Fatigued
What is one thing going well for you?
My garden is loving the heat wave we've been having.
What is one thing not going so well for you?
My body is not enjyoing the heat wave.
What is your favourite family tradition past or present?
So much tied to Christmas which feels weird to discuss now. Hmm for the summer there was a lot of traditions we had as kids for going places every summer, but haven't kept those all up as adults and wouldn't be occuring this year even if I was a kid. When it was nice out and the bugs weren't too bad we often ate out on the deck, that's something we still do, including this year!
@AffyAvo

thats awesome affy hope its growing well what have you got in your garden
aww yeah heat isnt so fun on the human body
awww a great tradition
How are you feeling this week?
My feelings have been mixed-- mostly depression and anxiety has dominated my week, but today I'm feeling much better. Very happy and full of hope. I'm new to this site and think that it's responsible for my improved mood right now.
What is one thing going well for you?
I think my artwork is recently. I've taken such a long break but it seems that my skill is still in there. I don't have a lot of energy to draw lately, but my previous statements are true none the less.
What is one thing not going so well for you?
My energy levels have been pretty low. I don't think it's going so well on that front of improvement. I'll try vitamins for now. It's possible it's from my recent depressed moods, so I'm hopeful to make progress when my situation improves.
What is your favourite family tradition past or present?
We used to have a lot of polish food on Easter with family. As kids, we would also be given Kinder eggs brought from Germany (banned from the United States, but I'm sure no one knew). Those days have long since passed after my great aunt died in early highschool. Pierogi and golabki. I'm thinking of making some traditional dishes this week.
@FleetingBardSong sorry to hear usually anxiety and depression have dominated your week but glad the day you posted this felt much better welcome to 7cups then :)
yay thats awesome what artwork do you do
aww im sorry to hear energy levels have been low i understand and hope they improve as best as can be
love the tradition too :)
@CaringBrit
I feel like I'm doing better today! My energy is a slight bit better. I think it will improve as long as I push myself to keep hydrated and fix my sleep schedule. It would help if the hot weather would break, though.
I like to do all kinds of artwork-- but mostly I do digital work! I love figure drawing and making character designs or cartoons. I hope to be more productive though as I haven't been producing too much.
Thank you! I did end up making golabki. I didn't have the energy, but pushed through fatigue and it turned out fantastic. :^)
Thanks for the response and interest! I hope you're having a good start to the week (and the days long afterwards).
Extremely challenging day dealing with my chronic spinal pain and my corporate employers HR department BITCH. I had RFA done to my right side L1-L5 on 7/20 and the left side 7/27. I am in so much discomfort right now I can't sit for any period without being in a great deal of pain. My pain makes me intermittently nauseous...yeah it is real! I had to call and file another ADA request and std for a 6 week continuous leave. Rather than be understanding and supportive I get a message from the head of HR basically threatening me that if I don't respond to her by the end of the business day to schedule a "Interactive session to access my request and if I fail to respond by the end of the business day my request may simply be denied for non compliance. Great feeling the support of my employer esp when I just came off a std continuous leave for mental health. I had my stepmother that has Parkinson's disease I am living with trying to help let a stranger in the house without a mask on as a prospective new tenant in her basement. She does not have the mental faculties to be a landlord! I refuse to take the responsibility. I am so angry with her and don't know how to forgive her for the constant stupid shit she does! She is making my life very tough today!
