Hi Lime. Glad you
Aww, @crimsonLime6525 I am sorry to hear that. I know you have been a lot in the past and you have had to made a hard decision but I want you to know that I do not think you are any less of a person because of those. In fact, knowing all that you have shared, knowing all that you have been through and still seeing you being here, trying your best to go on day by day and get better. You are just such an inspirational and amazing person. Your strength and bravery. I mean...I think you are pretty amazing anyway

I am sorry to hear that you are struggling today but cuddling with your dog sounds like a really good way to take care of yourself and recharge a bit ^-^
Stay strong and awesome!
@redmark
I'm feeling lonely today. This week was good I got to spend quality time with my daughter.
Hey there @RedHawk6547 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
Aww, I am really glad to hear that you have been able to spend such quality time with your daughter this week but I can imagine that now it has to be lonely without her. I want you to know that we are here for you even if I know this is not really the same but you are not alone in this here :)
Stay strong and awesome!
@RedHawk6547
Just saying hi 👋
@pioneeringBanana1598
Hi. How are you?
@RedHawk6547
Pretty good. Thanks for asking. How are you today?
@pioneeringBanana1598
I'm doing ok, just tired.
@RedHawk6547
I hear you on that. Glad to hear youre doing OK though.
Hi Red. Nice to have you and your positivity around here as always.
I have had a pretty good week. The last couple weeks I have felt better than I have in a very long time. So Im very grateful for that. Ive been able to actually just enjoy portions of my life and feel like an ordinary human. Thats pretty amazing. I cant remember the last time that happened. Or if I even ever actually did feel the same as other people. So thats cool.
Still having some trouble with an occasional flashback or bad memory or whatever. Anxiety has been way less though. I can tell because Im going through a lot less of my anxiety medication. So thats nice.
Had a situation with some friends a little while though that hit some of my triggers and in many ways I think reminded me of abusive situation in the past. Im still just kind of processing and figuring out how it made me feel and how much it reminded me of that situation in the past, even though it was a couple months ago. I have been trying to get together with these friends so we can kind of talk it out and hopefully improve the situation for everyone, but we keep having scheduling conflicts. Although I think that actually has been beneficial, because the longer I had to think about it the more Ive been able to kind of work through some stuff and realize what it is that I even feel and/or why I am upset.
Anyway, Im glad that understanding better how Im feeling. But I didnt realize how much it reminded me of that scary situation in the past. So kind of still having a lot of strong feelings about that I think. I hope itll get worked out, Im sure things will continue to improve but sometimes it feels like a lot. Still working on it.
Hey there @pioneeringBanana1598 *offering safe hugs*
It is always nice to have you around here as well!
yay! I am really, really happy for you. I have seen you work so hard and you do definitely deserve some nice weeks like this and just a nice and "normal" life. Although, I have to admit, I do not like to use the word normal, it is just so vaguely defined and, in my opinion, does not really, exactly mean anything. Either way, I am just really happy to hear that you are feeling good lately like that! ^-^
I can imagine having your anxiety being easier on you like that has to be a big relief as well and I do really hope it will only get better from now on for you.
Ow...triggers can really be hard to define sometimes. I am sorry to hear that you have had such a situation with your friends back then but I think it is really important that you are trying to figure it out and, even though I know it can be really hard, you are doing a really good job and I am very proud of you for it. :)
I am also just happy to hear that your friends are supportive of you like that and they are willing to talk through it even if you may have some scheduling conflicts right now. I do hope you will be able to talk soon tho and you will be able to figure it out. ^-^
Sometimes our brain can make strong connections between, seemingly, not even related things and I think it can really surprise some people how some things can be triggering for some but I think discussing it and just listening is really the way there to get to know you, or anyone else, better and just understand and hopefully avoid those triggers in the future :)
Stay awesome!
How are you feeling today? :) I am doing better than I have all week, but I am still a little blah.
How has this week been for you? This week has been rough, but my family has really been good for putting up with the cranky side of me.
Do you have anything you would like to share about it? :) I just wish I knew that things are going to get better.
Hey there @Rebekahwriter13 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to see you around here!
I am glad to hear that you are feeling better today, I do hope it will keep improving. :)
I am sorry to hear that you have had such a hard week tho but I am really happy to hear that you have got your family right there with you and I want you to know that we are all here for you as well if there is anything we may be able to help you with.
Well...I cannot tell, but I do believe that things can get better. It may be just me being naive but I do believe in that you can get better and I am willing to help as best as I can! ^-^
Stay awesome!
@redmark You have no idea how I appreciate the positive vibes.
As now I have new neighbor and they are negative and my empathy is sour because of it.
@Rebekahwriter13
Sending you some more positive thoughts if it helps :-)
@pioneeringBanana1598 Thank you. I like your screenname.
