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.

I’m so sorry you’ve gone through all those sad events @Anastasiya13 , it can be so tough to lose great friends and loved ones. Glad your job is going well so far. 😊 It’s so nice to see you here! Sending you hugs and love. 💞😘

[Anastasiya13]

@Sunnysmom  Thank you hon, I appreciate it. Yes the job was definitely a good change of scene, since I left back so much toxicity from the previous job, and its nice how they do little things here and there to show appreciation for the workers here.  ❤️ ❤️

That is alot to go through @Anastasiya13 It sounds like your doing right by making choices that are healthy for you 💗 You'll never forget the ones that aren't with you anymore, occasions like thier Birthdays are hard *hug* 💙

[Anastasiya13]

@CynthieLu  Thank you, I am trying. Yes so true, it never gets easier even as the time flies.

@Anastasiya13 They say the pain of losing someone comes in waves, at first it feels like we can't swim over them, that we're just floating. But the waves get easier to manage as time goes on 💙 they do hunny 💙

@Anastasiya13 I'm so sorry that life has been rough lately :(.  It sounds like you have A LOT on your plate right now but thank you for taking a minute to come join us!  During times when I've been struggling I've felt so much love from everyone here and it's made me appreciate this little corner of the world a lot more.  Please know that we all love you and we're here for you ♥️.

[Anastasiya13]

@CookieGirl1 Thank you very much. Its just been a lot at times, and just trying to look on the bright side, but its been a bit draining. Thank you, I appreciate your kind words ❤️

[CookieGirl1]

@Anastasiya13 hang in there, girl 🙂

@Anastasiya13 ❤️🤗

I love the looks that you have posted on IG. I’m sorry about your old job and friend but glad you are starting fresh and getting to know your worth. 

[Anastasiya13]

@SportyGirly125 Thank you hon, I appreciate it. I am loving my new job so far, and its funny how the little things they done to show us appreciation already, and honestly it feels amazing and shows I made the correct choice. ❤️

I feel like I've been having trouble lately. Everything just feels like too much work. Most of my plants are dying because taking them out to the yard to water them feels annoying and too much work, and I love having plants. I find myself dissociating a lot through reading and just going through the motions. I haven't posted much lately because makeup just hasn't been fun and I haven't felt motivated. I don't feel sad just kind of unmotivated and "meh". I know a big part of it are my shi--y sleep schedule and even more terrible eating habits so I need it together. A good friend and I also just "broke" up (she ghosted me) and my other friend moved away, so I'm all alone in my small city (it's more like a town) and it's hard to meet new people. I know I need to put myself out there, even if it means driving further for activities, but again- motivation is seriously lacking. I know things will improve but right now I'm just in a slump.

Oh no, I'm so sorry! I have been where you are at and it is no fun. Sending positive thoughts your way. Going out feels daunting and last minute thoughts of "NOOO" hit before stepping out the door but it could be a positive experience. I hope you get out of this funk soon and have a good time when going out. Big HUGS to you! @makeitup305 🤗❤️

[makeitup305]

thanks so much @Buootiful ! Same to you ❣️

[lmaster]

@makeitup305 sweet beauty!!! I'm so sorry your friend did that!! Meeting new people is so hard these days!! I do understand your feelings so much!! Positive vibes for you to overcome this 🥰

[makeitup305]

Thanks @lmaster . I wish it had ended differently but it's probably for the best. Thanks for the kind words!

[curlychiquita]

I'm sorry to hear that, @makeitup305. I understand how you feel. I've been though times when I've dissociated from life and feel like I'm just observing it. I hope things get better soon! 💗

[makeitup305]

Thanks @curlychiquita . I've been reading a lot of fantasy novels which help cheer me up and once it cools off here I'm going to try and go out more.

[CynthieLu]

@makeitup305 losing a friend and than another one right after from ghosting, that sounds painful. You definitely deserved more than that. Going through hard times is the worst *hugs* I hope you feel more like yourself soon 💗 

[makeitup305]

thanks so much for your kind words @CynthieLu 💛

[Kim888]

I’m sorry to hear you’re having a hard time @makeitup305 ! Making friends as an adult is so hard and it’s especially hard when people just ghost for no reason! 

Hopefully things will be a little easier in the fall. I find people tend to be a bit busy/flighty in the summer before settling down for more winter hangouts ! 

[makeitup305]

@Kim888 It's hard to meet people since I don't have kids and most people my age in my area do. Plus, I don't work in an office so that's not an option either and there isn't that much to do where I live. Once it cools off I'll try to find a hiking group or something like that.
