1. what is your favourite animal and why
Cats. They're just perfect little creatures. And so cute and fluffy. And I actually love their independence.
2.how are you feeling this week
I was really well this week. Things weren't perfect, but when is life ever perfect.
3.one thing going well or multi things
I did my chores at home and gave some online support to people here on 7 cups.
4. one thing not going well or multi things
I felt guily about my memory problems and I wasn't as good at drawing as the week before.
5. if there was a song to describe the kind of person you are how you feel daily etc what would it be and why - must be a song already released
Steven Universe's 'Escapism'. I'm just such a free-spirit. I get so sad when I have to needlessly struggle with unnecessary things that don't need to be as hard as they should be. I just want to be me, to live my own life, and to be free.
Great questions @CaringBrit !
@Soe22
aww cute my friend has one
glad to hear your feeling really well this week yayy and true life is never perfect its always up n down twists and turns like a rollercoaster
great job for giving some support your valued for doing that is there a particular area you prefer like forums group support 1-1
aww no need to feel guilty your not alone with memory problems though you could maybe write a reminder somewhere to help with that tips to draw etc
not heard that one before
thankyou very much i carefully put these together everytime i do checkins it might look like a picture and some questions but i spend time selecting the right pic at the right time and the questions to use
1. what is your favourite animal and why
Cats, even tho I'm badly allergic. Kinda can see myself in them, sticking by myself but seeking attention when needed. Just lying around home, doing what I do when I feel like doing it, kinda.
2.how are you feeling this week
It's been a really rough week, with a really rough weekend. Partner's out of work for a few days now, tho, so hoping that helps the situation a bit.
3.one thing going well or multi things
Finished a 552 page book in three days. Not much of an accomplishment in general, but still big for me with my memory problems and all.
4. one thing not going well or multi things
Mental state, mainly. Depression, nightmares, memories, all that fun stuff.
5. if there was a song to describe the kind of person you are how you feel daily etc what would it be and why - must be a song already released
"Easier to Run" by Linkin Park. Sums up my daily feelings pretty well, being stuck in time between present and the past. Wish I could let go, but always having that stuff in the back of my mind. So yeah, this has always been one of the songs that seems written about me, kinda.
@OneErased
aww sux your allergic
hoping your situations gets better as can be for you hugs if youd like one
oh wow 552 pages in 3 days well that is an achievement great job what book did you read and do you plan to read another
oh no nightmares are no fun same with the others do you have any coping methods that help
think ive heard that song linkin park are good
@CaringBrit
I read Lazarus by Lars Kepler. Swedish author, seventh book in a crime series. I have already started a new book, halfway through it now. I've read about 3-5 books a month this year. My shrink suggested it, to work my fractured memory at least a bit. I have found I like it a lot, and I do plan on keeping to it. Have at least one small spot of pride in my life.
When it comes to the nightmares and everything else, I do have methods to deal with it. I do see my shrink once a week, have for a good while now. Just, hard time tend to come sometimes. This is just one of many, and I know it'll pass eventually. Just sucks when it's there.
@OneErased reading can be very soothing glad you found something you enjoy I'm currently reading dead until dark from Sookie Stackhouse novels based on the True Blood Series its a page-turner as from chapter 1 it had me hooked those kinds of books keep my interest every page needs to be a cliffhanger moment is that how the books your reading are
and hope the nightmares etc pass asap etc

1.what is your favourite animal and why
If I had to choose, I'd say my favourite animal is the Great Grey Owl. They give off an expression of calm and leadership. They are the wise men of the whole owl species. When I look into them, I feel comforted and warm in heart. That's one of my favourites although I have lots more. XD
2.how are you feeling this week
I'm not really feeling anything this week besides getting to the other side of the tunnel.
3.one thing going well or multi things
I can't say anything specific at the moment. Everything is just...normal I guess.
4. one thing not going well or multi things
Tonight I'm feeling extra moody because I've been having corns on my toes which has been hurting me loads. They feel like blisters but instead of having a fluid-filled sac, they're mounds of hard skin. It's itchy as heck!
5. if there was a song to describe the kind of person you are how you feel daily etc what would it be and why - must be a song already released
I can't think of any songs from the top of my head.
@TaylorTheLemonSlayer
ooo nice choice
aww i understand
ouch could you maybe ring drs have a phone appointment and get something to treat those
aww thats ok
