Something good about you

[Starrlight]

I’m struggling with anxiety and depression as I’m sure many of you are and I am making some bad choices, feeling like right now this community is my only outlet that listens and loves. I just cannot talk to family right now. The only thing I can think to help is Let’s Love ❤️ Ourselves.

What do you love about yourself? What have you done Right lately?

I love that I show my kiddos a pure beautiful love.

I love that I am determined

I love that I am creative

I am a good problem solver

I have made it this far... let’s keep going!

I love my tenacious spirit and ability to rise above circumstances. I love that people see strength in me that I don't always see in myself and I am willing and flexible to accept the perspective of others, often. I love the friends who love me, support me, encourage me in spite of all my challenges. I love the fact that I have finally found my voice now if I could only find the confidence to finish my manuscript.

I love the sanctuary of these communities online within HealthUnlocked and the many wonderful friends I have met here who trust me with the insights gleaned in and through their own evolving journey of resiliency. You all give me hope to carry on.

I don't hear at all from my surviving sibling and it has been a deep hurt in the past - but you all have become siblings in a way that I can't really put in words without tearing up.

Never doubt the impact you are making when encouraging each other.

[Starrlight in reply to PNIAuthor60]

(((((((Hug))))))) sorry for your pain. I love the things you listed about yourself. I love what you say about impacting by encouragement.

[PNIAuthor60 in reply to Starrlight]

Appreciate the hug and your understanding and the opportunity to focus and share some good things about myself.

I love that I try my best to be compassionate and kind.

I love that I’m making a real effort to be a better person - I’m working a 12 Step program, I’m trying to do my part to improve my relationships with people in general and my bf in particular.

[Starrlight in reply to Kat63]

You are amazing, Kat! I’m cheering you on! ❤️

I love that you let me have Starrlight in my pocket when I couldn't go it alone the other day.

[Starrlight in reply to BoboMum]

Awesome! How are you today my friend? I think you are amazing.

[BonnieSue]

Great post! I love the positivity!

What I love about myself: I simply love me for being me. I love my openness to new things and willingness and even excitement at learning new skills, new arts, new everything! I love my willingness to be very forgiving, being quick to do so. I love my humility...oooops! ...guess I have to work on that one! 😜 I'm very blessed that JEG is so patient with me. Evidently I require a LOT of patience in someone very close to me. Not really a surprise. 😏

[Starrlight in reply to BonnieSue]

Nice BonnieSue! You’re fun too.

[kenster1]

[Ddorne]

Hi Starrlight, I love that I am forgiving and forgiven. I love that I have faith in God. I love my family even though they don’t always understand me.

I love realizing that it really will get better and it’s taken me a hell of a long time to realize that. Let us help you thought with whatever “bad choices” you refer to.

[Starrlight in reply to abbeyainscal]

Sometimes I feel like I sabotage myself. Nice to know things will get better. It’s hard to see that.

[Nom-D-Ploom]

I can write. I have had my writing published by several companies. One song made the regular rotation in some states.

I am good at sewing.

I have a very high IQ.

None of the above seems that impressive.

I like everybody else's answers better.

[coolkitty1934 in reply to Nom-D-Ploom]

what do you mean?id say having a book published is pretty dang cool!

[JW621]

I work best under pressure. I try to keep my thoughts very simple. I know in reliable when needed to be. I try my best to manage my time. When I don’t, I loose myself and find myself behaving poorly and making the wrong choices. As a adult with adhd. I know I can deliver when we need to be. Keep strong !

[JW621]

It’s funny when I try hard to be strong I am more weak than ever. But when the pressures on. My best characteristic comes out. I wish I can be this strong when things are at a plateau. Why do I only act when I’m in a oh shit situation.

[Starrlight in reply to JW621]

I know what you mean. I get too comfortable sometimes. I try to more forward like you, keep strong under pressure. Sounds like you thrive under pressure.

[JW621 in reply to Starrlight]

I do but then when I hit a plateau. I also lose

Myself. Not perfect

[WaterMyMind]

I know it’s been a long time since you’ve posted this, but I wanted to participate too:

I love that I am creative

I love that I can bring laughter to others

I love that I am smart

I love that I have survived every difficult period I have faced so far

[Starrlight in reply to WaterMyMind]

I love it … you are beautifully created.

[WaterMyMind in reply to Starrlight]

Thank you!

On the last point, I’m working on someday being able to turn it into “I love that I am thriving”. I do love that I have been able to survive, but just surviving weeks and months at a time of deep dark depression and anxiety many times throughout the year isn’t something I want to do for the rest of my life.

[Starrlight in reply to WaterMyMind]

I hear you! You can do it.

[WaterMyMind in reply to Starrlight]

Thank you!!!
