@krispykitty12 hi Brooke, nice to meet you.
@practicalIdeal2007 nice to meet you as well! Excited to work with everyone!
@krispykitty12 it takes awhile for me to trust new people. I hope that's okay.
Today I have been working on some grounding exercises and making some plans for future dates so I have something to look forward to. This next couple of months is always especially hard for me.
My goal for this week is to work on some ways to challenge some of the thoughts I have. I'm not sure what that looks like yet.

* what is one thing that caused you anxiety today? Lack of inspiration, I want to write more
* how are you today? I'm actually doing pretty good
* what is your goal for the upcoming week? Collect my notes for this week for my novel I'm working on.
@Rebekahwriter13 What's your novel about? Hope you find your inspiration this week!
@Kate
It's my second book in my vampire series. My vampire was a monk as a human and has moral issues with what he has become.
I have a few actors who inspire me, but I've been fighting exhaustion.

@krispykitty12
What are you writing about?
I'm writing about vampires.
@Rebekahwriter13 I
@krispykitty12 are you doing nanowrimo.org? It's hopeful goal of 50,000 words in 30 day I've been successful 6 out of 8 years, I've done it. This year 9.
I hope you can work your feelings and get your story out.
I have a paranormal, ghost hunter trilogy I'm working in which I twisted my life. I put that on the back burner because its been hard to process after the death of my ex.
My muses are really pushing my vampire, hopefully I can get some angry and stuck feeling through my stories.
@Rebekahwriter13 wow thanks! Also sounds really cool!
Hey everyone
just checking in
@NancySV1 great to hear from you :)
@NancySV1 Hi Nancy!
@krispykitty12
Hi. I'm doing ok today. My goal for this week is to try and have a better outlook on my life. Challenge my negative thinking.
@RedHawk6547 those are great goals! Let me know how they go! Have a great day!
- Trying to face some traumatic memories from the past I think. Had a really intense flashback Friday night and it kind of opened up some stuff that is relatively new to me. Trying to sort through it and make some sort of sense of all the stuff in my head.
- Im ok. I had some really good moments/times today 👏 & enjoyed some time with old friends. Yay! Also have intermittent times of anxiety and I dont know what else. Depression? Self-loathing? When trying to sort out some of the stuff from the past.
- My goal this week is to try to tell my therapist about the flash back summer things that I think might of happened. I know that the therapist was great and can help me but its so terrifying/disgusting/overwhelming to even think about talking about it. Especially out loud, verbally.
@pioneeringBanana1598 Im sorry to hear about the flashbacks :( I know they are hard. Telling a therapist is a great way to recieve help! Im so proud of you! Keep it up, you got this!
