Starrlight, each day I am thankful for finally seeing the light.
Not the eternal light but in finally finding peace in my heart
and mind. How grateful I am to have Anxiety behind me. 
xx
I thought I was there then the anxiety came back and it’s making me so sad and in pain
Hi dear, Anxiety will always test us especially when we are at a low point
in our lives. Know that your inner strength, perseverance and the power of
your mind are always ready to take on what this entity gives. Do not allow
anxiety to take over your thoughts. Stop the thought before it escalates.
This is the only way to win. Review Affirmative Meditation on YouTube to
give you that boost you need. The symptoms may start to appear but breathe
through them, turn the switch off in your subconscious mind and let your healing
begin as many times as it takes. Anxiety will back off. You are in control xx
thank you beautiful Agora
Dearest Starrlight, hang on through the bumps in the road,
you will still get there maybe a little worn but Grateful xx
thanks that means a lot and gives me hope
Hope it eases soon.
Starrlight I have had a lot of ups and downs but along the way I gained experience and understanding for how things works. I may have bad days in the future, but I will still be better equipped for the successes I've had. I hope your difficult time passes soon, perhaps helped by your past experiences
I am thankful for my family, my super cute dog, the rainy weather today and moments of peace and calm I find when meditating
sounds perfect
My husband and dogs...& TMS. It is the main mental health treatment option that allows me to function as close to normal as possible. It's the only treatment that has ever provided me with remission from depression and anxiety. I do maintainence appointments every 4 weeks...but it's well worth it to keep my symptoms in check. STILL working out the kinks in my protocol after 15 months, but I feel that will be a work in progress from month to month for me.
Also grateful for medical marijuana and Psilocybin 🍄. Psychedelic meds are my friends. But they're not for everyone. Biological wiring is key to positive or detrimental outcomes. You don't know which you're going to be until you experiment. It's up to everyone to decide what they're comfortable trying for themselves, though.
What is TMS ? I’m trying out help oil with cbd and cbg and I’m finding improvements at first possibly now the effect is wearing off I have to have more
Transcranial magnetic Stimulation...I'll get back to you soon
I posted about my experience with TMS and Ketamine infusions for treatment resistant depression and anxiety last November. If you scroll back through my posts you'll find This one that describes what TMS is.
bespoketreatment.com/the-re...
I included a Link to the clinic I go to that has a TON of information about the kinds of TMS and what It does.
Post from Nov '22
Thanks!!!
Let me know if you have any questions. This treatment has saved my life in every way imaginable. I would not be here without it, I was done with living.
It's been 17 months of treatment and it's the only thing that's ever helped me stay stable for any length of time.
happy for you!
What I wrote in my gratitude Journal this morning. Yesterdays rain and cool down, visit to Wildlife Refuge, new series to watch, no pressure day, HU, HU friends message to me, my brother emailed me.
Also I would say I'm grateful for my health today.
good one, me too I was able to walk today im grateful
what series are you watching?
Based on a true story, the new Kaley Cuoco series on peacock..... I just finished Your honor last week, that was great.I'm running out of shows to watch. If you have any suggestions let me know. I've seen about everything.
Mayfair witches, the Anne Rice tv show was fun.
Anything Yellowstone, 1883, 1923...if u love strong women and 🤠 cowboys 🐄🐮
Not seen those..thank you
Hi Starrlight, I'm grateful for my family and definitely my cat. She helps so much, I swear she knows when I'm struggling. I don't feel like I should be grateful for my health bc I don't feel healthy. Anyway, 🫂 hugs

You gotta love animal companions, they can be so in tune with us. It seems like every single time I have issues with anxiety my little guy is right there trying to comfort me
in reply to EndUser13
Right! I admire them 😍
I don't know what I'd have done without my dogs in the last 7 years. They're the reason I get up every morning...and hubby, too 🐶🐕🐶👫
in reply to LifeIsThePitts
It's almost unbelievable how amazing they are right? Like today, i felt like shit and was isolating in bed and Gia made me get up, pet her, and feed her. It was great. My baby definitely gives me purpose. Thank you for sharing this 🙏 😺

They absolutely know what we need... sometimes better than we do.🐶
Starrlight in reply to
HiSwilly! Awww I’m thinking of getting a cat. What causes you to feel unhealthy? Maybe you can come up with a goal that will come to have you feel healthier?
in reply to Starrlight
Idk I just don't feel good today, lots of anxiety that causes it. I get stuck in my head. Thank you Starrlight 🫂
Starrlight in reply to
I hear you I totally get that. We will heal and be ok I think. I am so stuck in my head lately too. ((((((((((((Swilly)))))))))))))

