**ANY & ALL "NEWBIES" ARE WELCOME TO SHARE!!**
**This weekend has been another "trying and stressful" one... Still dealing with an issue that I'm trying to wait patiently to subside.. So Its kind-of derailed me and my habits the past week. I had to cancel a few classes, I only got a minimal workout in, and my eating has not been of the best choices since I haven't really been up to eating much or up to making anything healthy.... Praying for a better weekend and week ahead~ Prayers welcomed! 
**The weather has fittingly been in alignment with the way I've been feeling, rather dreary and rainy pretty much the past two weeks~ ... Since we dont' get much of a "winter" where I'm at (other than cold air and occasional snow every few years) the "sloppy" rain on end tends to be our winter ~ So getting out and about this past week has mainly consisted of a few small errands and a few appointments~ 
.... Supposedly we are to finally get some warmer weather with some sunshine beginning next week. Will see how that goes~
**Its supposed to rain again today,..and nothing going on locally this weekend, so no plans to do much.. so It will probably be a true Rest Day and Movie kind of night~
TAKE CARE ALL... ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND 
I'll just say one word: eating disorders. There's not much else in my life right now
@GhostlyLilian
Sorry to hear that you are still struggling Lilian... I know having an E.D. can be very challenging.. I do hope that you (perhaps along with your therapist) can help to manage this whether alone or together, and get it under control again soon.
But for the time being you are at least still checking in here and thats a good thing that your getting your feelings out and letting us know how you are doing. Thats a good start! Thank you for checking in this week. Always glad to see you and the community is here to support you.
@PoliteOcean
Thanks Ocean. I dont't know what else to say
This past week I got paperwork done and turned in, I've been doing housework, and I've been able to work through some anxiety. I am doing better than I have in the past, though I wish I were doing better. I have been actively trying to quit smoking by cutting back and I have cut back considerably. Soon I will start using the patches. Once I start using them I will have no reason to smoke, that's the theory anyway. I am using the app which won't let me copy and paste the questions, so I may not have answered them all, but that's what is going on with me at the moment
@optimisticDay6856
Hey there! So glad to see you this week and your check in sounds really optimistic! That is great for you!...
To be honest, its really up to you if you want to answer the exact questions I post, or not. This check-in is YOURS and yours alone to just simply stop by, hold yourself accountable, help you to stay on track, or simply to just let us know how you are doing and how your journey is going for you!...
And you sound really great this week!. Sounds like you have really accomplished alot of little things here and there, and congrats to you on all of that! ESPECIALLY working through your anxiety and managing to try to quit smoking! Sounds like you have a great plan in place for yourself. All you can do is try, and keep trying. Good for you! Please continue to check back with us and let us know how things are going for you, or just to vent. I'd like to keep up with how the patches are working for you and how we can support your efforts!... Keep up the great work you are doing!
Thanks so much for checking in this week!
Another busy week but pretty much staying on track. Still trying to stay on track with calories. Could be doing better. I am really looking forward when Spring arrives. Spring always boost my energy levels, which I think is true for most people. Winter has been good since we did not have much snow and I was able to get out and exercise most days. But I definitely have more energy in the Spring, Summer and Fall. Which is why on looking forward to Spring, Hope you feel better and get back to your normal routine. Enjoy your weekend.
@sail46
Hey there Sail! Thanks so very much for the well-wishes! I really appreciate it. Its really a downer getting off track with my regular healthy living routine. I just got to get my mind-set into continuing to try harder, until everything works itself out again.
Congrats to you for continuing to stay on track and not letting the winter season derail your workout/activity efforts!.... I agree with the Spring weather. I'm ready for it myself as I know it can certainly be alot more "motivating" than the winter season. Thats for sure.
Continue to keep up the great job you are doing at staying on track with everything and thank you as always for continuing to check in each week, hold yourself accountable, and for motivating and inspiring others to do the same!
@PoliteOcean Thursday Feb 21st I found out that one of my investments didn't work out. I was very upset about it. I got ripped off. Furthermore, one of my caretakers didn't show up and I had to take a taxi to run errands. It cost me $20. I can't afford that. I'm still having trouble with getting a new round of treatments. It's so annoying. I went to the doctor on Friday and he still doesn't know why my sodium is so low. He's not going to prescribe any new medication until he finds the reason. He wants me to make an appointment with a endocrinologist, but the paper work keeps on getting messed up. I'm going in on Tuesday Feb 26th to get my California ID. My drivers license expired 7 years ago. I can't even open a bank account. I met this woman on an online dating site and I really liked her but she turned out to be a scammer. Women just want men for their money. I finally made my bone broth on Saturday but I used chicken drumstick bones which are not very good because they are so small. My first batch of bone broth I used turkey drumstick bones, and they are gigantic and the bone broth turned out really well. So yeah, that's my life.
@Regmo
Hey there Regmo! So sorry to hear that things have been challenging for you lately... Sorry to hear that you had difficulties with your caregiver and was forced to have to take a taxi. I know those things are not cheap! And thats $20.00 that could have gone for something better, I can understand why you are upset by that.
