@BeeLeigh hey Bee! Sorry to hear the weather isnt nice where you live. Here, its raining aswell :) i dont like thunderstorms too, but i love the smell of rain somehow haha!
i really hope that, even though the weather isnt great, you ll find something good in this day
@Hope3729
Hi Hope
, I have a family member that absolutely loves the rain. She jumps into bed if there is heavy rain, she says that she find's the sound of rain comforting.
@Amandisa16
My daughter does that too
@MaschaV
Hey MaschaV,so your daughter likes the sound of rain too, that's really interesting. This family member said that as a child the sound of the rain would just make her feel such peace, it was her "safe place".
@Amandisa16
If she could she would put up a tent in the garden and sleep there when it rains, lol
She uses an app with rainforest sounds to fall asleep.
@MaschaV uh i already love her haha! i do that too sometimes

@Hope3729
Thank you Hope!! I tried to respond earlier but the stupid app wouldn't let me!! Thankfully I'm home now and on my laptop lol
Edited to fit format (sorry Bee wasnt near my computer much today) 
Thanks Raven for helping out.
@Raveninthelabrynth
Thank you so much Raven!! 🖤💜
I gave my therapist my "I quit" letter and it feels really good. I'm not doing it anymore, and that's cool with me.
@Blinkk
Hi Blink I don't know the reasons why you quit therapy, but it seems that you are happy and at peace with your decision. I hope that if you do choose to have therapy in the future, that you will find the support that is right for you,
@Amandisa16 thanks I feel really good now that I'm done. Man, that was hard. I would taking about a certain subject, and then I'd go home and hurt myself because I told someone else about this subject. I didn't want to do it anymore and my therapist said that was ok. It didn't make me feel safe, so now that I don't have to talk about "that thing" I less anxious everyday. I feel really good.
@Blinkk
Sounds like you are happy with that decision. I know my pysc dr is getting his next week since my therpist said I didn't need to see the pysc dr anymore.
@DanaMH that's great. Sometimes it feels really good to move on. It's not a bad thing, it's just what need to happen eventually.
@Blinkk
They finally decided to give me a new Pysc MD and I see here 5/20
@BeeLeigh
I am sorry you're scared. It will pass soon, you'll see. (if it has not already) The weather here has been awesome. I don't mind thunder and lightning much but I want to be inside not out.
Im sorry I cant focus on that post to read it...I really need to chat to someone though if anyone is free, ive been trying to find a listener but im being too picky because I feel at the moment I could be easily more triggered.
I feel just a quick good 30 min chat could help me feel more present and calmer.its not that I want to chat detail about trauma or anything,its the panic attacks,there at there peek.
But nevermind if no ones free there is no pressure <3
Hope everyone is having a good day!
@indigoBeing9907
Hi Indigo, I read your post just now and I hope you found a listener to help you through your panic attack *safe hugs* if not and if you still feel like talking, you can always post here, even numerous posts, that's perfectly ok... I'm not a listener, not an expert on anything, but I'm here 😊 hope you're ok, my best wishes for you...
@courteousNorth5140
:) thank you so much for your thoughtful reply and well wishes, I an very thankful for this amazing community and all you amazing people in it <3
@BeeLeigh
Hi Bee, 😀 yea storms can be scary, I'm hoping this storm will pass quickly, sending hugs 💗. I'm actually okay with storms, it's wind (gales and hurricaines) that at night can give me serious panicking attacks.
@Amandisa16 oh yes, hurricanes and gales can be very scary though! wishing you a lovely day Amanda
Hi Bee, I was terrified of thunderstorms when I was little, especially the noise, so my dad gave me his ear defenders to block out the sound which I found helped a lot. I have gradually gotten better with them, and also counting elephants between the lightning and thunder is a good distraction. I'm quite lucky that thunderstorms don't happen very often where I live and they don't normally cause any harm.
Also thank you for teaching me a new word! :)
Love and hugs to all
@FloweringBunny thats such a great idea on how to deal with thunderstorms! glad to hear thunderstorms dont happen very often where you live wishing you a good day!
@BeeLeigh Hi Bee...I also like Lightning...and offcourse the rain. Lightnings are lovely to watch but they kill people too...In past 3 weeks, more than 150 people lost their lives in Lightnings all over my country, Bangladesh.
@Saif1for1Resilience I'm sorry to hear that 😔😢 I had no idea the kind of impact thunder and lightning storms had. They aren't very common where I'm from (I live in the Pacific northwest part of the U.S.). It usually gets rainy and windy.
I've been sick all week and now my mom is sick and I'm not 100% yet
