OUR PETS ADOPT US!, they feel our hurt, pain and sadness and they lift us when we are down, and bring us smiles every day and to them we are their World,but without them our World would be so much harsher.
Dogs especially wouldn't care if we lived in a hovel or a castle for as long as they have us, its all they ever want or ask for.
Yes they become a tie and we give up a lot up for them, but they give us much more than we give them, but they are worth everything for what they bring to us.They are my raison d'etre and why i get up in the morning.
We as humans could learn so much from the animal kingdom ,for man is the most destructive force on earth, we destroy lives, not only lives of our own species, but lives of the animal kingdom as well.
When will we ever learn?
PS/ and as i just look out the window i see the most beautiful Rainbow ,a symbol of hope in the gloom of a drab morning.

Herman is my hero...he looks like a real Buddha sitting there like that, too. All our animal companions bring comfort and joy. They're certainly more theraputic than most humans these days. Namaste 🙏 🍄 🦔
I SEE you and acknowledge your beautiful soul, dolphin 🐬❣️... namaste 🙏🍄😉 🦔
Kinda went off unexpectedly 🤭on a therapy extension during my other reply... sorry 😬been a long week for me. It's my "Sunday" today. Back to work tomorrow ❤️
Very well said there's no quality of life without a relationship to my cat and all the animals that deserve better life and that kingdom created should be treated well. Well said !!!
These guys, my Haven in heaven 🌈 🌉 and hubby are the 4 reasons I'm still alive through 7 surgeries in 5 1/2 yrs. 4 spine fusions, both shoulders rotator cuffs a year apart, and gallbladder removed. My life has been riddled with the collateral damage of untreated mental health for decades. I'm almost 49 so 30 yrs for sure.
After the last year of gaining momentum in my GROWTH and EDUCATION about my disorders, I'm finally MATURING and finding my way home to my true self. This healing only comes from within. Nothing in society (broken and false idols) will save us. Buddhist principles are a lifestyle choice that I've committed to. Helping others, by default, will heal your 'self'. My last spine surgery was 4/15/22 when my Neck was fused at C4/5& 5/6.
That is why I educate myself daily about my conditions and bring that knowledge to others around me with the same mindset and passion for knowledge that are on the same page as me, looking for answers and help instead of being repressed and stunted in misery and trapped within closed 🔐 minds.
Ill say this now, just in case I've offended anyone from the forum due to the events of the last 2 days of having my posts edited behind my back, only because I lived in this looping prison of darkness and self hatred and punishment for decades. My mom died when I was 19 and I was stuck emotionally in 1994 until last year.
I finally broke the chains of inner imprisonment after TMS treatment saved my life when I was prepared to end it. To date, it's been $9000+ out of pocket in the last 14 months and counting. I'll happily pay forever for the stability it gives me from the unending pain of TRD and anxiety, maybe better med insurance coverage will be coming soon. My monthly appointment was yesterday. Believe me it was NECESSARY. I've been an anxiety wreck this week.
I'm a childhood sexual abuse victim from age 3, 4 yr history of substance abuse and addiction to meth and coke, smoked cigarettes for+15 yrs, ADHD, PTSD, GAD, panic attacks, SEVERE debilitating TRD with suicidal intention, body dysmorphia issues and borderline disordered eating habits, horrible self esteem...I am all of these things, and NONE of them.
Today I base my lifestyle choices on 3 pillars of health. Diet, Exercise and Sleep. Organic, whole foods. Zero ADDED SUGAR, no fast food, partly cuz I also lost my gallbladder during the pandemic. Couldn't eat anything from 7/2020 til 8/21 when it was removed after a year of diagnostic tests and failing health. Me and hubby are runners. We're outside with the dogs every single day. I walked with a walker and a cane from Oct 2016 until Dec 2018 after complications from my TWO L4/5 fusion surgeries 5 days apart. Hospitalized for a week when it was supposed to be ONE procedure and home the next morning. Drs said I'd never walk on my own again with the possibility id degenerate further. The only way I've recovered from all these physical spine problems and mental health challenges is because I followed my own plan of regaining my independence by changing EVERY. SINGLE. THING. I. DO!!! My daily life looks nothing like my past. I'm back to running 20-30 miles a week. Lifestyle choices... miracles only happen if you expect them to.
Our brains are far more powerful than we give them credit for. If our minds can imprison us without walls, imagine if we learned how to reframe and refocus that negative energy to cultivate positive outcomes....I'm running after 4 spine fusions... does that sound like a miracle?🤔🤫🤨
My diagnoses don't define me. "I" define ME. I get to choose what I become. I'm ADHD, but it's not me, I don't get to blame ADHD for my actions. I'm TRD, but TRD is not ME. TRD no longer gets to banish me to bed to sleep away my life in escapism. Society NEVER gets to define me. When I asked myself; what sane individual would model themselves after such a broken view of life and the world? It hit me like a ton of 🧱 bricks.
Healing comes from within.
This is the way. ~Mandalorian
Find a code to live by. Find your North Star, your North Pole, your guiding🕯️ light, the spiritual practice that speaks to your heart, it may not even be the "religion" that your family exposed you to at birth. I was raised Lutheran. Christianity doesn't "fit" with me, no organized religion does. That's MY path. Everyone has to forge their own way. Following others will only cheat yourself.
Be your own individual. Your own best friend and advocate. No one else can do it for you.

I think there’s something else other than anxiety going on here?
Help? How can I help myself more than I am now?
