🍀 How have you been this week?
I have been okay, a mix of really good days and not so good days. But I’m coping 😊
🍀 How did the First Full week of March go for you? What goals have you set for the month?
Same goal: drink more water XD
🍀 What was the Most Positive Experience for you this week?
Actually, I was babysitting a very skittish dog the other day, and for the first time, that dog came up to me and sat on my lap 🥺🥺🥺 it was such a precious moment
🍀 What is something that Improved your mood this week in a positive way?
The type of music I’ve been listening to 😮 I’m playing more cheerful songs and how much better I feel is crazy.
🍀What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" this past week?... How were you able to work through your challenges?!
Highlights: skittish dog sat on my lap, I spent nearly a whole day singing and dancing, I feel like my emotions are starting to be controlled a bit more.
Struggles: :’) honestly, sometimes I don’t use the best coping strategies, anyways 😀.. I also tend to criticise myself a bit. I’ve had many meltdowns this week 😮 I had one yesterday that went for over 4 hours ;~;
🍀What would "YOU" Like to talk about or share with us this week?! WE want to hear from YOU!
just keep swimming, just keep swimming *continues singing annoying song* /j. Just keep going, no matter how hard it seems, it’ll be worth it in the end
@emotionalTalker2260 heya talker! glad to hear that throughout your week you were able to experience some really good days at least next to not so great days ❤️ drinking more water is an amazing goal! I myself used to struggle with drinking enough water, and now my doctor tells me I could even drink a little less xD
I can imagine that this moment with the dog when you were babysitting would be a precious moment. it always feel so rewarding when pets choose to go to us and sit next to us.
& listening to more happy songs is such a great idea!!! i'm so happy to hear that they are improving your mood. I can relate that sometimes, for instance, listening to sad music when we are sad can really make things actually worse. What's your favourite "cheery" song?
i am however very sorry to hear about your breakdown yesterday, and that you struggle with finding the right healthy coping strategies. finding some coping mechanisms that make us really feel good can be really difficult sometimes, but its certainly not impossible. is there something that helps you whenever you feel really down? maybe watching a comfort movie?
thank you very much for checking in with us and sharing this beautiful advice with us. I can even add something to your quote - keep going because you might are way closer to your goal than you think you are. ❤️
@PoliteOcean
🍀 How have you been this week?
I've had some good and some bad days. There's just so much going wrong that's really bothering me.
🍀 How did the First Full week of March go for you? What goals have you set for the month?
It had its ups and downs. I need to really focus on getting some freelance work and doing schoolwork.
🍀 What was the Most Positive Experience for you this week?
I think we've found an apartment for August - we're supposed to be out of this one in July, so I need to figure this part out, but we've been really struggling to find anywhere. Hopefully, I'll know more this week.
🍀 What is something that Improved your mood this week in a positive way?
Knowing that we should have an apartment has really helped me feel a bit better.
🍀What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" this past week?... How were you able to work through your challenges?!
I'm thankful my son keeps pushing me to keep going.
@777Bre777
Best of luck moving into a new place!
@777Bre777 hi bre!
im sorry to hear that you feel like theres a lot going wrong at the moment, which I can understand must feel exhausting and frustrating. sometimes we just feel like everything is falling apart at once ... during these times, I always tell myself that after the craziest storms there usually comes a rainbow. I really hope things will fall into place for you soon.
good luck with freelance work and school! and that is great to hear that you were able to find a potential apartment for august - I hope all goes well for you, and that you will be able to find a place to stay in between July and August. Happy to hear however that you already found a place in general ❤️
and i'm glad to hear that your son plays such an important role in your life, pushing you to keep going. thank you for sharing - and I hope you have a lovely week 😊
@PoliteOcean
Hello! My week has been okay for the most part, had it’s ups and downs as per usual. For this month, as the weather gets warmer where I live, I hope to go on more walks and play more basketball outside to stay in shape. I also aim to improve my eating habits by eating less junky foods and more fruits and vegetables. My most positive experience this week was starting on a bookI was planning on writing for a while now, and it’s going pretty great. I also met some really great people on this site, so that made me feel awesome. Probably the biggest struggle for me was coping with my neuro condition. It causes my limbs to go numb consistently, and it gets really difficult for me to keep my spirits up and think highly of the different obstacles I have to face. However, I’m working through it, and I have high hopes. 😊
@selflessSpruce1515 hello there!
