@redmark Hey How are you?

I've been fighting some serious anxiety today. That shaky hands - vibrating. Been kind of keeping to myself today.

Today is 40 days. No SH. I can't deny the thoughts are there. The anxiety makes the urges worse. I get frustrated and mad at myself. I'm tired of being this way. I'm tired of being anxious 90% of the time. I'm tired of being afraid of people. I'm tired of being tired. I still can't sleep longer than a couple of hours. Some nights not at all. Wow - listen to me whine.

I've had some time in the shop - not as much as I'd like because some days the temptation is strong. I've been in the woods a few times. The deer started to bring their young out. It's nice to watch them play.

I hope you have a great two weeks off. Take care

I, The Dreamer - Old Souls Catch Your Breath - Yesterday

Hey there @mytwistedsoul *offering safe hugs* (just in case, no pressure)

It is always really nice to have you here with us! heart

Anxiety sure is tough...

I mean, I know that some days it can be especially hard. I do have some days as well when I just cannot get rid of that weird feeling in my stomach those constant feeling of like impending doom - just something bad about to happen. Thinking of every word I have said everything I have done. With that said tho, you are such an amazing person.

You know, you have been through a lot - you are still going through a lot - but you are still here with us, sharing things with us, being 40 days free of SH - which is awesome, I am really proud of you - and even just being there for others and supposrting them. I do know that you may not feel like that but you are such a strong, brave and just amazing individual and I surely am glad to know you and got to meet you every once in a while here :)

I am glad to hear that you are able to go out more to the fresh air, to the woods lately. Also, it just sounds super adorable and cute to just watch those young deers playing ^-^

Also, I do really like these songs. I think I might have heard the first one before - but might be mistaking it for something else. Either way, I do really like this style and how much emotions can really be told through music like this :)

Stay awesome! heart

⭐ How are you feeling today? :)

Kinda stressed from workload, lot of close deadlines and not much time. :/

⭐ How has this week been for you? Do you have anything you would like to share about it? :)

Pretty uneventful Id have to say considering my schedule being filled up.


⭐ Have you got to practice any self-care lately? Do you maybe have anything planned? :)

Ive actually got plans to hangout with my bf this week :> might seem small but its really helpful from being in my house all week.

Hey there @chillingwave01 *hugs* (if you are okay with it)

It is really nice to have you here with us! heart

A busy schedule can sure be really tough. I do believe in you tho, I know that you can get all those things done in time! Of course, do not forget to take some breaks or just have some time for something to just help you recharge and getting enough sleep - you are more important than any deadlines! :)

Meeting your boyfriend, or just someone you love, is probably the best way to recharge honestly. I don't know, there is just something in being around someone who you love and who loves you which is just making it such an awesome way to help you recharge. I am glad to hear that you will have some time to spend with your boyfriend! ^-^

Stay awesome! heart

@redmark Hey - I know you said you're around all this week but I still feel bad for bothering you when you have time off.

I'm fighting some serious urges today. I kind of feel like I need to punish myself for a few things. Things that I know logically I have no control over. But the other side of that says that it's all my fault. Idk - guess that sounds pretty stupid.

Hey there @mytwistedsoul *offering safe hugs* (no pressure, just in case)

It does not sound stupid at all. I mean, I think it is just anxiety. I do have these sort of thoughts as well that "I should have totally done something there and thenprobably things would have been different". One thing to watch out tho is to not use the world "should" - it is really not useful. It takes some time to master but it is helpful to just catch these thoughts as often as you can and ask yourself what you could have done - rather than using "should".

I mean, I think it is already a really good step that you do recognize these thoughts as being illogical and I am glad that you have reached out to us. I mean, I just want you to know that I can understand that this can be really tough at times but you are definitely not alone in this and together we can get through this. :)

I believe in you!

Stay strong anda awesome! heart

@redmark

How are you feeling today? :)

I have a migraine building, have had a rough couple of months and just as things felt like they were improving, I sabbotage myself. Fighting myself, trying to be kind instead of berating myself.

How has this week been for you? Do you have anything you would like to share about it? :)

Busier than usual week, really felt on top of everything, then I crashed...hard

Have you got to practice any self-care lately? Do you maybe have anything planned? :)

Made time to catch up with my old boss, wonder sometimes if we are actually friends, instead of old work acquintances. Spent time volunteering for a charity and am trying to make time to go for a walk with a new friend.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.

Hey there @W4nderingsoul *hugs* (if you are okay with it)

It is really nice to hear from you around here! heart

Oww, migraines are just the worst, I am sorry to hear that you are feeling like that. I do hope that it will get better and go away soon! :)

You know, recovery is sadly not just a straight line usually, all those little twists and turns are part of it but it doesn't mean that you are not doing a really good job. I mean jus take things one step at a times, especially busier times like this and you can get through this, I believe in you! :)

Also, if here is anything we may be able to help you with anything wea are always here for you, together we can definitely do this :)

For a start it sounds really nice to just spend time with people you do know and love and just to go out a little bit. I do hope that you will have a nice time with that friend of yours :)

Stay awesome! heart
