@CaringBrit someone I know is quite unwell. Shes been moved from one hospital to another for an emergency procedure. We are all just praying for her.
@dynamicShip37 ill pray for her too and im sure she will pull through
do you know the footprints in the sand song its also a poem
@CaringBrit I do and thanks. She still isnt very well but she will get through. Shes a fighter. Its just scary to know that someone who was happy, strong and moving on has become so weak mentally and physically. People just want to see her well again. Not long back she tried to take her own life. She was luckily found in time. Just makes you think doesnt it? You never really know what people hide behind their smile.
@CaringBrit
Just saying hello today. Nice to finish the work week & get to sleep in tomorrow.
@ReallyRuth Hello Ruth! Enjoy sleeping in tomorrow! That is my plan as well.
@ReallyRuth love sleep ins hope that sleep in is lots of fun just to relax and not have to rush everywhere
I'm doing good today, thank you. A lot of self-reflection is happening. It's emotional, but long overdue and much needed. :)
Something going well: My mood is improved after a long battle! I'm very grateful to be feeling more positive again; as always, I'm going to try and maintain it.
Something not going so well: Although I'm more positive, I still have a LOT of worry that I need to let go of. It's a strange dichotymy, you'd think being so upbeat would mean I'm happy go lucky, and I am-- to a degree. Mostly I'm finding that I use my positivity to ignore my worries, instead of handling them! That's something I'm trying hard to work on.
A goal I have today is to get all my Christmas stuff accomplished! I want to be more selfless and thoughtful towards others right now! :)
These check-ins keep me goin'. Thank you.
@betterchoices It's really great to hear that you're feeling better. Even if things aren't perfect, small steps and small improvement counts! I need to get Christmas stuff done this weekend as well. Time to get presents for others and give back!
@betterchoices thats awesome to hear your doing good today and self reflection is important for many things im glad to hear you feel its very much needed hope self reflection is going well for you
yayy on mood improved and the positivirty and maintaining it takes work but i believe in you we all do
worrys are natural to everyone im sure in time youll be able to let go of that worry but when you are ready too
your very welcome
Im all right. Its unusual to be able to say that and have it be honest. But I think it is today. Nice.
One thing thats going well – I keep feeling more and more like a person. First time in years I felt that way. So I can hear myself think again and I can feel a lot of things. Not so numb or detached anymore.
One thing thats not going so well - the thoughts of self injury are returning and perhaps worsening tonight. This week, maybe the last week too Im not sure, keep getting these random thoughts about making myself not be here anymore. Thats a little more intense than usual for me. I used to get a lot of thoughts about not wanting to be here, but not usually thoughts about me making That happened. Its confusing too because I know I dont want to do that and I decided a long time ago that I would never do that so I wont but I dont understand why I keep getting these random thought about it popping up. Those are a bit scary and stressful. I dont like them. I wish they would stop.
Goals? Hmm, I guess to try to stay active and engaged socially and in positive activities. Some downtime to process is OK but too much time is usually not good for me. Trying to sell find a balance of not being so busy that it becomes stressful but also staying engaged in interacting with others.
@pioneeringBanana1598 Banana its great to see you say that in a honest way proud of you that you felt in that moment you were all right
i love your feeling more and more like a person im proud of you and i bet your proud of yourself too
aww no i believe in you to fight against those thoughts banana maybe self reflection if theirs something going on in your life that may be bringing these thoughts on more strongly
a great goal to have finding balance is very important and i agree its good to have alone time for sure but too much can make you feel lonely detached from others its great you recognise balance is needed
I'm doing ok, but I feel blah. I got out of bed made three phone call. I broke a tooth but it's nitnemergency as I'm not in pain, but it's one of my front teeth and I feel embrassed but I realized my dentist must have cracked that tooth when he filled it because my filling came out and so did half the tooth,
1 thing going well: I'm cooking well.
1 thing going unwell: cleaning, sigh. the more I try to organize my stuff, the more my stuff all over the place
Goal I wish to accomplish: i want to write 5 blogs this weekend and finish my Christmas cards
