1) How are you feeling today?
I'm not so good, yesterday was my birthday but it was a crap show :( I had my strongest urges yesterday I was so angry and hurt and really wanted to relapse but called my friend then went to sleep. I just need a break, somethings got to give.
2) What is one thing going well for you today?
I'm going to the village to have a party and hang out with my husbands family plus eating fast food yum!
3) What is one thing not going well?
Financal issues it's hard being living on one paycheck in a big city I can't work I can't speak french. My mom gave me money she owed me for my bday again and my younger sister gets a truck next month tho she doesn't have her license so that hurts. Also we aren't on good terms because apparently I run my mouth to my friend which all I did was talk to her, but I'm not allowed but my dad is and my moms allowed to tell other people. But we got in a fight because it's private and should stay in the family.
4) If you had to delete all but 3 apps from your smartphone, which ones would you keep?
Facebook, Pimd, and Hollywood story.
@itidc
Happy Birthday! I hope you can enjoy tonight with your husband and friends.
I'm sorry yesterday was so painful. Special days/ holidays can be especially rough. I'm glad you made it through.
And I"m very used to having to hide family stuff. Hugs. I know it's hard.But know that you are loved and supported here. I'm so sorry it's so hard.
@SnailPurple
1) How are you feeling today?
Amazing! It's my day off. I got up early to go on a long walk with a friend. Did yoga. My friend treated me to a coffee. Got 11,000 steps by 9am. Then just did my counseling session, which was awesome!!! The weather is gorgeous Going to go shopping and buy stuff for a homeless lady I've adopted and give it to her! Plus, some errands and laundry and dishes so semi-productive day. And then fire pit with some friends. It's the most "normal" day that I've had a in awhile. I'm loving it!!!!
2) What is one thing going well for you today?
See above
3) What is one thing not going well?
Having to wear short sleeves because my last self-harm episoe (5 days ago yay!) scarred. And I'm feeling some shame from that.
4) If you had to delete all but 3 apps from your smartphone, which ones would you keep?
Why! Why why! Definitely Instagram and Facebook (which comes with Messenger) but the 3rd....I can't decide between Zoom, What's app, Target, Spotify, Pandora, or Fitbit. And I also really love Goodreads and Nextdoor. I love 7 cups, but their app has a lot of glitches for me. I'm better off using the website, so I could lose that. I also love my Bible app/Group Me, First 5, Shopkick, Weather Channel,TikTok......ahhhhh. Oh, and pre-loaded apps such as weather, mail, and podcasts don't count right???/. This question is breaking me!
@FigureskatingEquestrian
I'm so glad your having such an amazing day hanging out with friends always brightens the day! And awww youre so sweet and thoughtful and generous to help that lady out! 
I understand your strugdle and I'm here for you don't let your scars/cuts bring you down they tell a story, your story of how your one step closer to getting better. I'm rooting for you!
Hello!!!
1) How are you feeling today?
Initially just fine, but I got reminded of something slightly traumatic so now I'm feeling bad :(
2) What is one thing going well for you today?
I ate curry today~ I've been craving it for so long
3) What is one thing not going well?
Yeah, that, I got reminded of something terrible :(
4) If you had to delete all but 3 apps from your smartphone, which ones would you keep?
Twitter, because all my online friends are there. WhatsApp to communicate with family and in-real-life friends. And also one fun/relaxing game to pass time ^^
@Hydrangea03
sending positive vibes your way
Thank you so much <3 take care~ @itidc
@Hydrangea03
No problem and you too!
@Hydrangea03
Curry makes everything better! :)
Sorry about the intrustive memory. Hope all gets better.
Indeed! Thank you for your concern~ take care! @1morday
1) How are you feeling today?
Basically stable with a small streak of sadness, that I'm hoping my afternoon workout will tame for 24 hours or so.
2) What is one thing going well for you today?
I spent the morning working on a project successfully and was responsible and got up early to get on top of my other duties, cos if I let them hang over me I get stressed and the inclination to SH is much worse. And I spoke with a mentor who encouraged me this morning.
3) What is one thing not going well?
Its actually all good so far. But I have barely left my office, so hard for too much to go wrong :)
4) If you had to delete all but 3 apps from your smartphone, which ones would you keep?
Actually I don't have a cell phone, but I have an iPad. Um Kindle, Audible and a spirituality App I use. I guess the web browser is a freebie?
@1morday
keep up the good work im proud of you.
1) How are you feeling today? Lower than normal
2) What is one thing going well for you today? I'm okay. I woke up on time and made it to work. My trainee is doing well and should be getting certified in a week or so.
3) What is one thing not going well? Life. My ex keeps reminding me of the past and it's a real downer. She keeps syaing "you keep wanting to pretend the past never happened" and I'm like "And you don't want to think of anything but the past all the f-ing time. you treat me as if you're some perfect ahole and I'm just the st under your shoe. Like why even get back with me if you were going to live in the moment before our new relationship even started?" Really tho. Why did she get back with me if she's just going to break up with me over the same reason she broke up with me last time? I didn't do anything wrong this time. What's the point of taking medication, going to a therapist, and putting all this work in if it's going to be swept under the rug.
4) If you had to delete all but 3 apps from your smartphone, which ones would you keep?
Phone app so I can make calls.
Text app so I can avoid making calls.
Maps so I'll never be lost or stuck wondering when the next bus will arive.
Hello @VivianTheBoy
I'm sorry about your mood and your ex <3 You don't deserve to be treated this way. I'm glad you were able to get up on time! While the victory may seem small, it is definitely something to be proud of :) I would probably pick the apps :P
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
1) How are you feeling today?
I am feeling good.
2) What is one thing going well for you today?
I am eating very healthy today and I am proud of myself!
3) What is one thing not going well?
I signed up for therapy yesterday on BetterHelp, and I haven't been matched with a therapist yet. It is making me anxious but hopefully I will be matched with one soon.
4) If you had to delete all but 3 apps from your smartphone, which ones would you keep?
I would keep Spotify, 7cups, and MapMyRun (only because I love to run and it helps me track my mileage)
Hello @Ecargrace
I'm glad you are feeling good! Eating healthy is a great thing, keep it up! I hope you find a good therapist <3 Good app choices!
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
Hey to my 7cups family:
I am so sorry i haven't been around much. I've been having a rough time lately.
I lost my uncle unexpectedly and the wake and funeral were last week. I haven't given myself time to grieve and as a result, I've been a bit of a mess. I am also dealing with a breakup which was also unexpected. The breakup happened back in march and I'm still having a lot of unresolved feelings about it. We still remain friends and for her friendship alone, I'll always be grateful for her.
I can't say that i haven't relapsed because I'd be lying to myself and to you guys. Watching my father cry over the loss of his youngest brother has been incredibly difficult. My sister has been better with it and I've just been pushing whatever i feel to the side trying to be a pillar of strength for everyone else.
I'm exhausted.
I don't even know how I'm supposed to process all of this.
Hello @BrokenAngelxx
I'm sorry for your loss <3 Dealing with both a breakup and a death in the family is incredibly hard, especially if you are watching your family members grieve. Please take as much time as you need for yourself. If you ever need to chat, please don't hesitate to reach out to a listener :) Remember, you have a whole community behind you who want to support you <3
@SnailPurple
Thank you.
I'm not sure how to deal. I feel like a lot has been thrown at me these past few months.
I'm not even sure that i know what to say or what to do. I'm at a loss for words.
@BrokenAngelxx
I'm here for you <3
@SnailPurple
Thank you. I appreciate your kindness in this difficult situation💔
I'm eternally grateful for my 7cups family🖤
Also It's still pride month, so happy pride yall 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
