Hi, @CheeryMango 😁 Thanks for this check-in thread!

Check-in Questions:

• How am I feeling today? (Mentally and Physically)

  I'm not doing that great, but I'm trying to manage. Physically, I feel great and everything, but some of my limbs hurt, but a lot. Mentally, I just feel icky, sad, and I'm in a ton of pain. It's just a loop that seems to repeat itself, but consistently. I'm quite drained.

• What’s taking up most of my headspace?

  I guess I think about how I could be better in life and then I stress about it later because to me it seems rather impossible to be better, especially when I just end up dwelling in my trauma. I dwell and I dwell and it seems like a never-ending reality.

• When did I last eat a whole meal?

  Last night, I had pizza for dinner.

• Am I tired?

  Yes, and I tend to feel drained of my energy.

• What will I engage in today that will bring me joy?

  I'm listening to music which makes me joyful.
  
  

  Some amazing lyrics:
  "It's okay to admit when you're wrong, and you're fake; It's okay to lose yourself when you make [a] mistake; it's okay to lose faith after [a] heartbreak; I can't say I'm perfect, if I did I'm lying to your face, I'm a liar, and I lie every day. I act like I'm fine but I ain't. Inside I'm dying and I pray, 'cause I'm only human yeah, what more can I say?" -Sik World.

  "All these things unsaid, you will never understand; you made me learn to hide the hurt I feel inside, like it's all a lie, and all these things unsaid, hold me hostage in my head. I don't know how to prove to you, It's not pretend, so I leave it all unsaid." -Citizen Soldier.

  "Deep in my mind, I'm living in fear; I always act like I know where I'm headed, but only if you knew that I always move throughout my life without a direction. I always thought I had to change my life until I realized I just had to accept it. Life is not happening to me, it's happening for me, and that is becoming the message." -Sik World.
  

It’s Honorable Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day I woke up excited. I wanted to do a stream on poetry for Dr. MLK Day but I am feeling tired physically.

The last wish of Dr. King is occupying my mind today “universal basic income.” This was His last wish.

I had a big breakfast.

My mind is willing but my body can not keep up today.

I am currently listening to “Colors” by Black Pumas and “Stop The Violence” by Boogie Down Productions

How am I feeling today ? A little down that the weather prevented me from travelling on MLK Jr day, a day of service so had to scramble to find service activity to be a part of.

Really feeling blessed is taking up headspace feeling like guilty that so many are struggling.

This morning was my last whole meal.

I am tired.

I will grab a children’s book and read and record for the children’s group I work with.

@CheeryMango

Hiya Mango! Good to see you again (^_^)

1) How am I feeling today (mentally and physically)?

Mentally, I'm so-so. I have moments where I go up and moments where I drop down, but there aren't really any drastic fluctuations. Physically, I'm still in recuperation. I'm better than I was last week, but my throat is still bleh.

2) What's taking up most of my headspace?

Caleb Hyles' cover of the song "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing", which is assisting in expressing/understanding my anger towards my abusers. (Warning: for those of you interested in looking up the song, it has some explicit lyrics.)

3) When did I last eat a whole meal?

A few hours ago; I had a big bowl of oatmeal topped with butter, cinnamon and maple syrup for breakfast.

4) Am I tired?

A little bit, yes. I'll be fine, though.

5) What will I engage in today that will bring me joy?

Quality time with at least one of my loved ones, and perhaps some time spent writing as well.

Thank you for the mental health check-in; I appreciate you! Sending endless love like the scattering of autumn leaves~ ♥️🍁🍂
