@CaringBrit
Woohoo Brit, congrats! Welcome to the unofficial checkins team :D ❤️ xx
@rebecca947 lol thanks bear gave me the day yesterday just had to check if the person that usually does them was okin letting someone else have a day
@CaringBrit
i thought it was bear doing them on Tuesdays? :o
@rebecca947 i dunno bear pmed yesterday as they iknew ik wanted a check in day so i guess after asking everyone no one probs wanted to drop their extra days so i got a pm saying can i do tuesdays and start this week or was it too short notice
@CaringBrit Hey I know you lol!
1. music keeps the chatter down, on days that I want to withdraw I come to 7 cups
2. everything's kind of mixed a little agitated but a little down, but at least i'm not on the floor any more
3. had a revelation - my house, my rules The Red Queen has no power here. I intend to take a few precautions when the weather breaks
4. still dealing with urges possibly because of # 3 and the fact that I know there will be consequences and repercussions that make me nervous
Take care, it's nice to see you!
@mytwistedsoul music is awesome for sure glad it helps and 7cups is awesome too ofc you know mei do the icebreakers lol
aww sorry to hear you feel agitated a little down too but its great in your words your hnot on the floor so thats a plus right
great job on the revelation if thats a good thing that is it sounds like it is i hope i got that observation correct
urges arent easy but youve got this remember your coping methods their is always alternatives that can help with urges too depending on method used
its nice to see you too

@Tinycupcake nice choices there
What are your favourite Healthy Coping methods you love to use
Some of my fav coping skills are:
holding onto a frozen orange or anything frozen ( TIPP skill)
Deep breathing
Looking at concequenses before acting
Feeling the negative emotion but acting differently
meditation
Crying it out
reaching out to others for help and to express how I feel
turning OFF that song that is re-feeding the negative emotion and urges
writing poetry/prose/stories about what I feel
doing the opposite of self harm - self love, and pampering myself in some way
distraction
counting the number of circles/squares ( whatever shape) in the room
Doing something artistic
doing energy healing on myself - reiki
How are you all feeling today
I am doing way, way better than I have been.I am starting to get so angry at how I have let fear stop me from living an authentic life and become subdued and just try to survive each day...that I am at ( almost) that point I am ready to fight for myself and my life...my real authentic life. I am still feeling depressed but not stifled. I still break into tears and sob, but I can stop them after a while.I am still fighiting so hard ...but I feel I can get myself back.
One thing going well for you
I am not isolating - so I am getting a myriad of ideas and help from friends, here and irl. I am talking about what I am fearing and feeling - and not SHing them.
One thing going not so well for you
I am still so so so so scared.
@blissedNblessed love those copiong methods
i also understand how you feel its understandable to still feel sacared but great job on the support network you have there too its great your not isolating too
