Skylar MacTavish
Don't ask me the reason. Its weirder than Einstein's theory of Relativity . 
@LoveYaGOD
Heya, Love! I
@rebecca947 Hey How are you?
I'm, not sure. I thought I was just feeling quiet, but it occured to me last night, that, it's empty. I just feel empty. There's always something simmering under the surface. I'm at a loss as to what this means.
I need to finish digging out from the snow. It's a balmy -14 outside. Started a book case, cherry wood, beautiful.
Have a good day, take care!
@mytwistedsoul
Heya, Soul! It
@rebecca947 Hey how are you?
Yeah, there is usually something, usually anger, that's just there. But I don't know the last couple days there just isn't anything. It may be that everything shut down. A system overload. I don't know. Although anxiety kicked in yesterday, I want to call that therapist but I'm nervous. Worried about calling, worried about actually going, worried about talking to him. Worried that I'll go and he'll decide I need something safer. I've been in the psych ward before. Not something I want to do again. Definately nervous....
I'm not real sure how to post pics on here. I can get stuff off the internet to post on my feed but I'm not sure how exactly to go about anything else. I'd like to if for no other reason then to show you Kodie and Taz. I'll have to see if I can figure it out.
Take care!
@mytwistedsoul
the worry can definitely be there and make us feel paralysed by fear and nerves for a bit. Its really understandable, and especially after having that bad experience with the first health professional, and also with your past experience of being put into a psych ward. For some people, they feel more comfortable asking asking the health professional how theyd determine if you need a higher level of care, and if theyd talk to you about it prior to making that call. How does that sound to you?
And you can use imgur.com to upload personal photos and post the link to it on here! You can also use imgbb I think, if that helps :) xx
@rebecca947 Thank you, I never gave it a thought that I could ask them what the procedure is. Very good idea! Thanks again!
Heya @rebecca947 !!
I'm not the best, but I'm not overly upset.I stayed up all night to finish an assignent and so my negativity stems from being tired. Other than that I'm doing alright. Today marks my one week clean from self harm and almost a week without coffee, so that's nice.
My goals for this week include continuing to not drink coffee. I'm drinking tea instead. This is a bit of a sidetrack, but I've been into honey-lemon tea lately, it's good for my voice since I've just gotten over a cold. I'm also hoping to stay another week clean from self-harm. I don't expect to succeed but I will try. I also want to get at least 6 hours of sleep a night every night this week. I've gotten less than 5 every night last week and it's starting to take a toll on me.
If I could rename myself, I would change back to my Chinese name, Li Zan. It means "Beautiful Praise". Even though I live in Canada, I was born in China and adopted into a Canadian family whe I was a baby. They gave me an English name but decided to keep my Chinese name as my middle name.
Oof, that was a lot. I think I should stop typing this and focus on my class (I'm in the middle of my Folklore Class and the material is really dry haha). Take care!!
@CentreMid
Heya, Mid! *hugs* if youd like them! It makes sense that when were tired and sleep-deprived, we wont be feeling our happiest! I hope youre feeling better now and that youve had a good rest. Well done on finishing the assignment too :) congrats on being one week clean from TWO things! Those are extraordinary efforts- Im so proud of you!
Ooh, Ive never had honey lemon tea :o Ive only had honey lemon water and its nice for when your throat is sore. Unless we call the same thing tea or water haha sounds like that might be the case! Half the battle is believing we CAN do it. Once we believe that we can succeed, thats half the goal already achieved. Keep believing in yourself- youve got this!
Ooh, is Li Zan pronounced in Mandarin or Cantonese? :o also out of curiosity, can you speak either language? I absolutely love what your Chinese name means though!
Tsk tsk, going on cups instead of class! Haha hope the class was alright. Take care of yourself xx
Hey @rebecca947
I'm very sorry for the late response. I doubt you'll see this but that's alright
I'm not actually sure about my Chinese name, but I'm from Southern China so Li Zan is most likely Cantonese.
As for honey lemon tea/water, the stuff I'm thinking of is like regular tea but with a oney-lemon flavour, like a herbal tea or somthing like that.
Anyways, I suppose I do today's check-in (saturday). It was nice talking to you again !! Take Care!!
@CentreMid
ooh! I
1) How are you today? Is there anything you'd like to share with us?
really not the best. i have a feeling me and my partner are going to break up due to our recent fight. my dad is constantly putting me down and making me feel worse about myself and i've just in general not been the best.
2) What are your goals for this week?
not harm myself and get out of the house. i haven't been out for a week and a bit.
3) If you could rename yourself, what name would you pick?
i've always loved the name billie. i remember a while ago i was talking to my mum about what she would've named me if i was a boy and she said it would've been baillie and i've always loved that name too or either billie or baillie
@allnaturalBerry
Heya, Natural! *hugs* thats so much to deal with, and kudos to you for continuing to fight and make it through the days. Its really nice nice to feel were being belittled and having someone lower our self-esteem/self-worth. That on top of a fight and now the worry of breaking up- its a lot to deal with. How have you been handling it all? Whats been helping you/what have you been doing for self-care? At times like these, self-care can be so immensely important for us.
How have the goals been going for you so far? ❤️
Ooh, such nice names! Baillie is such a cool spelling of it- so original!
Take care xx
@TheLonleyArtist @LoveYaGod @mytwistedsoul @CentreMid @allnaturalberry
