[Starrlight]

My kids #1

The unexpected like this rhinoceros beetle - makes life more interesting to me to find new creations in nature

Signs that someone is looking after me ( angels God etc )

[Arymretep]

[Starrlight in reply to Arymretep]

Yes 😆 I’ll put another one so you can see it’s size compared to like a quarter or something.

[Dolphin14]

[Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14]

Awwwwwwwww!!!!!!! I wish I was in the water with the seal! So cute! Thanks

Guess what the bug is big like almost half the size of Toady and would claw at Toady if she tried.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Starrlight]

Wow.... that's one nasty bug.

The hope that if I continue to move forward and make some major decisions that I'll finally get to have a life. Signs that there is more to me than everything I've been through so far.

[Starrlight in reply to bluestars725]

Hope is so important. Be I believe you will see more better days until life is so much more of what you wish it to be. I was taking huge leaps forward snd now have a better life yet now snd stuck again in a place of sadness and fear at times. Sometimes it does feel like we are bad like our bad experiences but we deserve better and will continue to heal from our traumas. Let’s keep hope keep moving forward keep healing and allowing a better life in.

[bluestars725 in reply to Starrlight]

Well said!

[Starrlight in reply to bluestars725]

How are you doing today?

[bluestars725 in reply to Starrlight]

I’m doing okay. Tired and having a bit of up and down time with depression symptoms lately.

[Starrlight in reply to bluestars725]

Big hug!! I hear ya!!! Yeah same here

[bluestars725 in reply to Starrlight]

Thank you. Right back at you! It's frustrating. These ups and downs usually last about a day. Thankful that they are short and not full blown episodes, but it also makes it really unpredictable how I'm going to feel from day to day sometimes.

[Starrlight in reply to bluestars725]

Yes it’s hard I’m always afraid I’ll get a bad episode while I’m out at an appointment or something and will feel trapped but you know what we are stronger than we think and always get by alright. ❤️

[bluestars725 in reply to Starrlight]

I hope so. ❤️

[Starrlight in reply to bluestars725]

Yes bad things happen omg like tonight I have a ptsd episode that embarrassed me but I am practicing putting the thoughts in balloons and letting them go. Kind of helps. I mean in 5 years it probably won’t matter or bother me. Are you ok? Is there anything in particular going on?

[bluestars725 in reply to Starrlight]

That is a good way to look at it. I might start to use that 5 year philosophy. I’m okay, just dealing with some major life decisions ahead of me that are scary. Sometimes they trigger my depression and GAD.

[Starrlight in reply to bluestars725]

That makes sense. Me too and they trigger anxiety and ptsd for me. Let’s listen to our bodies listen to our thoughts what are we telling ourselves what do we need. What can we let go of? We will find the answers within ourselves. Ask questions. I bet you will make the best decisions cause you’re bluestars! 💙 ⭐️ ⭐️
