Hey @faithfulZareia

Thank you for doing this every week, seriously it helps a lot of us out here, I really appreciate it and I hope everything's going well with you.

I'm currently doing okay in all aspects I guess

Physically - I'm good, I was unwell, but I'm quite on the recovery this week and I hope i continue to be atleast this fit

Mentally- I've no idea what I'm doing, but I think I'm good in some ways better than before and I'm actually kinda proud about it, but in other ways I'm not good but it's kinda minor for now

Spiritually- I think I'm just as before, nothing much changed about it

Challenges I'm currently facing: friends, I've never had close friends before and now I have a lot of friendships and I don't know whether I'm liking it or not, I'm overwhelmed with those, study wise I'm going slower than before and it's med school and I'm scared that I have loads to study and I'm so competitive and can't stop comparing myself to others, it's always expectations. I'm always living upto expectations of others, mine mostly to be honest

I'm currently grateful for all that I have, I'm grateful for my health and my loved ones' health and the little happy moments of rest I have before I realize that I have many exams, and I'm grateful for my parents and my sister and their love. For without it, I would've not even had the courage to live, I've had suicidal thoughts becuz of my studies in 2021 and I hate if it would repeat again, now I'm quite on the mend after getting into med school though.

Thank you for doing this!

@FaithfulZareia

I'm okay. A little tired but that's from pets. I got my second assignment finished and impressed the professor even though I missed a few points. I have three more assignments to complete for this class and a lab to start for the new class.

I got a raise at work and the honors society emailed me about some scholarship opportunities. I will have to look more into that.

I don't think there's anything else going on. Just the usual.

Hi @FaithfulZareia! Hope you are doing great! Also, love the check-ina every week, keep up the good work!

❀ How are you currently doing? Physically? Mentally? Spiritually?❀

💮Physically: I really have to start drinking more water!

Mentally: I think I'm starting to stress about the future a little and feel a bit overwhelmed but, we'll see how that goes.

Spiritually: I have to get back to yoga, hopefully, that will get me feeling more at peace again!

❀ What challenges are you currently facing?❀

💮Being motivated to get work done :/ and finding a job

❀ What are you currently grateful for? ❀

💮I'm grateful for my family and friends!

(Also, a bit silly, but I watched a great anime movie today! It's called Lonely Castle in the Mirror, it was great!)

@FaithfulZareia

Hello hello amazing people! Have a wonderful week you are all worth so much 💗

❀ How are you currently doing? Physically? Mentally? Spiritually?❀

I still need to figure out what spiritually means so E) all of the above physically I am doing pretty well haven't been feeling my best but hope I am not getting sick, mentally not too hot but I'll be fine :)

❀ What challenges are you currently facing?❀

Finals and midterms are next week for me and lack of guided review has been difficult to handle. My doggo has added to that today sadly. Trying to be the best possible mentor and leader for 22 JHR kiddos I can be and form bonds with them as I will be their stage manager for the next 2 and half years.

❀ What are you currently grateful for? ❀

The time I have gotten to have with my doggo as heart breaking as it is. I am thankful for cups and student support (cause we a vibe) and all the wonderfulness that I have gotten to do here. 

*I am def not late to this at all*

@FaithfulZareia Hi, everyone! I think at this moment from 1 out of 5, I am Physically (3) , mentally (2 1/2) and spiritually (4 1/2). I feel overwhelmed. My main challenges are managing better my time, dealing with childhood memories of sexual abuse, finding self-compassion, feeling like I belong, and my relationship with my mom. I'm grateful to be alive and for love, light and so many blessings the Universe bestows upon us like music, trees ans so much more.

@FaithfulZareia Thank you so much for the reminders for hard days and for this wonderful place to express ourselves. 🙏

❀ How are you currently doing? Physically? Mentally? Spiritually?❀

I put my kitty Archie to sleep yesterday at 13 years old due to cancer. I have been feeling more sad and lonely missing him. I did my best to give myself some time to spend with him over the weekend but now I also have my spay surgery week this week and my first exam of the semester.

❀ What challenges are you currently facing?❀

I think I am doing pretty well to be productive despite my grief/sadness right now but it is hard not to have a kitty at home anymore. My room feels so much more empty, and I miss being able to cuddle with him so much, and now I have to try to use other coping skills to comfort myself, but nothing is like a pet.

❀ What are you currently grateful for? ❀

I am grateful for friends who have offered me support or visited, and I am really grateful for the vets who helped Archie at the end.
