@Hyacinth22
functioning* Did I mention that I absolutely loathe typos?
Hello @Hyacinth22
It sounds like you aren't sure how you are feeling. It also sounds like your thoughts are all over the place too. I hope you feel better soon <3 If you need to chat with a listener about what is going on, feel free to connect with one <3 I'm glad your respiratory system is functioning well today! Mine finally is too, I hope we stay this way :D Koals and sloths are adorable <3
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
Today I am feeling hopeful:)
Going well today would be my health . I feel really well physically today.
Not going well would be my anxiety. I am a little on edge today.
If I could be any animal, it'd be an otter 🥰🦦
@Itisbailey
@Austin904
Hello @Itisbailey
I'm glad you are feeling hopeful! I'm also glad your health is going well :) I'm sorry you are feeling a little anxious. Would you like to share what is on your mind? Otters are so cute <3
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
It is just not being able to go out and have a "normal" routine right now. I know lots of others are struggling with this too. Thank you for replying!!
@SnailPurple
Hey Snail <3 hahaha I just saw that image today on google and was about to save it for future use. I wish I had a switch though!!
1) How are you feeling today?
I'm feeling okay today, not great not not bad. Feeling really motivated to get stuff done today but also sorta feeling really tired and stressed!
2) What is one thing going well for you?
I've had a relatively good week and I'm getting back more into reading which is really good!
3) What is one thing not going well?
I sort of got into a weird conversation with my ex-crush about activism and it sorta sucked but I guess it's over now and I don't care?
4) If you could be any animal in the world, what animal would you choose to be?
I would be a duck because I love ducks and they go wac wac :)
Hello @TheAtticusFinch
I'm glad you are feeling okay :) I can relate, I feel both motivated and stressed today as well. I'm glad you are getting into reading, I need to do that as well haha. Are you reading anything right now? It sounds like the conversation between you and your former crush didn't go too well. At least it is over now :) I love ducks too! Some live in my neighborhood and they are so cute <3
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
1) How are you feeling today?
Better today!
2) What is one thing going well for you?
Life.
3) What is one thing not going well?
My stupid phone is acting up.
4) If you could be any animal in the world, what animal would you choose to be?
A dog I think they're so precious and cute!
Hello @itidc
I'm glad you are doing better today! It sounds like everything except your phone is going well for you :D I hope your phone foxes itself soon though! I love dogs too <3
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
Hey thank you I hope you had a wondeful day! I love all animals it was hard to choose but dogs are just so special to me! 
@SnailPurple
1) How are you feeling today?
Kind of up and down. I just had a difficult conversation. I said what I had to say, but I know it will cause great struggles for someone else. And I kind of want to blame myself, and take it out on myself but I know that would be to act irrationally. I just have to fight that inclination, cos otherwise it leads me to a bad place. I kind of hate conflict, and I hate it when other people suffer. Even when it is necessary suffering, that is needed for growth. Its just my gut.
2) What is one thing going well for you?
I am leaving on vacation tomorrow.
3) What is one thing not going well?
Just staying on top of my emotional regulation. I am trying, but little things can throw me off. Again, my resilience isn't what I would like it one day to be. I try to be measured and not catastrophize :)
4) If you could be any animal in the world, what animal would you choose to be?
My strong instinctive reaction is against wanting to be any animal. That would basically be an annihilation of the personality... That's probably too literal, and maybe too dogmatic for a forum like this.
Um... I like kitties? :)
Hello @1morday
It sounds like you feel conflicted yet confident about the conversation. I'm proud of you for pushing through it <3 If you need to chat about what happened, feel free to connect with a listener. Trying to stay on top of your emotional regulation can be hard, but it can be done. Kudos to you for trying your best :) I agree, trying not to be catastrophic is very important. 7 Cups has a free self-help guide on managing emotions. Would you like me to send it to you? Have fun on your vacation! I hope you are able to stay safe and relax <3 I love kittens to :)
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
Dear Snail,
Thanks - the guide would be good :)
