I love the seal plushie and How cuddly they feel. Sounds like you have some valid concerns about the new year. I believe that you will sail through this year with ease and clarity. Improving your art skills is a good goal to start the year off with😊.

@Crakyz
A warm seal plushie sounds great! Are you worried about the physical aspect of growing or about getting older? I hope for you that 2024 gets better and not worse than the last year and that you will have a lot of time to develop your art skills!
@audienta
I just thought I would ask you the same questions If you don't mind❤️?
@WorkingitThrough2 Oh, yes! Don't worry, I really dont feel comfortable or safe being older physically or growing up generally, I think Im still too unprepared for grow and that makes me kind of insecure, but I hope things will be better this time!
@Crakyz
When the time is right, things will begin to fall in place😊
@WorkingitThrough2 That's kind of you 💜

I have a cushion I like a lot.

@WorkingitThrough2
Thank you for your kind words and your work here in the trauma support community!
- Cozy pillows and blankets
- That it will be the same or worse than 2023. I seriously hope it will not. I'm also worried that I will not be able to manage the returning back to work.
- Horse riding and summer.
I'm now on the path to recovery from the last half year of serious depressions. I started antidepressants in the the end of December. It was very bad when I started taking them but it's getting better slowly, I'm thankful for that.
Intimacy still triggers my panic attacks, I want to try the EDMR treatment. I hope it helps with it. I have the first appointment in two weeks.
@mish3l
I love a cozy pillow and a nice soft plush blanket, too.It helps me feel secure😊
I am glad that the depression is getting better now that you are on anti-depressants.❤️. EMDR has had a lot of success with many people so I really hope you gain great benefits from it. Hopefully,.
your depression and EMDR will be better by the time you have to go back to work❤️
Wishing you this year great health, good working conditions, and Peace of mind.😊
Thank you for being a part of this Forum and for your response. We are rooting for you❤️
@mish3l
I'm glad to hear that your antidepressants are starting to work. I wish you that the EMDR therapy works, that you are able to start working again if you want that and that 2024 gets better than 2023 for you.
@WorkingitTrough2 @audienta thank you so much ❤️ I wish you the best year 2024 ❤️☀️
