Hello you lovely people out there! yes you! dont go looking over your shoulder wondering if Im talking about LOL How have you been? Whats happening in your world? I'm sitting here thinking, this is going to be a good day!!! The sun is shining, I am actually feeling awake enough to do this check in post! whilst listening to one of my favourite songs right now called Human by RagNBone man :) So how are you going to ensure you have a good day for you? What is one thing you can build into your weekend, that allows you to have some sense of enjoyment or fun? Fun can be very therapeutic!
Healing from traumatic experiences is one of self discovery and personal self growth, where you can rediscover who you are, and grow into that strong survivor that you are. Sometimes you may even question why you are bothering, is it worth it. YES, it is! Because your worth it. This space is yours, to share whats happening in your world, to say Hi, to let us know if you need some extra support, to share the good days, bad days and inbetween days. This is a safe and supportive daily checkin space for our members. Remember to be kind to yourselves, and take some time out for you if needed.

I miss chatting on the group chats here. I don't know what happened last night. ;3; Did my rep go down due to a troll I had or what?
The ones I knew made me happy. And I can't be seen after typing a message. Think it's a penalty. ;;
@Pikashuppet If you have an issue with being seen in group chats or worried about your account in anyway please think about emailing 7 cups at community@7cups.com explaining what the problem may be and they may be able to help you sort things out
@dancingRainbow45 Did last night. I hate waiting for replies that take over a day.
@Pikashuppet Hi Pikas the tech team will hopefully resolve your issue soon. Top then I wish you could just wait and may be check the forum link sent by DancingRainbow34 below. There is some interesting discussion there as well.

I've been doing homework all day. Except for the breaks I've been taking when I can't focus anymore. I'm down to only 19/39 assignments left that are due tomorrow though! So I'm like half done I guess! I like that song you listed. I've been listening to an eclectic playlist. It's got random stuff on it like: Down - Marian Hill, Cake - Flo Rida & 99 Percent, Easy Go - Grandtheft & Delaney Jane, Ride - twenty one pilots, Rockabye - Clean Bandit, Water Under the Bridge - Adele, Scars to Your Beautiful - Alessia Cara, Issues - Julia Michaels, Body Like a Back Road - Sam Hunt, it's just a bunch of random stuff 
@BeeLeigh Hey Beeleigh you are almost half way through the assignments and you have another day to complete the rest of the half. I am sure you will finish it up soon. Taking breaks is essential else is becomes too monotonous and ofcourse like you said it's difficult to continuously focus. But you have pretty long playlist ready to give some relief in between too. Great. Keep it up.
@BeeLeigh Well done on taking the breaks and achieving what you have managed to do so far, it sounds like quite a workload for you. The song is good isnt it, there are more of his on youtube if your interested :) There are some great songs with great lyrics and it sounds as though for you music is quite important as you have quite a playlist there :)
@dancingRainbow45
Yeah music is pretty much all I have. I actually bought that song and added it to my playlist :)
@BeeLeigh Oh wow. its a good one :) Music can be so therapeutic for so many people but its also wise to be mindful not to put on sentimental songs or poignant songs that could lower your mood if your having a rough time. Sometimes it pays to do the opposite and try and lift it. A lot of survivors find they kind of lose themselves in music and it can be incredibly cathartic
@dancingRainbow45
Definitely! I can't focus if there isn't music in the background! I don't know what it is, but distracting my brain is the only way I am able to ever get anything done. Even sleep. I put on Netflix or I can't sleep.
@BeeLeigh haha I can identify with that as I also go to sleep with music or TV on and would struggle in silence :)
