@SnailPurple
1) How are you feeling?
Tired and discouraged. Considered relapsing into my mind's sinkhole, but decided it's not really worth it right now.
2) What is going well for you?
School, thankfully. Turning things back around to my usual academic performance.
3) What is not going well for you?
Sleeping. Stupid nightmares. -3-
4) What is the last song you listened to?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxdgkPFht8E Currently on an Aviators kick, lol.
Thank you for the check-in, as always. 
Hello @TheAutumnWitch
I'm proud of you for pushing through your thoughts <3 Staying clean is really hard, I think it is great you were able to change your mind :) I'm also glad to hear school is going well for you. I'm sorry about your nightmares, would you like to tell me what they are about?
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
Thank you. It is quite the challenge. <_<; I do what I can to keep my mind off of them, which I think factors into my academic performance- studying and turning in homework early is a surefire way to keep busy. I won't go into detail on forums about my nightmares, but I will say that they tend to resort in me having to run. For the most part, I've gotten used to having nightmares; I'm just not particularly enjoying the accompanying fear and nervousness that they bring whenever I wake up and prepare to go to bed.
Thank you for replying to me; I appreciate you. 
Not feeling good about myself
Hello @friendlyFarm2629
I'm sorry you are feeling bad about yourself. Would you like to tell me more about what is going on?
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
1) How are you feeling?
I feel bad and awful.
2) What is going well for you?
I have finished reading La Peste by Albert Camus
3) What is not going well for you?
I can't search for a new job because I can't forget what happened to me in 6/1/2021 when I was fired in a sudden and insulting way and without getting my last salary. I feel injustice and dispair. Also, my results in the postgraduate diploma have not been approved yet, so I cannot register for the master’s degree, in which it has been announced that registration will be opened soon.
4) What is the last song you have listened to?
Beethoven - String Quartet No. 14 in C♯ minor, Op. 131 https://youtu.be/6yCp8j2jquQ
Hello @DinaElwy
I'm sorry you are feeling bad. Is your firing preventing you from getting a new job? I hope you find out about your postgraduate diploma results soon! Congrats on finishing the book! Did you like it?
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple Yes, my dismissal from work still prevents me from looking for a new job because I still remember that foggy day 6/1/2021 when I was fired in a sudden and insulting way. Thanks for my support anyway. Yes I enjoyed the book and I highly recommend reading it.
@SnailPurple
1) How are you feeling?
Not that great
2) What is going well for you?
My daughter and I have been getting along better lately. I had a good session with my therapist on Thurs.
3) What is not going well for you?
I'm getting depressed again and I'm not sure why.
4) What is the last song you have listened to? You Say by Lauren Diagle
Hello @RedHawk6547
I am so sorry for the late response <3 It sounds like you were feeling depressed last week. How are you feeling now? I'm glad your therapy sessions went well! I love it when you leave their office feeling good :) I'm also glad to hear you and your daughter are getting along well <3
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
It's not the 29th for me but this is the most recent one so..
1) How are you feeling?
Not very good at all. I should know by know that when you bottle things up, they inevitably resurface. Dealing with the same crap for 5 years, just periodically shoving it down and waiting for it to come back.
2) What is going well for you?
I've been hanging out with my sisters more often, going on little "donut and milkshake dates" and talking more. It's good to get as much of that in, since I'm moving 7 hours away for uni at the end of February.
3) What is not going well for you?
I'm seriously considering self-harming again. I've just hit 2.5 years on the 21st, but lately it's so hard to even remember why I stopped in the first place. It seems like the only thing that will "help" even for a second. My reasons not to feel so fickle, and I just feel like I'm delaying the inevitable. I remember a big milestone for me was looking at [the tool I used] and not seeing it as a self-harm tool - today I saw one, and the first thing I saw was a self-harm tool :(
4) What is the last song you have listened to?
I'm currently listening to a random spotify playlist and I don't recognise the songs
Hello @Itgetsbetter122
It sounds like you have been bottling things up. How would you feel about finding a way to release those emotions? I've found that journaling or connecting with a listener always helps me :) Congrats on making it to 2.5 years clean! That is a huge milestone and I am so happy for you <3 I know how it feels to consider a relapse. I've been clean for almost two years and I have been having urges lately too. How would you feel about brainstorming coping skills? Would it be possible to remove the tool you use from your home? I'm glad you have been able to hang out with your sisters more! I agree, it is a good idea to hang out with as much as possible before you move :)
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
1) How are you feeling? I feel very unhappy.. I feel like nothing ever goes well for me and I don’t know why I can’t just be happy and feel happy. 2) What is going well for you? Hm nothing I guess.. except that I’m alive and my family is doing well 3)What is not going well for you? Well everything.. my academic is in shambles, I haven’t been able to read because I can’t focus.. my love life is a mess too. 4) Adele- love in the dark
Hello @kaylee005
I am so sorry this response is so late <3 I understand feeling like nothing is ever going to go well. It is really frustrating! I promise good things will come your way though :) I'm sorry you have been struggling to focus in school <3 I've been struggling as well. Do you know what is causing this? I'm glad you are alive <3
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
