Survivable 
I just want to let you all know that I have been on DS for almost two years now. When I first joined, I had recently been discharged from a two week stay at Two Rivers Psychiatric Hospital. I have come a long way and thanks to Daily Strength, I was able to grow, learn, and share. Knowing my triggers and Using Affirmations and Cognitive Therapy has been a big help in my recovery. I believe God lead me to the Hospital to get the help I needed and that was to get on the right medication and learn about triggers, affirmations and Cognitive Therapy. Even when I was at my lowest I felt God's comfort and new that He would teach me and help me get through the lowest time in my life. Life is worth living even if it takes one day at a time to get over the illness we are going through. I know if I don't continue using the skills I have learned I will start getting sick again.
I love growing, learning, and sharing with my DS friends and plan on staying here for a long while. Even though I am going through another stage in my life, I am not giving up my life-line -- Daily Strength. So I may not be on Daily Strength as long as I use too (a few hours a day), I will post Daily Positive Thoughts, read my messages and hugs everyday unless of course I am on vacation. :) I will read and comment on journals when a friend lets me know they have updated. So please don't be shy about letting me know you would appreciate a feedback.
Please note that once in a while I accidentally delete messages, because of hitting the wrong button, so please, if you asked me to talk and you don't hear from me, resend your message.
Of course, another way of contacting me is through my email at bswyorkie@live.com
Sincerely, your friend, Survivable

My darling Survivor, I guess we are both Survivors, having been through so much in the last years of our lives.
I wrote a similar message to a friend of mine, whom has help me through many downs, since I have been here, over 2.4 years.
So I understand exactly where your coming from.....
I want to thank you for your daily positive quotes, they are really uplifting and true, sometime even funny,
So thank you for being a daily light in my life.

You have done so well, I can relate to what you have said about things happening for a reason, like you I became ill and doctors were involvede. at the time I just thought I was crazy but looking back I realised how ill I was and how I needed to be educated at how I was letting others treat me. I still have counselling and am trying to overcome my triggers which is hard and something I don't always feel like doing. I think we have to work at this all our lives or will get ill again

Hi Survivor, I too believe that God loves and takes
care of all of us. He desires that we would be completely
healthy and happy. Through listening to his guidance I
have also healed quite a bit and continue to do so. The
skills you mentioned are helpful to me as well.
Thank You for sharing positive thoughts and affirmations
etc.... I am sure God appreciates your sharing with
and care of others hugs, Ida.

I think I've told you before but I love the Daily Affirmations, One-Liners and Quotes. I copy and paste them and when I get a couple of pages then I send them to my son whose been in jail for almost a year. He loves them too. They have really helped both of us a lot. Please keep it coming if you can. My son wrote his own quote. How would a person get that published? If you know, can you tell me. Thanks again for all you do. Love, Georgia

It could so easily have gone one direction or the other..but because you left it in God's hands he guided you in the right direction..

Thanks for all your inspiration. I was just diagnosed with another disabling health prob. I have been not wanting to deal with it because it limits the quality of my life and I hate limits. Your updated self-evaluation has once again inspired me to stop allowing the struggles in my health to effect my quality of life as much as i have the power to do so. i know my thoughts are powerful, they lead to the beliefs which in-turn create my reality minute by minute on a daily basis. You are so awesome.... thanks for being in my life!

You are a true survivor indeed. One of my biggest fears is ending up in hospital with a depressive episode. The way you put it helped me see that sometimes we just need extra help and God provides that in many different ways for us when we can't take care of ourselves. Thank you, thats just what i needed to focus on. Vee
