@Hydrangea03
Hey there !
I'm sorry to hear that things aren't going too well at the moment. I hope the panic attacks aren't too tiring ! Hang in there, things will get better at some point. Sending positive calming thoughts your way !
Take care <3
@Hydrangea03
I hope you feel better sending positive vibes your way! 
@Hydrangea03
Heya ! Im really sorry to hear youre feeling a little awful right now, I hope your day improved as it went by… Unexpected depressive episodes and panics attacks definitely sound challenging, especially when not having resources on how to cope with them, Im really sorry to hear youre dealing with them…
There is a guide here on panic attacks that could provide you with understanding and resources on panic attacks (you can also find one for depression if the panic attacks one proves useful!). I dont know if thats possible in your situation but if at any point you feel the need to reach out to professional help to handle all this better, dont hesitate! Stay strong, were here for you and sending good thoughts in your way <3
Im ashamed that I actually had to google what guava is lol I think I never tasted that fruit!
Thanks for checking in, take good care of yourself!
Thank you for being so thoughtful and for the guide!! ^^
Aww, guavas are tropical fruits so it might be a little difficult to find them in non-tropical countries xD But if you could find them, I
@Hydrangea03

4) What
@admaiorasemper
Hey !
Yay ! Let's celebrate a good day then :) I'm gald to hear that therapy has been helping you :)
Finding a balance in everyday activities can be challenging. It's good to take a break between study periods, going outside for a walk sounds nice.
Sometimes simple things are the best, water is a very good choice :)
Take care <3
@Slizzy564 thank you for your words 
I wish you a nice rest of the week full of tea (I read your post below)
ps. That's scary that the ceiling collapsed in your previous office!
@admaiorasemper
Yayy for feeling okay today, i hope that lasts ! Its good to hear that you got a good start of your week thanks to therapy, I definitely hope that continue, thanks to going out for walks (always good!) and figuring out the right balance for yourself between everything you have going on. Good luck with studying!
Water is the best! Drinking some when Im thirsty sometimes reminds me of the luck we have to have easy access to it, these little things we sometimes forget to be grateful for!
Take care Valeria, thanks for checking in and letting us know how youre doing!
@admaiorasemper
Therapy and being outdoors are the best! I hope you can get outside and take a study break.
Thank you @LinearWaves and @BraveAdventurer :)

@reliableMaple8519
I hope you feel better, sending positive vibes your way!
@reliableMaple8519
Hey there ! Im really sorry to hear youre feeling awful and that your week is going really bad so far… I hope things can get better and that seeing friends can help you feel better and bring some distraction!
Yay for water!

