Best thing is my freedom I got back now. I appreciate it more.
Worst is i think my thoughts..
@helpfulKiwi4855
I'm glad that you feel free again and hope it will change your thoughts in a positive way. Have you considered to chat with a listener here about your thoughts? I experienced that when I do enough self-care my thoughts tend to change, become more positive. What is your favorite self care practise?
@amiablePeace77 while I was going through difficult time, I got through it with help of self care. Did journalling.
@helpfulKiwi4855
Nice that self-care and journaling helped!
@amiablePeace77
I would say that the best thing in my life right now would be approaching graduation for my Masters program, prioritizing my mental and physical health, and getting closer to pursuing my career.
@warmMemory6263
Nice that you put your mental and physical health as a priority!
I wish you all the best for your graduation.
@amiablePeace77
yes, it very much is and thank you 😊
The best thing about my life right now is my animals and the support I'm getting from my counselors. The hardest thing about my life right now is trying to get out of a bad mental state I was in for a couple of months. I'm doing better and I know with time it will all blow over.
@raspberryScarf2359 saying it will blow over isnt the right word in my opinion. i think saying you will overcome would be better :D
@amiablePeace77 this is powerful. The best thing i have in my life right now is a man. i love him very very much, and although its a struggle cause we are online dating (we live in different states) i still trust him with all my heart, and we are both committed enough to make it :D
the hardest thing is the lack of relationship i have with my father. he is unwilling to let go of past mistakes that i made growing up, so in turn he is also unwilling to trust me. he wont even talk to me, and living under the same roof as him is making it hard. it hurts me every day that he seems to not WANT a relationship with me. . . i would talk to him but i know it wont do anything cause he will blame my past actions (that arent even that bad) as being the reason he cant trust me, and blah blah blah. same old story. ive cried over this so many times, and each time i bring it up vocally, i begin to cry more and wonder why hes been ignoring me, why he wont talk to me, why he wont even look at me.
@EmmyMarie06
I can only imagine how hard it is for you emotionally and mentally to manage this situation. It sounds like you father is stuck in some way and can't find a way to open his heart and see that we all make mistakes, including himself. Living in stressful conditions long term can affect your health. Have you considered to move to another place? What are you doing currently to support your emotional well-being?
Nice that you have someone to talk to, even if it's only online.
@amiablePeace77 thank you so much. yes ive considered moving out but im only 17. hes put me through an emotional rollercoaster my entire life and i want out. bad. ill be 18 during high school cause im one of the older kids, but im getting out asap. thank you for supporting me, its been really hard to feel hated by my own dad lol. THANK YOUU
@EmmyMarie06
I hope for all the best for you! Please remember were are here for you if you want to chat 💙
@amiablePeace77 thank you, it really means a lot. i feel so alone when im home and knowing i have a community to turn to just makes it a little bit easier :D
@amiablePeace77 The best thing in my life right now is having family and friends with me and doing the things I love. For example, playing volleyball, I play volleyball in a club and I'm telling you volleyball makes me excited and happy. When I start playing volleyball I don't think of the horrible things. Right now I am struggling with stress, exams, and sleep. Having exams after exams is stressful and sometimes I don't feel like eating.
@Vane26
Coping with all the pressure from exams can be be difficult for sure! Taking some time for yourself, talking to a friend or doing something you love like playing volleyball can help to destress and give you a brief break which is very important so your mind can relax. You can find the Student Support Community here. It can help to read how others are dealing with exam stress.
@amiablePeace77 I don't know..
@Rinnnnnie
Something that helps me to recognize what is good in my life is just saying out loud all the things I am grateful for but the best thing is always that I am alive.
My biggest struggle atm is trying to understand what I’m here for. I think I know it, but I’m not Entirely sure I’m ready Yet
@reliableSailboat1669
Sorry to hear you have difficulties to see your purpose. Do you think it could help to talk with someone about it? You can browse for a listener here.
I have a lot of hard things and a lot of things to be grateful for. Right now I’m just very happy for my kitty cats. And I’m amazed my boyfriend is steady in my life. Struggles. I’ve been having more depression and anxiety. It’s been tough. But I keep moving forward. I’ve made a lot of progress. I don’t feel suicidal when I’m depressed anymore which is huge.
@AguaNector6700 that IS a huge feat!! im so glad that through the trials you can finally see the tiniest bit of light at the end of the road. just keep moving forward, and remember YOU GOT THIS!!!
@AguaNector6700
Depression and anxiety can be very rough to deal with. I'm so glad to hear that you passed the stage of sui and hope you never get back there. Remember we're here for you to talk 💙. Nice that you have the support of your boyfriend and your kitty cats. It's good to be able to find comfort at home when things became rough.
@amiablePeace77 The best thing in my life right now is my baby sister. Shes such a ray of sunshine.
My biggest struggle right now is that my mental health is awful and my life is falling apart

@amiablePeace77 best thing is inner peace. biggest struggles are many: failed business, wife filed lawsuits and charges against me, took our daughter with her.
