@SnailPurple
Today makes it 3 years since I've self harmed. It brings up a lot of memories that I would rather forget. I'm doing ok though. I like to think I'm in a stronger place now mentally.
My daughter goes to her dad's for the next 2 days. It gives me more time to think which isn't usually a good thing. I'm going to try and stay busy.
Hope you are doing well.
Hello @RedHawk6547
I am doing well, thank you <3 Congrats on making it to three years clean! That is a great milestone and I am really proud of you <3 I'm proud of you for persevering and making it to a better place :) I hope you are able to stay busy. if you need to chat with a listener about the memories, please don't hesitate to connect to one <3
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
1) How are you feeling?
Tired empty
2) What is going well for you?
I went on a walk and did some shopping with no instincts
3) What is not going well?
I am having some very nagitve thoughts all throughout the day for the last week or so
4) If you could meet any historical figure, who would you meet and why?
He isn't that historical. Bruce Lee. Because of the motivational and philosophical aspects of his life.
Hello @Flornhope
I'm sorry you are feeling tired and empty. I know what that is like, I hope the feeling passes soon <3 How have you been coping with negative thoughts? Would you like to talk about them? I'm glad you took a walk! Exercise is a great way to cope with negative feelings :) Meeting Bruce Lee would be cool!
THank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple I try and stay bizzy at least mentally and definitely dont act on any of my urges. I think I'm alright for the time being. Thank you for the offer and the encouragement.
@SnailPurple
1) How are you feeling?
I feel very sad. My girlfriend and I broke up. Although it was a good thing for the long-run, it still hurts. I also will be alone for the holidays which is depressing. Last year I was with my mom for Christmas and New Year's.
2) What is going well for you?
I have a few people who care about me.
3) What is not going well for you?
I feel very alone. I can't get my mind of the negative things and have refused to do the exercises my counselor gives me.
4) If you could meet any historical figure, who would you meet and why?
John F Kennedy
Hello @enthusiasticTangerine147
I'm sorry about your breakup <3 It's okay to feel sad about this, take as much time as you need to feel sad. Let me know if you would like me to send you the surviving breakups guide <3 Being alone for the Holidays is unfortunate, I hope you are able to socialize soon. If you don't mind me asking, why do you refuse to do the exercises your counselor gave you? I'm glad you have people who care about you! I hope you know that I am one of them <3 I think it would so cool to meet JFK :D
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
1) How are you feeling?
I'm doing ok
2) What is going well for you?
I'm playing piano again
3) What is not going well for you?
I'm just fighting not to do something stupid
4) If you could meet any historical figure, who would you meet and why?
Audrey Hepburn because she was an amazing person!
Hello @cyanBalloon7165
I'm glad you are doing okay. I think it is really cool you are playing the piano again! I also used to play, maybe I should pick it back up too :) Would you like to share what you are trying not to do? It's okay if you would rather keep it private <3 Audrey Hepburn was a really cool person :)
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
1) How are you feeling?
Tired and sad and discouraged. How long will this go on for?...
2) What is going well for you?
I am eating every day now. And I am months "clean". And I am able to get through my work, slowly. And I have friends, and supports and lots of things are going well.
3) What is not going well for you?
I just feel sad and anxious. And I try to tell myself that feelings only have a relative importance, and it shouldn't make such a difference how one feels on this day or that day to how one acts. And I try to keep doing all the stuff I am expected to do, and that is good for me to do. But it just makes living life pretty difficult and not that enjoyable from day to day. Like I do remember when living wasn't just dragging yourself through the days. And then I wonder if I'm just being dramatic and its all in my head and I need to "snap out of it". And where the switch to "snap out of it" could be. My gut tells me there is one. But I don't know if that is real or not.
The same old inclinatrions are just hovering around and they don't go away. I don't know how much longer I can go on doing this for. It is exhausting... And I keep oversharing when I am anxious, and nobody knows what to do with it. And sometimes its unprofessional tbh. And then I want to apologise. But I don't because that is just more awkwardness and anxiety. So...
4) If you could meet any historical figure, who would you meet and why?
I mean to be real probably Jesus - kind of a big deal for me. Not trying to violate forum discussion rules, just answering the question.
Hello @1morday
It sounds like you are not feeling too well mentally, I'm sorry <3 You are not being dramatic. Your feelings are completely valid and life is pretty hard right now. Unfortnently, we can't just snap ut of these feelings. We just have to be kind and patient to ourselves and allow for these feelings to pass. Life will get better, I promise. As for the oversharing, I also struggle with that. While I can't say what the cure for this is, I can say that you are not alone <3 I'm glad you are eating every day and have good friends! I'm also proud of you for staying clean and getting through your work. Meeting Jesus sounds awesome! Don't worry about the rules, you aren't forcing your religion onto anyone so you are fine :)
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
How are you feeling?
I am feeling alright although pretty tired and dissapointed
What is going well for you?
I recently started to workout again so i feel a little bit better about myself
What is not going well for you?
In the last few days i unfortunaly cutted myself after a long time of not doing it
If you could meet any historical figure, who would you meet and why?
I would like to meet Lemmy from Motorhead he was in my opinion one of the coolest dudes on earth
Hello @persistentTortoise5298
I'm glad you are doing alright. I'm sorry about your relapse <3 Remember, relapses are a part of recovery. While it is frustrating and disappointing to go back to square one, recovery is not linear. Please be patient with yourself, we are all here for you and believe in you <3 I'm glad you started working out again! I'm also glad the exercise is making you feel better about yourself :) Lemmy sounds cool!
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
1) How are you feeling?
Low. Depressed.
2) What is going well for you?
My wife loves and supports me. I'm taking walks and working out a little.
3) What is not going well for you?
I'm out of work, Maybe permanantly.
4) If you could meet any historical figure, who would you meet and why?
Epictetus the Stoic philosopher. Because he is a great teacher and motivator. He reminds me to focus on what I can change and leave the rest alone.
Hello @thaliomiles
I'm sorry you are feeling depressed. I've been feeling that way too, lately. While it might seem like you will never find another job, I highly doubt that is true. I'm sure you will be able to find a job eventually <3 It sounds like your wife is really kind, I'm glad she is in your life <3 I'm proud of you for starting to work out! Exercise can be hard, especially when you feel depressed. Epictetus sounds like a smart man, I think I would also like to meet him.
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!

Hello @AlwaysForYou197
