1) Physically I feel energized, emotionally I feel a bit conflicted and ashamed. I feel happy with a dark cloud hanging over my head if that makes sense. 2) I just moved across the country from a place that was toxic for me, I’m getting a job where my friend is the manager, I have plans to travel this year(safely), I’ve been writing a lot of poetry these last few weeks. 3) Problems with my boyfriend, anxiety with my boyfriend (he’s a past abuser) problems with my ex best friend, a lot of expenses and i haven’t been able to work real recently 4) Hiking and poetry are my favorites, I will hike anywhere I love exploring and I’ve loved poetry since i was a kid I get really creative with them and they help me process my trauma
Hello @aphroditemoon
I understand how you are feeling. It's normal to feel good physically and poor mentally. I'm glad you were able to move away from a toxic place! This is a great step towards happiness and I'm really happy for you <3 I hope your new work will make you happy and I hope you stay safe when you travel :) Writing poetry sounds fun, too. I'm sorry you are having problems with your boyfriend and former friend. Would you like to tell me more about what is happening? Hiking and poetry are cool hobbies!
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
1. Mentally exhausted, it’s been a rough day. 2. My art piece is going well. 3. I’ve had to get so much work done all at once, my brain was feeling fried. 4. I don’t know if it’s my top favorite but I like to embroider, it’s just very calming and you get to express creativity. Thanks for the check in!! ❤️
Hello @Rainbowphrog
I'm sorry you are feeling exhausted. I've been feeling that way too, recently. I'm glad your art piece is going well! What are you making? Embroidery sounds cool! I've been thinking about getting into it :o
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
I’m doing a big paint by number piece of a scene from howls moving castle and I’m doing a watercolor piece of a scene from howls moving castle as well. Thank you, have a good day!! :)
1) How are you feeling?
I am feeling alright. Tired.
2) What is going well for you?
I'm all caught up on schoolwork.
3) What is not going well for you?
My chronic pain has been bad. I've been using substances more.
4) What is your favourite hobby?
Video games. :)
Hello @TheMeadowSystem
I'm glad you are doing alright. Congrats on getting caught up on schoolwork! I need to do the same :P I'm sorry about your chronic pain. I hope you can find a healthy way to alleviate the pain <3 It sounds like you feel bad about using the substances. I know this feels frustrating, but I also know you have the power to overcome this. This will be hard, but it is possible :) I also like playing videogames! Which games do you play?
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple thank you! lately ive been playing a lot of dead by daylight and animal crossing~
1) How are you feeling?
I feel quite bad.
2) What is going well for you?
I am reading La Peste by Albert Camus.
3) What is not going well for you?
I feel so depressed since I have been fired from my work in 6/1/2021 with a sudden and insulting way and without getting December's salary. I still can't believe that I am a jobless now and can't accept this as a fact.
4) What is your favourite hobby?
I think reading because that what I can do now.
Hello @DinaElwy
I'm sorry you are feeling bad. I would feel the same way if I were fired. It sounds like the firing process didn't go smoothly either. It might not seem like it, but I promise you will find a job eventually. A member I have been chatting with was also fired from his job recently. He felt really hopeless but was recently hired! I know you probably have a different situation then the other member, but I'm sharing this story because I want you to know there is hope <3 That book sounds interesting, how do you like it so far? I also love reading :D
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple Thank you for sharing the story. Till now I enjoy reading La Peste.
@SnailPurple
1) How are you feeling?
Physically, tired. My eyelids are having trouble staying open even though I've got quite a bit of homework to read through. I think I'm starting to get a headache. Emotionally, okay. I've gotten used to most of my tribulations, and I know that I'm doing what I can to cope.
2) What is going well for you?
Checking in here and with my support group. I feel better that way.
3) What is not going well for you?
Handling my education and my sleep.
4) What is your favorite hobby?
It would either be reading or writing. Books have always been a reliable escape for me.
Thank you for the check-in. 
P.S.
I love The Latest Kate's works! 
Hello @TheAutumnWitch
It sounds like you are tired. I hope you can rest soon :) I'm proud of you for learning how to cope <3 I'm glad these check-ins are helpful! Is your support group here on 7Cups or offline? I'm sorry your education is not going well. The Student Support Center might have some helpful tips for handling the workload! I also love to read :D What genre(s) do you like to read and write?
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
I did go to bed earlier last night, and I slept in, so I did get that rest, thank you. :) I've been doing what I can. My support group is both here and offline. I will have to check out the Student Support Center; thank you for telling me about them. Yay, bookworm buddies! :D I like both reading and writing mystery, friendship, slice-of-life, historical fantasy, poetry, and a bit of psychological horror. What about you? ^_^
Thank you for replying to me! I really appreciate it.
