@QuietMagic
I am good today, thank you for asking 🥰
Looking forward to the weekend, open fires, football on, spice bag 😁
I felt I could help my brother over the last few weeks, he was struggling with his emotions and opening up. Men feel like they have to have all the solutions. I convinced him to go to a counsellor and he's doing much better and going to continue attending, I did practical things like collecting his kids from school, homework, meals, shopping, things to take off some of the pressure 🥰
I hope you are having a good week too!
@Amanda84
Hi, that sounds fantastic! I'm glad you have some enjoyable plans for the weekend. And that's amazing that you were able to help your brother in multiple ways (both the emotional side and the practical elements).
There's a fair amount of social pressure for men to be invincible. I'm sure it was meaningful that he was able to put down the armor and relax his grip on things for a bit and he didn't get ridiculed for it. 💜
Thanks, my week has been above-average 😊
hello all. i’m not exactly new to 7cups, however it’s been upwards of 5 years since i’ve last used it. since then i’ve gotten diagnosed with a few things, one of those being BPD. i’m currently not in therapy though am attempting to get back in it, finances willing. i’m hoping that by rejoining this site i’ll be able to improve myself on my own, especially if i’m unable to continue therapy. now, as for the questions asked:
i haven’t been doing very well for the past few days, despite having been doing quite well with my symptoms the past few weeks.
i’ve helped people recently by putting myself out there more and even making a new friend. i’ve helped her with some class work she needed to get done quickly
@jellyfishdiver
Hi, welcome back. 💜 Makes sense that therapy is on hold for now, and hoping that this site is able to help in the meantime. Passing along this thread (BPD-related resources) in case if there's anything in there that might feel helpful:

Sorry that the past few days have been difficult. (That experience with making the new friend and being able to help her with classwork sounds great though. 😊) Has anything been going on that's made the past few days feel especially bad?
@QuietMagic
🤍 How are you feeling today?
I'm okay, just exhausted.
💗 What's a recent situation where you felt like you were able to be especially helpful or useful to someone else?
I'm not sure, just helping out here or helping out my family perhaps.
@daydreammemories
Aw, sorry about the exhaustion. 💜 Hope you're able to have some time to recover before the internship starts. (I remember you mentioning a couple weeks ago that you were going to go on vacation, but maybe that already happened.) And glad you're doing what feels necessary for your family.
@QuietMagic
ah well, the vacation might not happen at all due to some family issues xD. so let's see.
and thank you!
