I would rate this week with a 3. Not that great at all but I hope to see a positive change for the next.

Yesterday night and early this morning I kept waking up abruptly in fear, so much that my arms and legs were kicking and punching and more than once I punched myself LOL. So I haven't been sleeping very well lately, I'm often so tired that at 8:30 pm I already WANT my bed and can't keep my eyes open, even though I get up at like 9-10 am and don't work. What the heck is going on? Maybe it's the anti depressant I recently started taking for anxiety? I knew it would have made things worse initially, let's hope it's just that and that things will get better eventually.

Today I'm going to the pool with my aunt and a friend of hers. Looking forward to have fun. I want to be able to swim in a mermaid tail in the end. I'm trying to reach that goal.

Self care or other topics? Uhm... I don't know, I'm rather new to these check-ins. Maybe I'll make my mind later on

@AveryLove

What is something that relaxes you or calms you down? movies gaming my DJing/music sound of raindrops too thunderstorms the waves very particular on the game I play it actually rains so you hear it and when I fish on the game you hear the sound of gently hitting the water with the end of the fishing line its soothing

And how would you rate the past week from a scale of 1 (horrible) -10 (awesome)? its been up and down all week but 8

and (optional) would you like sunday check ins to be self care focused or see different topics? I like the idea Sunday being self-care day for check-ins but I'm good with topics too if you want to do one maybe the other posters rota in the self-care topic on one of their days

@AveryLove

What is something that relaxes you or calms you down?

(1.) something that calms me is drawing or exercising.

And how would you rate the past week from a scale of 1 (horrible) -10 (awesome)?

(2.) i would rate it pretty well, maybe a 7-8.

and (optional) would you like sunday check-ins to be self-care focused or see different topics?

i'd say, multiple topics since there are things in the self-care check-ins at are not at all covered, and i think it would be helpful if more things were discussed in the forums.

@AveryLove

What is something that relaxes you or calms you down? Music calms me.

And how would you rate the past week from a scale of 1 (horrible) -10 (awesome)? 5 it wasn't really good or bad.

and (optional) would you like sunday check ins to be self care focused or see different topics? I would like to see different topics.

I'm having a difficult time in my relationship. She wants more than what I can give right now. She is being understanding and respectful of my boundaries. I just know it hurts her and I don't want to do that.

Music and showers calm me down or relax me. Also just being alone, even if only for 10 minutes to help me recharge and get perspective

I would rate my week as a 5 I guess. Just in the middle. Good and bad things happened so I guess it balances out.
