🌞 This past week went well... and fast. (I felt like it was "blink and you missed it" kind-of week).... But it was good. Water intake was good, (sleep still needs work and improvement), I got to see my Son for a bit, and was able to take care of and get done a few errands that were needed.
🌴 The weather has continued to be a "Scorcher" here....🔥.... And I've been in the pool everyday this past week 🏊 ....I spent alot of time relaxing, and meditating... And got a few walks in with the Pup during the evenings. 🐾
🍍 This is Fathers Day Weekend, so intentions are to travel out and spend the day sight-seeing and visiting some new places. Perhaps a few treats here and there, and lots of good Movies in the evenings.
@PoliteOcean hi ocean <3 glad to hear that this past week went well, even if fast. yay for lots of water intake and spending time with your son. i hope you can get some more restful sleep soon 😊

@PoliteOcean
Hello Polite . Thanks for another check-in . Hope u r well .
1. I am doing okaish this week . Depression comes and goes in phases .
2. Best part about the past week was me gifting myself a new wireless headphones 🎧 .
3. By doing cycling daily and by starting meditation .
4. Not much plans as such .
5. This week was filled with plenty of challenges . When you have been dealing with extreme depression for years , your mind is your biggest enemy . Just the thought my mind produces are so energy draining and depressing . Wish I could switch off from all this . 😞.
@calmsoulmeet
Hey there Calm, ...Thank you, hope you are well too
Despite your Depression going in its phases (as we know that can happen with mental health), its good that you are doing "Ok-ish". And even better that you took the time to treat yourself! That can certainly be a good "pick-me-up" when we need it.
Great job on the cycling and meditation, keep up the great work.
Yes mental health concerns can certainly be draining when we are dealing with them... whether its Depression, Anxiety, Panic disorder, or any other mental health challenge. They can all be very challenging to deal with. Especially if one has been dealing with it and fighting it for a long time. It would be wonderful to have a "switch" that we can just "turn it off" (or at least turn it down) when it comes. But, as long as we keep doing our best, or at least what we can to fight through it some way, some how, and not stay in that place. Small steps, Day-by-day, One day at a time. Is all we can do.
Just know that we are all here to support one another,....and to support you. And hope that you are having a better week so far this week. Thank you for checking in and keeping us up to date on how you are continuing to do Calm. <3
@PoliteOcean
As usual thanks Polite for the insightful reply to my post .
☀️How are you doing this week?
Meh
🌴 What was the BEST part of the past week for you?!
Maybe when I took myself out to the movies spontaneously.
🌺 Name ONE way that you took care of your Physical Health, and Your Mental Health
One way I took care of my physical health is I drank a healthy smoothie when I wasn’t feeling well. One way I took care of my mental health was to cry when I needed to cry.
🏊JUST FOR FUN: .....Its Father's Day Weekend... What are "Your" Weekend plans ahead?!
My dad is happy with his new family so I’m not going to bother him. As for myself I ordered Boston Pizza yesterday which reminds me of him. I’ll eat the leftovers over the weekend.
🌞What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" this week?... How were you able to work through your challenges?!
I was able to work through my challenges by reminding myself to stay calm and centred and to balance what I give and receive.
@PoliteOcean
@Dallady
Hey there...
Despite your week being "meh" for you, its great that you treated yourself and took yourself out to the movies. What movie did you see?!
How cool that you chose to do something healthy and take of yourself by drinking a healthy smoothie and allowing yourself a good cry. Sometimes its much needed.
Sorry to hear about your dad, I know how that can be as I'm not close with mine either....So I choose to celebrate my husband and my step-dad..... But I do hope that the situation with your dad can change for you at some point. And how nice that you treated yourself yet again with a great pizza, and still have something leftover to treat yourself again during the week.
How awesome you were able to work through your challenges and calm yourself by staying centered. Great job, keep up the great work there.
Thank you for checking in this week and letting us know how things have been going for you.
The movie I took myself to was the new Jurassic sequel.
I liked it because it was probably the second best Jurassic movie and spoke about how we need to learn to live with everyone and everything everywhere on this earth in order to survive.
The 3D visuals and seeing the og cast was also good - and the popcorn and peach iced tea didn’t hurt. ...well later it did as I ate a bit too much.
