Personality Disorders Community Check-in: January 4th-7th, 2021
Heya amazing people! This is the start of the first full week of 2021 and I hope it will be a great one for us all!
For the occasion, I wanted to share this reminder: growth is growth! And it may look like you’re growing less when comparing yourself to others but in reality you’re just growing differently, according to your own needs. It is your own growth, done at your own pace, for your own needs <3
How are you feeling today?
What is going well and not so well lately?
Which goals/focuses/objectives would you like to set for yourself for January?
I can’t wait to hear from you all! If you’re not feeling like following the questions, that’s very okay you don’t have to, you can share what’s on your mind, you can say hi, you can grab a hug, whatever feels right for you! Remember that this is a safe place for you to share <3
Sending you all much love,
Waves ~

@LinearWaves
How are you feeling today?....Kind of in between at the moment. I have some stressors that have been bringing me down recently and just trying to figure them out and be rid of them. But, at the same time, one of those stressors is allowing me to take some much needed time to myself today.
What is going well and not so well lately?.......Selfcare time has been going well since I've had plenty of it recently (whether warrented by myself or because of situations).... However, whats not-so-well, is that I'm still trying to deal with getting my new Fitness "indoor" classes off and running in the right direction which haven't been doing the best since before the holidays started... Everyone seems to have something better to do, or make excuses for not being there. Thats fine if they can't make it, however, I have a class to run & operate in a facility to pay for which isn't going to pay for itself. I know we are in different times, so I know it will be more challenging in getting "newer" people. However, even the "Regulars" that have been with me forever aren't really helping or working out so not sure what I have to resort to doing at this point. Also, I realize I have to make an appointment for something that I've been putting off, in hopes that the situation would resolve itself before now. Good vibes appreciated.
Which goals/focuses/objectives would you like to set for yourself for January?....To just continue on the right track and get back to where I was professionally and personally "Before" the pandemic started.
@PoliteOcean
Heya Ocean ! I’m sorry to hear that you’re feeling kind of in between at the moment, with stressors bringing you down… It’s very brave from you though to be trying to figure them out and to get rid of them and I hope you can figure them all out, one step at a time!
It’s great to hear that you’ve had plenty of self-care time lately, self-care time warranted by yourself is always better but it’s also good to be able to appreciate and transform time given by situations into self-care time as it’s always useful to refuel!
I can definitely understand your disappointment and frustration with your classes, it’s tough with the current situation and also tough as you changed places recently and were counting on your regulars… I really hope that the start of year will make things better, maybe with people’s new resolutions, with more people getting vaccinated and so on… As for getting new people on board, it does seem a tough thing to do especially with the current situation… I know you’re not one to turn away from challenges though and you’re always resourceful so I don’t doubt you’ll figure things out in the best possible way with everything considered! I also send you lots of good vibes for your appointment!
Best of luck for your objectives <3 Take care!
@LinearWaves Thank you for sharing such an amazing thread, loving it.
How are you feeling today?
It's raining here till night and I love rain. I'm feeling calm and for the rest, I may not go there...
What is going well and not so well lately?
Let's me tell you what's going well lately, it's winter, that is well for me
And now for that which is not going well, I have been feeling mixed lately. It is oftentimes much upsetting.
Which goals/focuses/objectives would you like to set for yourself for January?
I want to land on a suitable job for myself and keep practicing the routine I have initiated.
I loved writing it all here. Again, thank you for sharing, all the best.
@jasumin
Hey there ! I’m glad you like the check in !
Rain can definitely be soothing! Just like winter, the weather can be bad but I feel that there’s something relaxing about it!
I’m sorry though to hear that you’ve been feeling mixed and that it can get upsetting… Do you feel that you have mood swings or rather just some things being not great but not bad either?
Best of luck for these great goals, you’ve got this!
Thanks for checking in, take care!
@LinearWaves pleasure is mutual.
If I think of myself on that scale I'm in between.
Thank you a bunch and good time to you too.
How are you feeling today? - Today I'm feeling good, I woke up in a good mood, I mean it's hard not to when Your cats cuddle you.
What is going well and not so well lately? - Something going well is I've been taking me time and something not going well is I can't stop sleeping. I sleep between 14-17hrs a day and I feel like I'm wasting the day.
Which goals/focuses/objectives would you like to set for yourself for January? - For January I have been working on reading more and meditation everynight before bed.
@Goldcherry2113
Hey there ! It’s nice to hear you’re feeling good and woke up in a good mood, that’s always a great start of the day !
It’s such a good thing that you’ve been able to take time for yourself! About sleep though, do you feel there is something causing you to sleep this much?
Reading and meditation sound like great and relaxing things to do for January! Thanks for checking in, take care!
@LinearWaves I'm not sure. It's unlike me. Normally I don't sleep so maybe it's my body catching up, or that SAD kicking in.
@Goldcherry2113
It could indeed be your body catching up or your mood causing it ! If it continues and disturbs you on a daily basis, it could be good thing to check with a doctor if everything is alright!
@LinearWaves I will, Thank you for checking in!
@LinearWaves
1. How are you feeling today?
Slightly mad, slightly looking forward to my double shift as a volunteer at the botanic garden tonight, and slightly tired.
2. What is going well and not so well lately?
Going well; I love myself for the effort I’m making.
Going not so well; it looks like despite my best efforts, I’m moving to Florida at the end of this month, and I don’t want to move there.
3. Which goals/focuses/objectives would you like to set for yourself for January?
I just hope to keep my head and my hope above water.
@purpleTree4652
Hey there !
I hope your shift went well, it sounds really nice to volunteer at the botanic garden! I also hope you managed to get some rest so as to feel less tired!
I’m proud of you for making efforts! I’m sorry though to hear that despite them you’ll still be moving to Florida which you don’t want to… Are there some positives though about moving there or are there only negatives for you in this move?
These are amazing goals already! Best of luck and thanks for checking in, take care!

Thx!
@LinearWaves Hey there! 😀 I am doing fine. My husband ordered me some charms for my pandora bracelet today so I am happy! I have been productive lately. I am actually proud of myself.
@YourCaringConfidant
Hey there ! It’s great to hear you’re doing fine ! How cute of your husband to have ordered you these charms! It’s really great also to hear that you’ve been productive lately and most importantly that you’re proud of yourself, I’m proud of you as well! Thanks for sharing all this positivity, take care!
