      Existence can be hard, but you're not alone. One day at a time. Sending safe hugs 💛

  3. Well, as of yesterday, I have officially made it one year without SHing. This is the longest I've ever gone since I started... about 14-15 years ago. I thought I would feel differently once I made it past the one year mark of sobriety but... I kind of don't. :(

      You should definitely feel proud!! You’ve done an amazing job to get where you are. Not SHing takes a lot of hard work!

      Well done @Poppy_ That's a brilliant milestone! It's ok to have mixed feelings, but make sure you take a minute to really feel that pride and celebrate the new coping skills you've developed to get you here. 💛 

  4. I shared some of my poetry in group therapy on Friday and I got a very positive response. Everyone seemed to be able to identify with what I wrote. It made me happy to share my art. 

  5. Feels so good to be home from the hospital ♥️ Missed you all!

      I do hope you do my friend. I know things are shitty but they can only get better. Please take safe care of yourself.

  7. Over Christmas, my mother told me that she thinks I have diabetes. Mind you, I'm overweight, but I don't think it's severe and I'm not obese. But I'm still the biggest person in my family. And my mom tells me all the time how much I need to lose weight. Makes me wonder if she would love me more if I were thinner.

      Oh gosh. That's awful. I'm sorry your mom has said such things to you, Poppy. That is really unkind of her. I can only hope that she loves you no matter your size, and wouldn't only love you if you were thinner. I'm sorry again.

    3. sweetfeather5

      sweetfeather5

      That's horrible! And thin people can get diabetes too, so she's a bit dim. Sorry she said that to you.

    4. WannaMoveOn

      WannaMoveOn

      Weight and diabetes are not always related. She should not make such remarks like that. I have been getting rude comments from family members for my weight too over the years, starting when I was a child. I think neither you or me should be put through this. And at Christmas, the time of the year we should rejoice and have a good feast... 

      If your mother would love you more is you lost weight, SHE has a serious problem not you! This is not okay. Also, thinner does not always mean healthier. Sitting if ok?

  8. Can someone PM me to talk? I need some advice and I don't have anyone I can talk to.

      Session went pretty well. The only thing is that it doesn't look like I'm able to get the help I need until I'm ready to change and I'm not sure I'm ready yet. But I'm hoping my T isn't giving up on me yet. 

    4. Free2Fly

      Free2Fly

      Safe hugs :hug: If ok?

      I'm sorry you can get the help you need, hopefully your t will continue to help.

  11. So thankful today is therapy day for me!

  12. I told someone new about my trauma and I don't know if I can really trust them and I feel so anxious about telling them.

      Sitting with you, Poppy. It was really brave of you to tell them about your trauma. It is NOT easy at all to do. I hope that it will work out. Take gentle care of yourself. ❤️

  15. Soooo anxious for T tonight. I love my T. Why do I get so anxious???

    1. Free2Fly

      Free2Fly

      Safe hugs :hug:if ok?

      I'm not sure why it happens, I know when I went for an assessment for T a few years back I was very nervous and anxious I almost didn't go to it.

      Sending you calming vibes! I hope T goes well. ❤️

      @mini.finch thank you. Sitters are welcome. 

      @Field8 thank you, it just doesn’t feel that way. Feels like no one would miss me and I have no reason to keep going. 

      @Iheartcupcakes I just don’t want to be alone.

      You aren't alone in all of this, Poppy. I am so sorry that you are in so much pain right now. Sitting with you and offering safe hugs, if okay. ❤️

    1. Finchy

      Finchy

      It might not help...but please know that WE want you around. ❤️ I'm sorry that you feel unwanted in other spaces, however. You deserve to be loved and appreciated and wanted. :comfort:

  20. I'm already so done with today. Hurting myself is starting to sound like a good idea. 

    1. Finchy

      Finchy

      Sitting with you, Poppy. ❤️ I'm sorry the day has been rough. Please do your best not to hurt yourself, though. I know the urges can be really strong and hard to resist...but you're even stronger than those urges. I wish you all the best and hope that things improve. :console:

  21. As of today, I am 60 days of no self-harm! What a year this has already been. I'm so thankful to my friends, supporters, and metal health providers for seeing me through this and holding my hand. It hasn't been easy, but I'm so proud of myself :)

      I, too, am sorry you're sad...but doodling can be a really calming outlet. What you drew is lovely, even if the words are full of hurt. It's beautiful and powerful.
