🌞 This past week was a good one.... Started out with a great weekend of sunshine & shopping last weekend. And then planning a Mid-summer trip to the Beach for a few days~
🌊 We went to the beach this past week.... We went back to a beach we haven't been to since 10 years ago while raising our kids. It was really amazing to be back. And to see all the changes in the area. The weather was so amazing, sunny and warm. I could sit & stare out at the Ocean ALL DAY!... We did ALOT of walking while there, and I got in some Amazing steps & activity!....Got to stay at Resort right in the heart of everything, and got to see some Amazing Fireworks~.... While there we even talked about investing in a Beach house (Which has always been a bucket-list dream in the back of my mind), as my hubby is in Real Estate. So will see~
🏊Today is another beautiful, sunny, hot day ahead... So intentions are to lounge Pool-side for a while and also get in some laps.
🍍 And last but not least, this past week was my 7 YEAR CUPS-A-VERSARY here at 7cups!...I can't believe I've been here this long. This has been such a great community and has really helped me so much over the years. And I've met so many great people here along the way. I really appreciate EVERYONE who stopped by and took time to wish me well and wish me a Happy Cups-a-versary. It really meant alot to me!
@PoliteOcean Congratulations on your Cups anniversary!!!!! I'm so proud of you for being so helpful, so understanding, and tons of fun!!!! I wish you for many more years of blessings. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 HUGGIES!!!!!

@PoliteOcean
Hello Polite . Firstly , congrats for completing soo many years on 7cups . You are such a valuable member on 7cups & I personally would want to appreciate the lovely work u r doing on this forum !! .
This week has gone by at such a breakneck speed ! . It just feels like yesterday that I was writing about last week's doings....And here we are....Please find my answers as under ::
1. I have been feeling absolutely rubbish this week . It's been an awful week and I have no words to describe how low I am feeling . Especially , today has been a rough day as any . My mental health and physical health aren't at their very best .:(
2. I wish I could move out of my home and live elsewhere . Infact that is one of my goals . It's a long shot though . Considering my mental health and all my parents are worried of allowing me to live elsewhere away from home . Plus , I am apprehensive too .
3. Sorry , but nothing good happened to me this week . Absolutely nothing.
4. Wish I had that many 7cups friends to tag here :(.....
5. The struggles for me this week were my ADHD , stomach issues and mood in general .
That's it from my side . Thanks for reading thus far . Huge thanks once again to lovely Polite Ocean for another check in . I was as usual awaiting for the check-in post !!! ♥
@calmsoulmeet
Hi There Calm, thank you so very much for your kind words! I really appreciate them and you! It truly means alot to me!
I totally agree. The weeks go by so fast from week to week. I can hardly believe that this month is already over and that we will soon be entering another one! That is another reason why when I started this subcom years ago, that I decided on doing "Weekly" check-ins only. Because it just comes up so fast!
I'm so sorry to hear that you are still having such a challenging time. And that things have been rough for you. I know our mental health can come in waves. Ups and downs. We just have to take things day by day. Its truly all we can do for ourselves. Take each day as we come. I don't like getting too far ahead of myself, and have tried to learn to just enjoy (and fight through when needed) each day that I am in. Tomorrow will be there to take care of itself when it comes.
I love that you are thinking on some short and longterm goals for yourself. You know that you want to eventually move out. And that is great. However, I see that you (and your family) may feel that now is not the time. And with mental health issues that is understandable. So little by little, take the time and think on things, take notes (physically and mentally) on the things that you can do to get yourself to a place that you can eventually do that. What will it take? What would you need to do? Where would be the best area(s) to go?....Things like that. And little by little work towards those things. No matter how long it takes to get there or make that happen. Don't be frustrated with that part. Just keep your mind fixed on the fact that it CAN and WILL happen when you are ready!
I know (and remember) some of my darker places,.... It can be difficult to find the good moments in our day or weeks etc..... However, there is always (some small thing) that we might find comfort or gratefulness in... (I can remember just sitting with my mom, and watching an old TV show together that I grew up watching)...And feeling better in those moments because I was with my mom, and I was doing something if even for a small moment allowed me to focus on something other than the way I felt. Perhaps you had a similar experience this week? Think on it!.... Name "one" small thing that made you feel good or put a smile on your face if even for a moment~ 😉
As far as "7 cups friendships" ... (OR ANY friendships in life).... just remember its about the "quality" and NOT the quantity!.. That is something that I've had to tell and remind myself over the years. And you have a friend in me here at cups :) We are here to support you!
I do hope that all the things you find yourself struggling with start to dissipate for you some.. and that you will look back on those struggling moments soon enough as a distant memory.
hahaha... Awww... that is so awesome and sweet of you that you are waiting for the post! Well let me be honest in saying, I get excited each week to post them! Its always exciting to see who will post, and what everyone has going on in their world. I truly appreciate you Calm for checking in and just simply sharing. I know its not always easy. But again we are here for you. And I enjoy sharing in your week with you. Thank you for checking in as always and please take care of yourself! <3
@PoliteOcean
Thanks Polite 😊☺️ . Hope u have a lovely week ahead . Looking forward to the next check-in.
