@baylinAnderson123 hey baylin!
Today I would like to ask everyone to reflect on their day. How was it? What went right? What went wrong? How did you feel?
today the day didnt start off that well. well, i was in a good mood but then i got into a fight with my mother (nothing big though) but since that kind of stucked in my head i forgot some school stuff at home and then had to run home and back to school in my break to get my things. I was in school since 5pm so it was a pretty long day actually. Today i felt empowered, i think. In all my classes i participated well and was prepared. Now i am home and after i didnt have a good lunch, i allowed myself to eat some self-made burgers. Now i need to do some homework, but i will try to stay positive and see it rather as a chance than a duty.
I also have been journaling over the past week and it made me feel really good, since i am a person who never really opens up towards others and have to hold my feelings back.
@dynamicHemlock1736 Hi there friend! I'm sorry to hear that your day didn't start off great and that you got into an argument with your mom. That can be stressful and it's hard to stop thinking about something like that when it happens. I am really glad to hear that you felt empowered and you were well prepared for your classes. Great job! Journaling is such a great thing to do so that's awesome that you do it because you can really open up and get to know yourself better. Thank you for checking in with me and I hope you have a beautiful day!

I went to the foot doctor and he cut a callus from my foot did not hurt as bad as it felt walking on it.
I am paying off my swimming pool today.
Things that went wrong: I took my car to the dealer because the check engine light came on Sunday and I had just had it serviced. The problem with this is that they have not made the factory call back update to the problem. So I have to wait till the car makes do the update so the dealership can fix the problem. They say it won't stop me from driving but it will make my motor race when it is first started and the light will stay on,
@scarletPear1945 Hi there friend! I'm glad that the foot doctor was able to take care of you and that it didn't hurt as bad as you thought it would! Congratulations on paying off your swimming pool! What a great achievement! I'm sorry about the problems with your car. That is very frustrating to have to deal with so I hope everything works out for you! Thank you for checking in with me and I hope you have a great day!
@baylinAnderson123
- How was it?
My day was pretty decent.
- What went right?
I got through a presentation for college, even if I stuttered the whole time.
- What went wrong?
I kinda obsessed over it and what could go wrong for a long time before the presentation and I kinda freaked out in math because somehow half of my homework wasn't in the system, so I am currently getting a D in Math.
- How did you feel?
Embarrassed, and a bit anxious, but relieved about the presentation.
@friendlyLake5949 Hi there! I am glad to hear that you are doing decent! Congratulations on getting through your presentation! I remember having to do those and I was always so nervous right before but you got through yours and that is great! I hope you get everything worked out with your math grade and thank you for checking in with me! Have a beautiful day!
@PeppermintStar0912
I figured out my math grade, the professor is letting me redo homework to bump it up and I'm gonna retake a test or two!
@friendlyLake5949 Oh that's really good news, I am glad to hear that! I hope you do well!
How was it? What went right? What went wrong? How did you feel?
My day was hard. Nothing went right. Everything went wrong. I felt horrible.
@sunshinegiraffe123 Hi there my friend. I am so sorry that you had a really hard day. I get those a lot and they are so exhausting and I get angry when they happen. I really hope that today is better for you. Thank you for checking in with me and I hope you have a beautiful week!
@PeppermintStar0912

@sunshinegiraffe123 Sorry two messages are blank! I hope you are doing okay today my friend! Have you done anything nice for yourself today like take a walk or have some tea?
@PeppermintStar0912
i took a walk
@sunshinegiraffe123 Awesome job! Exercise is a great choice when days are really hard.
@PeppermintStar0912
I failed ...
didn't end up doing it
@sunshinegiraffe123 That's okay if you didn't end up doing it. Try again another time and don't give up!
@PeppermintStar0912
😭
@sunshinegiraffe123 You can do this!!
@PeppermintStar0912
Why😭
@sunshinegiraffe123 What's going on today my dear friend?! It doesn't look like you are doing too well.
@PeppermintStar0912
I couldn't do any of my work in English
I couldn't finish my notes in history
and in math I got super anxious
Just a rough rough rough day
- my day was productive in getting things done...
- good: I stood up against my abusive mother
- bad: I lost...
That is alright that you lose this time, the most important fact was that you stood up to her. Each time you assert your self by standing up for your self more and more will bring about some victories, it will get better and better I have been there and done that, so what you are saying resonates well with me very well.
Hi there and thank you for checking in with me! I am so glad to hear that you stood up to your abusuve mother! I have one as well and it's important that we stand up for ourselves even if it seems like we lost. You didn't lose because of the strength you had to talk back to her. Great job and I hope you have a beautiful rest of your week!
@PeppermintStar0912
I love your response, I had one of those mothers to(LOL)
@scarletPear1945 Thank you my friend! Those of us with abusvie mothers have to stick together and support each other!
@PeppermintStar0912
So very true
@scarletPear1945 
@PeppermintStar0912
My day has been good, doing some last-minute detailing on my props for my program Sunday and making up gift baskets for my speakers.
@scarletPear1945 I hope it all goes well for you on Sunday! I can't wait to hear how it went... If you don't mind telling me!
@PeppermintStar0912
I don't mind at all
@scarletPear1945 Oh awesome, thank you so much!
@PeppermintStar0912
Just finished listening to a 3-hour vacuum cleaner presentation. and I bought the doggone thing. But I do love it. so I guess it was worth the sit.
@scarletPear1945 If you love it, then it was worth it! I hope it's a great vaccum!
@PeppermintStar0912
Thanks going to use it now(LOL)
@scarletPear1945 Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How was my day?
It was ok. Very bad then very good, then bad again.
Good: I spoke to a family member that caused me trauma. (I was getting very anxious and speaking about it was my only way of feeling any bit better) And then I did feel better.
Bad: That family member did not respond well to my talk. (as usual)
How i felt: Great after I talked about it. but then now a little worse as i am thinking about what i forgot to say and how he responded.
Thanks for reading.
@affectionatePerson4578 Hi there! It seems like you had a roller coaster of a day! I hope you are doing better today. I am really happy to hear that you stood up for yourself and talked to your family member about the trauma they caused you. That is a very good thing on your part. We have to recognize our trauma and hurt. I also have a family member who caused me trauma and everytime I would talk to this person about it, they would get really defensive and deny everything. That is so wonderful that you felt great afterwards! Thank you for checking in with me and I hope you have a beautiful week!
