@whimsyLeaf7957
Thank you for creating the thread Leaf 😊 I actually wanted to connect to you because our struggles sounded similar and I like talking to you.
Is there a topic you would like to talk about, or just some random things? 😊
@StarlightEma You're welcome, I'm happy to be able to talk with you here too. I'm not sure what we could talk about specifically, did you have something in mind?
Thank you for your reply about coping with the colder months, by the way.
How are you doing today?
@WhimsyLeaf7957
Maybe we can just talk randomly then ☺️ Is there something good that happened today? Or something to look forward to?
For me, I slept better today, so I'm grateful for that.
No problem, it is a topic that interests me as well. 😁
I'm doing better today than yesterday, what about you?
@StarlightEma Okay!
I made a cake today :) and it was a bit of a hard day for me, but that’s okay. I hope I’ll feel better tomorrow.
I’m glad you’re feeling better today and that you slept well!
Are you celebrating Halloween?
@whimsyLeaf7957
Ohhh what cake did you make? Do you enjoy baking? 😊
I also hope you will feel better tomorrow, sending you strength.
Actually we don't, it's not a part of our culture historically, but it is popular. I might watch some Halloween comedy tonight though.
What about you? Do you celebrate Halloween?
@StarlightEma I made a simple yogurt cake with a bit of lemon juice. I don’t particularly enjoy baking, it stresses me out, but I’m trying to be more active and do more things to improve my mental health!
Thank you so much for your kind words.
I’m not really celebrating Halloween either. Do you know any Halloween comedies? Are they like The Addams Family?
@whimsyLeaf7957
Ohh but yoghurt cake with lemon juice sounds very delicious 😊 I'm glad you are trying to feel better! Are you glad you made it?
I'm not a big movie enjoyer so I sadly don't know any 😅 I fell asleep early yesterday so I didn't get to watch anything. Do you have some you enjoy?
How did you spend yesterday?
@StarlightEma Thank you! Yes, I’m glad I did it. In the end I didn’t do anything or watch anything for Halloween either lol, and I only know The Addams Family, which I like. Yesterday I didn’t do much because I had a lot of anxiety, apart from a few chores and a bit of drawing, I guess that’s already better than nothing. And you?
@whimsyLeaf7957
That's understandable, I mean I'm not that much into Halloween either. I haven't watched Addams Family in years lol
Yeah I think you did great! You managed to do something even anxious and that counts ☺️
I spent yesterday mostly resting, my anxiety was so-so. I managed to take a walk both days and do some chores, so that counts. Do you have any plans for today?
@StarlightEma Hi! Thank you for your encouraging words. It’s great that you managed to get things done yesterday! I’m doing better today, went to therapy and I actually managed to get a good amount done on my to-do list, and I cooked something healthy for dinner. How about you?
I wish you a good week and I hope we’ll run into each other in the chatrooms!
@whimsyLeaf7957 Hello Leafy ☺️ I'm glad you made progress on your to-do list and I also hope therapy helped 😊 Healthy dinner sounds nice! What did you cook if you don't mind sharing?
I went to work today and had a okayish day, my anxiety was manageable.
I also wish you a nice week and hopefully we will bump into each other 😁
@StarlightEma Hello!
I simply made baked courgettes stuffed with feta cheese, red onion and fresh parsley. Do you like cooking, and if so, what do you like to make for dinner?
@whimsyLeaf7957
Ohhh that sounds delicious! I love feta cheese 😁 I guess you could say I like cooking but I only like to make simple stuff 😅 I used to make couscous with vegetables, tofu and eggs.
What's your favourite food?
@StarlightEma I also only like to cook simple things, I get bored quickly lol. Couscous is delicious! Are you a vegetarian? I don't know what my favourite food is, maybe chips, how about you?
@whimsyLeaf7957
That is understandable. No I'm not a vegetarian, but there was a period in my life when I didn't eat much meat.
Favourite food would be hard, maybe sushi for me? I love Asian cuisine
@StarlightEma Yes, that's a difficult question lol. I love sushi too, but no longer eat fish. Sometimes I find avocado sushi :)
How are you today?
@whimsyLeaf7957 Ohh are you a vegatarian or vegan?
I am better today, I had a good night of sleep. What about you? Are you feeling better?
@StarlightEma Hi, yes, I am!
I'm glad you're feeling better today. A good night's sleep makes all the difference to your day. I was feeling a bit better at the start of the day, then not at all lol. I hope tomorrow will be better
Any plans for the weekend?
@whimsyLeaf7957
I hope you had been feeling better these days. My plans are mostly just focusing on feeling better, do some reading, maybe draw or write.
What about you?
@StarlightEma Thank you! Those are good plans. I hope you had a good weekend and that you're feeling better! It's a shame we rarely bump into each other in the chat rooms, maybe this week :) I also read and drew this weekend, which was nice, but I'm still struggling with anxiety
@whimsyLeaf7957
Well currently I'm really struggling with my thoughts, my weekend was so-so.
Yeah I haven't been online much.
It's nice you still managed to do something nice for yourself.
And I understand, I'm also still fighting it.
@StarlightEma Sorry you're struggling and that your weekend wasn't too great. It's good that you're spending less time on screens and taking care of yourself. Sending you support!
@whimsyLeaf7957 Thanks for the support, it means a lot. How have you been this week? Any plans for the weekend?
@StarlightEma You're welcome! My week was okay, I don't have any plans for the weekend, how about you?
@whimsyLeaf7957 I spent my weekend mostly resting, we had a state holiday so nothing really was happening. It's starting to get really cold over here, we got degrees below zero this week. How have you been holding up?
@StarlightEma Sorry for the late reply. It’s cold here too now, I hate it. I’ve been on and off honestly, trying to move forward, but it’s hard. Do you have any plans for the weekend?
@whimsyLeaf7957 Yeah, I mostly hate how quickly it gets dark. I share the same sentiment as you, I've also been feeling on and off but trying and yeah it is very hard.
I'm gonna try to do some housework and I started to make snowflakes from beads so maybe that.
What about you?
@whimsyLeaf7957 Hey Leafy haven't seen you around in the rooms, how are you doing?
@StarlightEma Hi Ema, I've been ok. I've been quite busy with health appointments and family visits, which is why I haven't been around the rooms as much. Thank you for checking on me. How are you doing?
@whimsyLeaf7957 I'm glad that you have been okay. Hope it can stay that way.
I have been okayish as well, some days are better some are worse.
Hey Leafy how have you been during the holidays?
@StarlightEma Hey, I've been ok thank you, how about you?
I also survived them, holidays were a bit stressful. I haven't seen you around, what have you been up to?
@StarlightEma hello, I'm sorry the holidays were stressful for you. Yes, I'm not here as often these days, but I'm okay. Nothing new to report. I hope to run into you soon in a chat room!
Hi Leafy, I'm glad you have been doing okay ☺️ I also hope to see you in a chat room.
