How are you doing today? I'm ok, just feel a little stressed.
What is your favorite coping method? Writting
Do you prefer open check-ins or ones with a specific topic? Both 
@Writersworld hello love, good to see you! i am sorry to hear you feel stressed today, is there any specific reason? writing definitely does sound like a great coping method - thank you for sharing with us and hope you have a good day
@AveryLove
I don't know haha. but I relaxed a bit. it's better now
I'm doing okay. feeling more relaxed than usual. one of my paver coping methods it is listening to music. I like check-ins with more specific topics.
Thank you for this! I think it's wonderful!
How are you doing today? I'm okay. The stress level is at a 60%.
What is your favorite coping method? I try to keep as busy as possible.
Do you prefer open check-ins or ones with a specific topic? Both :)
@AveryLove
Thanks for asking. I'm doing okay. Kind of shaky after a bad dream I had last night. Well, not totally bad. The person that assaulted me was in it; it was dark and raining. He didn't see me. The rain became a pretty dangerous storm. He was stranded in it, but I had a Jeep. I ended up driving home and all was well. I had an anxiety attack as soon as I woke up, but I'm feeling a lot better now.
My favorite coping mechanisms these days are reading, doing makeup/art, walking, music, and Zoom chats. Haha
It honestly depends on the day. Some days I don't have the energy to respond to specific questions. Some days the specific questions really help me develop more insight into what I have going on mentally. So, both.
I prefer to be gentle with myself. I find that works the best!
I prefer specific topics because all the other communities I'm a part of tend to have general questions, and I find that I end up repeating myself and feeling unproductive.
@AveryLove
I've been doing okay. I've had a couple of ups and downs this week and a friend of mine shared a traumatic experience that she went through as a child and as a teen. It really sucked to hear that she went through all of it and I'm glad 7 cups gave me some good active listening skills to use to help her out. I think my favorite coping skills with tough times are talking it out and also writing it out in a diary or something. I think expressing our emotions and thoughts helps us organize them better sometimes, which is why I enjoy doing it :) And I like specific check in questions so that there's a general theme hehe
