Hello, @scarletPear1945
Yay I'm happy to hear that! All the best for this week 💙
Thanks for checking in @SilverSeastar
The photo you've chosen is perfect for the weather right now, very wintery, wet and gloomy which can have an effect on our mental health. I hope you are all keeping well! 🌼🌺🌻
Heya, @Lou73 💙 thank you.
For sure, the weather can affect our mood, temperament, and energy. I've been okies 😊 I happen to love the rain, it soothes me. I hope you've been well, too, Lou! 🌸
I'm glad you've been doing okay @SilverSeastar :) and very good point that rain can be soothing too, especially snuggled up inside with a book and some candles 😊🕯
@SilverSeastar
Hi, Seastar,
1. How was your week? How do you feel? I'm worried about a sui*idal friend.
2. 🌂 What are three things that went well today?
I started my new job today and i was good.
That's great to hear about your new job @purpleTree4652! I'm sorry you are worried about a friend, it can be really hard supporting people we care about when they are struggling 💙
@SilverSeaStar

how was my week: turbulent as always, in part caused by my own mind but mainly influenced due to life itself. I hate the assumptions my mind can believe beyond rational evidence and affect me. I’ve had some extremely bad news and if I think to long (I stay numb, distractions or anything that’s a way out of thinking) the downward spiral is inevitable. FAR to many things outside the concrete stuff are causing such a painful existence due to a self inflicted thoughts that may not be true.
I like this site yet seem to be hated and silenced due to my calling people out on hypocrisy at best, complete disregard for the rules not merely advising (wrong aways) but actually dictating to those in distress what to to, I.e stop thinking this or doing that… is apparently unacceptable to be called out on if it’s a popular user! Silence me not the real harm, ha yeah, well done 7cups…
beyond 7cups if facing some extremely painful experiences that I’m doing my best to cope with, at the same time on a far more insignificant level deal with hate generated by some people I’d only describe as a full blown narcissist. My heart sinks but hey the worlds far from perfect, be due different 7 cups, and I being so give evidence and feedback that’s credible on your decision please. How are we supposed to improve or reflect without
@LabeledBPD
what agent well…. My ability to say calm and hold a mature composure regardless of what’s happening inside.. The fact I’ve so far been able to exclude the actual really painful things life is throwing at me whilst dealing with the most, annoying yet far from important childish reactions to a open debate I’d love to actually have… things is what’s gone so well ultimately is having a unwavering perspective that’s strong in not biting or even caring for those who unable to even question or acknowledge a different perspective actually exists, right or wrong that also it may hold some difficult truths. I used to constantly feel sorry for myself and thankful that’s changed… good luck all
@LabeledBPD
must ask as any information much appreciated is starlitskys alright? Not seen or heard from her in ages and I can’t help but worry
@SilverSeastar
I have been busy working on my Christmas orders, things are going ok nothing to brag on. Keeping myself busy keeps my mind from going places it need not go.
My week was ok. Lots of ups and downs. I got hired for a remote position but my landlord wants to evict me because my brother stopped paying rent. He doesn’t wanna give me enough time to sort things out.
three things that went well today:
- I slept and that felt good
- i journaled and was able to express some thoughts I’ve been having
- i cooked some French fries which were tasty
