🌞 This past week went well & was standard for the most part... I kept on track with all things and my goals..... Sleep went well for the most part, but still needs work. Hydration has been amazing with all the hot weather we are having here. But I met my weekly goals & requirements that I set for myself so I'm happy with that.
🌴 I kept on track with all workouts/activities & fitness classes this week... The week has been INCREDIBLY Hot & humid here the past week. Was able to get outdoors "minimally" early on for walks with the pup...It was even a little too warm to get in the pool as the water was so warm!....
🌊 Today I got up early to get in a Zumba class and get in some activity & meet my step goals early on... Then we will get out and about for a nice drive, and a little shopping. Tonight we will treat ourselves, and get in a good Movie night.. (Probably something from the 80's)?!.... Sunday I will attempt to get up early for a workout, then try to get in some Pool-time... Then would like to work on some things around the house, and get ready for the Holiday week ahead to celebrate the 4th of July!
@PoliteOcean Hello hey. Am doing okay. Seems as though I've stretched my finances beyond my capabilities of handling this month so need to do some reorienting and re-evaluating. Swallowing pride and asking for something can be hard. Lots of critical thoughts, shame and fears and doubts come up. Remembering the positive, stepping back and externalizing helps.
@communicativePond1728
Hey Pond~ It’s good that overall you are doing Okay~
Sorry to hear about your financial struggle... That can certainly be a challenge… Good for you for trying to “reorient & re-evaluate” your situation. Even if it means having to swallow your pride a bit & ask for help. Sometimes we just have to do what needs to be done in those circumstances. And that’s okay! So good for you for taking a step back, remembering the positives, & doing what needs to be done for “you”!
Continue to Keep up the great work and you will get to where you need to be for yourself. We are here for support.
Thanks for checking in & sharing your week with us & please continue to keep us updated.
@PoliteOcean asking for help can be so...blehhhhhh, lol if that's the technical term for it
@PoliteOcean Tunde only worked two days this past week because his employer requires him to take time off. He will go back to working three days a week for this upcoming week. There are so many things wrong with living with Leslie I'm tired of talking about it all the time. I continue to have a problem with not having clean glasses in the kitchen in the morning or not having adequate supplies so I can fix my lunch. It seems like every day there is something that causes me emotional distress. I'm still trying to find a place to live but not having much progress. I came up with the brilliant idea of hiring an additional driver in addition to Tunde. The new driver will only work two days a week so I don't know if I can find someone. I've been very consistent with my prayer time since Alan has left. I'm thinking of just praying for my devotional life and using my library time to get back into reading art history. Sifa still hasn't fixed the remote control on the TV but I can watch freevee TV on Amazon Prime on my Obama phone. I've been watching tennis tournaments and I really like it a lot. The news channels just repeat the same news every day. Leslie continues to feed me terrible food.
@Regmo
Hey Regmo~ That’s good that Tunde will become more available for you in the week ahead... I’m sure it has been quite a struggle for you living at Leslie’s with so many negative situations… I can understand why it may be a challenge to find positives when you feel you have to put up with so much (as well as understandably getting tired of it all)! I can surely understand you wanting your own place (and space), or at least a better one. I’m a pretty private person myself & can understand just needing to have your own space away from everyone & not having to deal with others when you want “peace” & calm. And to simply relax…. Hopefully your goals to find something better will continue to work themselves out in time. And that things regarding finding a new driver work out as well. I think it’s really great that you have been able to become more consistent with your prayer time. That’s wonderful for you. And how great that you have also come up with a plan to possibly divide your time where & where needed! Good for you and keep up the great work Regmo…. That’s awesome that you can get Freevee on your phone. I have that app on mine as well but haven’t checked it out just yet. I think it’s really nice for you that despite a lot of negatives at Leslie’s that you were able to find & have some positives in the week. Thank you for sharing with us and continuing to keep us updated. Let us know how things are continuing to go.
@PoliteOcean
I know I have missed a few lol and I am sorry XD! Better late than never <3
🌞 Hey Everyone, Welcome to the weekend~ How are you doing this week?.... And how is your weekend going so far? This week was okayish, and the weekend is going great so far honestly
🌴 This is our "LAST" Check-in for the Month of JUNE~.... This month has truly flown by~... We are now officially "half-way" through the year~...... WHAT Was the BEST thing that happened for you this week? The best thing that happened to me this week was being able to get WIc and help my husband with groceries after my job fired all of me and my coworkers back in May from a company dissolvement
🌊 What is ONE Positive OR Healthy thing that you feel you've accomplished for yourself this month?... I have to say the healthiest thing I have done is stop letting myself get worked up over other people's projections and temperaments. I no longer allow my empathy to be used as a trampoline for anyone, and that includes friends, family and even my own husband.
🏊 JUST FOR FUN:... Think back to when you were a child, WHAT did you want to be or do when you grew up?! I wanted to be a Videogame designer, Archaeologist or Streamer for Videogames
🍍What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?! Highlights: My daughter is speaking so much more, she is pottying in the big girl potty and she is making more friends and being more open to being with other kids. She can finally be retested for her Autism and Adhd to see what we are working with and get proper tools on how to assist her better <3. My husband and I picked our wedding team members, and we are officially doing a backyard wedding. I'm so excited <3
Struggles: My husband has been struggling with his mental health, and I feel that he is scared to open up with what is on his mind. I know that I can not force him to do anything and only suggest things, but I just want to see him smiling..
