What do you like to do to relax?
take a nice warm bath i guess
What's something that made you feel happy this week?
i got a big bucket of popcorn, its made me happy but its also caused a lot of dramas which has also now left me depressed.
How are you doing in this moment?
I am currently awful :’) i had a breakdown last night because of all the drama my family has thrown at me and i am depressed as my house no longer feels like home
@emotionalTalker2260 That's awful that something that made you happy got thrown into drama.
I hope your home feels like a safer place soon!
I’m happy they are working on a guide… It is definitely overdue.
@Jiminycricket91 I agree!
I like to listen to music, watch Netflix shows, or color.
I was happy when my aunt's dog curled up in bed next to me because he gives off so much heat and I was cold.
Currently I am awake but I know I need sleep or I will suffer in class tomorrow
@wonderfulRainbow817
Oh you paint such a relaxing scene, curled up with the dog!
I hope your class was ok!
I like to do crafts. For a while I found diamond painting relaxing. Now I find embroidery relaxing.
Taking a ride with my son and stopping to get a peanut butter milkshake.
I'm struggling. I called my psychiatrist and let her know. I'll be starting a new "therapy" next Monday but won't have a personal therapist yet.
@777Bre777
Oh yum to the peanut butter milkshake! I'm glad you had that time with your son.
Hopefully the therapy will get you more settled and it doesn't take too long to get the right therapist.
@AffyAvo
What do you like to do to relax?
Take alone time, stretch, sit in the quiet without electronics or people.
What's something that made you feel happy this week?
A friend spent the night and helped me clean and arrange my room, also got internet installed!
How are you doing in this moment?
I'm... pretty good. Settling in with having internet again after a couple of weeks without it. I'm proud of myself for leaving a bad situation. I'm ashamed, guilty, and sad because of how it lead up to leaving the bad situation, how I acted, and needing to block contact with everyone involved. I feel freer, I feel more independent. This is a good change. I'm coping with grief and paranoia while reveling in pride and self-care and self-respect.
@DichotomousDetia
Sounds like a big change and it can take a while to fully be ok with that. That's so awesome you recognized you needed to get out of where you were!
Hopefully taking some time to stretch and sit in the quiet can soothe the pain.
To relax, I play games on my phone! I’m happy about… well I got Covid, and it wasn’t all that bad so far, so I’m glad I can relax a little about it now. In this moment, I’m nervous, excited, worried, scared, but mostly tired. I’m also happy. Life’s complicated, ya know? 😉
@CharmingBunny9999 Indeed life is complicated! I'm glad you only had a mild illness with covid. I'm guessing you got some extra gaming time?
@AffyAvo
What do you like to do to relax?
to relax, I love to put on a podcast or youtube video and have a sweet chamomile tea. I also like to spend time with my dog who is so grounding :)
What's something that made you feel happy this week?
hearing that I did well on my chemistry test really made my week. I'd worked hard for that and I'm so glad it paid off!
How are you doing in this moment?
I'm not doing very well at all right now, but I'm hoping things will be at least slightly better tomorrow
@fairmindedWater1140
I like to relax with a mug of tea too.
Congrats on learning the chemistry material! It's a great feeling when hard work pays off.
I hope your weekend improved from when you posted and this upcoming week is a good one.
