1) How are you feeling? A bit sad.
2) How do you plan on taking care of yourself this week? Looking at what i can do in the future!
3) If you were to write a letter to your own self for hard times, what would you tell yourself?
"Don't give up. Theres people who care. The world needs you or god wouldn't have created you."
@Asher2343
Hey there ! Im sorry to hear youre feeling this way, is there something specific causing you sadness that youd like to talk about ?
Yay thats a great plan to look at what you can do in the future, any plan started already?
This is a really powerful letter, I hope you can remind it to yourself if you ever need to, because yes, the world definitely needs you and people care!
Take care and thanks for sharing x
@LinearWaves
Hey, Its just my parents that make me sad all the time.
I have a plan to quit this job and be part of the RSPCA, which i do know i have to work hard to get there but i will eventually reach it.
Take care too!
@Asher2343
I get you about your parents and I
1) How are you feeling? A little anxious.
2) How do you plan on taking care of yourself this week? Seeking help here.
3) If you were to write a letter to your own self for hard times, what would you tell yourself? You will get better, you just have to work towards that.
@jayswing
Heya ! Feeling anxious can definitely be tough… Is there something in particular youre feeling anxious about, if you dont mind me asking?
Its good to know youre planning on seeking help here when needed, I also hope it will be able to help you feel less anxious!
Its a really inspiring letter, thanks for sharing it! Its good to remember that we can work and get where we want when were not yet where we want, theres nothing set in stone and we always can work towards getting better!
Take care x
1) How are you feeling? - Horrible. I was doing better and then I had a wave of sadness yesterday because I was missing my friend. So I posted about it and I was talking with my friend, Royal, to feel better. But apparently Freedom (who was defending the person I was missing and posted about) and Annie (Royal's friend who was defending me) started arguing and it just made my situation worse. But instead of self-harm, I just painted a cut on my wall. At least I'm getting my frustration and stuff out, it's better than keeping it in.
2) How do you plan on taking care of yourself this week? - Drink more water, I need to anyways and I've been crying a lot. Ignore Freedom if anything happens again because that's just gonna get me down more. Talk with my friends more because they make me feel better. Get my homework done because I need to do that anyway and it will help my grade. Eat a proper three meals a day because I've been seriously slacking on that. Get a full night's rest because one hour a day isn't going to cut it.
3) If you were to write a letter to your own self for hard times, what would you tell yourself? - Don't give up. You're getting help and you don't need to be hung up on one person. I know it's hard, but you're strong and you can push past it. You don't have to completely forget about them, but you can limit your thinking and limit your hurt. It's a lot to ask, but as I said, you're strong and you can ask so many people and they'd all say the same.
@LogyBear
Hey there Bear, I
Hello @LinearWaves ! How's it gong? I hope you are keeping safe
I'm feeling a bit drained. Being quarantined with an emotionally abusive parent is difficult. I mean, I know my mom doesn't mean to hurt me, but she's got her own personal trauma and she's really unstable and I can never tell what she wants from me. I don't mind being around her when she's stable but there are times when she's hurtful and I don't want to be around her.
As much as I want to be there for her, I know that I have to take care of myself first and I refuse to bend over backwards to meet her emotional needs. She is the parent, not me. I know this sounds a tad harsh, but she's put me through a lot and it's hard to spend this much time with her. I still love her though.
I think taking care of myself this week looks like going for walks on sunny days (there's some trails in the woods close to my house).
Writing a letter to myself in hard times? Well, I think it would go something like this:
Hey you. You're just trying to stay alive, and that's okay. Don't worry about her, she'll cool off in a bit. Just keep focusing on staying alive, okay?
It's short, but I don't think I'd have the energy to read a long note if I was in that kind of state.
Last thing before I go grab some lunch, my birthday is later this week, and I'm kind of disappointed that I have to spend it inside. However, I know a few restaurants are still doing delivery (no sit-in service) and one of my friend's family owns a mexican restaurant so I think will support local and order a nice birthday dinner from them :)
Welp, I should go get something to eat haha. Take care and stay safe!
