It is sooo awesome to hear from you again! 
How are you feeling? :)
How was this week to you? Do you have anything on your mind you would like to share? :)
I thought I would dedicate today's thread to something that is really important for me and that is reminding your how amazing and important YOU are :)
I know it can be really hard sometimes to see yourself as someone amazing but believe me, I really mean it! :)
I know that lot of you may have been through a lot in your life but you are still here, you are a strong and brave fighter and I am just so proud for you for it. :)
You have decided to despite everything you have been through you come here and give people a chance again and try to open which is just such a hard thing but you have done so because you are just such an amazing person. You are trying your best to take steps towards your recovery and I want you to know that you are definitely not alone in your journey and that we are here for you to support you and I do believe in you 110%!
There is no pressure on you of course, I know it is hard and it will take time but I just want you to know that you and your feelings are valid and important and we do care about you and always happy to see you around here even if you just pop in to say hi or just sit with us for some time I do really value the time I have got to spend with you, such brave, strong, and amazing person, either way! :)

Hi Red,
I enjoyed your graphics and overall positivity, as usual. Thanks for bringing that to the table.
It was sunny where I live today, which is unusual for this time of year so I did enjoy that. I actually got to get out in the sunshine and get some fresh air with a friend. That was nice.
I have been struggling this evening. I guess depression has crept back up on me and hit pretty hard. I am trying to find it but it is challenging. Kind of a day when its hard to remember why you exist.
So much pain sometimes. Things from the present trigger things in the past and then it all swirls together in my mind. I wonder what kind of person I really am sometimes. I spent so many years hating the person I thought I was. And I know Im not really that person but I havent been able to look at myself in the mirror really for years. I would like to be able to have a positive view of myself. It just sounds so far away. I want it, but Im scared and sometimes I dont know how to get there. Everything is so overwhelming or scary sometimes. I dislike that.
im sorry. Thank you for listening.
Hey there @pioneeringBanana1598 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
I am glad to hear that you have found this post helpful and liked the pcitures and gifs! ^-^
Oh, that sounds really nice. I mean, even if it is cold just the light of the sun has something really nice to it and I am glad to hear that you have been able to enjoy it with that friend of yours for today. :)
I am sorry to hear that you are going through such hard times lately tho. I know that depression can really do that, can make you feel just isolated and just make everything look and feel dark and cold but, yoiu know, it is a great deciever. I mean, for example, you just have had that day with your friend walking in the sun and I am sure your friend enjoyed your company even though I know that depression may make you think like they were just tolerating you but it is not true. You have many amazing qualities to you and just as much as your friend I am really glad to hear from you anytime here as well
Traumas can be really hard to process. I mean, I am sorry to hear that you have had to get through so many things but I want you to know that right now you are here with us and you are safe. It can also be helpful if you maybe talk with a friend and ask them if you can call them at times like this so they can reassure you that you are in the present and you are safe and those are just memories :)
I know it can feel overwhelming but I want you to know that you are making really amazing steps on the road to recovery already by just reaching out for help as well as taking care of yourself and going out for walks like that and such. Imean, it will take time, but you are not alone in this and I do believe in that together we can make it and I do definitely believe in you. :)
Also, you have nothing to be sorry for, thank you for trusting us here enough to share this!
Stay strong and awesome!
