How are you feeling?
After sleeping a bit more last night, I feel pretty good
If I had to quantify it, I'd say 3/10 fear/shame, 3/10 anger, 1/10 sad and 4/10 happy. Which is pretty good for me
What are your plans for the end of the month/year?
Nothing in particular, try and avoid fire works, probably by putting ear plugs in 😉
And gonna try to humbly enjoy food and listen to my body when it's telling I've had enough, cause I get really bad cramps when overeating.
Bottom line: self care
What are you the most proud of?
In the last year, I've gone from, when on a walk, spotting people from 100 meters away I'm gonna run into and making way. To walking the same path I planned on, have the other people make way at least a little. I still have to repeat "I'm not moving" over and over in my head to do it, but it's progress. I have just as much the right to walk in public space as others do
Something else is, that in the last 2 weeks I've been doing personal Check ins every day. Noticing my stress levels getting to problematic a lot less often. Definitely wanna keep doing this and expand on it in the new year.
@Madaraismyspiritanimal
Heya Madara !
Im really sorry for taking so long to answer your check-in, but glad to hear from you!
Its great that youre feeling pretty good, and also a good thing that youre able to identify and quantify your feelings so well, as its not always an easy task. After having identified these 3/10 parts (fear/shame and anger), are you able to find some things to do to deal with them?
Fireworks in this season can definitely be annoying, ear plugs sound like a great idea indeed! Overeating is also another annoying thing of this season. I hope you can avoid these cramps, I find that taking small portions of a bit of everything (when there are lots of different things) and not having much alcohol usually helps me not get to that overeating step.
Im not sure what you meant with Bottom line: self care, do you mean that self-care has been hard to do lately?
This is amazing progress! And 100% true that the public space belongs to you just as anybody else. Its also a great idea to do personal check-ins, I find that just as being able to identify and quantify your feelings, it helps you know yourself better and avoid things from going south as you will know better when something is starting to overwhelm you and be able to answer to it accordingly.
Thank you for checking in with us today and sharing your progresses, Im really proud of you for them! Take care!
@LinearWaves
With bottom line i meant that you can summarize these things as self care.
But it's true too that taking good care of myself can be hard sometimes, cause I find myself thinking "It can wait" or similar thoughts.
@Madaraismyspiritanimal
It's a good kind of self-care to not push yourself further your limits eating-wise! I hope you can also apply that to other things, as it's never good to push yourself further your limits "any-limit-wise"
Hi there @LinearWaves :)
Today I am feeling... weird, I guess. Guilty... I had a very nice weekend. And I feel like... I don't deserve it. Hmm.
I don't have any specific plan for the rest of the month... my family will be visiting me for Christmas and I am not exactly looking forward to this. It is going to be a very challenging week. My ex husband hasn't decided yet if we can swap weeks with the kids, so that is another big question mark. If I am alone, I may go to spend some days at the seaside for New Year's Eve.
I am proud of myself because despite everything I am working hard to get better. I try to remain compassionate. Daily therapy is extremely difficult but I am not quitting.
Wish you a lovely week <3

Hey Valeria!
First things first, I
@LinearWaves
Thank you for your words, you are always very kind
Have a great day at work!
@LinearWaves
How are you feeling?
i guess i am feeling pretty okay today so far! i have lots to study for today, but i guess i am kind of motivated to do it? And my mental health is doing great.
What are your plans for the end of the month/year?
we will be on a vacation so my plans are just relaxing.
What are you the most proud of? (it can be a small thing!)
i am proud of my braveness and strength.
@dynamicHemlock1736
Heya ! Very sorry for the late reply, work is really busy in the end of this year…
Its good to hear that youre feeling pretty okay and motivated to study! I hope you managed to do all you were planning to do!
Relaxing is great! Especially when studying, I hope you have a great time!
These are two amazing strengths, you definitely should be proud of them!
Take care and thanks a lot for checking-in x
@LinearWaves
How are you feeling?
I'm ok. I mean I have been feeling very tired the last few days, but I have been writing on my novel the other day, finishing a chapter and feeling really good about it. I have almost forgotten how to write lol 
But I feel ok. I need some more sleep obviously, but yeah. I can do this. I need to be able to do this. I have to.
What are your plans for the end of the month/year?
I need to loose some weight this month, and next year. And I need to finish my book this month, so I can begin writing on my other story-idea. I have so many right now that doesn't fit in with the idea I'm writing on now. So I have to finish it, so I can... get on with the other stuff, yeah... OH! And I gonna start fitness soon, so I can loose that weight. Preferably 10 kg over the next year, hopefully more.
What are you the most proud of? (it can be a small thing!)
That I have beat my own record by 1500 words in half an hour. I'm really proud about that.
@EvilRegalsReadToo
Hey there ! Im really sorry for the delay in my answer, the end of the year is incredibly busy at work!
Im glad that youre okay, despite being tired. Will you be able to get some rest over the Christmas holidays? And hey, youre doing it! And Im super proud of you for handling it all! Its also great that you found some time to write, especially finish a chapter! Do you have things all planned out by the way? Like, do you know already what is going to happen in every chapter? Or you play it by heart?
These are some great goals! I wish you good luck on them, youve got this! I find that fitness really helps me in my everyday life, by pushing me to be more active, I hope it does the same for you as well as helping you lose weight as youre planning to!
Wow that seems to be a lot! I wish I could write that fast when I have reports to write haha!
Take care and thanks for checking in with us today, always good to hear from you x
How are you feeling?
I'm better than I was this morning. I made some hot cocoa with wipped cream and cinnamon and it is very good. I haven't got to much more work to do before break so lets just hope I finish everything I want to get done. I have a lot of laundry that I need to do.
What are your plans for the end of the month/year?
I'm going to a friends house the day before Christmas eve which I am looking foward too. I'm also going to a different friends house for New Year's and I'm happy I get to start the year with the people I really care about. I'm a couple weeks clean and I hope to keep that streak into the new year.
What are you the most proud of? (it can be a small thing!)
I've done things that scare me. Some things have had positive results. Some negative. But I'm still proud I took risks.
@fairmindedRaspberries1389
Heya! Sorry for the delay in my answer, work is hectic!
This drink sounds super good plus Christmassy! I hope you managed to do some of the things you needed to do, to cross them off of your planning!
It sounds like you have great plans for the end of the year celebrations! It
@LinearWaves
How are you feeling? I feel ok. I had my chemistry exam today and I think I did ok! I have a math exam tomorrow and an English one the day after, so I need to study :0
What are your plans for the end of the month/year? After I finish my exams, I am going to study American History. I love history and I want to get ahead in my course.
What are you the proudest of? (it can be a small thing!) I am proud of myself for coming in third place at my school's geography bee
