Hey everyone,
I'm a bit of a newbie here and find saying the good things about me, or things I've achieved really difficult. I was told to go here as a task on point 9 or 10 of the very first level. There is one thing I haven't really understood, what is the teacup (and it being half full, nearly full, and full) means, or why it is there. Help for that would be great! Reply to this, or private message me -and I'll attempt to work out a) how to find out that someone has done so, and b) how to find the response/message and actually read it!

This website place has a lot of therapy-ness (I can tell from some of the words or terms and the tasks to do). It is both a nice reminder of what happened in therapy, but it isn't as heavy as I thought either, and so doesn't create traumatic flashbacks and all that nasty stuff. It also isn't as untherapy and informal as I thought it might be. I like how simple a goal is and how easily achievable it is. It is currently the level I need due to depression kicking my ass again and I just don't have the energy or ability to handle too much without panic attacking and/or blacking out/twitchfitting etc.

Hope to chat to you in the future. I hope that each day gets better (your definition of what is 'better') than the day before it.
In the meantime -take care,
P.

Day 28 ~ Step 150

Faithfully keeping my Gratitude Journal has helped me learn to see what IS, rather than what isn't. Pushing myself every day to come up with with a minimum of 3 (distinctly different) things I'm grateful for has positively shifted my mindset to a place of thinking thankfully all day long. I focus on what I have, and have going for me, rather than being fixated on the deficits in my life. I honestly believe my shift in thinking with a grateful heart has begun to reshape my behavior for the better, and change me into a person others like to be around. ~ caterpillargirl 🐛

I am happy to embark on this path and feel it will really help me!

Breathing is relaxing

I say this to my pets every single time I get home in the afternoon:

I love you, I see you, I know your there, just let me get settled, figured out, unpacked.

Meaning you love, see, and acknowledge someone, but sometimes you need to put yourself first to figure out and deal with things to have a better life.
