What are some coping skills I can use when I am feeling upset? I use various things like labelling thoughts, connecting with my breathing, grounding on things in my environment, and listening to mindfulness videos https://www.7cups.com/forum/MindfulnessSupportCommunity_106/ResourceLibrary_1062/
@soulsings Those are great coping skills! It's great that you practice mindfulness 
@fairyava
How can I put myself first today? I can put myself first today by using lavender essential oil when my anxiety arises.
Who are the people in my life that support me? My husband, mother in law, best friend, twin, father, and mother support me 100% when it comes to my mental illnesses. They are always there for me and I know that when I'm having a bad day, I can talk to one of them about it and they will just listen!
What are some coping skills I can use when I am feeling upset? The coping skills I can use when I'm feeling upset are meditation (I use the Calm app), exercising (walking my trail), and hot nettle tea!
I put myself first by cooking yummy healthy vegan food and not overeating or emotionally eating.
I cope by coming to mindfulness group chat and doing the meditations and participate there! And take notes and save videos for later.
It feels like not enough people support me, or I don't yet have enough support. Lots of people on the sidelines watching and waiting for me to do it myself, but no one stepping up to help in the ways I want or need it, like a partner would. My exercise clients listen to me when I have news and updates weekly about my life. I'm thankful they're interested.
How can I put myself first today? Don't be so judgemental of myself and rest as needed!
Who are the people in my life that support me? husband man, close friends
What are some coping skills I can use when I am feeling upset? Deep breathing, meditation
@fairyava thank you for this check in
How can I put myself first today?
I can try and not feel I have to get all things done at work and school FIRST in order to stop and take a break and focus on me.
Who are the people in my life that support me?
My mom is a great support as she tells it like it is- but also knows when I need comfort. A few great friends too.
What are some coping skills I can use when I am feeling upset?
Breathe first, walk away has been going well for me as long as I communicate with others I need to step away. Sometimes I put music on my blue-tooth and just continue as I am. Venting to a freind also works to.
