**AND ANY & ALL "NEWBIES" THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US
🌞 This past week went pretty fast~.. I can't believe we are already
half-way through the month...As I really wish Summer would slow down already~.... I kept on track with most things, and Sleep
seemed to go better....I managed to meet my Weekly Sleep average goal
that I've set for myself. I realize I need to work on and do better with
Hydration.
🌴 The weather has continued to be quite HOT
& Sultry here!... We are well into the 90's everyday. I do love
Summertime so much, and its definitely a blessing to my overall Mental
Well-being.... I've been continuing to keep up with Indoor Aqua workouts
during the week, as well as Zumba. And on weekends do some Pool workouts
at home. I've been waiting until the late afternoon/early evening hours
to get outdoors for Walk time with the pup. And I've finally
incorporated the Aqua Kickboxing class into my Workout schedule. Its
been so much fun.
@PoliteOcean Here’s how the past week went. I tried to keep up with reading my theology book and prayer life, but my environment makes it difficult. What happened to me was a tragedy, I wasn’t trying to become disabled. Monday I had an appointment with my psychiatrist. Taking medication doesn’t stop toxic rich people from abusing me. Wednesday I lost my favorite pen. I’m pretty disappointed about it. I have this very cool notebook I’ve been taking notes in for my poetical interpretation studies. Wednesday my new caretaker Ashawn started working for me. He made a mistake the first day but I decided to over look it. I went to the library on Wednesday. Thursday I read my art history book for the first time in 10 weeks. Friday I had to eat my lunch standing up because the dining room table was so messy there wasn’t any place I could put my plate. Friday I also read my art history book and tried to go shopping at the local grocery store but it didn’t work out well. The people in front of me were taking their sweet time about it and my PTSD started to bother me, so I had to leave the store with my groceries on the checkout counter. Lazy people bother me. Friday I ordered groceries online from Amazon Fresh and they arrived Saturday morning. I checked my credit card multiple times to make sure it wasn’t being charged, and as far as I can tell, they didn’t. The wound on my chest isn’t getting any better. Now that I have a caretaker maybe I will make an appointment to see my dermatologist. I didn’t have any night sweats this past week, so I feel good about that. This past week I watched a lot of documentaries about the financial crisis of 2008. I remember it well. I remember watching it unfold in real time. Leslie and Sifa are such bad people. I’m going to have to spend extra months in therapy recovering from the damage they’ve done.
@Regmo
Hi, Reg,
I just read a quote that made me think it was perfect for you.
"Sometimes just carrying on is a superhuman achievement." --Albert Camus
@purpleTree4652 Thanks PurpleTree, that was very thoughtful of you to share that quote.
@Regmo
Hey there Regmo, hopefully for you, your environment will eventually change in some way that will allow you the time and peace that you wish for...But its good for you that you finally were able to read your art history book. I'm not sure if you've ever really mentioned what exactly happened to you? (Not that I would ask you to talk about it if its not something that you wish to do)... However, I'm not sure I've ever been privy to that information. Knowing other's situations surely does help though in understanding that person more and what they may be going through. I'm sure that most people who are labeled disabled don't desire to be. Its true that taking a medication will not likely get rid of "toxic people in our lives, or toxic thoughts and situations". Losing a favorite pen can be rather disappointing... I have had many in my time as a nurse, and also of course on a personal level when I enjoy journaling. I like using Notebooks as well... I look for ones that have "different/Cool" designs on them to journal in. I find that it can be motivating and fun. Thats good that your new caretaker is onboard, but too bad that he messed up on his first day. Hopefully he will continue to do better as you begin working with one another more. I know some people like "instant gratification" from things (or others)... But we do have to be able to look past some mistakes, and realize nothing is perfect. Although it can be difficult to do with some personality types. Hopefully your new caretaker can get you to the dermatologist to get your wound looked after. It would be good for you to know whats going on there, as well getting a proper treatment. Please keep us updated on how that and how things are continuing to work out with your new caregiver. Thanks for checking in this week and sharing with us.
@PoliteOcean
Hi, Ocean,
🌞 Hey everyone~ How has your week been? It was long, and that is unusual for me. Usually my days are short.
