I am very drained, depressed, and kind of feel useless. My boyfriend's ex has been making feel bad, but she broke up with him. I picked up the pieces and she is trying to make him feel bad. I feel like I have to pick up the pieces again.
2. What is a goal you want to accomplish in July?
I wanted to work on a few writing projects and exercise more.
3. Would you rather be able to talk to animals or speak every language?
Talk to animals, I rather have pets than kids.
4. Is there a quote that inspires you? I'd love to hear it!
I cannot remember right now my head is all over the place
@fairyava I love the puppy picture❤ I am having difficulties with my mental heal and well being but I will be fine. One goal wish to accomplish next month is taking my exam for my chosen profession and find employment in the healthcare field. I would probably want to be able to talk to animals more than being able to speak every language, my brain would explode! Lol. I don't have a favorite quote that inspires but I am always looking for thing's to be inspired from.
Not too good.
2. What is a goal you want to accomplish in July?
Being stronger than my trauma
3. Would you rather be able to talk to animals or speak every language?
Animals! People are too unpredictable in my mind.
4. Is there a quote that inspires you? I'd love to hear it!
This storm too shall pass and there is a rainbow waiting for us on the other side :)
Hope you are all doing well :)
Sorry, didn't mean to put it in bold!
@CalmCoral
Hey there! I can edit your post to make it not bold if you want - just let me know 😊
Hello! I'm new here. I signed up for 7cups several months ago, but haven't really been active on it. You know how sometimes it can feel like even thinking about your mental health or trauma is too draining? That's where I've been. But I don't think I'll ever be able to heal if I don't try, so this is me giving 7cups a chance, I guess. 1. How am I doing? I've been better, but I've also been worse so I can't complain. 2. A goal for July? I'm a senior in college & I'm writing a senior thesis, so my main July goal is to make an annotated bibliography and narrow down my research questions. 3. I'd love to speak every language. I'm hard of hearing, so learning spoken languages is hard for me. I've been trying to learn French for a year, but the pronunciations and spellings make no sense to me. 4. Lately I've been thinking about a quote from St Julian of Norwich: "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well."
Hello I am new. Seeking to escape my household and proverbially running for my life. Currently in school for IT and planning to join the military when finished. “Manipulative narcissistic mom, covert.” Praying for her but also running from her. :D 1. How are you doing? Okay. Planning my exit from the household. Remembering to forgive and let go when my mum (dubbing Cruella) abuses me and go grey rock so she can’t try and manipulate the details of my life. Finding refuge in the Rosary and exercise, as well as rekindling a relationship with my father and brother, which she actively discouraged even to the point of trash talking my dad and trying to block my brother from me. The biggest difficulty is letting the anger go and allowing her to think she’s right/won. A smug narcissistic manipulator is better than a threatened one (as long as you aren’t compromising yourself to do it) and until I am out and stable I am walking a line between covert grey rock and standing in the gap for my other loved ones against her/family defense. 2. A goal I want to accomplish in July is: obtaining my Security+ Cybersecurity certification so I can get a job and join the military and escape and be stable. 4. “It is the courage to continue that counts.” And “Fear not for I am with you; do not be dismayed; I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you, and uphold you with My right hand of justice.” Isaiah 41:10 and Jesus I trust in you.