going on more walks and playing basketball outside sound like such amazing things to look forward to with the weather getting warmer!! I also tend to feel a little more motivated to go outside and move my body when it gets nicer outside. And a healthy diet is a great goal - especially with trying to restrict junk food a little and implementing more greens into your meals. That sounds like a great plan!
and wow - writing a book, thats super cool 😯. Do you want to share what kind of book, what genre? I`d be curious to know, if you feel comfortable!
super happy to hear that you met great people here on 7cups, especially during those difficult times you are mentioning with your neuro condition - I can imagine it must be difficult to deal with and hard to stay positive sometimes - but you are really doing an amazing job at staying active and positive here, which I find very inspiring of you. Shows a lot of great strength ❤️
I hope you have a lovely week ahead of you and thank you for checking in with us.
@AveryLove
Hello hello! Nice to meet you! Thank you so much for replying to my check-in. I really appreciate it! 😊
And my book is a mix of a thriller and fantasy about a boy who was born from a line of necromancers, which are basically evil sorcerers. However, he is different from the rest and actually wants to find the light side. The story is basically about his journey from the very beginning, and I’m excited to explore it through his eyes. ❤️
@selflessSpruce1515 its very nice to meet you as well 😊
and wow, that sounds so incredibly interesting to be honest!! I can sense you have a great talent of creativity and writing.
@nordurnStar hello Star!
i am sorry to hear about the difficulties you've been facing this past week, but i'm glad to hear that you were able to recognise some good moments in between them. I hope that those good moments become more and more frequent and dominate over the bad ones ❤️
@PoliteOcean Here's how the
past week went. Monday I went grocery shopping and also for a walk.
Tuesday I had EMDR and we did a lot of processing trauma but I don't
feel any better. Perhaps it's healing my subconscious mind even if I
can't feel a difference. Wednesday I went to acupuncture and also for a
walk. Friday I went for a walk. Saturday I went for a walk through my
creepy neighborhood. I hosted the sharing circle, and I listen to
worship music for 15 minutes before going to bed. I got my blood test
results back but I haven't reviewed them with my doctor yet. I'm going
to skip acupuncture until April. I don't know if I'm going to continue
with it because it's possible I've taken it as far as I can. I might go to the chiropractor on Friday.
@Regmo hi Regmo! im glad to hear that again ( like the last time I checked in with you a while ago) you were able to carve out some time to take walks & do acupuncture! however, Im sorry to hear that the EMDR did not really make you, at least on a conscious level, make you feel a difference. But as you said - theres the possibility for sure that it might have worked on your subconscious level, which would probably be even deeper than the conscious one? I always feel like its way harder to get through our subconscious than to our conscious mind, you might agree on that? Either way, the sharing circle you hosted and listening to music sounds like fun and like you were able to spend a little time doing things that make you feel good.
I hope that your blood test results turn out in your favour, as well as that, in case you go to the chiropractor, everything goes smoothly. glad to see you checking in with us.

🍀 How have you been this week?
I've been really struggling this week because my ex is on spring break without me. I feel replaced and not worthwhile.
🍀 How did the First Full week of March go for you? What goals have you set for the month?
My first week of March went a lot better. This month I'm still continuing to work on college and maintain my GPA, which is a full-time job in and of itself but I'd also like to do more self-care activities. Particularly, I need to get my sleeping under control as I frequently nap to avoid stressful situations and end up oversleeping and being groggy all day.
🍀 What was the Most Positive Experience for you this week?
Being able to call my online friend for hours and not have my ex at home to interrupt or ask about our conversation
🍀 What is something that Improved your mood this week in a positive way?
I came out to my therapist, which was scary but she's been supportive. It was harder to talk about this than trauma for some reason. I'm still overcoming some self-hatred for it.
@JarofSeeds627
Thats great that you were able to come out to your therapist. And in a healthy way and environment. Hopefully they will continue to work with you on getting past the self-hatred. You are allowed to be "you". And we are here to support you in every way.
And hopefully your sleep will also continue to improve for you. Thank you for checking in this week and letting us know how you've been doing.
