🌞 This past week went by pretty fast.. It started with coming off of my Anniversary vacation which was amazing. Had a really great time away. Got in lots of walking, steps, activity And Pool-time (and shopping) and a bit of relaxation. There was also an early morning ZUMBA Class at the resort as well. It was really great to get back into the swing of things with that since I've taken time off and away from my own classes this past summer.
🐝 This week coming back home I spent catching up and getting back into the swing of my usual routines. The weather was really great here once we got back and became really hot and sunny here again. So was able to get in some really great pool & swim time again. And was able to get my Furbaby out for some walks.
🌻 This is the longest break I've ever taken from teaching my Zumba & Fitness classes after 11 years of doing so. It was Not my intention to take this long. But realized it was beneficial during this time. But currently I am working on a schedule to work my way back into things. I love the water so much, so I'm contemplating starting a local Swim class this month twice weekly. And then get back to Zumba twice weekly as well. Then do some strength training twice weekly, and use the last day of the week as a rest day where I work on "Stretching" and incorporate some Yoga moves (which I typically never do). But realize that its something beneficial that I should be doing more of.
🌞 This weekend is Labor Day Weekend here.... so its a Long holiday weekend ahead and I'm looking forwards to it. We have no major plans, especially since returning from a Vacation. But most likely will include driving out and about, stopping at a few favorite places, getting a treat of some sort, and adding in a few great movies for the evening.~
@PoliteOcean Hello 😊 How are you doing this weekend? I pray that you have a blessed Labor Day weekend!!! 🇺🇲🥳🎉🎊🎈🎇🎆😍🥰😁
@sweetrosa1987
Awww..thank you Rosa 😊 I hope that you are doing well and have a wonderful weekend ahead! ❤️
I deal with anxiety. I'm Learning to be more positive and think happy thoughts. I don't get out much I'm home all the time with my kids. Today I'm going out to the store for school supplies for my son and school cloths. Really hoping I have a good day and I get in and out okay without any attacks. Positive messages are accepted thanks. 😌
@bestMaple2045
Hello Maple, we are sorry to hear that you are dealing with anxiety. That can really be challenging. But we are all here to help support one another. That is really great that you are working on trying to be more positive and think happy thoughts. That can certainly help and be beneficial towards your mental health.
Sorry to hear that you dont' get out much and that you are tend to be home all the time with your kids. I was wondering if you ever try to do anything with them? Do you try to incorporate any activities that you can all do together? Like take a walk together, or play in the yard, or simply sit outside in the Sunshine with them? Or even go to a playground? Perhaps trying to incorporate some of these things little by little can help you all to get outside more. Being inside "all the time" isn't a positive thing for a persons mental health and wellbeing. We need to get out and get sunshine and fresh air. I know how hard it can be to do even the simplest things when you have anxiety, but taking these steps day by day, and doing little by little can help. When you start with 'Small' steps they can then add up to "Bigger" ones!
And that is really great that you are able to get out with them today for some school supplies and clothes. (Baby steps)!! Hopefully that all went well for you?! And that you were clear of any attacks!
Please stop by again to let us know how you are doing, and how things went for you today and continue to go for you. We are here to support you. And thank you for checking in this week!
@PoliteOcean
Hi, Ocean,
1. How has your week been?.....My week sucked. My last relative told me she wants rid of me and that I ruin her life.
2. hat are you looking forwards to MOST this new month ahead? I am supposed to find out after sep 30th, if i was accepted into grad school or not. What is your Favorite part about September? I don't like september.
3. What Goals would you like to Set, achieve , accomplish, or simply work on for yourself in this month ahead? I'd like to start my new job and learn it easily, fit in well, and be able to handle the crazy early hours.
4. What is your MOST Favorite Way to indulge in "SELF CARE" time?! Right now it is sleeping, as I currently have a very uncomfortable reality. Also, How will you spend the Long LABOR DAY Weekend ahead (if you are in the USA)? I hope to sleep a lot, not have nightmares, and sell my guitar tomorrow for a good and fair amount of money.
5. What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" this week? My last relative told me she wants rid of me. How were you able to work through your challenges?! I asked her what happened because I thought we were having a pleasant relationship.
6.What would "YOU" Like to talk about, add or share with us this week?! I wish I had friends to take my mind off my troubles.
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree..... Sorry to hear for you that your week did not go as desired for you. And that you are having issues with your relative. Sounds like that was quite difficult for you. Hopefully you can have a talk with her and get an understanding as to why she feels this way. And maybe you two can work something out going forwards?
Hopefully finding out that you were accepted into Grad School will bring you much more positivity and put you in a better mindframe for October!... And that things will go work out smoothly with your job. And go as you hope.
