@Rebekahwriter13

yh sleep takes most of the day for sure if only eh
oh nice choice what would you write and publish
thats a good thing for sure
hope you get better asap and oh no why do they keep getting cut that must be frustrating
i understand hugs if youd like one
1. what do you most look forward to about spring and why?
Getting positive energy from the sun.
2. If You Could Eliminate One Thing From Daily Routine, What Would It Be And Why?
Honestly, spending time reading about the news. It is completely unhealthy.
3.If You Can Instantly Become An Expert In Something, What Would It Be?
Design/drawing/painting - arts in general :)
4. one thing going well
I cried today. It may sound weird but believe me when I tell you, when I don't cry, something's wrong. So yay to me crying.
5. one thing not going well
I have anxiety from the current situation in the world. And my traumatic experiences are so harsh I can't cry half as much as I wish I could. When I do cry, half the time, it's so overwhelming that I start sleeping before finishing to cry or I start yawning before crying because I'm stressed that it will be overwhelming. Not sure which is best. I know it's ok, I'll just take it a day at a time and deal with my pain/fear when I can. But it is one thing that's not going well... or that's upsetting in itself.
6. how are you feeling today
Well, considering the previous two messages, not too good... but doing my best to hang in there.
@HenrietteK
love that do you find it along with summer brings more positives unlike winter or bad weather in autumn if any tend to bring
yeah true especially the way its written or spoken about on media like the current situation into stressing people out etc your right
art is such a great skill im sure with practice youll be great at it anyone can do art i encourage you to start if you havent yet
its not weird at all youve let emotions otherwise i think this is correct but left bottled up by crying youve let those out and thats a good thing how did you geel afterwards is the most important thing youve also let yourself feel them emotions too
i understand how you feel hugs if youd like one or accept them the current situation is scary for sure media definetly not helping the issue here for you in this time of need
takecare of yourself and stay safe well get through this situation together

1. what do you most look forward to about spring and why
I adore nightime and grey cloudy skies, but I honestly can't wait to get some sunlight again. It's been dark and grey for months on end and it's driving me crazy. I'm super light sensitive, but I still grew up in a brighter climate. Never thought I'd ever miss blue skies.
2. If You Could Eliminate One Thing From Daily Routine, What Would It Be And Why?
Babysitting. It's a big thing for me to have to do at the moment, and while I love my cute little nephew, I'm too dissociative and overwhelmed to take good care of him. I could prevent a lot of the trouble he gets into if only I could focus better. But it's okay, this routine of having to look after him is only temporary. Soon his mother will take over again.
3.If You Can Instantly Become An Expert In Something, What Would It Be?
Coding. It would be so cool and useful.
4. one thing going well
Doctors are being pretty nice to us even with all the turmoil going on.
5. one thing not going well
Coping with the pandemic I guess.
6. how are you feeling today
Kinda flat, but surprisingly better than the last few days.
@Soe22
aww its understandable its how we get one of our important vitamins too is through the sun i miss the blue skies too just not too hot otherwise i hate it and oh no light sensetive youll be enjoying blue skies pretty soon im sure
aww i understand hopefully she takes over again asap and its not your fault you cant focus that well when disassosiative you lose that function you could try grounding techniques if you havent yet what do you think to this next time you babysit
i wish i could code too it definetly is for designing cool profiles on here its all code and i dunno how to lol or a cool website or even make your own game
thats great there being nice
same i understand
glad to hear youve been doing better than last few days
Having a sudden depressive episode. Hit hard.
@Lexloveslife I
@HenrietteK
Thank you
@Lexloveslife hugs lex sorry to hear that im here for you we can sit together i know its hard but chin up your not alone
@CaringBrit
Thanks
@CaringBrit could you remove me from the tag list please. I've used the form to do it, but I keep getting notifications.
@resourcefulPond1641
I think it's not about the tag, once you wrote in a thread it keep notifying you, no way of escaping that, I am not tagged anywhere but notifications come to me from threads I have been present in.
@OldSerendipityBoat It's not just this thread. I get notified of all trauma checkin's even if I don't post. Because I signed up to them when I use to use this website 3 years ago. The form to automaticly remove yourself doesn't seem to work. I've tried it a few times over the last few weeks. I think someone might need to remove me manually.
@CaringBrit

1. I most look forward to the sunshine and perfect temperatures! Not too hot, not too cold-- but in a different way than Fall! I look forward to dresses and animals!
2. Brushing my teeth! Of course I do it because I don't wanna be gross, but I hate it. Haha.
3. I like to earn what I get, but it'd be pretty cool to be instantly multi-lingual!
4. I am getting so much done around the house during quarantine!
5. I'm applying for jobs, but not really finding anything I'm excited about. I'm especially not finding anything because who's hiring during a quarantine? How can a new employee be trained from home?
6. I'm a little stressed, but feeling a lot of good, also. 7Cups keeps me sane and motivated. Thanks. :)
Really cute post theme today with the roses and colored text!
@betterchoices
ohnice im a not too hot or cold person too xd exciting season for sure to bring that
aww yh i understand that
interesting choice but of course

aww sorry to hear your stressed but glad 7cups helps and yourwelcome
