💕 I hope you stop listening to the anxiety and depression and for one second remember ‘no this is not true what I’m thinking... it’s the anxiety/depression’,
💕I hope the darkness doesn’t last too long,
💕I hope you remember the last time you were smiling and laughing,
💕I hope you remember that last difficult situation you got through and it made you stronger,
💕I hope you all know you can message here anytime and have lots of support.
P.S I miss all my friends on here... I hope you’re all able to come back soon and post knowing that we all have your backs 💕
Yes! We do have snow now! 😄❄👏But in a few weeks, I'll be looking for the flowers, the blossoms, and even the bugs. 🐞 Every season does have its beauty. 🌞❄🌸🍁
I’m not consistent either. There came a point when I only journaled when I was really angry or frustrated lol... so you’d see a lot of scribbles and hard dark fast writing lol 😂
We took 40 pretty nice pictures of it too. Sue and I will collaborate on a now rare post for me to combine a poem, pic & message. Hope you feel a better, 'cause you are an awesome person too!
We are. We're off to see my best guy freind in a few hours. We're scheduling visits to the Newport Aquarium, Cincinnati Museum Of Art z7 other friends of mine. My sweetie wants to see where I was born & raised as well as meet as many of my friends as possible. She also needs plenty of sleep. So, I'mt trying to meet as many of these factors as I can in our 6 day stay.
I liked it. LS is right, it is helpful and comforting. You are good at expressing yourself and helping others too. Have a really blessed day, my friend!
Yeah! I am going to save it & read it when I need some encouragement.
Wouldn't it be amazing if you guys* put your stories, poems, posts, photos, artwork into a book? It could be so encouraging and hopeful for people to read & know they're not alone. Y'all are amazing people.
Yeah same.. I changed ‘poems’ to other things because some people’s advice and words are amazing.. I always screenshot them to look at when I’m feeling low
You must be psychic my friend. My writing group is working on such a book now. We figure it will take a year from the beginning that was in December of last year. It's tentatively called, 'Beauty From Within The Shadows'. It features photos, art, sketches/drawings, mixed media art, essays, short stories, poems and a few other styles of literary works. I have written a special poem by that title too. Thanks for your kind words, my very good friend!
Hi, this is beautiful hope. I have been struggling with anxiety. Ive been taking meds for a while. But for some reason ive had anxiety when taking them , especially when the doc prescribes me new medications or put me back on them. Little things trigger my anxiety. I started having panic attacks in October out of the blue. I need some advice?
You should go back to the doctors if they are making you worse or if they’re not helping. Sometimes takes a little while for them to get the dosage right .
Things like exercising, diet, meditation can help.
Hey that’s okay x yeah so what I do is write to myself as if I’m a best friend who is feeling really low . I might share another one soon but basically it’s reminding myself of all my blessings even small ones like .. ‘I hope you remember that you love summer’
I am better yup thanks for asking not much better but I’ll take better! I keep wondering why it seems so out of the blue the moods someone mentioned having too much estrogen. Hmmmm
Hi, im dealing with anxiety, especially when taking my meds or if im being put back on them. Plus small things can trigger my anxiety? Do you have any advice? Are there any free apps on my phone that can help me or books?
Hey Alan that’s a helpful link! I have a podcast that tells you words and memories that make you happy. I listen to it every morning while I get me slap on getting ready for me class x pumps me up ... I walk in all happy as Larry me ! 🏃🏽♀️ 🌞
Haha good for you ,there’s loads of her self help audio books on you tube ....✊😁power of the universe stuff it works.....on good days enjoy your evening ....keep walking x
Thank you for your kind words. I hope you’re right. I feel so broken. This terrible rape I endured.. suffering silently.. daily. Ok .. so I got medical treatment .. humiliated myself in front of countless hospital staff members..while he’s gotten away with hurting me. Just like the last man. I’m beyond overwhelmed.. I’m living this surreal, secret dual life. On the outside is what everyone wants to see & on the inside is turmoil, anguish, a terrible storm. I hate my body, I hate my life, I’m exhausted from pretending to be okay. I’m not okay. 😢
Yes.. I went to the ER & rcvd medicsl attention. Thank God all tests were negative. I’m seeing a psychiatrist I trust & he’s increased my sessions. I had a friend that I confided in but sadly I lost her support last night as she had no patience with my cognitive problems from Fibromyalgia. You may have heard the term Fibro fog before. Sometimes I misspeak & unfortunately it doesn’t take much in trivial words to set her off. She holds grudges & stays angry st me for long periods of time no matter how much I profusely apologize to her & try to describe to her what Fibro fog is like & one can be easily misunderstood. A true friend would be patient, pardon & overlook things I have no control over. So I’m on my own now. Thinking about taking my psychiatrists advice & calling a hotline for support & help on how to cope. He’s a wonderful Dr but he’s an MD with limited experience with rape & trauma. I’m trying to hang in there but I seriously did not need her mean words she expressed to me at this very highly emotional sensitive time I’m enduring. I feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest. I’m so depressed & feel so alone. My eyes stay swollen from crying. I’m just really hating life & living right now. This day was plain awful. I pray that everyone is doing as well as they possibly can be. Gentle hugs 💜
Hmm I actually haven’t heard of Fibro Fog before sorry.. I will look it up tomorrow morning.
Well if friends leave then they just aren’t meant to be in the following chapter of your life. You deserve better friends.. as friends shouldn’t only be there at your highs .. they should also ride the lows with you
I think you should definitely call the hotline.. as it seems like you’re ready to talk now and maybe heal? You need someone who is trained to deal with these feelings you have x I hope it goes really well for you x lots of healing dust to you ✨✨✨✨
