Weekly Check In Nov 19 - 25

It's Cupsgiving this week at 7cups and I know some of you are celebrating Thanksgiving this week too.
Cornucopias tyipcally have food in them, but is there anything you would like to share in this place that could go into a virtual one? That opens up the possibilities much more!
What things are going well this week?
What things are you struggling with?
So today was ok, as it wasn't as bad as I feared. I totally forgot about an assignment for class, until last night. I was angry at myself, but no, I did not find importance in doing the work, so I just was on 7cups, trying to find relief so I can sleep. Went to sleep more than an hour later, so I just hated myself for not taking that hour to do the work .
I avoid talking to professors as much as possible. I don't know if she gave me a passing grade. Anyway...I finally got around to making a weekly study schedule so we'll see how that goes.
I'm working the most I've ever worked this week. I'm working retail...on Black Friday...yikes. I mean I hate everyday, how will that day be any different. I just have to calm myself down. This one manager gets on all our nerves. It's not time to close the store yet, but she goes bickering and bickering over all the tasks we failed to perfect. Ahem, I'm getting to that! Obviously! So yes, I'm affected by her once again today.
Will see family, but still holding some emotions back when seeing them, as always. Every encounter just makes me sick with panic beforehand. But I'm trying.
Happy thanksgiving!! Today was a low depressed day. I faked it till I made it. I saw my little cousin, 2 of my aunts and uncles.
We just left their house, going for 1.5 hour ride. I love the dark, and love riding the highway so I am genuinely feeling good as my dad plays old school punk rock like "Move along" I totally forgot who sings it but it brings back memories of highschool.
But yeah, it was a struggle as I felt bad when my little cousin had no one to play with. All the adults drinking and stuff, while the only child does cart wheels on the rug, asking for approval to deaf ears. But idk how to play. I'm just ahaha laughing like a maniac, I don't know how to laugh anymore but I need to pretend I'm happy.
@Skyy0 It sounds like you got through Thanksgiving pretty well, even ending on a high note. I'm sure your cousin liked getting some attention from you. Hopefully you can get some R&R and a decent sleep to help you prepare for tomorrow!
@AffyAvo
Thank you for your words! I will definitely try my best to rest today
Hi hope everyone is well! 💜 I'm glad it seems everyone got through the holiday or that you are here!
This week was stressful but calmed down yesterday
Family actually didn't get into that many fights so wow
Alcohol tends to calm them down, thanks alchohol
My 1 sister is very sad bc I think she's going through a breakup but she doesnt open up a lot & idk how to help her
Got to play with my "niece" and "nephew" (they're animals)
Always a lot of tension especially this year with what is gonna happen soon
Also my mom's dad was an alcoholic and my older sisters are generally insensitive to her all the time but especially about that ughh