What type of treatments are you waiting to get at this time? I'm sorry to hear that you are having to wait. I can relate to that feeling of just wanting to get what you need so that you can start to feel better in some way. Hopefully the doctors will figure out whats up with your sodium levels.
Good for you that you will be going to get your I.D. thats really important to have one of those so that you can get things done. Everyone usually needs to see your I.D. for one reason or another. So its good that you are going to do that. Not having one can sometimes slow things down that you want to get done.
Sorry to hear that things didn't go so well with the online dating....And that your feelings were hurt over it... I hope that you are doing better about it. Sometimes its about finding the "Right Site" to go on as well... Not all of them are legit, or have the best of choices from my understanding of them. Just know that not everyone is out to get you, or do you wrong. They say there is someone for everyone, and perhaps you will eventually find that "someone' special sooner than you know!... Don't give up!
Sorry to hear that your last batch of Bone broth wasn't as great as the one before. But its good that you know "what" to do to make it better and what to use!... So I'm sure the next batch will be better!....
And yeah I understand what you mean about the Opioid thing,... not everyone is out to abuse them, and it really is sad for those that really need them and can't get them or have to wait to get them. Or even have to go through a bunch of nonsense to keep them due to all of this! Hopefully there will be a better way to come with that as well.
Thanks for checking in this week and letting us know how things are going for you!
@PoliteOcean The round of treatments I'm trying to get funding for is for rolfing. It's like a complicated version of a deep tissue massage, but the results are permanent. My posture is really messed up.
@PoliteOcean One more thing. I wish Trump and Melania would stop the war on opioids. It's stopping people who genuinely need them from being able to obtain them. I think a lot of people don't realize that opioids don't make the pain disappear, it just reduces it.
So I think I've been sick this last week.. coat on indoors with the furnace on and still cold.. Its hard to know because I dont' know where the first aid supplies or where else they'd keep a thermometer here. I guess I should find that out. Sleeping and sweating a lot.
Still managed to lead a hide-n-find for a guild in game. It was nearly disastrous because I kept getting lost on the way to where I was going to hide, but the guildmaster stepped in and fixed things. I'm supposed to practice setting points on a map and going to them with my compass this week. I will if I ever get on again instead of sleeping.
@politeocean ^see above
@berryfields2409
Hey there! So sorry to hear that you aren't feeling the greatest!?... Have you gotten any better in the couple of days since you posted? I hope that you are starting to feel better since them?!
If you are sleeping alot, that is actually good for you if you aren't feeling well... Sometimes the rest is what your body may actually need to continue to get well!...And hopefully in that time, you managed to find out if there were first aid supplies or a thermometer. Those are handy to keep around and available in case they are needed.
Let us know how everything goes this week with setting the points on a map!
Thanks for checking in this week and letting us know how things are going for you!
@PoliteOcean
**How has everyone been doing this past week? I have felt happy, or at least good for most of the week except Friday afternoon and Saturday morning/evening
**We are one week away from being done with February~ Looking back, how do you feel February has gone for you overall you may have set for yourself? I think February went really quickly but it was a better month and January and it hasn't gone to badly.
**What do you feel your "Strong" areas were this past month? Confidence maybe - I took some risks that went my way and I stood up for my opinions.
**What is one last thing you'd like to do or accomplish before this month ends? I want to try to be myself and gain confidence in myself
**What have been your "highlights" this past week? Talking to my not-boyfriend (it's complicated) and a group meet up
@peacefullistener22
Hey there!
Its good that for the most of the week that you felt good and things went well, (despite Friday and Saturday).. but at least the "majority" was good for you so thats positive!
Also, thats great that you feel February was a better month for you, and that overall it went well!
Confidence is an awesome "Strength" to have in yourself the past month! Good for you! And even better for you that you "stood up" for yourself and your opinions!...... Its great that you want to continue to make a plan for yourself to be yourself and gain more confidence in yourself. Those are very good goals for yourself to continue to work on and accomplish!
The "Group meet-up" sounds like a nice weekend plan. How did that all go for you!? What did that consist of or what did you as a group end up doing?! We do have those around my area, and I have often looked into them, but haven't really found anything just yet to make me go. Maybe one day! lol...
Thanks so much for checking in this week and letting us know how things are going! Continue to check back and let us know how you are doing in the goals and plans that you have mentioned for yourself!
@PoliteOcean
The group meet up went well once I was in a better mood. It was pretty fun. We got lunch ( I didn't eat ) and then hung out by the river. Admittedly there was alcohol but most remained sober. It was a fun day either way (:
@politeocean
My day was really packed.. I'm feeling better but I'm taking VitC/Emergen-C each morning it seems like. My counseling appt didn't happen but I've been in touch with my parents about things my ex gratiously sent their way that I left behind when I fled. The hide-n-find with the guild went really well. It only lasted a half an hour though. but the practice and knowing which wayshrine and using the map marker went really well.
I don't have room for everything he sent, so its a mass sorting project, what will be sent my way and what will go to 2nd hand.