@reliableMaple8519
Sorry your week is so rough. We are here to listen if you need to chat. and I hope you get to see your friends.
@LinearWaves
1) How are you feeling? Good ! Sun is shining so I'm happy :)
2) How is your week going so far? So far so good ! Monday wasn't great but yesterday and today were good days at work so that helps :) Today I went back to my usual office (I hadn't been there for 3 months) and discovered that the ceiling had collapsed ... So I won't be using it for a moment !
3) What can you change/add to make your week better? Hum I need to go food shopping but it's too hot outside I can't be bothered to go. And I might be seeing my friend from work this weekend :)
4) Whats your favourite beverage? Hum I do like tea a lot. Any sort of tea really as long as it's not mint or apple flavored. Hot tea or iced tea, both do the trick :)
Take care <3
@Slizzy564
Hey Slizzy ! Days when the sun is shining are definitely always brighter !
Its great to hear that your week has been improving, although that ceiling thing is quite scary, how did that happen? :o Can you ask for a bonus because youre doing dangerous work? Lol
These sound like nice plan, postponing shopping for when the heat is more manageable and catching up with your friend!
Tea is so good! I love when I find a new favourite blend (although it gets hard to decide which tea to drink then)
Take care, thanks for checking in!
@LinearWaves
Everybody seems to be happier don't you think ?
Haha apparently a couple of weeks ago it rained a lot and the water got into the walls so that was the end of my ceiling lol But yeah I should totally ask for that bonus ;)
Oh trust me I'm the same with tea, I can never choose !! ;)
@Slizzy564
Until it gets too hot!
@Slizzy564
Glad your day and work is good. Sorry about your office ceiling though. That's crazy. love your positivity and how you encourage people on here. You're such a vibrant bright soul.
@BraveAdventurer
Thanks <3
@LinearWaves
1) How are you feeling?
Good I slept on and off all day today but ended up sleeping like 9 hours all together lol.
2) How is your week going so far?
Honestly, super good I decided to heck with family drama I'm tired of it running my life. It's finally time for me to be happy with or without people and I'm okay with that.
3) What can you change/add to make your week better?
More time being up in the day so I can do more stuff!
4) Whats your favourite beverage?
WATER!!!!! I drink a gallon a day I'm so obssessed with water! It just tastes so good!!!
I'm super excited for this weekend I'm getting new shoes and going to the zoo with my husband!!
I hope everyone has a wonderful week and weekend. You all are amazing and deserve the best, take care lovelies.
@itidc
Hey there ! Its good to hear you got a good sleep, even if i twas on and off all day, sometimes we do what we can to catch up on sleep !
That sounds like a very good decision to step away from family drama, family might be family but at some point we have to think about ourselves and our happiness first, and drama definitely doesnt help anyone. It sounds like a very wise choice that you made!
Yay for water and good hydration! Its so important, especially as summer is coming!
These sound like super plans! I hope you have lots of fun at the zoo spending quality time with your husband!
Thanks for this reminder, same goes for you <3 Thanks for checking in and sharing your lovely plans, take care and enjoy!
@LinearWaves
Hi! I actually didn't oversleep for once so I'm super happy!
I think it's the best decision I've made, I love them so much but it's been 2 years of being unhappy about it's time to move on.
Thank you so much I'm super excited!!!
Thank you and you take care as well!
@itidc
Yay for no oversleeping! Well done!
I hope that with time the drama can fade so you can have better relationships with them, and only keep the good side!
Take care!
@LinearWaves
@LinearWaves
Honestly the dramas been going on 2 1/2 years but has only been adressed for about a year and a half. At thos point I'm ready to move on and I'm finally okay with it, our relationship will never be the same so why fake it. I'm literally the black sheep of my family my other family members realized once I moved away from the USA they were a happy family. It's like they have the perfect family now that my mom and stepdad is their with my 3 half sister, the other family member said "they're one big happy family now that it's just your mom dad and all of your dad's bio kids there." Honetly I agree. But the feud is literally aout me not being as close with my mom bc she made it hard and I found a best friend and she got jealous.
@itidc
Hey !
It's good to hear that you managed to get some rest :) I wish I could catch up on my sleep through the day like you !
I'm sorry to hear about the family drama. It can be quite hard to know when to step in and help and when to take time for oneself. I hope things work out and that you can be happier :) If you're in peace with your decision, that's a very good place to start !
There just isn't enough hours in a day is there ? Sometimes I wonder about all the things that we could do if we could slow down time ;)
Water is a solid choice ;)
Ooooh new shoes ! What are you going to get ? Going to the zoo sounds great, I'm super envious of you ! Make sure to send all my love to the animals :) Have fun !!
Take care <3
@Slizzy564
Hi!
I hope you can get some good rest soon!
It's okay I really am, I let it get to me for too long and I'm tired of being sad over it.
Something to help with me walking on the inside of my feet they're starting to deform from it. It's because I've been wearing converse that aren't wide enough for my feet and forced me to walk on the insides even more lol. I wish you can go super soon!!
Thank you so much! You take care as well!!
@itidc
Zoo and new shoes!!! Sounds so amazing!!!
i love your check ins. You are such a ray of light!
@BraveAdventurer
Awwww thank you so much!!!
1) How are you feeling?
I just had a surgery this morning, so feeling kind of tired and uncomfortable. But happy. The Doctors say I can't do work-out this afternoon though.
2) How is your week going so far?
Its been ok. I am having to be patient with how long it takes to do detailed work. I guess that''s just how it is. I always want everything to get done faster.
3) What can you change/add to make your week better?
Just really hold myself to one or two new habits that I am trying to build, as far as spiritual self-care. I have been trying but it hasn't got the consistency I would like yet. Process not perfection!
4) Whats your favourite beverage?
Coffee! I mean I do try to be good and drink a lot of water, but...
@1morday
Hey there !
I hope you can recover soon from your surgery so you can get back quickly (not too quickly though !) to your usual stuff, stay safe in the meantime!
Detailed work can sure get frustrating at times, things take time to get done but sometimes its also for the best if it means theyre done in a well-detailed way!
Building new habits is a tough work, it takes time and efforts to really implement them, I believe in you and I hope you can find the right balance between pushing yourself to try but also not getting frustrated by the fact the consistency is not completely there yet. Youll get there!
Well theres water in coffee so that has to count :p
Tae care, thanks for checking in and good luck with the work!
@1morday
I hope you are able to recover quickly from your surgery. Ouch.
I love your dedication to starting new habits!'
and yes!!! All the coffee
@LinearWaves
1) How are you feeling?
Much better than last night!
2) How is your week going so far?
ok I guess. It's a weird rough week
3) What can you change/add to make your week better?
Not giving you on myself as I face some hard stuff. Better sleep patterns
4) Whats your favourite beverage?
All you people with your water. I want bubble tea!!!!! I do drink water ( 1 liter a day), but it's not my favourite
@BraveAdventurer
Hey there! It's so good to hear that you're feeling better than last night, I really hope that can keep improving!
Not giving up on yourself sounds like the best option ever, you're definitely worth the efforts and I get that sometimes it gets extra rough and giving up is tempting but as they say "learn to rest, not to quit" and "you didn't come this far to only come this far" these are really the 2 mantras that keep me going during tough times, so I can go on autopilot until things get less overwhelming. That being said, I hope things go more smoothly and you don't need these mantras.
I definitely will have to try bubble tea one of these days!
Thanks for sharing, take care!
1) at this moment I am good (not enough) but I'm in my bed about to sleep
2) not that well because I get worried about everything too much and that makes me feel really bad
3) sleep better I guess and trying to get up earlier
4) Orange juice is my favourite.
@Gagaintheroom
Hey there! I hope you were able to get some good sleep so as to start off the day on the right foot!
I'm sorry to hear the week is not going great due to worrying too much about things... Anxiety can definitely make us feel quite bad. Do you sometimes try to work on your thoughts so as to try and recognise when worrying is okay and when it gets too much? Or try to distract yourself when the worry is too intense?
Sleep can definitely be of help, for pretty much everything actually, I find that I worry much more when lacking sleep...
Yay for orange juice, full of needed vitamin C!
Thanks for checking in, take care!
