@soulsings well I guess lately I've become very frustrated with myself, which is making the depression worse 😔 I can only currently move my right arm and head. It's like I can't do anything right now. It really really sucks. But gotta remember, if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off😁 but I will get better, and never give up ❤ I am continuing to keep trying to do little things I enjoy, I got my pigs for hugs, and they are funny. You can't help but to smile in their presence😁❤
happy mental health awareness month everyone, I hope your all ok ❤
hugs soul ❤
@Tinywhisper11 yep we're all stuck with this world and the world's stuck with us :D I'm so glad that the world has you though, you're a cute little ball of sunshine <3 You'll make it through, you've so much to do and so much to explore. Can't wait for the day you get to share with us all your adventures around the world.
@BlueDarkAurora thanks Aurora ❤ hugs you tightly ❤I love you ❤❤
@Tinywhisper11 <3
hugs @Tinywhisper11 it must be so frustrating to have limited mobility. That sounds rough.
One of my problems in life is I have spent too much of my time thinking about what I do not have. Did it help me? Unfortunately it not do anything to make me feel better. So now I am trying a new strategy.
Every day I spend some time being grateful what I can do and what I have. It has helped a little not that it changed things, except my attitude. I went from a "maditude" and a "baditude" to a "gladitude"
Keep smiling my friend!
@soulsings maditude and baditude😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I am very grateful for all that I have, I know I could be in much worse condition. Its just not easy sometimes to remember that, but I'm trying very hard ❤😁❤

@akunknown
Also Mental Health and Mental Health Awareness as well as all health and all health awareness is so important and needed and crucial for all of us that it should not only be one day. It should be 24/7 all year long every single year. Just my opinion.
@akunknown
You make a very good point there :) I agree it should be all year round but thankfully we value this every single day at 7 Cups!
@LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS
Yes! Great point there about it being valued all the time here! If only everyone was here, part of this great community :)
@akunknown 👏👏👏 your amazing I hope you know that ❤❤
@Tinywhisper11
I know 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 but thanks for pointing it out anyway. Wish more people knew that. After reading your comment they might. Who knows???? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In all seriousness and honesty though you are totally amazing too whether you already know that or not ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@akunknown there were many threads on World Mental Health day so hopefully people saw one.
Thank you for your kind words.
@soulsings
Yes I know. It’s one of the many things/reasons that make this community as great as it is.
For anyone who may not know, my comment was about mental health awareness everywhere in the world. Not just here in this community which is a great great start of increasing awareness about it.
To all of you who posted/created threads about mental health, great job and thanks so much 👍👍 to all of you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@soulsings it feels like I’m so overwhelmed I don’t feel like there’s much I can do for myself. If I try I feel guilty and selfish. I’m near tears every day. I have to brace myself to go to work. I do go to the gym twice a week but it seems it’s not enough
@blueAcai236
I'm very sorry to hear that you feel guilty if you try to do something for yourself. In the past I had similar feelings and just focused on getting things done. However, when I started to take some time for myself, I realized that it actually helped to get things done faster and better. When we get into the habit of giving priority to things that have to be done all the time, we neglect ourselves and will suffer.
It is okay and it shows responsibility when you take time out for yourself.
Thank you
@blueAcai236 you are welcome
@soulsings
I started a fitness journey and I'm dedicating more time to fulfill my basic needs
@soulsings
I make sure that I do not get exhausted and take enough breaks as well as eating healthy and doing some mental exercises to keep the mind fit. Some time ago I started with compassion exercises as well so every day I give myself a hug and talk in a comforting way to myself when things are difficult.
@amiablePeace77 hugging oneself sounds wonderful.