And hopefully for you your sleeping routine will get better for you. And things come together..... And that selling your guitar will produce the financial help that you are looking for.
Also, we hope that your struggles work themselves out with your relative, and that perhaps once you enter Grad school you will be able meet others and make new or more friendships for the future.
Thanks for checking in this week and letting us know how things are going for you. We are here to support you.
@PoliteOcean
Thanks, but I don't think so to any of it. I know that is very negative, but I have learned that I might as well be realistic and expect things to go badly, like they always do.
@PoliteOcean Here’s how the past week went. I was consistent with my quiet times. I’ve been using this cool book by a Nigerian author named Tella Olayeri (male). He’s written a series of prayer books and I highly recommend him. I also bought a new prayer book by an author named Dr. Francis Myles. It looks really good. Monday I had an appointment with my psychiatrist. It went well. My condition is stable so there were no changes to my medication. I’ve been feeling very frustrated about my art history aspirations. It’s so uncomfortable trying to study in my bedroom. I don’t have any cushioning when I lean my back up against the wall, and there is no fan so it gets really warm. When I studied data analysis it was after Erik had moved out and before Alan moved in and I had the living room to myself. I studied art history only one day this week. Two of my art history books arrived this week, but I’m going to return one of them because it’s 700 pages long. My clinic finally got back to me about my blood test results after two and a half weeks of no answers. Wednesday I went into my clinic and filed a grievance against my doctor. I got a phone call the same day from the clinic. My clinic wants me to get another blood test on Wednesday. It has to be done in the morning and with 12 hour fasting, and Tunde can’t take me. They said they would arrange a Lyft to pick me up, but I’m not sure I’m ready for that. There’s a lot of dysfunction that happens at this place I just don’t feel like talking about it all the time. Somebody stole two of my gel packs from the freezer and it cost me $17 to replace them. I’ve logged in to the Christian chat room so many times for prayer they’re getting tired of hearing from me. For this upcoming week, Tuesday I start therapy again but I have zero confidence it’s going to help. My therapy sessions are only 30 minutes twice a month. I still carry around a lot of trauma. EMDR never helped me. What I really need is $7200 for one year of psycho-dynamic therapy. There’s a lot of free books on the internet that can help me but I’m in too much pain to make use of them. My contact with the political party finally got In contact with me late on Friday. I was feeling discouraged because I hadn’t heard anything from them. They might want me to help with political marketing. If that is true, that would be really exciting and something that would make me happy. I dislike 3 day weekends because there is no stock market news on Monday.
@Regmo
Hi Regmo, Thats good that you've been continuing to keep up with and stay consistent with your quiet time, prayer books and appointments. And also that things are remaining stable for you. Thats a positive. Its too bad that you aren't able to find more comfort in your room to do what you desire. Is there anywhere else in the house that you could go? Or would it help to open a window? The good thing is for those that find the summer heat to be too warm, the Fall season is just a couple weeks away. Which also mean cooler breezes for those who need or enjoy those. I'm unclear of why it took so long for you to get back blood results with "no answers"? That seems like quite a long time to wait for "no" result? But its good that they are giving you the chance to get another blood test. I understand that Tunde won't be able to take you, is there a way for them all to arrange a day where Tunde is available to help you? I can understand not wanting to take a Lyft. If they are arranging it and the driver is somebody that "they" Know, then I would think it would be in the best interest to go then. But if not, I can certainly understand not wanting to ride with a stranger. At least I wouldn't want to.... As far as the dysfunction that you state is going on where you are, not sure if they is also a way that you could file a complaint/grievance there as well? If the place is gov't ran, or funded in some way, then they should probably know if there are alot of issues going on. Otherwise, doesn't seem like it will have the chance to get any better?....As far as the Christian chat/prayer, why do you feel they are "getting tired of you"? That is what its for. However, there are plenty of places that you can call or talk anonymously for "Prayer". And nobody will know who you are if you feel its starting to become an issue. .... As far as therapy, that is great that you are starting your sessions again. However, I do understand how 30 minutes doesn't seem like that would even open the door to touch the tip of the iceberg on things, especially at only twice a month. Thats barely enough time to get your feelings out let alone work on any issues. I know some sessions can last up to 45 minutes. Have you talked to them about that? Typically they aren't "concrete" on the time, and will allow for a few additional minutes when really needed. But, ....also trying to stay positive about it, rather than having zero confidence that it will work, might be more helpful?.... I know thought that its also too bad that some of the things regarding therapy that can or might actually help or be of benefit for some, aren't covered by insurance. Which I'm gathering based on your $7,200 quote, that this might be the case for you?... Hopefully for you things will come together regarding the political marketing. Sounds like that is something that will be of much benefit for you and your over-all wellbeing. Thanks for checking in this week and letting us know how things have been continuing to go for you.
