1. How are you doing? I am dealing with exhaustion and for the next two weeks I have a very long to do list.
2. What is going well for you so far this June? I have not had to worry about money this month, we saved from last month
3. What is a goal you would like to accomplish this week? I want energy to clean
@Rebekahwriter13
Hi Rebekah,
Sorry you have so much to do for the next two weeks. We bet it will get quite exhausting! 
Hope you can make it through these challenging, extremely busy next two weeks. Glad you are tackling that to do list and getting it over with! 
So very glad that you both (assuming you mean you and your significant other or friend), saved well last month and that it is giving you both such a breather this month. That feeling is so nice, 
especially if you deal with so often not having enough to make it. We hope you get enough energy to do some cleaning. You already have lots to do, with your to do list. Just hope there is some of you left over for the cleaning you want to get done also. Wish you the best!
@Amelia2324 My family saved. My guy and I are in a long distance relationship as we are both taking care of our families.
I had new meds. . . water pill and a gout pill and all of my testing for carpal tunnel and dealing with a ganglion cyst has made me very tired.
I just wish there was a way that I can keep a good constant energy throughout the day.
@Rebekahwriter13
Hi, Glad your family saved!!!! You and your guy are both taking care of a lot with both of your families. That is a lot on you both. Glad you got both the water pill and the gout pill. I hope they are both helping you out well. Gout is very painful to deal with. You have progressed nicely to get all of that testing done for your carpal tunnel. Do you know yet if they want to operate on that or have you wear the brace(s)? And, oh my the ganglion cyst also!!!!!!!!!! You have so much going on that needs attention all the time. I bet you do get very tired quite a bit. I hope there are times for you to have breaks when you need them and can get them in. Take care,
HI, @fairyava , thanks for doing our check-in's for all 4 days this week.
I enjoyed the healthy habbits, cute cartoon characters there at the betinning. They are also helpful.
1. How are you doing? been doing very badly, with lots of alters out, with tons of stress, pressure from a therapist that has been just too much for me to take, facinging losing house after 37 years, and much more. My depression and stress have been beyond belief. We have also had some stress here at home with trying to be able to keep our home. It has come down to less than 2 weeks, all b/c of the insurance broker.
2. What is going well for you so far this June? Lots! Finally got switched to a diff therapist, who is not 3 decades + younger than I am and close to age. She is heping me beyond belief!!!! She understand so much, is so knowledgeable, has tons of experience, and we have been connecting so well. I am so thankful to be able to be with her!!!!! We have finally, finally, make some great, productive progress with keeping the home, from what all I have been working on and from one of the electricians I got in tough with on a diff home keeping issue. This electrician spoke with our insurance broker and helped our insurance broker realize how mistaken he has been in what he has been telling and expecting us to do, that had clearly passed in the home inspection. Kudos to this wonderful, knowledgeable electrician!
3. What is a goal you would like to accomplish this week? This week, I have 4 specialist Dr. appointments, one which was today. I want to successfully make each appointment, whether in person or on the computer--depending, depending on the appointment. I made it through the roughest of these appointmets, Monday. It involved a new Dr., with him having his hands around my neck doing things, which was so frightening and threatening to me. It took many, many hours to be able to function enough after this appointment. My goal for the rest of the week is to have good experiences with my appointments, and I am looking so forward to my therapy appointment on Thursday at 4 pm very much!
Hello! I'm doing wonderfully. Happy to have lots of work today and a couple of chances to see some of my favorite coworkers (still remotely).
🌼 What is going well for you so far this June?
June has been a friendly month so far. Read a few really wonderful books, got a promotion at work, and getting excited for father's day, even though I won't be able to visit in person.
🌼 What is a goal you would like to accomplish this week?
I have one very long term project at work that is easy to push off so I've assigned one step from that to myself this week. I'll have to find some time for it even though it's far from the most pressing thing I have to do this week. (:
Hi. I hope you're having a good day. I'm all over the board today. There are some incredible things going on in my life right now. Some opportunities opened up for me to do a profession I always dreamed of but thought wasn't possible. But I'm also torn about to what extent I'm trying to let something go personally. Basically I'm allowing one person to ruin my relationship with a group of friends. I'm upset because this isn't the first time this has happened. I'm tired of losing things that meant a lot to me, people using me and taking things from me. I tend to walk away from environments once I've figured out that my efforts are futile. I've given up a lot of relationships that way. I don't know if I want to fight back, or accept my losses and be smarter yet again the next time. I don't even know what fighting back looks like, because I'm not willing to talk to that person anymore. I already tried different techniques over a long period of time. I don't know if I am capable of being around and ignoring them though. I feel embarrassed for what they've told other people about me, even if they're not true. I haven't decided if it's worth all the headache.
I could just try again to focus on the good things happening in my life and let go of everything else. I want both. I don't have many people in my life, even though other things are going well for me. I'm a hard worker and done a lot for myself despite my past. But I've never quite figured out the part about being a member of the human race. I feel like a piece of myself is missing. I joined this app to help with that. I won't give up on letting people in. But I sure am tired of bad things happening.
My goal this month is maybe to not have so many goals. (:
How are you doing?
I am doing okay. Let's hope I feel better.
What is going well for you so far this June?
I am progressing very slowly and tentatively. I just hope I continue.
What is a goal you would like to accomplish this week?
I would like to get a bit more mental calmness.
I hope you are doing well. Thanks for the check in. Have a good day! 🐯
