How are you feeling today? - I am feeling okay, More annoyed and upset.

How is the weather at your place? - Uh It's cold and it was just snowing

How is your weekend going?- It was going okay. Kinda annoyed with my bf but it is what it is.

Hey Para!! And the week has BEGUN

How are you feeling today? Hmmm, a tad bit sleepish but other than that: Great!

How is the weather at your place? Rainy and cold (maybe why I'm sleepis, lol)

How is your weekend going? So far, really good! I plan on having some warm 'comfort food' for dinner (maybe some veggie stew and grilled cheese sandwiches), probably build a fire, curl up with the kittens and watch some tv for a while this evening. Tomorrow? Anything goes

Any, by the way: I appreciate you making these posts! It gives me the opportunity to stop and think for a minute about how my day REALLY IS. They can turn a 'ho humm' day into a 'hey, I'm actually doing pretty good' day, lol. So, thanks <3

How are you feeling today?.....A little tired as I didn't get proper rest. But otherwise doing well.

How is the weather at your place?.....Its still cold... the day seemed like it was actually milder and warmer at first, but it only lasted a bit, then got cold again.

How is your weekend going?.....Its just started, but as I always say here each week, .. the weekends are always welcomed.

@competentParadise6344

1. How are you feeling today?

Overwhelmed

2. How is the weather at your place?

Rainy and cool.It’s lovely.

3. How is your weekend going?

The same as every day here…it’s not good.

I feel lonely. It's cold. And my weekend is going horribly.

@competentParadise6344

Idk I haven't been outside lol

How is your weekend going?

Ok

Hi competentParadise6344 (and to everyone reading this),

I "just" need a hug. Well actually about 47 hugs would be good. I really don't want to answer the questions you've posed, but they might not be so hard to answer right now ... and I could certainly use a hug after that too. (Platy needs lots more hugs!) (The rules of covid here are detestable to this Platypus.) (I think it is safe to say that I *hate* the rule of "6 feet apart" :P or anything that means I cannot or should? not hug my neighbor or my friends or family or ... anyone! I, Platy, of the family cyanPlatypus, ... I need hugs!)

1. How are you feeling today? I don't know. The 'simple' question of how are you - I dislike that question so very much. My counselor gets me to answer it in a way similar to how you've said here ...how are you feeling? or how are you feeling today? It is hard because it requires me to actually check with myself and try to figure out how I am emotionally and then put words to that. I don't know - maybe that sounds dumb because so many people ask us all SO many times and everyday how are you? what's up? What's new? etc.

At this very moment, I feel somewhat tired. I feel sore - my teeth and my mouth is sore. But I don't want to think about that very long because I get angry at my dentist and the people in his office. :(

2. The weather here is fine :) I think we officially got 2.0 inches of new snow on Saturday! :) :) I love snow :) Especially the new and clean kind. It snowed almost all of Saturday, a very fine snow. My SST loves snow very much also! Today she wanted to go out on our balcony ... just to eat some snow, I think!

3. "How is your weekend going?" The weekend is almost over! Thankfully! I dislike weekends quite a lot recently. I think this is mainly because 1) for a good chunk of 2020 I could not go to church on the weekend, and 2) my number of people on my support team who are available to me on the weekend days ... at about 4:50pm on Fridays takes a nose dive from about 5 to like 1. And it stays that way for the entire weekend! ALL of Saturday. ALL of Sunday. Part of Monday until things open again and there is a live someone to answer the phone. Three day weekends are - well, zero fun (unless we get new snow, maybe). I should maybe tell my counselor this (how my support people are off the grid for me on the weekends) so that we could figure out who could be support for me ON the weekends. :( This makes me sound quite needy. I don't like that.

Hug, please? Maybe? <3 Platy

Hi everyone, I hope you're having a great day/ weekend! Honestly I haven't used 7 Cups in a couple of years now... but the last week was hell to me as I have Borderline Personality Disorder and I started talking again with my "Favorite Person" which I hardly ignored in 2020 (as I signed up in many, MANY activities so I don't have time to think...). 1) How am I feeling? Well, I was a mess in the last week... It was too much till the point where I was feeling physical pain, yesterday I almost passed out; couldn't even bare to stand up feeling like someone is catching my heart with their strongest fist (heartache)... but today I read more about BPD and watched more videos about it, even though I know I have it; I just forget how it's all because of it you know? So after watching those videos and reading more articles about BPD I felt a bit of a hope that maybe, just MAYBE I can fix this and maybe this isn't how my life will always be if I started treatment etc... 2) How's the weather? Well... I might go out and cycle and will see how's the weather but I believe it's not hot neither cold; something in-between but yesterday there was a dust storm... 3) How's the weekend? Our weekend has finished a day ago, but it was terrible honestly. I even lost track of hours and days because I tried my best to sleep the whole week off to stop feeling the pain... I had a lot of suicidal thoughts lately; but I am feeling a bit optimistic today (maybe it's just hypomania 😂) that I can fix this and move on with my life you know? That's why I got back to 7 Cups and I reached out to a good therapist that I believe can help me learn how to deal with my emotions... Thank you for making this safe place for us 👐🏼
