How was your week? How do you feel?
Not too great, been a bit of a rough one mentally. Kinda exhausted right now.
How are you nurturing yourself today?
Right now I'm trying to be patient with myself, try to give me time to get a hang of things instead of forcing myself to.
@OneErased
Hello, Erased. I'm sorry to hear it's been rough, some weeks really do drain us more. I hope you can find time to rest and feel better, you deserve it.
Being patient instead of forcing yourself—I love that, and I need to remember that myself. Thank you for checking in today. 💛
@SilverSeastar

@Swiftygirl13
Heya, Swifty. Sounds like a really stressful day, I'm sorry you had to go through that.
Music does wonders, doesn't it? I hope listening to something you love helps you feel better. 💛

@elli025
Hello, Elli. I'm glad your week has been okay and that you feel okay. 💛
Water and lunch 🥰 thank you for taking care of yourself today, Elli!
@SilverSeastar
🌻 How was your week? How do you feel?.....It went well, fast, and a little busy (in a good way). The weather has been amazing and makes me feel great. 🌞🌴
🌻 How are you nurturing yourself today?.....By taking time to enjoy the beautiful weather we've been having each day, and getting in my Swimming Pool.... I take time to just lounge in the sunshine and water, listening to my favorite music, and then do some laps afterwards. 🏊
@PoliteOcean
Heyos, Ocean! Busy in a good way, sounds like you had a productive week. 😊 Yay for the awesome weather and feeling great!
That sounds lovely, Ocean. It's good to take the time and enjoy all these as they're easy to take for granted. Thank you for nurturing yourself. 💙
My week has been horrible. My youngest child and I had an argument 10 days ago and he hasn't been home since. He is safe with family but this is the first time this has happened in over 20 years of parenting and I am so distraught. My eldest moved out a year ago and I was only just starting to recover/adjust. I have been crying non-stop and it feels unbearable and unfixable. All I can see is all the mistakes i have made as a parent with (pretty well-controlled) OCPD. I miss him so much and desperately hope he comes home, but maybe that is a mistake as I can be a terrible person to live with. There is only one person in the world who really knows me and still likes me, my eldest child, and as their mother it isn't right to expect too much of them. So just crying and suffering alone! It hurts so much. I can't see my counsellor anymore as i don't have enough money.
@rosepetal75
Hello, there. I'm so sorry 🙁 I can only imagine how distressing all this must be for you. Your feelings are valid and I hear you. You are not alone here 💙
Hi rose petal,
Sorry to hear about your troubles with your son. Its must be really hard for you. Try not to beat yourself up. Think how you would talk to you if you wasn't you, if you was a friend asking to talk. Try be compassionate and give yourself a break. By sounds of things your trying hard and there is a lot to be said for that. Your son I'm sure loves you. Hang in there.
@Afterthought1
Thanks for you kind and supportive words. I have now seen him. You are right, he does love me and misses me but is going through a lot of changes and seeking independence. It is such a hard adjustment for me, and hard to be there for him and for myself also.
@SilverSeastar
Magical greetings
My week has been good, bit tired but doing well.
I'm nurturing myself by spending time with family and friends 💕.
@ChildGoddessFlute
Magical greetings, Flute! Really good to hear that you're doing well, hope you've been able to rest too. 😊 Precious time with family and friends, sounds lovely! Stay magical, Flute ✨
