Happy Thursday for you amazing people! We should be back to the original schedule next week but for now I am really looking forward to hear from you today. heart

How are you feeling today? :)

Do you have anything on your mind you would like to share? I would be glad to listen! :)

This last two weeks I have been off of work and I have decided to use this time to try to just recharge and relax and just do whatever I enjoy whenever I feel like it.

Some part of me, to this day, still feels like it is selfish, Self-care is selfish and all the time I spend doing nothing productive is just bad and I am just being useless. Of course, this part of me is wrong but still there.

It can be really hard to not listen to that voice tho and not push myself even through my limits. It is a skill to learn anyway and something that took me quite some time.

I mean, the point of me ranting is just to tell you that you are important, the most important thing in your life and if you ever feel like you need some time for yourself or just unwind it is totally okay to take some time off for yourself or to talk to a friend or reach out to someone.

You do deserve all the love, care, and support coming your way and you are definitely not bothering anyone or burdening people just by reaching out to someone and/or taking care of yourself. :)

What is your favourite way to just recharge a little bit and practice some self-care? :)

Of course, as always, there is absolutely no pressure on you to answer any of the above questions. If you would just like to say hi or sit with us for a while you are always welcome as well! :)
Also, we have a whole lot of safe hugs and materials - and the willingness - to build pillow forts if anyone needs it ^-^

How are you feeling today? :) I'm flustered and blah. Lacking energy and focus. I'm not sure if its from my anemia, depression or sleep apnea.

Do you have anything on your mind you would like to share? I would be glad to listen

I feel stuck and depressed where I'm living, and I'm noit sure how to get out of the situation

Hey there @Rebekahwriter13 *offering safe hugs*

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

I am sorry to hear that you are feeling like that. It can sure be because of the lack of good sleep but I can understand that depression is certainly is a big factor in it. I do have some things that work for me to certain extent - but of course we are different people, so it might not work for you - when I feel stuck. I always try to look back to just a month or two in my life, and just list every single achievement I have had and after that trying to make a plan for the future towards my goals - but with small goals, of course.

Also, every once in a while just forcing myself to practice some positive self-talk. It can feel weird but somehow just saying positive things to myself, even if I do not necessarily mean it, could actually have an effect.

I mean, either way tho, I just want you to know that no matter what, we are always here for you and do really hope for the best for you :)

Stay strong and awesome! heart

@redmark thank you for the reply.

I like the achievement idea.

My therapist even agreed on the positive talk. I plan to work on it.

I hope you have a good weekend.
