Morning Check-In

@MissGremlin

My eyes feel tired

My brain feels foggy

But my best friend is doing better today and may be moved to a general ward soon

@avant-garde i hear you sweet, sending you hugs ❤️.

I'm really glad to hear that your best friend is doing better.

@MissGremlin

Feeling pretty worthless and lonely

hey @avant-garde i can see that you mentioned your friend is doing better a few days ago, is she still doing okay? i know it must've been hard for you, pls know we're here for you 💙

also read about your idea for the newsletter article - that would be amazing, it would really help others too.

hope you're being gentle with yourself, you deserve kindness 💙

@rav3n

She had surgery last night and is doing better today

I'm missing her

I reached out because so much of my life feels in flux and wanted someone stable just to touch base with me.

So I'm doing my best but I feel worthless and slightly angry

@avant-garde so glad to hear she's doing better!! 💙

ugh that sucks that they spoke to you in that way, especially in a time where you really needed them most. his words/response doesn't reflect your worth, but i do get that it still hurts to hear it. you deserve better than that 💙

@rav3n

@AuntGlow said it's normal that I would need more support and connection right now, why don't people in my real life see that?

it absolutely is normal @avant-garde and it sucks that you've had to doubt that!!

is there something that you could say/do to help you feel seen? 💙

it doesn't necessarily have to involve them, it could be something you do for yourself too (i.e. writing, creating something, listening to music, etc).

I started a jigsaw puzzle and now listening to my latest audiobook
