@SnailPurple
1) How are you feeling?
I'm feeling okay. Trying to strike a balance between not stressing and not procrastinating.
2) What is going well for you?
Figuring out my future and the various paths I can take.
3) What is not going well for you?
An upcoming test that I know I am not sufficiently prepared for, and of which I yet am still procrastinating on studying for. (^__^;;) ...I'm like that.
4) If you could be in the Guinness Book of World Records, what record would you want to hold?
Hmm, this is a tricky one. If there's a category for "Most Resilient Despite Her Mental & Physical Illnesses", then I wouldn't mind holding that spot.
Thank you for the check-in! 
Hello @TheAutumnWitch
I'm glad to hear you are alright. It sounds like you feel unprepared for your upcoming test. I hope you find the motivation to study soon! I'm glad you are figuring yourself out! That's awesome :D I love that catagory <3
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
Thank you! I definitely was unprepared for it, but I managed to scrape by with a 75% after doing some last-minute studying. It's always nice to be figuring things out some more.
Thank you for replying to me! I hope all is well with you, too!
@TheAutumnWitch hello!
1) How are you feeling?
I am feeling quite good and productive, thank you so much! And how are you feeling?
2) What is going well for you?
I am having actually quite productive time with my notes and yt music!
3) What is not going well for you?
Actually everything's going quite good, nothing so bad so far, but it's start of new week :P
4) If you could be in the Guinness Book of World Records, what record would you want to hold?
...actually Guinness Book Record never was my cup of tea. No idea which record I can hold to!
1) How are you feeling?
I'm feeling pretty okay today. A little bit of melancholy, but not bad otherwise.
2) What is going well for you?
I'm learning to focus on the bright side and be kinder to myself. I have pretty high expectations of myself, and I don't always meet them, but I've also been able to take things in stride, learn from my mistakes, and be more encouraging than harsh with myself.
3) What is not going well for you?
Some days are just hard. I mess up on some days and revert back to my negativity, or I end up avoiding and neglecting some important tasks, or I snap at someone and really regret it later. I don't like myself, because of all my flaws, and it's just so frustrating to keep trying and trying and trying but still end up making mistakes after I've told myself for the thousandth time not to do it.
4) If you could be in the Guinness Book of World Records, what record would you want to hold?
I think I would like to be the kindest or most positive person
Hello @honestpanda81
I'm glad you are doing alright. I also have high standards for myself that I usually can't meet. I'm glad we are both learning from our mistakes and learning how to be kind to ourselves :) Learning to focus on the bright side is a great thing! Good thinking <3 We all have those days where we go back several steps. Recovery/healing is not linear. Try not to define yourself by those days; I know you still have the power to get better <3 I believe that is a beautiful record to hold <3
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
1 - I feel okay, although I've been really stressed about my schoolwork and trying to stay on top of everything.
2 - My dad is supporting me with my music journey (he's been teaching me guitar since i was 2, and he's helping me to record my own songs now :D)
3 - (tw) I can't go over two days without self-harming at the moment, I keep having flashbacks of past trauma.. I'm barely surviving right now, honestly...
4 - I think I'd like to hold the record for the longest concert >w<
Thanks again, I've only just joined and I already feel welcome <3

Hello @peitonbackhouse
I'm glad you are doing okay dispute school stress. I've been feeling stressed from school as well. I think it's awesome your dad is helping you record your own songs! good luck with your music journey :D It sounds like you have been many relapses lately. Do you have any coping skills for when you feel like self-harming? As for your flashbacks, I don't have any first-hand experience with trauma but I'm sure the Trauma Support Community could help you with this! Would you like me to give you links to the community and/or self-help guides? The longest concert sounds impressive :0 I'm glad you feel welcome already <3
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
hi! the links may help thanks ❤️
in all honesty, yea - but they don't really work... I've tried just playing guitar in place of self harm and it doesn't always last... 😅
1) How are you feeling?
I am feeling so awful.
2) What is going well for you?
Nothing.
3) What is not going well for you?
I am jobless since 6/1/2021 when I was fired in a sudden and an insulting way and without getting my last salary. I spend my day in sleeping all the day and overeating to the point that makes me feel that I am useless and not alive.
4) If you could be in the Guinness Book of World Records, what record would you want to hold?
In sleeping hours.
Hello @DinaElwy
I'm sorry to hear you are feeling awful. It sounds like you have been oversleeping and eating a lot. Even if you don't have a job, you still have value and worth <3 You might not see it now, but I promise that you have worth and will succeed. Would you like me to send you the Getting Unstuck Self Help Guide?
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple Yes I'd like to. Thanks
@DinaElwy
