I'm losing today because....... I'm winning today because.......
A place to share daily facts and reminders, of why things went well, or not so well for some reason.
Maybe writing them down,
and seeing our thoughts in words,
Can promote
Solutions, Perseverance or Acceptance
Sometimes we lose and sometimes we win.
Maybe writing things down can help us feel better or help us focus and see the balance, so we don't get soooo discouraged.
I'm winning today because I started this thread.
I'm winning today because I feel like I've been losing for the past couple of days and I did not think I could pull myself up out of it. But now is different.
I'm winning today because I've talked myself into doing something beneficial.
I'll clean the bedroom.

I am winning today because I practiced self compassion and learned about mindfulness.
I had the day off. Got some much needed sleep!!! I joined 2 very insightful discussions on cups that I was open to and present for. 🌻🌻
@peachThinker662
That sounds really really good. i believe planting good seeds, consistently, doesn't gaurantee a beautiful garden.... BUT, Good Things Will Grow. and we need those good things. So keep planting those seeds and let patience give time for them to grow. You are doing wonderful.

@peachThinker662
Very cool about everything, Especially the flowers. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing a Winning Day. It brought a smile.
I'm losing today, and every day lately, because How the *** do I make my 4 year old respect his dad. He does stuff and understands he should apologize yet he will die on the mountain of no apologizing. He loses all kinds of privileges and treats daily because of his utter disrespect to his dad (for no reason, his dad loves him and does everything he can do to make this kid happy and yet he never ever is. I'm at a loss. He is out of control. Beyond. He hits, screams, throws things, breaks things. I'm so exhausted. How did I make a bully in a house with two parents so against bullying (we've both experienced it as kids). I am having a damn near emotional breakdown and I can't even afford to get a little help professionally. It's scary.
@TryingandFailingMama
Ohhhh, I'm so sorry for the situation your in. 14 year olds are powerful forces. Stay consistent with your personal guidelines. kids that age are going crazy through a hundred new and conflicting ideas resulting in crazy actions....
i know that may not help much but what they remember when they are 17 - 19 is planted now as they test every fragile thread in your brain.
I really am sorry..... it is so very hard. 😢. Stay strong and believe this will pass. Be there when it does.
4 years old. 14, I'd understand to a point. Being a teen is tough. But this kid is 4. I feel like the worst mom because no matter what I try, this kid doesn't WANT to make an effort to try and improve. I bought the considerate mama calm down corner kit, I've gotten parenting books and apps. Gentle doesn't help all the time and yelling never helps. That's a cycle from my childhood that I don't want. I'm just lost and I appreciate being able to vent
@TryingandFailingMama
I'm so sorry about the age misunderstanding. That little young one is being tough on you! It does not make it any easier, reagrdless of age I guess.
It sounds like you are an awesome Mama. you are trying to do everything You are the Mama bear and you WILL set things right!😮💨
Hi, I appreciate this topic. I'm winning today it is the weekend and I maybe hopefully might could be able to rest today. It has been a rough week and month, but I was able to make progress at work and plan for the next week (get organized a little). I'm winning because next week is less full than the last. I'm losing today because high school is starting for my youngest next week. I have very mixed feelings about this, really hoping this year is better than last year. It can't be worse.
@reservedOwl321
Well now, you have a good mixed bag for the battle over winning over losing. 😁. but mostly i hope you're winning this weekend with some rest, preperation and getting you're batteries recharged.
I guess the school situation with children can be very scary and/or challenging these days. Sending you best wishes and extra good energy!
Good luck with an easier work week coming up.
@IsayUncle ty for your response. Mixed bag describes it well. We have help for her fortunately. I need to get help and support for me yet.
I reached out to a listener yesterday and after a few tries I was matched and connected with a listener who happened to be responsive as well as a really good match for me. Thankful for 7 cups today!

@reservedOwl321
That's wonderful, every little bit helps A LOT. That includes all of your efforts too. The big ones are easy to see but it's the many many little things you do, to steer your direction. Those matters much more than we give ourselves credit for. With that credit, comes hope, so be be sure to give yourself credIt for all your little efforts, not just the successful ones. 🤗.
I'm happy you found a listener you feel comfortable with. That is really awesome!
I'm losing today because I feel like I need to hurry up and be productive
I'm winning today because I am honoring my burnout and chilling tf out
I'm winning today because I have tried two games I really wanted to feature on my channel
I'm winning today because I'm having a date night tonight with me (Alfredo and a movie YAY!~)
It can be really hard for me to look at the positive in a day when the negative can be so much louder in my head.
@HappySpecter
I'm glad u found some winners today, because you are 100% right. The good stuff takes a little extra energy (or a lot sometimes), to get to he forefront of the brain beyond the automatic negative stuff. Good job, I hope you made it to the movie and enjoyed it.
I actually stayed home and watched two movies I've never seen before: Attachment and Bottoms. Bottoms is def a new have 💖🤩🥰
@IsayUncle I'm losing today 😔. Because I did a full mental health assessment online and my result doesn't look good. Because I'm in a country where nobody gives a f**k about your mental health and therapy is not available to a common person like me.
RESULT ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Patient Summary for Urgent Psychiatric Evaluation
Presenting concerns:
Patient presents with rapid mood swings (highs followed immediately by deep lows, occurring multiple times daily), persistent attention/focus difficulties consistent with ADHD, episodes of dissociation (“blackouts,” feeling detached from body), auditory hallucinations (multiple voices arguing or commenting), and recurrent self-harm following periods of intense self-loathing.
History:
Symptoms intensified after recent significant relationship breakup.
Dissociation and hallucinations occur more during periods of stress.
Mood instability and dissociation have been present for an extended period.
Substance use disorder present; patient reports ongoing addictive use.
Highs and lows occur in close succession; lows characterized by fatigue, hopelessness, and self-harm behavior.
Risk factors:
Active self-harm history.
Current auditory hallucinations.
Rapid mood cycling.
Ongoing substance use.
Dissociation with impaired awareness during episodes.
Preliminary clinical impression:
Likely diagnosis includes Bipolar spectrum disorder vs. schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type) with comorbid ADHD, trauma-related dissociation, and active substance use disorder. Hallucinations and self-harm behaviors place patient in high acute risk category.
Recommendation:
Immediate psychiatric evaluation in a dual-diagnosis setting for stabilization of mood, psychotic symptoms, and substance use. Safety precautions warranted due to self-harm risk and impaired judgment during dissociative/psychotic episodes.
@tgodyunusa
I'm super sorry to hear all of that. Sadly his stuff is getting to be more and more of a problem with never enough medical personal or industry to help when we need it.
It appears the computer diagnosis threw the whole book at you. And in such a cold calculated format. These are things that should be told to us in a caring and compasionate way.
Also the computer progam didn't talk about the nuances of overlapping conditions which just unnessarily tripled the results without presenting the degree or levity of everything......
So, caring thoughts being sent your way and some of these things are there but don't have to be as powerful as they sound. What are you doing, or going to do to make your day easier? ... or more tolerable?
Losing because I called out of work
Hope I find a winner
@peachThinker662
Winner options:
1. Guilt Free Rest time for a recharged tomorrow. Indulge in comfy, lot's of naps. recharge. it's OK!
2. An act of accomplishment, you couldn't do if you were working.
It's important to regroup so you're already a winner. 😊
