I have no idea how I managed to get to step 50 of all things... And on a day when my pain is the only thing that is high, and my depression (and pain) is in control. Having an eugh week, month, seasons (when I am usually the opposite this time of year!). I am so glad I have the posts to look at, and the listeners (especially a specific one that I seem to rely on!).
@PhoenixMoon
Its a pleasure to have you hear and apart of our community! It's great to read your milestones, good or bad, it's all progress hey!
Thank you for being here
Good day to you !

You have brought me to tears after a fairly [insert expletive here] day (I haven't been this bad to this extent for a few years). Thankyou for your kind and sincere words. -Even though we have pretty much just met each other. Those words have not only made me feel a lot better in the area of mood/depression/pain, they've made me feel as though I belong. I haven't felt like I belong to anything much, and my support group (offline) is small. It is amazing how much power words have (some people view them as pale as watercolour, where as at times they are many times brighter than neon oil or acrylic paints). It's also amazing and reassuring that I can still feel (when I get worse I turn into this robot and respond as if I have the emotion after logically working out what behaviour is appropriate)... I hope you need your sunglasses when you read the next bit: Thankyou!
@PhoenixMoon
Thank you so much sweetheart, your very kind words have left me speechless, but I will say one thing, you are very welcome here, and I'm glad you have found us, and your wonderful listener who is no doubtable a huge support to you as is the rest of this community. You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in your life you really stop to look fear in the face, you are able to say to yourself "I lived through this horror, I can take the next thing that comes along" one day, you will be in the place you have always wanted to be, the peaceful place your fighting for, and I'm rooting for you!
And no, thank you! Your amazing, special and brave with a beautiful soul, who made my day perfect by you reply ❤️
All the very best to you, love Emma ❤️

Currently I am not a listener (not signed up, and not in the right mindset to be one, and be good enough for those whom choose me to talk to). I am not being nice, I am merely telling the truth the way I see it (and I am sure everyone will agree with me when I say that you regularly work magic to many, through your messages on the forum). Regardless, just thankyou for your energy, your contagious strength, and almost overwhelming kindness. And to those who can't find the words to express how you have improved their lives, I bet you can feel their undescribable everyday. Hope your day gets better (your definition of better), and each day may it build on the previous days.
@PhoenixMoon
Thank you, your kind appreciation has just made me smile from the inside out, I honestly can't even begin to tell you how much this message means to me, it's hearing genuine thank yous from yourself that make me feel so wonderful. So thank you! I hope you have a pleasant evening ❤️
Love Emma

Good on ya!

Well, I was too busy with life and broke a streak right at the time I reached this milestone. Even though I'm pretty far along, I still feel like everything is baby steps. I have really awful days, mildly awful days, neutral days, and okay days.

I just reached #20 after a few weeks of not visiting the site and working on my growth path, and I'm realizing how important it is to to try and work on my mental health every single day. I started the year feeling so positive and motivated, feeling like nothing could take me down, and didn't feel like I needed to come here to work on myself. Was I ever wrong! I've fallen into a funk once again and am at a loss for how to get out.
I'm thankful that deep down I still have hope. Without that I don't know what I would do.
@bloominoranges
