing really weird things that can be changed. We can all rewire our brains in some way. I believe (on my okay days) that I simply haven't discovered the rewiring process yet. We cannot predict the future based upon the past. @calmsoulmeet
@bestVase7265
Oh I see. That's a new perspective you have shared . I actually never thought it that way before .
Apparently , my depressed mind has taken over me . It's like someone has taken control of me . So whatever thoughts my mind produces I believe it to be true .
Yes, and once you realize that your brain is lying you can actually begin to properly reevaluate the likelihood of things never changing. Change is a constant. We just never know what the next change is going to be. @calmsoulmeet
So, I was planning to finish my Short Essay this weekend. I'm stuck after the first sentence. I can't seem to think of a thesis statement. Without it, I can't really continue on. I have all the supporting points, just having a hard time coming up one sentence to sum it up and act as a thesis statement. It looks like I'll have to work on it tomorrow instead. My long-distance friend gave a good guideline on how she interpreted the given documents, which is a big help already. With just that one sentence, it took me a long time to think of what to write. I'm seriously not a very good "essay" type of person. I find that I'm always at a loss for words, or that I can't seem to express a point clearly. There goes my plan for finishing the essay this weekend. I was hoping to break it in half for Saturday and Sunday. Saturday is not almost half-way through, and I've only got one sentence written. This is not going as well as I hoped. Going to go stress about it now!~
Take a deep breath. You don't have to ever write the beginning of your paper first. Start with the evidence that you are using in the middle. Write up those descriptions. Usually somewhere in the middle of writing, a thesis pops into your head. Then you can go back and build around it. You have done great so far and have proven yourself as a writer in this program. But don't waste time staring at a blank page. It will just stress you out. @Jaeteuk
So, there is this very specific format my instructor has outlined. Basically, each point is indicated (Thesis, main points briefly mentioned in the introduction, then further points in the body with evidence and own analysis for each). In his sample, only three points were made in the introduction, I'm wondering if I'll need 6 points, 3 regarding German Empire and 3 for Japanese Empire. But then, the short essay is only one page long.. hmm.. I'll try with working on other parts of the essay first then, hopefully I can write more~
@bestVase7265
That is quite a bit for one page. That gives you about one sentence per point. But you are headed in a good direction.@Jaeteuk
We're allowed to adjust the margins down to 1 inch and have the font at size 10. I've finished the body paragraphs and the Thesis Statement now. I'll work on the conclusion in the next day or so. Have my friend quickly check my grammar after, than hand it it after work on Thursday~
Sounds like you are headed in a good direction. @Jaeteuk
I'm going to have to see how this one will be graded. I've never written in this particular format before. I'll make the improvements for the second Short Essay~
Sounds good. It is nice to have one essay out of the way. @Jaeteuk
@bestVase7265
Makes sense, thanks
How are things for you today?@Purab555
@kdsyahirah
What a beautiful message you've written for us. Thank you 🥰♥️
1) There's been ups and downs to it, but overall it's leaning more towards the better side.
2) Well, uhhh...I had a relationship upgrade with one of my friends. (^///^) I didn't realize that he had been crushing on me for a while, but I've always known even prior to this that he'd make a good boyfriend. And now, he's my boyfriend!
3) I hope for my personal safety from my abusive family that is trying to hunt me down.
Thank you for the check-in and the lovely words; I appreciate you!
It is great that you have found someone to support you. I hope that you are able to worry less about your family soon. @TheAutumnWitch
@bestVase7265
Thank you! <3 It's good to see you on here again. The more, the merrier when it comes to support, at least for me. I'm banking on the latest incidents being nothing more than scare tactics from my family, but we'll just have to see how things turn out in time, and for now, I'm doing my best to stay safe.
It is good seeing your name again too. @TheAutumnWitch
@TheAutumnWitch Aww, thank you! You're so kind to me. That's good to know that you're doing great. I'm happy for you. Congrats on your new relationships! I wish both of you happiness. I hope that your personal safety from your abusive family is secured as well. Thanks for sharing and your kind words.
Bad
Same state
I made more friends
Therapy
Sorry to hear that you are struggling. Did you want to tell us more? @lmeg
I hope everyone is going a bit better today. I left these forums 3 years ago and... I'm back.
Well, this week was complicated. Again. Nothing seemed to run smoothly, nothing felt alright. I felt detached from my family but couldn't feel bothered to contact them since they don't really have much to say, they have their own lives. And I'm stuck at home, unemployed and trying to hold myself together.
Thought I had find a job, did the job interview, all good, I was the perfect candidate. He contacted me telling me he would let me know last weekend how much and how the work shifts would be. Waited the whole weekend and then, the moment I step away from the phone... He called. I noticed too late in the day, wasn't gonna call the man and wake his family? Guess I should have, cuz I apologized today and he answered me that he could work with someone so unavailable. Again, my fault. As always. II haven't told anyone yet because I know that I'll be blamed even more and they will use all my issues to justify what happened. Didn't really find a reason to smile lately.
I'm just hoping that I can manage go get through all this and don't end up doing anything stupid.
See you all tomorrow.
That sounds like a wretched experience that you did not deserve. It would be hard to work for someone who expected you to always be available and call back immediately. But I understand how hard being unemployed can be. It is good to have you back after three years. @notanadultyet
I almost never post and just do all the answers, so I doubt if anyone will respond to this. However, my own struggles are pretty hard and deep right now.
Lately, on top of all the work and COVID stress, my dental anxiety has become unmanageable. I have been going through lots of traumatic root canal stuff. Today it continued just as I thought I might begin to find closure. The dentist decided without really asking me to do a regular filling rather than a crown. He thought I would be too anxious. But this means that I get to be anxioius two more times in the future. I am really frustrated and feeling horrible about myself.
@bestVase7265 Even if I only reply to some of posts for some times, I read each one of them and upvote their post to show that I heard them. Sometimes I busy with my life that I could't reply to them. You've helped me so much that I couldn't thank you enough so don't fear, I hear you.
I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time.I see. Did the appoinment turn out ok? I think it's time for you to relax now. It must be exhausting to go through it all at once. Take a deep breath. In and out. I suggest you to or maybe walk outside for a while. It won't do much but I'm sure it can reduce your stress and anxiety for a bit. I can't even imagine myself to see a dentist. The struggle is real.
You've gone through so much before and I'm sure things will work out better for you. I truly wih it will be. Take a rest. I'm sure you could really use it and you deserve it. You could take self care breaks too. Don't go hard on yourself. You've tried your best. I know this seems random coming out from me but you're my best buddy in here. I'm sincere with my words.
Thanks so much for your kindness. I know that I am running on fumes at this point. Hopefully things will begin to let up soon. The dental stuff has just been hauntingly bad for a month and half now, especially in terms of trying to get through my anxiety via medicaton. I discovered that nitrous oxide (laughing gas) which is typically used in dental procedures to relax you and actually is used to treat depression in some people causes the opposite in me. So the trauma is going to take a while to recover from.@kdsyahirah

Thanks so much. @kdsyahirah
1) How was your week? Having fun, still in the same state or worsen?
It was little bit dynamic this week. a lot of things happened not in the worst way. it was just like something I could tolerate
2) What is something positive that happened this week?
I got a signature from the head of the major after 2 weeks of back and forth looking for this person with 2 hours drive and no email answer for appointment request. finally.
3) What is something you currently hope for?
I'm taking English Test for graduation tomorrow. I hope I don't need to retake it.
Glad to hear that the week was okay. @Wildarkberry
Happy Tuesday! QOTD: "I'm not telling you it will always be easy, but it will always be worth it."
