I'm feeling pretty relaxed today. Since yesterday my medication dose during the day has been higher, making it hard to feel any decisive emotions, kinda landing in the middle.
In the middle of last week I slipped away in the depression, which made me panic and then really angry. So that really sucked
I like cycling daily for at least an hour, cause this kinda gives me the time to feel my emotions and also let them unravel enough, most of the time
Hey there @Madaraismyspiritanimal *hugs* (if you are okay with it)
It is always really nice to have you here with us!
I am glad to hear that you are feeling relaxed. It might take a bit of time for your doctors to find the right dosage of the meds you take but I am glad to hear that it is helping you currently. :)
Especially after such tough times you have been through the past few weeks I can imagine that it can be nice to just be able to relax a little bit and recharge now.
Cycling sounds really nice. Any exercise can have such a great effect on mental health as well and it is definitely just such a good way to just release your emotions and - quite literally - work them out of your system :)
Stay awesome!
@redmark
How are you feeling today? :)
Hey i feel so anxious and rough today ... not a good day
How has this week been for you? Do you have anything you would like to share about it? :)
this week was pretty bad full of anxiety and nothing else
What is your favourite self-care activity? Have you got to practice it lately? :)
i like zumba and reading books but didnt practice lately was so stuck in anxiety
Hey there @conscientiousOwl7693 *hugs* (if you are okay with it)
We are really glad to have you here with us!
Oww...anxiety sure is tough. I am sorry to hear that you have been stuck in that anxious state of mind, it can definitely be really draining.
I do want you to know that you are not alone in this here tho. I mean, I know it is tough but if there is anything we may be able to help you with or if you would just like to vent we are always here for you. Together we can get through this, I believe in you! :)
Practicing self-care can be definitely hard when you are feeling anxious like that but I do hope that you will be able to read some or just do some zumba soon as those sound really nice :)
Stay awesome!
@redmark
hugs back !!
thank you soo much 7 cups surely a blessing when it comes to Anxiety (:
@redmark
How are you feeling today? :)
I'm ok, I guess. I'm really stressed out by #NANOWRIMO, but I haven't selfharmed yet, other than barely eating ofc (can't stop the ED). I'm also on my f*ing period and everything hurts. But somehow I manage to work out once a day anyway, which is less than normal, but better than nothing.
How has this week been for you? Do you have anything you would like to share about it? :)
Week has been ok. I had a down-feeling the other day, not really knowing why I felt so depressed, but I did. It was gone by friday though, luckily. I just had one day where I laid in my bed sleeping until noon and doing nothing. I guess I needed that somehow. After all it's becomming winther and with winther comes my winther depression, normally. Hopefully not with full force this year, as I have to work out and loose weight, but it will be coming.
I am also in the process of moving into my own appartment (gotta find one first though), and I can feel it stressing me out. I have a talk with my caseworker next week about the appartment, so I guess it will work out somehow. I'm just really scared that moving out for myself will make my ED even worse. Well, I can't live with my parents 'till I die, so I guess I need to try it out.
It's my grandma's birthday this sunday (technically 11/11, but we are celebrating her birthday on sunday), so I can be looking forward to that, I guess. I love my granny, it's not that, but I find that I would somehow rather just write on my novel and isolate myself again.
What is your favourite self-care activity? Have you got to practice it lately? :)
Bubblebath, but can't really do that, when I'm on my periode *facepalm*
Hey there @EvilRegalsReadToo *hugs* (if you are okay with it)
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
Oww, I am really sorry to hear that it is that time of the month. I know that it can be really tough around those days so please do not be too hard on yourself and just try to take as good care of yourself as you can. Also...uhm...I am not sure what #NANOWRIMO is but I am sorry to hear that it is stressing you out so much as well.
Winter sure is tough. I think it is really hard to stay positive and fend off depression when everything is just so cold and the skies are just so grey and, also, it just gets so dark so early but, on the other hand, I just absolutely love the pretty lights around Christmas time and all the hot tea and chocolate I can grab. I mean, sorry, I suppose, the point is that winter sure is tough but I think it is important to try to look for the good things in it to try to just keep that depression at bay. Whatever may be something that you do enjoy, just reading a good book maybe and staying in, in the warmth of your own home. :)
Do you have some things about winter - or like seasonal things around this time - that you do enjoy? :)
Moving out is such a big step for sure. Also, a really scary one. I understand that it is stressing you out and it sure is a big change with a lot of new things to figure out once you will get there. Not living with your parents tho doesn't mean that you will be completely alone tho. If that helps you could stay even in daily contact with your parents and, who knows, if you are comfortable with it maybe you can just ask them to ask small questions like what have you been eating for lunch today or something. Or, whatever works best for you, it is just an idea, you know yourself the best. :)
Oh, happy birthday to your grandmother! ^-^
I can understand that feeling of wanting to isolate yourself but I think it is really important to go out still sometimes. Depression can really thrive when you are on your own, alone, so time spent with your loved ones is definitely a good way to help with that. Also, it just sounds fun to celebrate a birthday like that. I hope at least that you will enjoy it. :)
Also, I hope that you will be able to take a bubble bath soon - and just in general that you will feel better soon :)
Stay awesome!
@redmark
How are you feeling today? :) I feel good. I was able to sleep in this morning and I don't have much homework.
How has this week been for you? Do you have anything you would like to share about it? :) This week was rough. I failed a chemistry test and now have a C in the class.
What is your favourite self-care activity? Have you got to practice it lately? :) I like to lay in bed and watch YouTube. I'm going to do that in a few minutes :)
Hey there @PurpleSnail *hugs* (if you are okay with it)
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
I am really glad to hear that you are having a good day. Sleeping in sounds really nice for sure! :)
I am sorry to hear about that chemistry test tho. I am sure you have tried your best tho and that you will turn that C around - or, who knows, some teachers allow to re-take tests sometimes as well. :)
Either way tho, I am glad to hear that you are now having some time for yourself and to just watch some youtube :)
Stay awesome!
Is this thread, a sort of reminder for the especially special people to remember not to look up while its raining with their mouths open ?
Also remember have some dignity.. Dont use gilette. For shaving i mean.. Does anyone here even use razorblades to actually shave ?
Hey there @SirJambabwe *hugs* (if you are okay with it)
It is really nice to have you here with us!
This is mostly an open thread for anyone to just share how they feel and what is going on in there life at the moment. In general this is a place to vent and a place of supporting one another through tough times and celebrate little victories. You are also welcome to join us here anytime but please keep in mind the forum guidelines and just in general try to be respectful towards others. :)
Also, yes. Well, not Gillettes, but generally razorblades are a really great option for shaving. I can attend to that :)
Stay awesome!
