Happy Saturday! I am really looking forward to hear from you once again! heart

How are you feeling today? :)

How has this week been for you? Do you have anything you would like to share about it? :)

It is that merry and happy time of the year again, or at least it was this week. I, for one, do absolutely love Christmas or at least the concept of it and how everything just gets decorated and all those awesome lights.

BUT, I know that it can also be a really hard time for some people and you may feel pressured to just feel happy at this time of the year but that is not true, it is completely okay to feel the way you feel, no matter the time of the year.

Your feelings are not only valid but also important and so are you. It is okay to feel down, to not like Christmas and whichever way all this may make you feel I would be glad to listen.

After all, the whole point of Christmas is to be there for one another and just to celebrate the love and compassion that we have for others and that is why I really love Christmas.

This is why I just want you to know that the way you feel is perfectly okay and no matter what I am always glad to listen and support you as best as I can and I am always happy to just spend time with you here so if you have anything on your mind I would be glad to listen. :)

Of course, as always, there is no pressure on you to answer any of the above questions. We are glad to have you here with us no matter what. Feel free to just stop by for a minute or two to sit with us or just to say hi :)
Also, we have got plenty of safe hugs here still soo feel free to just grab yourself one :)

@redmark

Hello, thanks for the boop.

Monday was bad for me, but I worked up the courage to tell a friend that I really wasn't okay and they weren't able to do anything but talk to me over text, but it got me out of it enough to be able to sleep and, I've actually had a pretty nice week Tuesday onwards. Though I am a bit scared of getting like that again...

My guesses for what it was are a mild but prolong panic attack, something ptsd related, a strong but short-lived revival of depression, cruddy coping mechanisms, or some combo thereof.

Hey there @AM2Wondering *offering safe hugs*

It is really nice to have you here with us! heart

Oh, I am glad to hear that you have liked the boop. :)

I am sorry to hear that you have had such a rough start to your week. It is really awesome of you that you have been so strong and reached out to that friend of yours. I am really happy to hear that it has helped and you have been able to get some good sleep and you have had a nice week after that. :)

I understand that feeling of like anxiety when you do not know when you will feel bad like that again but I think it is important to note that even if you may do you do have that friend and, I am sure, many others that are out there and willing to help you to get out of that as well :)

Also, it is up to you, but it might be worth to bring it up with your therapist - or, if you do not have one seek professional help - if and when you may feel ready to do so but no pressure there you are alraedy doing a really great job reaching out for help to others. :)

Stay awesome! heart

How are you feeling today? :)
We have been fairly decent given our current circumstances.
How has this week been for you? Do you have anything you would like to share about it? :)

There hasn't been anything new this week. Things at home always get worse around this time of year. How about you? How has your day been? Anything new this week? How was your week?

Hey there @aiko123 *offering safe hugs*

It is always really nice to hear from you around here! heart

I am glad to hear that you are doing alright considering everything. :)

I am sorry to hear that this week has been so tough for you. Christmas is usually not the easiest part of my year either but it is going to be a whole new decade soon and I am kind of hopeful going into it. All that is left is to just get through Monday and Tuesday which will be crazy busy at work considering that it is the end of the year. Thank you for asking. :)

Stay awesome! heart
