1. I feel hurt and disappointed, but I guess that's the way it is. I feel a little accepting of it too, which is good. Honestly it's just really sad in the end. At this point I'm wondering why I ever tried so hard to save these relationships. They meant something to me at one point.
2. My own mistakes got me here, that's hard to deal with. But in the end, none of this was deserved. It was wayyy overkill. I don't really feel like dealing with it anymore, it's no longer my problem, I did what I could. Still holding onto a slight hope that it's just anxiety, but that would be some crazy ass technology and idk why people would spend that on me. Still looking for what I'm supposed to learn from this. I don't really feel like fighting. I'm not really sure what the objective is.
3. Hmm... mental health quotes. I don't really have one so I'll make up my own, and it would just be that if you see someone struggling, don't make it worse. Lol
@dworth257 Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling hurt and disappointed. It sounds like you put a lot of work into relationships that didn't end up working out and that is tough to deal with. I hope you feel better soon. I really like your mental health quote, I totally agree with you! Thank you for checking in with me and have a great night!
@PeppermintStar0912 good day!
1. How are you feeling today?
i guess i feel pretty calm, relaxed and open-minded. today i did not procrastinate for school and i finally got up and visited my grandmother at the hospital. my grandmother is not really nice towards me and my brother and she always tells everyone how she prefers our cousins (she even gives them money every week and she doesnt give us a single euro) but however, i thought that i should try to still show kindness so i still visited her.
2. Are you struggling with anything right now?
not really! :) *for now*
3. What is one of your favorite mental health quotes?
Mental health…is not a destination, but a process. It
@AveryLove Hi there friend! I'm very glad to hear that you are feeling calm and open minded! How lovely that must be! Good job and not procrastinating and a GREAT job on visiting your grandmother even though she isn't that nice to you. You have a beautiful heart! It makes me smile to know that you aren't struggling with anything and I hope it stays that way for you. I really like your quote! Thanks for checking in and have a great night.
I've been doing quite well overall!!! I'm struggling with nightmares, and telling myself not to be so stressed or anxious when I have nothing to be stressed or anxious about!
"Worrying means you'll suffer twice" is one I really enjoy!
@betterchoices Hi there! I am glad to hear that you have been doing well and I hope it stays that way for you! I'm sorry about those nightmare you've been having. I get those too and I don't care much for them! I LOVE your quote, it's so true. Thanks for checking in and have a great night!

Good morning. I'm feeling okayish, as usual. Kind of stressed, because my exams start soon and I should hand in a paper soon and have a movie viewing tomorrow that I don't want to attend but have to attend because it's a huge part of my grade. I don't like movies, they are far too loud and I feel like there is no way to escape from scenes that upset me. I feel like books are far better. When they upset me, I can just close the book and take a break. Movies are far more complicated.
I have another date today. He will cook dinner for me. I'm looking forward to it, but I also am super nervous. Getting to know new people is always scary for me, because my unconscious, traumatized part is always looking for warning signs and it feels like this part is screaming at me all the time. It's nothing new though, it's was screaming too when I had my last job interviews and when I first went to do a public reading and it's screaming too about my old schools prom which I will attend in two weeks. It's kind of a tradition for students who have already graduated to go there and I'm really looking forward to it. Sadly the trauma won't shut up about what will go wrong. I feel like this part of me slowly starts to fade and I guess that's good. Still I wish it would just go away for ever. But I'm also scared of what will happen, when this part is gone forever. I can't really remember being me without trauma. I can't remember living without that part of me that's always scared and stressed and overanalyzing everything. So how will life look like without it. How will I now if what I'm doing is safe? How will I know that I'm not overlooking any red flags?
Sorry if that doesn't make much sense. I'm okay. And I mean, that's the only thing that's really important, right?
@sincerePark336 Hi there! It sounds like you were really busy and I can understand why you felt stressed! I hope you feel better now and I hope the movie wasn't too bad for you. I like books better than movies too! How did your date go? I hope it went well! I'm sorry to hear about the trauma that you have. It's really hard to deal with that. Have a good time attending your old school's prom and thank you for sharing this with me! I enjoyed reading it and you are right when you say that all that matters is that you are okay! Have a beautiful night.
