@AffyAvo Hey :) How are you?
I connect stretch a number of ways - for one I am stiff. I've been having alot of physical pain lately and now I've come down with something that's given me a fever which makes everything hurt worse. At least it isn't covid - not to my knowledge anyway because I can still smell coffee lol. I also connect stretch to - patience and understanding - because there are things that have it stretched to the limits I have
Things haven't been too bad lately - there is something I need to deal with but I'll get to it - Currently taking a pause with it
Anxiety has died down alot which has helped alot
I'm struggling with finding my voice - again. But it's ok - I will take my power back
Thank you for the checkin :) Take care
@mytwistedsoul Thanks for dropping in! I hope you can find your voice again, with the decreased anxiety does it make those steps a bit easier?
@AffyAvo Thank you for your reply, unfortunately no. The anxiety never stays down for very long. But I try to enjoy the moments that it is managable.
@mytwistedsoul
Heyy soul :) hope you are well
sorry to hear your in so much pain .pain is one of the worst things ever and for a fever to make that worse hoping you recover asap and the pain poofs fast fevers suck too I had one in October due to infection and was due for house repairs but they wouldn't come in even though it was just a fever due to the infection
I also believe you'll get your voice back you can do it :) and awesome to hear anxiety calmed down yayyy
@CaringBrit Hey, hello Brit. How are you? I think a lot of people associate fevers with this virus. It seems to be one of the first questions they ask if you have an appointment for anything. The pain comes and goes, some days better, some days worse. I suppose the only thing we can do is take things one day at a time, try not to dwell too much on the past and not focus too much on the future. What ever comes will come, whether we want it to or not.
Thank you for your reply. Take care.
@AffyAvo It seems my week is off to a slow start. Things are going ok though I do have a bunch of dr appointments coming up that I am not looking forward to; one is about a new issue.
@WeedyGarden I find a lot of appointments can be so draining! I hope you're able to get good help with the new issue. It's hard when they pile on.
@WeedyGarden I hope you feel better soon.
@WeedyGarden im not sure if you have had the upcoming dr appointment about new issue yet but if haven't hope it goes well or will go well for you
I'm actually feeling really badly stretched thin right now. Moving really disrupted my studies and I've fallen behind, plus I've been navigating a lot of family stress etc. I'm thinking I'm going to have to take a self-care break soon
@NaomiR Ooh moving is stressful! Definitely take a self care break if it will help, no shame in doing so!
@NaomiR moving can also be so stressful oh no to hear its affecting studies and the family stress also cant be much help either if you ever need a self care break highly encourage it I hope your stress free asap and I believe you'll catch up
How do you connect to the word stretch right now?
- I'm trying to work / stretch hard for spring break.
How are things going this week?
- Things has been going alright this week. Friday is the hardest week for me this week. I'm having exam and I don't really understand that subject.
What's going well?
- I sent application for getting in school after sunmer break. This week has been going really fast!
What are you struggling with?
- I'm struggling with school and loneliness. Some days it hits harder.
@Emiliako Awesome job on getting that application in!
I hope your exam went ok.
I know online isn't always a great substitution for face to face but hopefully 7cups can help reduce your sense of loneliness.
@Emiliako
great to hear things have been going alright for you how did your exam go Friday ?
fingers crossed you get in :)
aww loneliness isn't easy to handle have you got a support network around you ?
My exam went really well! And sadly I don't have a support network around me for loneliness
@Emiliako yayyy awesome that it went well and you was initially worried my reply to that would have been all you can do is your best yes exams can be very stressful but they don't need to be :)
aww that cant be easy having no support nearby what do you find helps you with loneliness?
I find that singing helps little bit with loneliness but that's a thing that I can't do everyday
@Emiliako glad it helps and true
got any other hobbies possibly? maybe try something new learn a language etc I found a few tips when it comes to loneliness too in trying to be productive keep busy etc what do you think?
I don't have other hobbies. I'm always using this one other app in my free time but it's place that doesn't help me much
@Emiliako aww none at all movies ? art? writing/journalling ? learning a language can be fun
Also listening to music is fun for me. I do it all the time but it also helps for little time for loneliness. I also like going outside but later I found myself being jealous of people having fun with their friends
@Emiliako aww jealous of others howcome? and going out and music is awesome
I just feel sad people having fun each others and then there is me all alone
@Emiliako aww that i understand feeling lonely sucks hugs if you want one
@AffyAvo
