What is something you would really like others to know about you?
I used to be the most kind and giving person ever, I swear. Now people can hardly ask me to close a window for them without me blowing up in their face. But I used to give 220% for other people for the longest time with angelic patience. How I am now is really not a reflection of who I used to be.
What is something you need to hear right now?
It's okay, I'm here for you. We will work through this together.
If you had to give the past week a title, what would it be?
What even happened last week? (No seriously I don't remember)
~ A novel by me
Good morning everyone ^_^ I like the forest picture!
What is something you would really like others to know about you?
I am stronger than it might seem, I have resources you don't know, I am nothing like you've seen before (everyone of us is unique)
What is something you need to hear right now?
"You're going the right way"
If you had to give the past week a title, what would it be?
"Quarantine and me" I'm Italian. We're ALL in quarantine, and being forced home brought bad things, but good things as well. I was finally starting to slowly get out of the house where I shut myself for years... And now I'm forced inside. I had found something that made going out worth it and that made my future seem brighter... And I can't go on with it because I'm FREAKIN'SHUT INSIDE AGAIN!!! So frustrating. BUT that is also a challenge for myself and my progress and just because I can't physically meet the celtic revival group, it doesn't mean that I can't go on with this passion from home. I'm studying and learning a lot of stuff on celta, crafting things in my free time. I'm trying to tidy and clean my space, enjoying time with the cat ahahah she's so sweet and very cuddly. AND my parents are forced away from me muahaha HAWHAWHAWHAW MUAHAHAHAHAHAW!!!!! So yes, good and bad things
1. To everyone, I'm extremely tired and it's catching up with me hard. Sometimes I feel great, don't need sleep, love myself and the world, am motivated to recover, exercise, live life. Other times I'm tired and it is one of many ways my depression sneaks up. It doesn't make me lazy and I'm not using it as an excuse. To professors who complain they don't understand, be grateful you don't understand what this feels like. But I'll explain myself and apologize for the symptoms of my depression, anxiety, ED recovery, and trauma that don't affect you anyway. I'll suck up my victim mentality that I worked hard to combat but occasionally slips out because apparently progress means nothing to you and I just have to go from sad to happy, no in-between. I'll present you with fake enthusiasm just to make you back off. And when you praise me for it, I'll hide the hurt. I'll lie to myself until I feel better. Fake it til you make it, right? I want to get out of bed, be resilient, and be productive, anything. I'm just too tired to be happy right now.
2. "You're going to survive this. Painful and conflicting emotions are normal. Progress isn't linear. You deserve good things, good feelings, even if you don't believe it yet. You don't have to be like your parents just because their DNA is in you. You don't have to be like anyone for that matter. You are you".

I am sorry to hear you were unwell last week, I hope you are feeling better now...
What is something you would really like others to know about you?
I am scared. And I feel lonely sometimes. Lacking a clear and stable sense of identity is terrifying. Even if my emotional reactions do not make much sense to you, they are genuine. My pain is real. I may appear strong, and I suppose I am in a way, but that doesn't mean I do not need help.
What is something you need to hear right now?
I am so proud of you
If you had to give the past week a title, what would it be?
Walking in shadowland
What is something you would really like others to know about you?
That just because I have a big heart doesn't mean that I want to be walked all over. My heart is sore and is trying to heal.
What is something you need to hear right now?
I'm happy you're alive, I see you.
If you had to give the past week a title, what would it be?
Strange but good
What is something you would really like others to know about you?
nothing!!!
What is something you need to hear right now?
silence.
If you had to give the past week a title, what would it be?
"grim dawn."
