compassionateOak202's One Line A Day Thread
Hi, you can simply call me Oak while I still carry this username 😄! I'll be joining the One Line A Day challenge! Feel free to comment your support or anything as I journal throughout this thread!
So here is my first entry to start it off 💖:
03/31/23
Today, I got to finally spend some longer hours with my long distance partner after several months. We watched a movie together!
04/01/2023
I will pray today for my online friend of his grandmother's recovery, as well for his family. I hope he'll be okay.
04/02/2023
It turned out that my online friend’s grandmother sadly passed away yesterday. I’ll continue to be there for him for support.
@compassionateOak202 sorry to hear of their loss. My granddad also recently passed away, being there for your friend is very appreciated and important.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
Thank you so much. I'm glad to be there for him. And I'm also sorry for your loss! I lost my grandfather too back in 2021. Hopefully time will heal. I send you my virtual love and support ❤️
@SoulfullyAButterfly *hugs* sending lots of love and strength your way!🦋❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou thank you Sun! Hugs back

I'm learning more exercises that'll help me prevent from having anymore setbacks during my recovery. I've also been enjoying in participating the Mindfulness Open Discussions here at 7cups!
04/04/2023
I almost attempted to end my life again over a small mistake. It was terrible. But the situations' been averted now.
@compassionateOak202
I am so glad you were still here! You have helped me quite a bit just in a few days that I have 'known' you. I would be very sad if you weren't here.
@adaptableOcean4193 Awww, thank you so much for your kind response ❤️. I’m very glad to meet you here as well. It was good that I was finally dissuaded by both my sister and my partner over the phone call as they witnessed my crisis. I’m just exhausted now. Hopefully I’ll be better soon.
@compassionateOak202
I hope you will be able to rest a while.

I felt better today. I spent time with my partner online, joined another mindfulness discussion group session, and attended my support group meeting, although it lasted half an hour due site's downtime and less participants.
"...due to* site's downtime and less participants" agh. 😫
@compassionateOak202
I'm sorry I missed it and 'seeing' you there
@adaptableOcean4193
awww, no worries Ocean! Missed seeing you too. You can still catch up to another meeting tomorrow Thursday at 5pm! Or click here to see the whole schedule. :)
@compassionateOak202
My brain is still getting all these things I need to do together in some order. Thank you for the reminder of times so I can hopefully not miss.
04/06/2023 (even though it's already midnight on the 7th lol)
Very late entry, but my day was okay overall! Weather is still chilly from where I live. I was able to ask my mom if I could try to seek out a therapist this year.
@compassionateOak202
I hope that you are able to get that therapist. I had been looking for one for a year and a half but never was able to find one who took my insurance and I can't afford a one-on-one on my own. I do find being here helps a lot and I hope it helps you also
Thank you. And yeah I’ve also had a lot doubts of looking for one when I’m currently unemployed. But ever since my recent breakdown, I’m considering of just trying out 1 month of therapy they offer here since the price seems reasonable compared to paying weekly or per session. I don’t like getting out of my apartment anyway 😖.
@compassionateOak202
Having worked in the field for many years I can tell you what they ask here really is more than reasonable. That is generally what one 1-1 session for an hour starts at. I'm not sure how they do theirs here but it is probably worth a try. I don't know her different people are from but perhaps there is a form of insurance you are eligible for? That could be helpful. I'm sorry I missed you again today. I believe I was sleeping. Long day of OT and Medicaid rides not showing up. It's become laughable at this point, as well as frustrating. 🙄
Thanks, I’ll update an entry here or elsewhere once I do check it out for myself!
And awww, no worries. I’ll still be here! I also do my best to show up in the discussions more frequently since I’m always looking forward to learning things that would be helpful for me too. Anyway, hang in there! Hopefully the next day or so will treat you better. ❤️
@compassionateOak202
I am also a bit introverted and don't care to get out a whole lot but having been away from friends for much of the time during COVID, and in the hospital for 7 months at the tail end of that and now being mostly homebound it's a bit lonely. I'd like to get out a little more. My poor doctors, occupational/physical therapists and Medicaid drivers probably wish I would too! I talk their ears off😂
04/07/2023
Felt sad for a moment during the day, but was later comforted by my partner as he listened. We got to watch some more Judge Judy episodes!
04/08/2023
I am reminded today that I am grateful for my recovery program which has helped me renewed my faith with God. My spirituality has been growing since.
