Happy July, everyone! I hope you've all been keeping well. I'm sending my best wishes and happy thoughts your way.

🌱 How was your July? How do you feel?

🌱 What are three things you like about yourself?

If you prefer not to answer these questions, feel free to share anything that's on your mind, say hello, or just ask for a hug. 💚 Always happy to hear from you.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.Maya Angelou

It's so good to hear you had a great July 💚 Mine has been going well, too, thank you.

Those are awesome things to be proud of, Desiree! I actually can relate; I like my hair and curiosity as well 😆

@SilverSeastar

  1. My July has been pretty good, except for brain fog from dissociations/switching out. As well as, dealing with unkind people that I thought were friends that disregarded my entire health.
  2. I feel good honestly
  3. 3 things that I like about myself: My empathetic nature, my love for myself and others', and my strong resilient nature to keep moving forward.

Hello, there,

Hmm, brain fogs are annoying. I'm sorry to hear you had to deal with unkind people. I understand it must be unpleasant for you. I'm glad to hear that you feel good and that your July has been good overall, though 💚

I can certainly see that you are resilient; I love your spirits to keep moving forward :) Thank you for being empathetic and loving towards yourself and others.

How’s the July been?

it’s very difficult to see how it could have been any worse. I probably shouldn’t reply to this as doing so I’m actively allowing all that I’m desperately trying not continue to get to me to resurface.


3 things I like about myself

I help others when they need it

i do what’s right although in this world I know it accounts for nothing more than my ability to say those words .

have to leave it at 2 as i don’t know anymore

@LabeledBPD

Hello,

That sounds difficult :( I'm sorry to hear your July didn't go well. I hope things will start looking up sooner rather than later 💚

Leaving it at two is completely okay. Those are a very big two; this world needs more of being helpful and doing what is right. Thank you for being you.

I thank you for your time in relying with a very difficult challenge to put some positivity into it it.

when you might have condemned a 2 year old to a 30 year lifespan, nah it doesn’t get better. I’d like to possess that hope but hey I’m not given such privilege.

I only outline the most pressing and unpleasant occurrence that the month of July brought,..



and here I I go again, allowing thoughts to progress….



I reiterate and emphasise the appreciation in your reply. Best of luck to you and all those you care about
