1. How are you feeling today?

I'm feeling alright. My boyfriend challenged me to throw a basketball over a tree and me being a crazy competitor and unable to back down from a dare, I did and....got it stuck in the tree! So then I had to climb up there and get it and my shoelace got stuck so I had to ditch the shoe, and jump down with the ball I threw (thank God my boyfriend knew how to catch me without getting someone hurt!) and then we had to find one of those clothes hooks and get my shoe. It was a whole adventure! We're still laughing about it 6 hours later.

2. Is there anything bothering you or upsetting you?

Just the fact that my mom works as a nurse and she had a patient who had the coronavirus. I'm not that worried about getting it because I'm not considered to be someone at a high risk of developing serious complications, but my mom already has a weakened immune system and my brother is three so if she gets sick and gives it to him, he's likely to get seriously ill because he's so young.

3. What are three words that best describe you?

Caring, determined, overachiever

4. Who do you ask for advice when you have to make a difficult decision?

One of my former coaches who's also a family friend. He's only 24 but he's awesome at being logical, not overthinking, and coming up with ideas I haven't thought of. He's also great at not being overly pushy to the point where it becomes annoying, so that's a huge upside as well

1. How are you feeling today? A mix of frustration and meh.

2. Is there anything bothering you or upsetting you? The location im.in, I feel like I'm losing friends, and I have depression and writers block

3. What are three words that best describe you?

Positive: perky, sarcastic, honest

Negative: dark, depression, stuck

4. Who do you ask for advice when you have to make a difficult decision? Weight all your choices. Ask those close to you and listen to your gut.

1. How are you feeling today?

Not bad. I woke up terribly and I couldn't get out of bed until 9:30 am, wen the sensation faded. Then the day got a lot better. I ate to my grandma's and collected materials for my crafts. I'm ok now.

2. Is there anything bothering you or upsetting you?

Anxiety. As always.

3. What are three words that best describe you?

I suck at this. Empathetic, caring and... Creative I guess?

4. Who do you ask for advice when you have to make a difficult decision?

I have a long history of doing stuff on my own. I always did from when I was a child because I had no one I could rely on. I've tried to open up recently and ask others, in real life and also here on 7cups, but it didn't turn out too well. I'm going back to doing on my own and I like it actually. Makes me feel strong and capable, and if I fail it's MY responsibility, it's on my own hands, I've got control. If I ask for help I can't control the other person's efforts. Maybe all this is not very healthy, but it's how it goes at the moment

1. I am feeling so happy!!!

2. Nothing at all is upsetting me today!!

3. Artistic, friendly, silly

4. I ask my boyfriend or my mom!

1. How are you feeling today?

I had a pretty good day overall, so I'm mostly doing well. I just had my first true intuitive eating & mindful eating success which is one step closer to healing. I also am learning to accept situations without judgement.

2. I gave myself heartburn. Also I left my computer in my room when I stepped away. I thought my parents' door was closed but when I came back to my bedroom I saw that it was cracked and my computer screen was on. I was gone for about 5 minutes so the screen should've been off by the time I got back. It wasn't. So someone touched my computer before the screen dimmed. It wasn't my mother. It was my father. I should've known better than to leave my laptop in my room, knew better than to assume he was taking a nap. Now he may be tracking my computer again. I just got a new one like 5 months ago. I have things I want to remain private, like everyone. I let my guard down too much. But you know what? If he wants to snoop on my computer, fine. He can do that. Whatever he finds, he won't be able to use it against me without pretty much admitting that he went through my computer. Just another opportunity to tighten my gaurd, take my laptop with my everywhere with no excuses on my end. He's gonna try to bother me with things like buying fast food while I'm in his car (makes me nauseous), clearing his throat (misophonia), invading my personal space which he and my mother have been trying more and more. My mother is in the love-bomb stage of her narcissism. She thinks we're getting close again... no. That doesn't bother me; it's more the calm before the storm that worries me. Sorry for the rambles. Time to sleep.

3. Work in progress

4. Anyone, really. I don't have anyone specific for this

Good night
