A lovely welcome to you!

The weekends are here, and this is a great opportunity for you to unwind and close your eyes to all the chaos happening around you.

Depending on how your week went, you may be feeling extremely stressed out or be reminiscing good memories from this week.

Regardless, the weekends are for rest. Everybody has different schedules, and some of us may have the weekends occupied as well sadly. But I think that something different should be done during the weekends, something that involves peace and tranquillity.

There is a thread on self-care, click here to check it out.

Check-in questions

☁️ Is there something you always do during the weekends?

☁️ Do you look forward to the weekends, why?

☁️ Do you have any plans for next week?

🌷Bonus question: Christmas is next week, how does this make you feel?


That is all for today, take care and see you next time

1. I always play video games, spend time with friends, work out. I usually go walk forest trails at some point.

2. Of course I do, I finally get to hear myself think ^_^ You know, if my roommate's kids let me. Or my friend that wants to play co-op games all day long. Not that those are bad, it's just a lot.

3. Uhhh, vague plans. Not really. I'll figure it out.

4. Christmas should be nice this year. I'll probably get to chill for a lot of it. Just hoping I don't have to wake up at the crack of dawn.

@Torean

Aww, your weekends seem so fun! Forest trails seem so fun. Haha yeah, I hope the kids don't bother you :)

I want a chill Christmas as well, I need a good holiday nap.

Have a good weekend and see you again during the week!

1. Is there something you always do during the weekends?

I usually try to set some time aside to clean, but lately that hasn't been my top priority. I've been keeping a weekly appointment with my Mom, so we call and chat every Saturday. I purposely don't say anything about my depression because I'm there to focus on her and her COPD. I shower her in positivity remind her that I love her, then get back to my day once the call is over.

2. Do you look forward to the weekends, why?

I only look forward to the weekends because I have fewer responsibilities that force me to go outside.

3. Do you have any plans for next week?

I have to get my Covid booster next week. I'll have to do a little prep word to make sure that I don't have many chores or stresses because I may or may not have bad symptoms again. I'm hoping that I don't get knocked down by a fever like last time.

4. Bonus question: Christmas is next week, how does this make you feel?

It doesn't really make me feel anything. I probably won't see my older sister or my mother, but I try and keep in contact with them through texts, email, and phone calls. Its fine.

@bestVase7265

It was a mixed bag. She was so very tired.

She often attempts to wave away my concerns over her pulse oximeter readings. She really didn't like it when I warned her that her reading in the low 70% range is still something to worry over, that she should check more often to keep an eye out for anything below 60% because of cyanosis. I warned her about visible signs of it like nail beds and mucus membranes becoming discolored blue.

She just doesn't want to face the reality of maybe needing supplemental oxygen sooner rather than later...so I suggested that she speak to her doctor about which range she should worry about based on her numbers.

@integrityblues

Things like this could be quite difficult. Your mum probably knows these things already but is finding it hard to come to terms with it. And you talking about it, may make her feel overwhelmed because she's still struggling.

I think suggesting she talks to the doctor is a good step, most times we just need to be gentle and subtle about it. That way they don't feel forced to make a decision.

Then again you understand your mum best and know the right path to take with this.

Your mum is lucky to have you <3

Thanks. I know she's scared and upset, and I try to be kind to her as I explain this stuff, but she's not really willing to listen to me all the time. So that's why I mention the doctor, but she also has a bad habit of randomly deciding that the doctor is stupid and isn't helping her.

I'm hoping that she doesn't make herself worse.

Hey,

I'm sure your mum looks forward to those calls, it's lovely to care about someone else even when you're not doing so great yourself.

Yeah, that would be a good idea. It's great that you're taking your booster, hopefully, no bad symptoms this time.

Take care!

Thanks. I think my mom liked the call, she was just very tired and I kept an earlier promise to time myself so the call didn't run too long.

Good observation. Quite nice of you to keep a time limit, sometimes when I speak to my family and the call gets too long I lose focus because of anxiety.

I really like this weekend ritual of yours though <3

1. Is there something you always do during the weekends? I always try to get as much rest as possible. I have health problems as well as mental problems.

2. Do you look forward to the weekends, why?

No, because the store where I work is open 7 days a week and my schedule changes regularly. So, I can work any days of the week including the weekend.

3. Do you have any plans for next week?

I am going to continue to try to rest as much as possible. And I am trying to keep my commitments outside of work as light as possible to help me mentally relax.

4. Bonus question: Christmas is next week, how does this make you feel?

I am sort of looking forward to a quiet day at home celebrating with my cat. But I am depressed so it is hard to be excited about anything.

@bestVase7265, I sleep a lot and stay in bed a lot. Both of my jobs are very physical, and my body gets very sore, tired, in pain. Plus I have physical problems and illnesses as well as mental illness. I've found that literally resting my body helps a lot.

Rest is good, and making sure you don't get overwhelmed to balance your health is quite responsible of you.

I understand how depression can cause you not to enjoy things. Living with depression isn't easy at all.

Christmas with your cat sounds great though. I won't lie, snuggling up with a cat is exactly what I need right now.

Thanks for checking in, hope your work during the weekends wasn't too hectic!