🌞 What is something that "YOU" want to talk about, add or share with us this week?! .... WE want to hear from YOU~ Well I have been streaming my videogames, and my streaming has gotten a lot better, I have been taking more moments for self-care and self-love, while my husband and daughter are out of the house. I have been maintaining our house more and keeping it clean. I have also taken some time away from job applications to preserve my mental health. Of course, I send a few out but I have been doing it slowly and just being optimistic that one will accept me
@InsightfulPhoenix
Hey there~? It’s so nice to see you back with us this week! I was wondering where you’ve been! Lol
That’s good that your week was well &
that your weekend was even better.~
How great that you were able to get WIC! I had that ages ago when my son was little and remember it being quite helpful back then. I’m sure you feel the same!
It’s also a great (& healthy) thing that you are doing for yourself by simply setting boundaries and putting your own feelings & wellness first. We have to be good ourselves in order to be good & available for anyone else. And that definitely doesn’t include being anyone’s “doormat”! Keep up the great work!
…Wow… sounds like the Sky was the limit for you in your childhood dreams!! Those are some great choices for a child to dream about!
I can see that you have some struggles that you are still dealing with. And it’s hard to also see our loved ones struggle as well. Or to even know how to completely be there for them sometimes when they are struggling too…. But it sounds like you are doing your best with your partner and leaving the door open for him to open up to you & communicate when he’s ready…. Despite your struggles, it sounds like you’ve had some really great highlights with your daughter! And sounds like she is continuing to grow, learn, and becoming a “big girl”! And that’s great that you are also continuing to advocate for her & her needs. And hopefully you will get to the bottom of everything with her…. And how awesome for you that everything is continuing to come along with your wedding plans! It’s understandable that you are feeling excited… When exactly is the BIG DAY!?
Great job to you on continuing to take care of yourself, getting in more self care AND self love! ❤️ ….and for simply taking time for yourself when & where needed while still job searching... Time for ourselves to “preserve” our mental health and wellbeing is so very important! Keep up the great work you are doing! And continued best wishes on your job search and wedding planning.
Thank you for stopping by to check in and update us this week on how you’re doing. Please continue to let us know how things are going.
@PoliteOcean
Hi, Ocean,
This is our "LAST" Check-in for the Month of JUNE~.... This month has truly flown by~... We are now officially "half-way" through the year~...... WHAT Was the BEST thing that happened for you this week? Hi, Ocean, glad to hear your week went well. The best thing to happen was I finished my weekly assignment yesterday. I was troubled about it. I thought I would have problems, but once I got started I finished it easily.
🌊 What is ONE Positive OR Healthy thing that you feel you've accomplished for yourself this month?... I've managed to keep working out. I skipped one week because I was so overrun with things to do. But I am back to it.
🏊 JUST FOR FUN:... Think back to when you were a child, WHAT did you want to be or do when you grew up?! I wanted to be a geologist.
🍍What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?! This week I was in tears a lot again. My PTSD has flared up. When I saw people grieving online, or animals in distress, I broke down in painful tears. It's more than crying. It is a pain that rips into my soul.
And I found myself wanting for friends who love me. I can be alone for long periods, but I needed to talk to someone, a friend. I don't have such friends.
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree~
Thank you again so much for the kind words ❤️.
Thats great for you that you were able to get your weekly assignment completed… I’m sure that was such a relief for you to get through it!
I’m so proud of you for being able to continue to keep up your workouts despite all the thing on your plate! Great job to you on putting in efforts to continue to take care of yourself in healthy ways! Keep up the great work.
…Wow.. a geologist. You really knew how to shoot for the stars even then!
We’re so sorry to hear for you that you had such a challenging week. PTSD is certainly difficult….. (I’m not sure if all your diagnoses, but I was just wondering if you have BPD). BPD can cause one to feel so much more “deeply” about things & situations. It’s a feeling that just overwhelms and (yes as you stated, “rips into your soul”) that it can hurt so badly. Are you still receiving the therapy?
I know what you mean by having a good true friendship. Friendships can be so difficult & challenging as an adult. And complicated even….. I feel so anyway… especially depending on one’s personality traits etc… There are those social butterflies out there that can be & make friends with everyone, &/or still have good friendships from childhood…. And then there’s the complete opposite…. I consider those truly blessed if you have just “one” good friendship in your life. As they can be hard to come by today. And sometimes fully trusting others can make things even more difficult (especially when mental health issues are involved as well)… I personally have prayed on the friendship matter myself so I get it…
But just remember Tree that we are always here to support you at Cups. You truly are never alone. ❤️🙏🏼
I hope you are enjoying your week and thank you so much for checking in to share with us! Please continue to keep us updated on how you are doing.
@PoliteOcean
Thanks for your response, Ocean. No, they considered the possibility that I had BPD, but they ruled it out. I only stopped seeing a therapist for a short time. I'm supposed to start again at the beginning of August.
Have a safe 4th. --tree
@PoliteOcean
🌞How are you doing this week?.... And how is your weekend going so far?
I am doing quite well this week! spent it with my partner and on saturday he had a birthday party held at his place (though i spent most of it in our bedroom playing video games cus it was awkward for me being with a bunch of people i don't know that communicate in a language i do not speak) and yesterday we went out to take some pictures hihihi
🌴 WHAT Was the BEST thing that happened for you this week?
the best thing that happened to me this week was leaving my country to come live with my partner :3
🏊 JUST FOR FUN:... Think back to when you were a child, WHAT did you want to be or do when you grew up?!

@KateDoskocilova