@PoliteOcean
@PoliteOcean Here's how the past week went. Sunday I took a shower for the first time in a long time. I didn't have a panic attack. I think my panic attacks I had were a fluke, and not going to become a chronic problem. Sunday night I sent my agency an email asking for a list of potential caretakers. It might take me a while to find anyone, so I decided not to wait until my new medication kicks in. Tuesday my government issued Smart Phone lost it's network connection, so I've been without a phone all week. I was unable to call any potential caretakers or call my pharmacy for refills of my medication. I've been very worried and stressed about it all week. I've been exchanging emails back and forth from the manufacturer trying to find a resolution. I also started to shop for a new Smart Phone that I would pay for out of my own pocket in case I can't fix my government issued phone. Trying to find a wireless service plan has been an ordeal. I'm worried about having a medical crisis and not being able to call 911. I've finished studying the book of Micah and started a study on the Psalms. I'm listening to worship music and studying art history. I'm reading my book "Lessons in the Wilderness".
@Regmo
Hey Regmo thats great you were finally able to take care of your needs by taking your shower. And that your panic attacks are becoming more in control for you. Thats good you decided to start looking now for potential caregivers instead of waiting. As I stated last week, the process could possibly take awhile, so its better to get that jumpstart. Hopefully you can get your issues resolved with your phone. I know how important it can be to have them. Me personally I have much of my life stored in mine from day to day... and its what keeps me on track. So I know how important it is to get it taken care of the sooner the better. Not sure if a small "burner-phone" in the meantime would or could possibly help you until you find something better? Its still a way for you to have one, and to be able to contact 911 if needed. Good for you for getting finished with your studies. The Psalms are a a great read. Long...but a great chapter. I once had a preacher advise me to read the entire chapter when I was going through things in my life. It did wonders. I'm back to listening to Worship music myself... I had to take a break too as I was getting a little burned out. Nice that you are studying Art history... anything in particular?
Thanks for checking in this week and keeping us up to date on everything. Let us know how things go with the caregiver situation.
@PoliteOcean
☀️How are you doing this week?
It was an okay week overall. Ample time to rest and contemplate.
🌴 What was the BEST part of the past week for you?!
Waking up early and full of joy and enthusiasm 😀
🌺 Name ONE way that you took care of your Physical Health, and Your Mental Health
PH- doing mini workouts
MH- reading positive quotes
🌴What would "YOU" Like to talk about, add or share with us this week?! WE want to hear from YOU!
Keep learning new things 😊
@DonaldDraper
Hey there DD.... thats good that your week went well overall for you with ample rest. Rest is always good. Thats great that you were able to wake up early and to do it with joy and enthusiasm....
I hear earlybirds get the worm!?!.... *Gives DD a worm* 😉
Great job on the mini-workouts and positive quote reading..... What type of workouts do you enjoy?!
Thanks for stopping by to say hello and check in with the community.~
This week has been on the rough side sleep has not been great really struggling to stay focused and complete daily house cleaning or things I need to complete time management unmotivated any suggestions apps to help or tips
@diamondintheROUGH2022
Hey there Diamond...sorry to hear that your sleep quality hasn't been the greatest... I personally know how that can be.. However, have you taken a look at your bedtime ritual? Are you allowing your body enough time to properly prepare to rest?... (For me, I know I'm not doing the best job doing that, which is why my sleep could be better)...... Taking a good look at our habits can help us identify where we can make changes.
Are you laying down too late? ,laying down to early? eating too close to bedtime? watching tv or using electronics before bed?.... have you tried taking a nice warm bath, or drinking a warm drink before bed? or increasing activity throughout your day so that maybe you will become more tired and sleepy by nightfall? Sometimes we aren't aware of how little habits like these can affect our sleep in a negative or positive way.
Also, if you having issues with time-management, then perhaps making a schedule for yourself each day could help get you on better track?!... Keeping a journal or log could help as well.
We are here to support you however we can.... Thank you for checking in and sharing your week with us. Please let us know how you are continuing to do.
Omg, my eyes! How am I supposed to read it?
@tidySailboat7966 we like it colorful here 😊 otherwise, you can copy and paste the questions if you have troubles reading them with the color!
@tidySailboat7966
Not sure... are you on computer or the app?
If you are on the app, you could be having issues....
Im doing okay, starting my week wit the intention of taking it easy and do what I can with my abilities and leave what I can’t control. I continue with exercising for 30 min. and for my mental health I’m doing my best to not think negatively.
@diligentZebra1382
Hey there Zebra, thats good that you're doing ok... and are planning to take it easy for yourself. Great job to you on continuing with 30 minutes of activity! And watching that negative thinking!
Thats awesome... continue to keep up the great work that you are doing. We are here to support your efforts. Thank you for checking in and sharing with us! And let us know how you are continuing to do.
