Weekly Check In July 16 - 22
A lake can be a good metaphor for our days - some calm, peaceful, easygoing, others stormy, some days choppy.
How do you think of your days this week?
@AffyAvo a mixture for me affy and do you mean july 16th-22 ? i covered up to the 15th hehe
@CaringBrit Changed! That's what happens when I get it in before midnight haha
@AffyAvo lol
@AffyAvo my week so far has been ok, not good not bad just ok and I am happy with that
@NancySV1 aww aslong as your good with it :) i hope that becomes im awesome asap though nancy
@NancySV1 You've had some stressful weeks, so sounds like an improvement at least!
@AffyAvo
It's been ok
I'm trying to be nicer to myself mentally and physically. I'm trying to get out of the old feelings I had towards my physical and mental differences of shame, embarrassment, fear. I feel like it's 1 thing to to accept yourself and another to be open about it and I've never been a very "open" person in terms of people who don't know me. I'm incredibly quiet and small and good at acting 'normal' half of it is just my personality and half to survive.
But in doing that I feel like I'm lying? Idk if that's fair or not.
Idk I just know I shouldn't be ashamed of myself.
@wittySpruce8187 It sounds like you're implementing some good changes. Hopefully that will help you sort out what being true to yourself is with other people.
I don't think we always need to be open to everyone in order to not be lying, I think it's fairly typical to act differently in different settings, express ourselves differently and to protect ourselves. I hope that makes some sense!
@AffyAvo
It does. Thanks for the heartfelt response!
@AffyAvo
my week so far =
Yep. That covers it pretty nicely.
@WitchyMomma Oh no! We're here if you need some support. Hopefully the rainbow after that storm will be peeking through soon.
@AffyAvo my week has been busy with work I had a little fun this week
@wishfulSummer32 I'm glad you fit in at least some fun!
Things have been difficult mentally but
I'm on the way to stop being mean to myself about my 1 physical disability and directing the proper feelings towards the proper people
Like I'm a gem. I'm not broken or "not whole" or incapable of certain things
I am a capable very whole loving person and people would know that if instead of hurting me they earned my trust
It's complicated I'm tired sorry
@wittySpruce8187 No need to be sorry. Sounds like you're advocating for youself. I know that can be hard to do, I hope you get some good results from it!
@AffyAvo
Thanks ❤
