rereading journals and remembering the good stuff
I don't know how to say it so well or maybe I feel kind of timid about saying it.
I was feeling like I had no value today after yesterday's social event for some reason.
At first I felt depressed and then this morning just empty- like a vessel for life and nothing else..
but I reread my notes to my therapist and my journals and I am doing chores and getting
on with the day...and I am feeling better - affirmed and humble.
All I can say is KEEP ON KEEPING ON!! believe!
Try to write positive things and reflections that you can come to when you're feeling
down - or reach out to us! to me! if you ever need a peptalk.

i buy the latter, that you are timid about your writing. when you cut loose, your writing is quite eloquent.
yes, do believe in yourself. i wonder if this might make a good forum post where it will reach a larger audience.
for what it's worth
i'm envious that you can read your journals. i still spiral into flashback hell when i try to read mine.
thanks arfie! peace!
I agree with Arfie-your writing is eloquent. Keep on writing it out,
thanks Mid! peace!
I agree with arfie and Mid about your writing. What you say is often thought-provoking, and you manage to pack a lot of meaning into sometimes very few words. You're very sweet to offer pep talks to your friends. Always remember that you have a cheering section rooting you on as well! Have a great day!
thanks ladybug! you rock! :) xo
That's great advice, Mark! I capture uplifting texts and put them in a folder on my phone. Reading these when I'm feeling really down helps restore faith in myself. I used to capture unplifting FB comments for the same reason, but I've been in a "no social media" phase for quite a few months. It adds to my anxiety, and I'm learning to let go of things that don't contribute to the healing journey.
good for you gr8ful1 and thanks!
Hola Marcos,
Oh my gosh how funny that you mention reading journals, I was literally thinking last night how I’m too terrified to read some of my old journals (flashbacks for me too like Arfie says)
You give me lots of pep talks in my journals (& pep talk hugs) & i appreciate it a lot :)
