1) How are you feeling?
.....terrible. I don't even know why. My exams just ended, and I did decently, so I have no real reason to feel like this
2) What is going well for you?
I'm so so confused right now I don't even know what to say. My brain knows that I've been getting better, but right now, none of that feels real. It feels like my life is hitting a low point, when I've in fact been coming out of a low point. It's so confusing. I don't really know how I feel. I just....want to SH
3) What is not going well for you?
Lol.
4)Â What are you reading right now?
Mindset, by Carol Dweck. Oh, the irony.
Hello @honestpanda81
I'm sorry you are feeling terrible. Sometimes we just feel sad for no reason. It's okay to feel this way, just remember that it will pass <3 It also sounds like you are having urges to self-harm. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you are feeling this way. We are here for you <3 If you would rather deal with this on your own, there are many resources under the resource tab. There is also a free self-help guide on overcoming self-harm I can send you :) How is your book going? Do you recommend it?
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
Yes, I've been trying out the resources you mentioned, thank you for offering. I'm feeling better today, and the book has actually been really helpful
I'm not feeling too great at the moment. I had a dream last night that brought up a lot of old bad emotions i thought id managed to shove away. But im finally here answering a post which I haven't had the energy to do in days. Weeks? I don't know, my sense of time is not pleasant, I'm so lost haha.
I started an art tiktok that's doing well so far, and got new paints and brushes. I'm really liking my latest paintings and Halloween is soon, which I love.
Things are getting a bit rough again at home, and I'm sad for no reason again. At least I had reasons before, now it's just...the depression. And it sucks. But it's not as bad as it could be which is great. But still sucky.
At the moment I'm not reading anything, haven't really had time to or the energy and focus and will to.
Hello @memelord500
I'm sorry about your dream. Do you want to talk about the memories it brought up? It also sounds like your home life is influencing your depression in a negative way. Do you want to talk about what is going on? I'm proud of you for checking in though! It can take a lot of energy to answer a post, so I'm proud of you for trying to reach out <3 I'm glad your TikTok is going well too! I'm also looking forward to Halloween :P
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
Thank you :) I don't know, I'm just in a bit of a blargle spot and have been for a while. Thank you for all your kind words ❤
1) How are you feeling?
Kinda empty. Like a garbage bin that just got emptied yet still filthy.
2) What is going well for you?
I have a place to stay and food to eat.
3) What is not going well for you?
I have no job or money.
4)Â What are you reading right now?
I just started Crime and punishment.
Hello @Flornhope
I'm sorry you are feeling empty. I find your trashcan analogy interesting, but it really helps me better understand how you are feeling :) Not having a job or money sounds stressful, how are you coping with this? I'm glad you have a place to stay and food to eat though! Crime and Punishment sounds interesting, are you liking the book?
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple Im definitely stressed about no income. I have been applying everywhere I can. But no response yet. Its been over a month now but nothing. I haven't done anything for myself other than going through the daily motions other than getting back on 7 cups and starting a book. I am only a few pages in and it's good so far. The main character is relatable and in a similar situation as I am but it is only the beginning of the book. Thank you for asking and caring.
@SnailPurple
Hey! This is a bit late but still wanted to participate and thank you for all the work you do <3
1) How are you feeling?
I've been feeling really tired lately! I have my coffee next to me and sippin it happily, but still feeling really exhausted from all the academic work and extracurriculars that I've been trying to accomplish.
2) What is going well for you?
Debate club has been going well! I'm teaching some kiddos this year, which is really new and cool.
3) What is not going well for you?
I accidentally forgot to turn in an English assignment and now my grade is really low, even though I'm usually really good at English! :((
4)Â What are you reading right now?
I've been trying to read some political theory articles and trying to get back into the book I was reading earlier last month "Just Mercy" !
Hello @TheAtticusFinch
I'm sorry you are feeling tired, I hope you can get some rest soon <3 I'm glad debate club is going well for you! I'm also in my school's debate club :D How long have you been debating? I'm sorry about your English grade, I hope you cam get it up! Sounds like you have been reading some interesting articles :D
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
