1) I'm doing okay-ish. Still in turmoil over some things, and I'm still torn between figuring them out, letting them just simmer, or running from them. On the plus side, I got a few laughs earlier by texting one of my housemates "Bless you" instead of actually calling it out when I heard him sneeze.
2) I'd like to change all my conflicting feelings and be able to be more decisive, especially when it comes to the issues of addressing my emotions healthily and not feeling powerless. If I have nothing to lose, does that make me powerless or powerful, if not paradoxically both at the same time?
3) Not necessarily. Sometimes our own perceptions of ourselves are distorted, because we can be our harshest critics, or some people can think too much of themselves. It's really tricky to come up with a "one-size-fits-all" kind of answer for this.
Thank you for the check-in; I appreciate you. ♥️
@TheAutumnWitch
Hey there !
Hum I get that taking a decision on what to do can be hard some days. I'm no expert at this but maybe the solution is what is the most beneficial to you ? I hope you don't dwell on this too long, I'm sure you'll find some sort of solution ! Haha that does sound funny, it's nice to hear that you can make the most of the small things :)
Being decisive about managing your emotions sounds complex as you've mentioned. I don't know if we're entirely powerless when dealing with emotions, I'm sure that's some ressources in you to help you along the way though maybe they're hidden at the moment ? As for having nothing to lose, you might be right, maybe it's a bit of both. Sure it can make you feel powerless though if you do decide to take action you're powerful. Though you can also be powerful with something to lose.
It is tricky to find a one size fits all answer to this, though I do agree our perceptions of ourselves can be distorted in a 'good' or 'bad' way. Though is it really possible to have a 100% realistic perception of ourselves ?
Thanks for checking in, I enjoyed reading your answers, take care <3

1) How are you doing today ? Would you like to share something about your day with us ?
today's been okay, i got a lot of homework done and i did some laundry.
2) If you could change your thought process, what would you like to change ?
i would hope to be free from my addictions.
3) Do you think that the way we think about ourselves makes us who we are ?
no, we are not our negative thoughts or emotions.. at least i think.
@TheMeadowSystem
Hi :)
Congrats on getting the homework and laundry done, good job there ! Sounds like it was a busy day !
Being able to put some distance between you and your addictions does sound very freeing. Is it something you're working on at the moment ?
Hum I do agree, we're aren't all that our mind says we are. Are negative thoughts something that you deal with often ?
Thanks for checking in, take care <3
@Slizzy564 hi thank you! yeah i have been trying to put some space between me and my addictions but it's hard. i definitely deal with negative thoughts a lot
@Slizzy564, hey there!
1) How are you doing today ? Would you like to share something about your day with us ?
Great.
2) If you could change your thought process, what would you like to change ?
I would love to convert my negative thoughts into a good one.
3) Do you think that the way we think about ourselves makes us who we are ?
It's a yes for me. Someone optimistic would probably think about the bright side in a situation. The thoughts and values that we think about ourselves helps in building our character.
@SnippyHam
Hey there !
It's nice to hear that you're doing good ! Is there anything that caused this good mood ?
That sounds cool indeed ! I guess we all wish that we could have more control over negative thoughts.
Hum as you say, someone with an optimistic mindset might have a different way of going about situations than other people, so yes maybe in a way, we do make ourselves with our thoughts and values.
Thanks for checking in, take care <3
@Slizzy564
I am not sure what made me happy that day. It could be something related to entertainment or something mundane.
1) How are you doing today ? Would you like to share something about your day with us ?
I am not good. I think I have a high sugar rate in my blood and I am so tired od going to the bathroom too much, I finished a novel called Le assaggiatrici by Rosella Postorino. It talked about a woman who was among a group of women who were forced to taste Hitler's meals to make sure his meals were not poisoned. The heroine in that novel felt that she couldn't feel the taste of the food and can't enjoy it, I think she felt that she was forced in everything she did at this time even with her secret lover because he forced her to be with him as he was a Nazy officer. she felt ashamed and afraid till the last days of her life when she decided to talk about this hard experience. After finishing the novel I remembered a time in my life that I did a lot of things I didn't like because I was sure I am a bad person and don't deserve to be with good people. I am now like the heroine of the novel alone and can't forgive myself.
2) If you could change your thought process, what would you like to change ?
I don't know.
3) Do you think that the way we think about ourselves makes us who we are ?
I think so.
