@honestLand773
Sorry to hear your're struggling. This is a safe place with no judgement. Hope you're feeling better soon, but feel free to share if you need to. Sending gentle hugs.
@Roslyn992
Thank u. It just kèps happning u think by now id figure how cope with it but i havnt.
@BeeLeigh
I hate that! When you lose all you typed and have to start again. But Brene Brown speaks countless words of wisdom Bee, so great check in :)
I watched one of her TED talks where she gave the example of someone speaking of their trauma to an audience. The person sharing her trauma had become upset and felt weak and ashamed. Whereas the people listening and watching had seen only strength and courage. And so it is with us all. Speaking of our traumatic experiences can be so upsetting, and can leave us feeling broken and ashamed. But to the listener, to the world, it demonstrates immeasurable courage and strength.
@DeborahUK
I love Brené Brown!! My therapist had me doing some homework a little while back and I included some Brené Brown quotes and when she was reading it and she was like 🤭🤗 I love Brené Brown! Lol.
@DeborahUK
Hey :) I asked for what I needed from someone today. I got ignored. I am proud of myself for being vulnerable.
Its good to see you.
@singercrystalspirit
You deserve to be proud of yourself Singer! 💜
@BeeLeigh :)
mmm today's alright. i had therapy this morning...got overwhelmed with a task and felt really guilty telling her 'i don't know'. she ended up calming me back down by doing some mindfulness techniques. i ended up leaving there much calmer then i had gone in thankfully. the day has been pretty good since then, so that's cool.
@Moonberrycat
Therapy days can definitely be tough Moon! I
Today is pretty good. Better than some of my recent days. Ive been trying to step outside my comfort zone and post more. I typically just read. Im hoping the rest of the day goes just as well. This community has helped me a lot.
@Comradekiwi
It can be really difficult to step outside your comfort zone, but this community is an amazing place to give it a go! 😊💜
My day today is going... well, it's going. That's about all I can say. I did get some needed things done but to do so required getting out on our lovely 108 degree Texas spring day! I am not looking forward to summer! It's been crazy hot like that for about 10 days now with no break in sight.
Currently trapped into going to a new job I dont want to start (I know the location and firm will make me unhappy) to do what I want to do long term which is go to grad school abroad. My family doesnt support the decision for me to do what is best for me and its so tough. Im tired and Im tired of doing what other people think I should be doing
@Camper1258
Sounds really tough for you and when you don't feel supported by your family. Is there any way that you can begin to move yourself towards the furure you woudl like..sometimes starting with small steps can help. Thinking of you. x
@BeeLeigh - Wow, I love these, thanks for sharing
@wontwakewontsleep
Hey there Wont! You know, I saw your feed post the other day, so I made sure that all of them actually had her name on the image, even though most of these I
@BeeLeigh - Aw, Bee! That's so sweet of you to think of me. I don't mean to pressure anyone to find names either, but I'm really grateful too. These are great! A lot of thsee are new to me actually, and I'm definitely saving some in my personal collection! Thanks bigtime, hope you're doing well!
@BeeLeigh
Not doing well at all today but hopefully tomorrow will be abetter one, hope all is well with you ❤
I stopped driving a couple years ago, and I'm taking lessons again now to regain my confidence. It's kind of a big step for me but it is quite hard. My instructor is a retired policeman and very good. But I'm finding it emotionally quite draining, particularly because I know that it's such a simple thing that every grown up in the country does without thinking about it.
I'm a little stressed out with a couple of things going on at the moment, which has caused me problems with eating and sleeping this week. I'm fighting off a migrane and trying to do some self care but I have a lot to get done. Feeling pretty fragile all round.
@Roslyn992
I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling good! If you want one, here is a safe, supportive hug! ❤️ As for driving, that is amazing! Big step for sure and you should feel proud of yourself!!!! No shame EVER in doing something when you are ready. It sounds like you have a good teacher. Go at your pwn pace, you are doing great!!! 🚗💨❤️❤️❤️❤️
