Positivity
As this section is about 'Positivity' I am wondering if there is any listeners who give Positive support with empathy ? in my experience there isn't hardly anybody
I would
I have a thread in there called best maples positive corner I post in there everyday hope that helps
@bestMaple2045
thanks for your positive corner I do read some of it
take care
thanks ever so much both of you
I actually need listeners who can bring positivity in to our chat instead of focusing on how bad things are for me, it helps to have empathy and validation, however I am at a stage now where I need to be positive support too and not focus on how bad things are and not focus on the story about what I've been through and going through, its not easy. I am thankful for having two listeners who are positive, one is very busy at the moment so its mostly one they are very good always focus on the positive with me while still giving me understanding its very good.
take care
So glad you're receiving a more positive approach-focused support too, sometimes it does help to surround ourselves with warm, loving, optimistic people that can instantly uplift us. Sending love and positive vibes your way! ❤@Farrah17
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou

I just wish I had more listeners that were positive and supportive with it
@Farrah17
Really glad too. ❤
Have you tried browsing for listeners, sometimes we may click with someone's profile/ bio more, finding it more uplifting or suiting our preference?
I do hope you have a consistent support and company here. Keep reaching out, you're doing so good. ❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou

I could do with more really
I have experienced many negatives here
@Farrah17
I really understand what a hit and miss it can be with things here, so proud of you for not allowing the negative experiences stop you from continuing to try your best, and reach out too. ❤
I've come across some of your other posts as well, where some compassionate people have offered their support and company to you, it's nice how we live in a space where all kinds of people exist hehe, simply hoping you get more and more of what you're seeking for. All the love.
@Farrah17
So glad you are getting some support! Positivity is always needed. You deserve positivity in your life and I hope you can find the continued support you need and desire. You can do this! I will personally send you a positive cheer if needed!
@Helpfulbutterfly29
thanks so much
that would be good thank you
Hello there, I actually like to utilize positive affirmations when I do my chats with members. I want to empower them to think more positive thoughts, and let go of their negative thoughts. It's okay to vent and chat about the bad stuff that's going on for a time, but eventually in order to find complete healing / wholeness one has to be willing to let go of the weights of negativity that is weighing them down.
that sounds really good
I worry about affirmations in case I feel worse
and about getting the right wording I find it difficult to know
I like what your profile says about positivity and Christian
@Farrah17
its not easy letting things 'go' its taken me personally years of therapy
and I am getting there but you are right
@Farrah17 - I understand, it isn't always easy to let go of negative thinking, but it's a courageous / self loving thing that you have started that process. I am truly proud of you Farrah for taking those steps to better yourself. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step".
@L1ly0ftheValley
thank you so much
I really hope I can find more listeners who can support me in being positive
its not easy due to what I am going through I get very frightened and I need to use positivity to distract myself more
@Farrah17 I find this positive affirmations exercise quite helpful, and practical, hope it helps you too. ❤

@Overthinker13579TU
haha yes thanks
@Farrah17
😊
@Overthinker13579TU Love it! that's a wonderful visualization of what one should do to any negativity, like water off a ducks back, let it roll right off.
@L1ly0ftheValley
Thanks :D.
True , let it bounce back
its extremely difficult to distract yourself with positivity when you have frightening things you are going through and it makes me wonder how i'll ever do it
I feel very sad and feel like giving up at times, but this is some steps I need to take and get it right in my recovery . Thanks to those of you are who show understanding and kindness
@Farrah17 - You can do this Farrah! :)
I experience chronic dizziness that is frightening
its a moving in my body that I feel all the time and sometimes it gets bad and the step I need to take is to distract myself from it and other things its almost impossible its terrifying and upsetting
its all emotional
thanks for understanding
@Farrah17 - I've gone through dizziness when I've had my panic attacks and it sucks, but it seems like you've been really bombarded with these dizzy spells. Oh Farrah, I'm so sorry you are going through this. I could definitely see how it would be a frightening experience for you. I empathize with you completely. You are so strong to be going through that.
@L1ly0ftheValley
so sorry you've been through it
thanks for your empathy its a living hell when it gets bad nevertheless my therapist has asked me to focus on the positive and not the story or how I feel now its hard but I am trying and thankful some people are responding positive with me while giving some understanding too
my parents pray all the time for me so I am thankful for that
@Farrah17 - It's so brave of you to step out like that and focus on the positives, I am proud of you for that. 🙏
@L1ly0ftheValley
thank you so much
thanks for all your sweet words
@Farrah17 - You are so welcome, I am wishing you a happy / blessed day today! :)
@L1ly0ftheValley
thanks so much you are very kind and understanding
it means so much to me when I come here and read the sweet kind caring words from people
I feel so desperate and scared at times and think i'll never be well coz of how bad things gets and how impossible it feels its so hard to be positive at times like this