@PoliteOcean
🌞This week I feel absolutely amazing. it was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster with someone close to me but we got through it.
🌴Before this month ends I would like to just dive more into self care and take care of myself.
🏊 The best thing that happened is that I got back into working working out. Ive never felt so good about myself and also my body.
🍍A struggle for me this week was finding common ground with someone close to me. We kept butting heads and I had to remind myself so be calm and not escalate the situations. It was very difficult as emotions were involved but through all of that I was still able to remain level headed.
🌴Lat but not least would just like to remind even listener that they are doing a great job helping others. Our time on this platform is much needed as everyone deserves to receive the help that they really need.
@heavenlyHug9328
Hey there Heavenly.. (I love the name)...
That is so awesome for you that you felt amazing this week, and that you were able able to get through the "rollercoaster" with the person you are close to.
I think thats great that you are making a goal to include more 'Selfcare" time! Great job. I hope that you are able to find time to make that happen.
How amazing that you were able to get back into working out! Congrats!... What type of workout were you able to do for yourself?! What things do you enjoy doing?! Continue to keep up the great work on that!
Thats good that you were able to keep a calm head with a person close to you. And that you were able to maintain your cool and find some common ground. And continue to keep a level head with things. Hopefully whatever the situation was about has passed for you both, and that you won't find problems with it again! And if you do, just think back on this moment when you were able to maintain a level head and thoughts and fight through any escalations! Great job!
Thank you for your "words of wisdom" for our listeners here! We appreciate you sharing them! And we appreciate you checking in here this week to let us know how you are doing. Please keep us updated on how things are continuing to go for you, and with your workouts!
Work is always overwhelming at times with too much troubleshooting problems.
Glad I took part of this week to have a mini vacation at a small beach. I did enjoy the sun and recharged.
@MoonLightShadow423
Hi there Moon.. Sorry to hear that you have been having some overwhelming work issues. I do hope that you are able to find "MORE" time to relax and unwind a bit! And its awesome that you were able to get the chance to do that and take a mini-vacay to the Beach. I went there this week as well! Sitting in the sun and listening to those ocean waves helps in taking away all those weekly stressors for sure! Its great you were able to enjoy and recharge!
Thanks for checking in this week and sharing with us. Please keep us updated on how you are doing.
@PoliteOcean
Here’s how the past week went. My nightsweats have pretty much disappeared, and it’s probably because of the OTC testosterone supplement I’ve been taking. I still have insomnia, but not as much as I used to. Monday I had an appointment with my psychiatrist. It went well. There were no changes to my medication. She didn’t even bring up Bright Heart Health. Tuesday was the first day of my new caretaker, “Tunde”. I went to the chiropractor and then for a walk by the beach. It was the first time in 10 weeks that I had been out of the house. He’s 72 years old and originally from Nigeria. He lived and worked in the U.K. as a mechanical engineer but now he’s a U.S. citizen. I was consistent with my devotional time. I’m still reading the book “Receiving Healing from the Courts of Heaven” The Courts of Heaven is a 10 book series by Robert Henderson. I got two calls from two of the churches in my local area. One church said they couldn’t do a home visitation because of COVID. I got a call from the other church but I missed their call. Sunday I tried livestreaming the worship service but my laptop couldn’t handle the buffering, so that was disappointing. I finished my book “Lessons in the Wilderness”. I don’t have any money to buy new books until August 3rd, but I studied my online art history course 3 times this past week, so I felt encouraged. I either study in my bedroom in the afternoon or at one of the local libraries. The only reason I can study in my bedroom is because the weather has been mild. If the weather gets hot, it’s going to be too uncomfortable. My art history book is a disappointment because the print is too small. I have no way of returning it, and the 30 day return period has expired. I’ve been logging in to the Christian chat room for prayer multiple times per day.
@Regmo
Hey there Regmo...Thats good for you that the nightsweats have stopped for you and that you found the OTC supplement helped you. I know that typically those can go either way. So its good it helped. Maybe the insomnia will follow as well. How did things go for you with your new care provider? Do you feel its a good match for you? Thats good that you kept up with your appointments. Also good that you keeping up with your devotional time, readings & studies. Very important for your overall wellbeing. Hopefully you will get a call back from the 2nd church, or perhaps you could call them back again and actually get someone to talk to this time? Just let them know you got their message. Thats too bad about the streaming service for church. That happens sometimes. But lots of churches are having streaming services, perhaps you can find another one to watch? There are alot who post on Facebook so it might not be as bad. And its good that you are getting out to the beach and the library for your studies and reading if needed. Its good to get out when you can. Sounds like things are going better for you this week. Thanks for checking in and letting us know how things are continuing to go for you. Please continue to keep us updated.
