@PeppermintStar0912 appreciation of beauty :)
@Mellietronx Wonderful, I love it! Thank you for sharing that with me! I hope that you had a good day today 
@PeppermintStar0912 one of my strengths is that i am really strong! (lol)
@dynamicHemlock1736 Hahaha! I love it and that made me smile! Keep being strong and thank you for checking in with me my friend!
What is one of your strengths?
I guess it might be that I always try to be there for others.
@aiko123 That is a great strength to have! Keep it up and thank you for sharing that with me! Have a beautiful night!
I am a good analyzer maybe too much so.
@scarletPear1945 That's awesome that you are great at analyzing! Thank you for sharing that with me my friend! Sometimes our strengths can also be a little bit of a weakness too but that's totally okay! I have those!
@PeppermintStar0912
You are right it is a strength but it works against me because I try to analyze everything creating unnecessary stress and worry. But I think this is because I seem to always be on hyper Alert most of the time.
@scarletPear1945 Hi there friend! I hope that today finds you well! By hyper alert, do you mean like you are always anxious and looking out?
@PeppermintStar0912
Yes, that is kind of it but I am always on my guard looking and watching for something unexpected to pop off. It is more fear than anything. Not trusting of my own fears or caution lights which are all ways on sending me signals that may not be real or of an endangerment.
@scarletPear1945 I have a lot of fear too. It's interesting to know that others have it too... I thought it was just me but that's silly of me to think that. How have you been able to help your fear?
@PeppermintStar0912
I have been talking about it in hopes of lessening its power. I try to face the fear but have not had any success with that.
Then the fear turns in to feelings of being paranoid.
@scarletPear1945 Yeah I get those same feelings! I've been told that facing it is pretty much the best option so I've been working on that for a little bit! But I still find myself really scared a lot of the time. I hope that you are doing well today!
@PeppermintStar0912
I wonder if we ever get to a point where these feelings dissipate? or if this is a life sentence?
@scarletPear1945 I don't think our feelings dissipate... We just get stronger mentally and those problems that once consumed us, no longer consume us after a while of fighting them in a positive way. With a postive attitude and mindset, we can fight anything really! We just have to try every single day and we can't give up. There is a saying that I like to remind myself of: "It doen's get any easier, you just get stonger."
@PeppermintStar0912
Ok, I hear you and Lord knows I done this over and over and till my positive is falling on shaky ground. I realize this and I am going back to therapy.
Thanks for the response

What is one of your strengths?
Writing is a huge strength. If I can write it down, I am usually okay.
I am also good at encouraging others when I feel okay.
@Rebekahwriter13 Writing is a wonderful strength! I love doing it. It's so calming you know?! GREAT job that you are strong at writing.
@PeppermintStar0912 I hope to be a successful author one day.
@Rebekahwriter13 That is really amazing to me. I've loved writing since I can remember! Have you written any books?
