Take one moment

at a time. We can’t do the future yet so we need to stop worrying as we will get all we need for that in time, we already did the past, so be here in the now. It will give peace knowing we are where we need to be.

Let’s look carefully at this moment and find something to be grateful for:

Friends here who understand

Some important things that have worked out telling us we are safe and things will work out again. Keep hope.

Chill seriously just let relaxation take over ,as we heal

Being alive, and having air in my lungs. :)

Yes! It’s a gift.

I needed to hear this, so thank you! I'm grateful that I have lots of support from my church, husband, and family. I am safe (this is one of the flashcards I made for myself).😊😊😊😊

Awesome! Yes we are safe and no matter what happens, God is in control and I believe the angels help keep us safe in this messy world.

Your beautiful post. There's no comfort for me in it.

I'm an outsider, with no chance to find comfort, even here among those who understand.

I have not gotten the basics I need in the past, so I know I can't expect them now. No peace. Only fear. Only dissociation.

This moment, as all others:

No living, breathing friends.

Posts on a computer screen don't hold you when you cry.

I'm suffering in my house. The heat is in the 90s and I can't fix it. It's making me physically ill.

The violence that defines my life never stops.

I can't calm myself. My mind is too damaged.

The moon? My mind isn't well, I don't understand, I'm sorry.

Okay... Poetry. I think you want me to try to distract myself. I hurt so much...

But I'll try. Thank you.

Not what you're looking for?
