@PeppermintStar0912 hey! hope you are well.

1. How are you feeling emotionally today? 2. Is there anything you have been struggling with?

so far, i guess pretty okay. i can feel how i am stressed ( i get stressed easily) because i dont know if i have an exam tomorrow or not and a friend of mine keeps saying we need to meet today although i already mentioned that i have been sick the whole week and am still. i guess i should try to do some digital detoxing today as i experienced that it stresses me even more.

3. What is one of your favorite mental health quotes?

all you need in life is already inside of you.

@AveryLove Hello there friend! I'm sorry to hear about how stressed you are and I can understand why you feel that way! Being sick and not knowing if you have an exam can make you worry even more. I hope you get better soon! I think a digital detox is a fantastic idea! How did that go for you? I LOVE your quote! It's so very true. Thank you for checking in and I hope you have a beautifl day!

1. How are you feeling emotionally today?

Peaceful and reflective.

2. Is there anything you have been struggling with?

All of life lately. More specifically motivation to do what I want to do. It's hard when my mind is consumed by the trying to escape the past and even the present. It's like I want to be numb all the time. You know what I mean?

3. What is one of your favorite mental health quotes?

"Trauma creates change you don't choose. Healing is about creating change that you do choose"

I was watching a show recently, and one scene made my cry so much I had to pause it. It triggered recent memories. I've never really been the type to cry watching stuff. It's hard to accept that I've changed from who I used to be, you know? Especially since it was change I didn't choose.

I like how this quote acknowledges that change, and shows we have a choice after. Sometimes I think "Ah, can it ever get better?" And it can. It does, with time, and patience, and a lot of love.

@HunterRose Hi there friend! I am so happy to hear that you feel peaceful and reflective. I actually do know what you mean about wanting to be numb all the time. Sometimes I just don't want to feel at all and that's what being numb does to me. I'm sorry that you've been struggling with motivation- That is one of my biggest problems. I really LOVE your quote! I've never heard that one before but it's so true! Oh no... I'm sorry the show you were watching triggered recent memories for you and I hope you are feeling better now. Oh my gosh thank you so much for saying that it gets better with time, patience, and love! So beautifully said and so very true! Thank you for checking in and have a fantastic day today!

@RedHawk6547 Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling tired and drained. I know those feelings and when it happens, there is no motivation to get anything done. I hope the issues that you are struggling with regarding work and family get resolved soon. Thank you for checking in with me and have a beautiful day.
