I posted about this before so if you’re interested please look back at that post.
My ring arrived and I LOVE it 💕

I’m getting one on my other wrist! I’m so happy you know about this! I really want to spread the word. Sometimes actually holding something that represents our illness makes us more grounded; like, we have a “label” or “symbol” for it. I’m not doing good with explaining what I’m trying to say lol
I love my necklace too! My Dad got me healing crystals so we can each hold one with us to connect spiritually and rubbing the crystals decreases anxiety.
Awesome and classy as usual my friend. Do you do anything that's not awesome and classy? I shouldn't even ask....I know better....My classy friend, have a blessed day! Hey your other friends are talking on our line right now....
YES!! I’m so excited for you! Don’t get discouraged if it takes a while to deliver. I think they had so many orders at once. When you get it, you gotta let me know!
I was thinking on the inside of my wrist as well. Somewhere I will see all the time but doesn't seem like I'm begging for attention over it. (Not that I feel that anyone with it is begging for attention but I have unfortunately heard comments like that before and it's a level of negativity I'd like to avoid) Also, you talked me into it, I ordered the ring after seeing your post last night! 😁
Yay!! I’m so excited you ordered it. I told someone else don’t get discouraged if it takes a little while to arrive. I think a lot of people are ordering for the holiday. And I have a lot of tattoos. Don’t worry what people say. If they mean something to you, than go for it! Mine all mean something special ☺️
I have 3 tattoos currently and it's not so much that I care what people think, but criticism is one of my biggest triggers for anxiety/depression. It's a weird thing to know that I dont care what strangers think of me and yet it sets off something deep inside that I can't control when they say anything negative to me. (Anxiety is such a weird disease!!!) I am super excited about my ring, and I got a necklace too. I've been wanting them for a while, I'm a big supporter of the project. I love that it's a solid yet subtle reminder of where we've been and what is still to come 😀
You literally explained that perfectly. That is exactly how I feel to T! I’m extremely sensitive to people being mean to me. I wish I could brush it off but I get really upset. So I understand where you’re coming from.
And I got the necklace too! I love it. It’s just cool. It actually means something to us.
Even as a kid I was super sensitive to criticism, even the nicest most constructive kinds. It led to a ridiculous level of perfectionism and this now feeds into my depression as well. Logically I know I'm a good person deserving of the best life has to offer, but emotionally is a whole different story. I can do 10 things perfect in a day but I will focus on the one "less-than" moment for hours. It's frustrating. I'm hoping that having this ring will help. I actually see it two ways... The way it was meant, as in my story isn't over yet. But also as a separation point between my past and my future, a turning point of sorts in my story, if you will. So when I have that "wtf" moment I can look at the ring and be like "well, I'm on the other side of that now" and try not to look back.
I have been very sensitive since I was little too. I think sensitivity plays a huge role in our illness. And when someone is mean, we stir and get anxiety which leads to depression.
I love how you’re looking at the ring in such a positive way. You’re very good at explaining feelings. Everything you say, I’m like “that makes so much sense.”
Thanks. Its one of the few good things to come from this lifelong illness. I've had lots of time to think and try to put words to it to help others understand what I feel. It's taken many tries (and unfortunately many failures) before I started finding ways to make it relatable to people without our struggles.
Once upon a time I was even studying to be a behavioral counselor. Ironically, my anxiety (along with some family issues at the time) caused me to drop out. Mental illness, heh? 😌
Well you are very good at it. I like to research articles and really dig into the statistics, the stories, coping mechanisms and more. I just want to understand it better because there has to be a reason why we were chosen to live with this illness. We are the chosen ones 🧝♀️🧝♂️ Lol