🌴What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?...... How were you able to work through your challenges?! I have a neighbor who continued to blare their stereo so loudly that my bedroom walls were vibrating. After about 40 minutes of that I blew up and pounded on the walls. I also called the office but it was late and they don't have an answering service. So I sent an email and they responded. But, the courtesy patrol wasn't on site. They suggested I call the police but I have called the police on this place several times before and they didn't do anything.
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree~ How did that make you feel in terms of your week feeling "longer"? Was that a good thing for you or not?
It sounds like you have had a big "mix" of emotions.... and that can certainly be challenging. (I personally had some of that too a few days back)...It can be tough. Especially when we are trying to sort through them all!... But its ok, to not be "ok" all the time. Thats human. I think its awesome that you are still keeping your head held high in terms of job searching. And the fact that you ARE "Trying" to take care of yourself! That in itself is really the most important thing in the moment. Everything else, (even if not as fast as we might desire) WILL come together! Prayers and positive vibes continued your way.
Omg!.. How cute what you are doing for you cat! So cool! (And creative)!! I think this is really great as well , as its something else for you to put your time into, place your focus on, and even a little "self-care" too in taking care of your Kitty~ <3 Keep up the great work!
Ugh... that is so discouraging to hear that you didn't receive the help that you wanted in regards to the "noisy neighbor"... (I had one of those as well a time or two)... it can be so upsetting. Unfortunately (for me) I had to wait until mine finally decided to move away! (Only after his house got broken into of course after too many late night parties and crowds)...... I do hope that you are able to get this resolved in some sort of civilized fashion. Nobody wants to have to deal with all that drama! Continued positive vibes on that as well.
Thank you for checking in this week, and keeping us up to date on things. Please continue to let us know how things are going for you!
@PoliteOcean
Thank you for being such an angel, Ocean!
@purpleTree4652
Awww... thank you so much Tree for being so Sweet & Kind <3
Virtual HUGS!
How has your week been? How are you doing so far this month?... How are you doing with your goals? .... How are you taking care of yourself?
A: Week has been alright. Physical Therapy has provided guidance and exercises to help my stiff foot. Been in technical training to help understand things for my team I work with. Taking things easy as much as I can and reduce my stress levels.
What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?...... How were you able to work through your challenges?!
A: Mostly work struggles to get people to come into work to assist us. Need a couple hours of some people time.
@MoonLightShadow423
Hey there Moon~
Thats good for you that your week has been alright, and that your therapy is going well for you. Its good that with everything going on for you personally & professionally, that you are taking it easy, and focusing on yourself (and stress levels).... thats important to focus on self-care! Keep up the great work! And please continue to keep us updated on how things are going for you.
Thanks for checking in and sharing with us!
🌞 Hey everyone~ How has your week been?
It has been very busy, and there are a few stressful family circumstances for us, but there have also been some good conversations and some good progress towards goals.
@nordurnStar
Hey there Star~ Thats good that despite things being busy for you (and family circumstances) that you have been able to maintain good conversations and make some good progress in your goals! Great job!
Its also great that you are keeping up with activity/workouts and that you are mostly eating well! Thats awesome. (I take it that by 'talking to someone', you might mean a counselor/therapist)? If so, that is difficult that your insurance is not covering it. With so many mental health issues in this day and age, it seems like this tends to be one thing that "is" covered by most insurances. However, I'm not sure if you are in the USA or elsewhere? Do you think you could get on a waiting list? Or see if there is perhaps a provider that can base a session on what you make? (Like income based)? Just some thoughts I thought I would throw out there. I hope that if this is something that you need, that it will come together for you going forwards! Until then, We are here for you at 7cups!
It can surely be challenging getting things together to move into a new place. (Exciting too at the same time of course). Its can be so refreshing to be in a new place and focus on new goals. But yeah, the "moving part and getting things situated and organized" can be a pain. Hopefully it will continue to come together for you in a timely manner.
Please continue to keep us updated on how things are going and continuing to come along! I know you will get there! As I can tell you are a highly motivated individual!! You've got this! Thank you for checking in this week and sharing with us!
@PoliteOcean
I finally had a long overdue medical appointment on Friday.
Regarding your vacation question, I will take the beach villa.
@UberRuminator
Hey there Uber~ Thats so great that you got your needed and overdue appointment in. I know those pesky appointments aren't generally something we look forwards too no matter what its for. But good for you that you got it in. Keep up the great work. And thanks for continuing to check in with us and sharing! Please let us know how you things are continuing to go for you.
