Health and Sanity Check-Ins

[sprocketta]

Things are crazy now. I think we are all trying to stay healthy and maintain sanity as well. I thought I would start this thread so folks can check in and discuss how they're doing. I want all my BIC friends to be okay. I will kick this off with a first post. Take care of yourself lovelies.

@Mush21 Enjoy your well deserved break. Spunds like you are on a great path! 🥰

Good for you, @Mush21 ! 💖💖💖  I tried college right after HS, but it didn't work out.  I went to work, but eventually went back to college part-time in the evenings when I was in my 30s and 40s.  I'm actually glad I did it that way because I learned so much just from real life experience and my job(s)!  It made me a much better student.

hi @Titian06 🙂

That’s great to hear! Everyone is different in how they learn and develop, it’s great that our educations can be customizable ❤️

I’ve had peers of all ages in my university courses, and it’s so interesting hearing about everyone’s life experiences 🙂

I wish you all the best and all the happiness!!

Wishing everyone a good start to the school year whether you're a student, parent of a student or a life-long student of beauty 🌸

@pocketvenus Thank you! It is an adjustment for the parents too! Wishing you all of the best also!

Thought I would give an update since I dont come on here that much anymore. Guess I been down and just not feeling motivated enough to come on here or even post/do make up as much. I finally left my old job and got a new one. I realized how toxic the other job really was, especially after how they treated me when I was sick, and just all the negativity of that job. I sadly had to cut ties with one of my good friends, which saddens me a bit, but honestly its for the best. I feel like after taking so much grab from people and being a punching bag, I am ready to start more fresh, and get to know my own worth. Its a bit lonely at times, I still miss my best friend who passed, and wish they were here of course. Also miss my grandma too, her birthday is actually coming up this Friday, wish she was here. Honestly I feel like I just need to destress, relax and just get strong in a sense.

@Anastasiya13 That is good your made some changes to improve your well-being. You deserve to be trwated fairly. I hope things get better for you. Take care 🙂💕

[Buootiful]

I'm so glad you are doing better 🤗 @Anastasiya13 ! I love that you are out of that toxic job and have a better schedule. Have you decorated your cubicle yet? 🙂 I know how hard it is to cut ties with someone. I'm so sorry for the fallout with your friend but you need to do what is right for you. I hope you have happier times and get to see more of your beautiful face on here ❤️.

[Anastasiya13]

@Buootiful  Aww thank you. Makes two of us for the better job, and schedule. No not really, honestly I dont know what to put really. Only think I have in there is a picture of me and the bf in san Fransisco, and a set of three fake skull succulent plant things which were super cute. Other than that I don't know what to really put or do for it. Thank you, its said about my friend, but honestly I know I did nothing wrong, and was just honest with her and watching out for her, if she is going to be acting that way all I can say is good luck to her, and I wish her the best. Aww thank you, I will try to come here more often. Miss seeing/talking to some of you girls.

@Anastasiya13 good for you for leaving your old job. It's hard to let go (even when something sucks) and even harder to start over. Be kind to yourself and do things that make you happy, even if they're small. My deepest condolences on your loved ones, I miss my grandma a lot, too. Lots of hugs to you in your new path 💕

[Anastasiya13]

@makeitup305  Thank you, I appreciate it. It was hard to let go, but honestly after some of the mistreatment and disrespect I reached my limited and just hated the management, so it was best to leave. Thank you I am trying, but this week has been pretty hard on me, but trying to stay positive somehow. Thank you once again I appreciate it ❤️

[faeriegirl]

I’m so glad you are getting a fresh start @Anastasiya13 . We spend way to much time at our jobs to stay in a toxic environment. I hope everything gets better!

[Anastasiya13]

@faeriegirl  Thank you, I appreciate it, and yes tell me about it, my work schedule used to be horrible 6:30-8:15 am and than 1pm-6:30 pm Monday through Friday, so this has been a big change and for the better. Most importantly I still get to help people.  thank you I appreciate it. ❤️

[pocketvenus]

@Anastasiya13 These are some huge changes and change is always unsettling even when it's for the better. Ending a close friendship is also really tough but good on you for setting boundaries for yourself 🙂 Wishing you all the best in your new job!! And lots of r and r ❤️ 🏝🍹

[Anastasiya13]

@pocketvenus  Yes, I agree change good/bad is always unsettling but just got to try and keep a positive mind set no matter how hard. Yes the worst is ending a close long term friendship, but as they say it is what it is, I got tired of being a punching back, and like I told them I felt like they just wished bad for me. Thank you I appreciate it, and oh yes, r and r sounds amazing ❤️

[lmaster]

@Anastasiya13 you're a strong intelligent human!! I commend you for taking these steps to cut ties with whatever or whomever does not appreciate your worth!! 💗💗

[Anastasiya13]

@lmaster  Thank you, I appreciate it. Its so hard to cut ties with people who I've know for so many years, but its for the best, and same with the work environment, most of my jobs I stayed for many years, or as long as the company stayed open, so it was hard doing a leap and not knowing how it would turn out. 

[tsavorite]

@Anastasiya13 ,

I hope that things will be much better in your new job! Good for you for making a new start! 

A lot of us are going through some lonely times, missing our loved ones and friends who have passed.  Sending you hugs! 

You are not alone!  

[Anastasiya13]

@tsavorite  Thank you I appreciate it. Thank you, I needed to hear/read that. Its a rough time, in a few ways, just trying to get on the right path in a sense, and in a sense trying to figure out how.....I cant even find words for it, but I guess to communicate, or express myself without some people. I dunno if that makes sense, but thank you

[curlychiquita]

I'm sorry your last job was so bad, @Anastasiya13. I'm glad you left. Good luck in your new job! 🍀

[Anastasiya13]

@curlychiquita  Its sad, because the job itself would have been good if not for the management. Thank you, I am happy I still get to help people out at my new job
