one thing going well
That I feel okay haha
one thing not going well
My boyfriend isn't feeling well
what do you think to the quote above is there a song it makes you think off
That i'm a star no matter what!
@Goldcherry2113
glad to hear that
oh dear on your boyfriend not feeling well hope he gets well soon
oh who sings that song or is that just how it makes you feel from the quote above
@CaringBrit I read the question wrong haha. That's just how I feel. I'm not sure for a song tho
@Goldcherry2113 oh yh oh dear lol its fine
@CaringBrit
How feeling today: kind of maybe alone although surrounded by people
One thing going well: one more thing left to do and then I can sleep
One thing not going well: i want to sleep now
What do i think? Olbers' paradox - you can Google it
@twm
i understand that feeling all too well
hope you slept well and not familiar with the paradox thing
@CaringBrit
how are you feeling today
I feel less panicked than yesterday, so I guess that's good? I have actually worked out today as I should, and a little more, ticking in with 31 km on my bike. I feel really proud of it. I have done my bikerides, my walk and my gym-going. Now I only miss my before-night-yoga, and I'm actually looking forward to doing it. And my emotions are in check, so I feel really well. Looking forward to have a good day tomorrow with my grandma. We always have a good time and I love seeing her. Haven't seen her much for the last three weeks, so tomorrow will be good to get in touch.
one thing going well
My training is finally going well again. I am back on track!
one thing not going well
My legs kinda hurt. I have surely overdone my workout a little today, but some stretching and yoga can get me a long way.
what do you think to the quote above is there a song it makes you think off
Reminds me of a quote from Harry Potter: "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." I kinda like that one. Reminds me of trying to stay positive, even if sh*t goes to hell.
@EvilRegalsReadToo
feeling less panicked is great awesome job on the working out too
glad to hear training is back on track, what you training for
awww also youtr getting back into it so maybe with time it wont be as sore afteroh yeah i see the similarities thankyou for sharing
@CaringBrit
Just training for loosing weight :)
@EvilRegalsReadToo oh ok sounds like its going well then
how are you feeling today
Trying to relax.
one thing going well
I received the salary of December.
one thing not going well
I can't prove myself in my job.
what do you think to the quote above is there a song it makes you think off
I am afraid of darkness.
@DinaElwy
aww did you in the end get to relax what helps you relax
awesome job congrats
oh no why
aww im sorry to hear that
@CaringBrit
how are you feeling today
Anxious and sad
one thing going well
I'm not in jail or in the ground
one thing not going well
I'm broke
what do you think to the quote above is there a song it makes you think off
No reason for stars if it wasn't dark
@Flornhope
sorry t hear your feeling anxious and sad what had you feeling this way
yes both of those things are great
aww no i know the feeling
1. how are you feeling today: I'm alright today! Had some numbness earlier, and was really out of it before having my caffeine. But I plan to cut down on the caffeine again so I can enjoy positive feelings more.
2. One thing going well: I had a really great workout tonight and I feel mildy good.. and I know I only feel mildly good because the caffeine is blunting it, making it feel distance. Otherwise I'd be feeling on top of the world! Regardless I'm proud of myself and my progress. On the bright side, caffeine also mostly blunted the negative emotions but I'm ready to start dealing with them again uncaffeinated. It may hurt but it'll strengthen me in the long run. Gotta keep that long-term goal in mind constantly.
3. One thing not going well: I was still able to feel some negative emotions in reaction to triggers. But of course, now I remember I don't have to react to triggers, nor to my emotions. They don't control me, I control them. I can let them pass like clouds in the sky or leaves in a river. It may seem silly, but honestly it's so much better to observe and get curious about my difficult emotions from a distance than be caught in the middle. Even if I do it hours later.
4. what do you think to the quote above is there a song it makes you think off? I think the quote makes sense! In order to know that good moments are good, we have to experience the bad ones too... if we never know bad, how would we ever know good? Makes me feel grateful for even the bad I've been through because I can learn from it. I may feek weak at times but ultimately I'll be stronger for pushing through it. Or, I'll be stronger for understanding my limits if I don't push through it in the most positive way. I'm not sure if it reminds me of a song... is there a correct answer to this?
@Lexloveslife
glad to hear you were alright when you posted this hope that is still the case and awesome on planning to cut down hope that goes well lex
yayyy glad to hear your workout was really great and great job lex i believe in you
you are so correct lex and im proud of you
lol no right or wrong just how you feel to it and if there was a song it made you think off and very true how can we know good without the bad gotta have both for balance that might suck bu its how we overcome them
how are you feeling today
meh...
one thing going well
i'm having a good coffee as i am typing
one thing not going well
alcohol cravings.... i miss my wine :(
what do you think to the quote above is there a song it makes you think off
the song makes me think of jung and accepting our shadow, our dark side. only then we can be a complete personality.
@Whitewaterlily
oh your feeling meh is everything ok
hope you enjoyed your coffee as you were typing , my intake increased this last month as found been helping with a sore throat otherwise i rrely drink it have missed coffee though its definetly a pick me up dont you think
aww no are you recovering from alcohol that must be rough having cravings if so i dont want to assume so hope you dont mind me asking
oh its a quote not from a song my question was what do you think of quote or is there a song it makes you think off but i see what you think off though interesting point
@CaringBrit i know, but it made me think of this and not a song :) yes cravings can be bad
@Whitewaterlily ah i see and you can do it i know cravings are tough but youve got this
@CaringBrit thank you 🖤
how are you feeling today
*Alot better than Monday
one thing going well
* I was able to tell my boyfriend about my self harm
one thing not going well
* my thoughts are consumed with self harm the past couple days
what do you think to the quote above is there a song it makes you think off
*Reminds me of the song by Barry manilow cant smile without you
@Chester77
glad to hear you were feeling much better to monday however do you wish to discuss monday its ok if you dont
omg thats amazing how did it go when you told him about it
aww no hugs if youd like one
i love barry manilow id have to look that one up though dont think ive heard it , why that particular song
1) I feel emotionally exhausted.
2) I managed to get up at around 8:30 this morning despite not having gotten much sleep at all and after a shower I don't even feel as tired as I thought I would.
3) I can't go swimming with my friend because I self-harmed a lot lately and she thinks I don't do that anymore. Besides, I don't want anybody to stare at me.
4) It's a little too cheesy for my taste.
@nomourners
sorry to hear your feeling emotionally exhausted why you feeling this way would you like to talk about it
aww no hugs if you like or want one
ohh cheesy how
