@Kate
Good thing - I am alive and breathing
Not so Good - My moods are all over the place, I feel numb and distant.
I just want this feeling to go away.
@loyalBlackberry2433 alive and breathing is certainly a good thing
im sorry to hear your moods are all over the place i can understand you want them gone
Going well: feel like i'm facing my trauma, slowly and with baby steps and it's scary, but making progress.
Not so well: Job anxiety and feel isolated.
offering safe hugs to everyone, and could use one myself
@Kate
1. A big good thing happened at work today. I can't really take credit for it, but I can enjoy it.
2. I should expect a couple more weeks of pain before I shake this illness. So, that's a bummer. I seem to be handling it fine, though.
One thing going well: I've started my life in my new house, in my new city, and am waiting to start my new job. I'm getting things on track.
One thing not going well: I started my period today and it really kicked my ass and ruined my productivity streak! I know tomorrow I'll be fine like usual... It's just frustrating! Maybe I should make some tea?
@betterchoices Make some tea! That's exciting that you're all settled in your new house. It sounds like a fresh start which can be a good thing.
The good thing is that I'm still alive.
The bad thing is that my partner left me recently. We had a fight, and she ran away and never looked back. You think that after a year and a half with someone that you can fully trust them until they decide their best friends, school, and work are more important than their mental health and yours. We were supposed to get engaged later this year. It has hit super hard, and I don't know how to cope. I honestly don't know how to feel anything but devastated.
Hello
Thing that is going well - my sister had a baby and I'm going to fly out to meet her soon
Thing that's not going so well - I've been getting more frustrated lately and I feel like it's makin meme seem not as caring or considerate as I once was. When I try to look at the bright side of trama, that's what I come up with is being more caring because you know how much not being cared about sucks but now that I'm just frustrated and annoyed lately, I don't have that same positive view of it anymore. It also kind of changes the view I have On myself. Like maybe I don't know myself that well
