1) How are you? Is there anything you'd like to share?
2) Did you have any pets as a child or any now? Send a picture using imgur or imbcc! Or show us a drawing or picture of a pet you would have liked or would like in the future :)
3) What are your plans for Friday-Sunday?
Feel free to answer the questions from the start, too! Are you getting busy again? How are all aspects of life going for you?

Heya @rebecca947 ! How are you?
I have a cold. It's not fun. I've been taking tablets constantly since tuesday to stop coughing but they make me drowsy and I feel very tired and a little loopy.
I currently have a cat named Monty. He's a bit of a doofus but I still love him. I don't have any pictures of him on my laptop, but he's a tortoise-shell breed and very fluffy :)
My plans for the weekend consist of work, homework and lots of lots of piano practice. I have a new instructor and he's not very nice, which is a shame because he's a fantastic musician.
I was considering quitting soccer recently, but one of my teammates reassured me that the rest of the team wants me there, but I still have some doubts. Of course I love my team, and they really have been nothing but good to me, however, sometimes they leave me out of things and it kinda hurts my feelings. I know they don't mean to exclude me, but sometimes I wish they wouldn't forget about me. The teammate I was talking to asked if there was anything if the team could do anything to help me feel better but I sadi no because I don't want to sound whiny, but this has been going on for some time and I'm sort of sick of it. I'm glad that my teammate was wiling to help though. I'm wondering if I should tell her what's wrong? Again, I don't want to sound whiny. Maybe there's a way to word i without it sounding like I'm complaining (?)
Oof, I should really stop doing these check-ins during class, I need to go haha. Take care
@CentreMid
Hey there ! Sorry for the delayed answer !
Im sorry to hear you have a cold, I hope it got better though, and if not, I hope you get well soon x
Monty seems super cute! I dont know much about cats so I just googled the tortoise shell breed and the colours look amazing!
Thats a really busy weekend, lots of luck for all this! Also, I hope you can get to know more your new instructor, sometimes at first people seem not really nice but when we get to spend more time with them it goes better, so I hope its what will happen!
About your team, I think its a great thing that one of your teammates was there to reassure you and its a very okay thing to do to express how youre feeling and that youd like to feel more included. Maybe you can think of it as a way to improve things instead of complaining, if that helps you feel better about saying it? But really, dont hesitate, especially when there is a teammate offering help, because together you could find a way to fix this and have you feel more included, especially since theyre not doing it on purpose!
Take care! And thanks for checking in and letting things out, I hope it helped x
1. Relapsed just now
2. Two cats, one is in my thumbnail
3. Sleeping because homework isn't worth the effort.
@Lexloveslife
Heya Lex, I
@LinearWaves
Hi thank you for the support, I appreciate it.
Yes I think that's a good idea. Should we brainstorm here so others who are having this problem can see coping ideas? Or take it to PM's?
My second cat is a tuxedo cat, so he looks quite different but they're from the same litter :)
You're more than welcome @Lexloveslife
It's as you prefer, whatever you feel most comfortable with! But either way, if you ever feel the need you can always send me a message, I can't promise I'll answer right away but I will get back to you as soon as I can!
As for brainstorming, a first good thing to do can be to try and identify the way you're feeling when you relapse, for example is there a specific feeling that just seems harder to fight and makes you relapse?
@rebecca947
I am doing ok. I had to write a poem for my english class and I chose to write about my depression. I'm worried about how my teacher will react to it and also if I did a good job on it. I had a cat when I was three and I have a couple snails now (I can't send a photo though). Friday I am just going to relax. On Saturday I have a debate event and then I'm spending the weekend doing homework. I am getting a little busy I will be ok. i am going to take time this weekend to reorganize.
@PurpleSnail
Heya Purple!
I hope your teacher will react well to that poem, especially since it