Right this moment I am grateful for the rain it has been so hot today and I don’t cope well in the heat ⛈️
nice it feels like it will rain here soon
I'm grateful for a quiet house and that my husband went to the ER when his foot got badly infected. He is diabetic and I know he is in the right place.
good one a quiet house sounds nice. I don’t know what that’s like. I’m glad your husband is getting taken care of.
My diabetic partner has been through foot infections when they had to give him antibiotics through his heart so that it would pump them all around his body. He had both great toes taken off at different times but since then, no problems at all. The problem now is blood sugar going very high and suddenly very low. Since November there have been three hospitalisations, the latest being just under a week and now he is treating me very badly. He resents my "addiction" to my computer. I now have a smarter smart phone, so that's another issue. I am getting less and less time to myself now but at least he has his prescriptions that should last a while, as well as food that he said he wanted - well that was then .... today he wants something else. Quiet moments are priceless.
Chocolate ice cream cones! (Wish it was frozen yogurt.)
A day of help clearing clutter and cleaning up.
Half a night of sleep is better than none. 😊
chocolate! My fav! oh wow you are so positive on the half sleep is better than none so true!!!!!!! Niiiiice
Yep! More sleep for both of us tonight I hope.
I got to sleep super late but slept well How about you?
I collapsed in bed very early, and woke around 4:40 a.m. with the house full of smoke and a grey fog. Husband had turned on the fan before he left so I'd be comfortable. So now I've got a sore throat and headache. He meant well, but I hope he doesn't do it again. He doesn't remember things much better than I do.
Hagen daas butter pecan ice cream 🍦 is my All Time favorite 🤤
I am grateful for the immense amount of success I've been having in fighting panic disorder and working through the trauma that caused it.
good job! Keep it up!
You continue to inspire me with your progress and insights. Thanks for being here for me, as always 🍄🐾🌈 trauma healing is a hard fought battle. Progress can come in spurts and then nothing for an undisclosed amount of time. It's awesome to hear those that are on the positive side of the ledger 📒 cuz it's never too long before we're faced with the same ol song and dance 🩰
Thank you! I really appreciate your kindness, it means a lot to me 😍
Shrooms 🍄 for ALL
Lexa I’m so sorry to hear it. We are here to listen. Do you feel like talking more about it?
I don't know how I'd have survived the last 7 years without my dogs 🐶🐕🐶... they are my babies and my reason for getting up in the morning
I’m grateful for having Avery good night of sleep without any dreams last week
I'm grateful for my dog, he gets me out of the house daily.
I call it s.a.d. season...mine is mid Dec to end of March. I can HIBERNATE 🐻 like a Bear all winter ❄️🌨️☃️
Hello Starrlight , I hope you are fine,
I am grateful, even if I am not always good at saying it, for waking up every morning, having a job, being quite healthy, not having lost my mum, owning a boat, being able to speak several languages, being able to walk barefeet in the grass, being able to talk to people like you on this forum, hearing birds while they whistle, being loved by my wife, lobing my wife ...
Well, plenty of "meaningless" things for the most I think, but so important to me !
Talk soon,
Love from France
O
defidently meaningful and beautiful thanks for sharing what you are grateful for
I am in no way different to anyone else, and I do complain very often, would say my wife. But I try to keep those small gratefulness signs in mind.
I am grateful for life and my loved ones.
I am grateful for my family here and in Ireland and New Zealand and Canada. I am especially grateful for and to my brother Peter who has been given only 2-4 weeks to live xxx
oh no I’m soooooo sorry to hear about your brother. Saying a prayer for him and you and your family right now. (((((((((((Hug)))))))))))
Thank you Starr xx
love to you sweet one ❤️
I am grateful for my belief in God & the Pharmacist (not the bad rheums) who intervened & saved my life.
My whole family abandoned & turned against me when I became ill with severe sudden onset RA. Their goal being to get rid of me so as not to interrupt their wonderful lives….
I’m so sorry about your family wow that’s rough. I know how believing in God is helpful for some it’s helpful to me too. How are you feeling living with RA? What is RA? Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Yes, RA is rheumatoid arthritis - the body attacks itself/all organs & deforms the joints, very painful. I am in the USA - where there are a lot of bad drs (who are strictly in their profession for the money). Thanks for your kind reply.
((((((((((((((((((huge hug)))))))))))))))))
Hi Starrlight.....thanks for leading the pack in focusing on what we're grateful for. Sometimes it's hard to find those things when anxiety/depression seems to rule our lives. I am grateful for my husband, who stands by me through all the ups and downs, for my home, for having enough food to eat and a clean bed to sleep in every night. I also found an app that's been helping me relax and sleep better....it's called "Declutter Your Mind," and it is full of guided meditations. I think each of us has to find the things that work for us.....like creating a recipe of different ingredients. I've had a lot of trial and error along the way, and though I'm doing better, I know I'll keep searching for the things that can make my recipe the best. I'm back riding my bike a few miles every other day (can't go every day because of hip issues), but there's something about it that makes me feel strong. I've always thought if my body feels strong, it makes the rest of me feel stronger, too. I read a good quote yesterday by Confucius....."It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop." Blessings to you.....
I love that quote. I love how biking makes you feel strong. Thanks for the tip on Decluttee Your Mind. Thank you Blessings to you too 🙏 😊
I'm just grateful for being alive after 3 years of heart problems and a double cabg. X
It really puts things in perspective. I’m so happy you are ok. (((((((((Hug)))))))))
It's a long recovery but I'm getting there day by day.😄
You’re awesome!
I'm grateful to wake up in the morning to another beautiful day and know that i get to choose what I do with it. I'm also grateful for all the emotional and physical healing I have done and being able to enjoy being present more and enjoy life it's self and peace of mind. I'm also grateful for my family and friends and the time I get to share with them. Yes, life is good.
I’m so happy for you. You sound great!
I am, thanks!
I am grateful that my laptop is now working again. I am grateful for the moment of peace and quiet that the "disabled" loo in Sainsbury's Starbucks gave me. I am grateful for the smile and helpfulness of the girl behind the counter.
I’m also grateful for my device. And kind people.
And I am glad for these sunny days and for pine nut butter that turned my corn cakes into something else with tomato and cucumber (pepper & salt). I am glad that I am getting stronger, that my blood test looks ok and that I am not dying just yet.
yum! I’m hungry now
You have to feel it until you can learn not to. Things will change if you keep your spirits up.
Whatever it is, do it differently!
