Heya!!
Love the affirmation
I didn't understand the first question exactly lol. But I am bored as usual haha
Yeh, I do walk daily so it's kind of physical activity to take care of your physical health.
I guess yesterday in one of the forum post, I complimented myself ❤
Talking with one of my friends makes me smile always
Loved the quote in the end again. Thanks❤
@LovetoGod
Haha. The first question was just what would someone else feel if they were you right now. What would it be like, you know. Walking is a super awesome way to power up our bodies, so it's really good to hear you take that step. And daily too!? Wow :o Impressive. I could never commit haha <3 Anddd that compliment countss hehe *high fives* for showing love to yourself. Anddd I'm glad that you have friends that can always make you smile. You deserve it!
Terrible. I am physically and mentally drained with a long long to do list. Anxiety, constantly staying alert...bad stuff
-Are you taking care of yourself physically?
I'm eating even if I don't want to, I am sleeping a lot so maybe. Also I am not exercising so I don't think I am taking care.
-When was the last time you complimented yourself?
When I was reviewing my vision board yesterday (evaluating what I have done so far). But it wasn't a compliment that made me feel better or anything. I felt numb. But I said something like "this looks good- you've been doing well".
-What made you smile today, if anything?
Some people cracked good jokes in the chatroom, but the smile was so fleeting and temporary, and now I am back to numbness.
Thank you so much for checking, and sorry this is brutally honest and sad. I hope you (anyone reading this) is doing better.
@FedUpWithPeople
Thank you for checking in with us and saying how you really feel. One of my favourite quotes is: "There's a price to pay for speaking the truth. There is a bigger price for living a lie." I'm really sorry that you feel this way right now. I can't imagine how tired you must be of everything. Just going through the motions of the day at this point. Anxious, tired. Just, terrible. I'm glad that you're doing the best to rest yourself and eat right now, despite you having no desire too. That counts for a lot, and you should be proud of that. Still counts as physical self care <3 And it's hard when we try to be good to ourselves, and feel nothing toward it. Just numbness. But you know what? Even if it didn't make you feel good, you're aware of what you're doing is good, and how hard you're working. That's amazing in itself. I hope that, the temporary and fleeting smile can turn into a pure and long lasting one soon. I really do. *sending all my support*
It's always so bad because I am not satisfied about myself because I am jobless and not undependable.
-Are you taking care of yourself physically?
No.
-When was the last time you complimented yourself?
I have never done.
-What made you smile today, if anything?
Nothing.
@DinaElwy
I'm so sorry that my reply to your response took so long. I hear that things are hard right now. Not having a job and all. I can't imagine what going through the day might feel like. It's understandable that you're not taking the best care of yourself right now. I'm hoping something makes you smile soon hehe. *sending support*
What's it like to be you right now? It's hard. Emotionally I'm wrecked. Mentally - I think I'm fubar. Some days - most days I don't like myself much
-Are you taking care of yourself physically? I eat sometimes and sleep when I can. I'm usually good at keeping busy so I get exercise with that
-When was the last time you complimented yourself? Lol - never
-What made you smile today, if anything? So far today nothing jas but it's been a down day today
Thank you for the check in
@xoBeebosBubsxo-
What's it like to be you right now? I am getting better every day for not wanting to self-harm, even though it is tricky to deal with and try to fight the urge simultaneously.
-Are you taking care of yourself physically? Yes, I am taking care of myself physically. I dance every night in my bedroom for an hour.
-When was the last time you complimented yourself? The last time that I complimented myself was four years ago.
-What made you smile today if anything? What made me smile today was talking on the phone with my friend that I will hang out with tomorrow.
@powerfulscarlet2729
You should be so proud of yourself for how far you've come on your journey. I'm so happy to hear that it's getting better for you. Hehe, keep it up<3 And wow! Dancing everyday is a commitment. I hope you'rehaving fun XD. And I also hope you had fun on your outing? :o How'd that go, if you don't mind me asking? And you haven't complimented yourself in so many years, but let me give you one today! You're so so so so strong!!<33 Thank you for taking the time to type this, and my apologies for my late reply!!
