Thank you @Zoe7. I’m not sure what to say. I know that you have become entrenched in my brain now too. Everytime I see butterfly art I think of you (today I was having coffee with mum out and there was a really simple but effective piece of butterfly art). I see how far you’ve come and it is fabulous. I can see the butterfly trying so had to emerge from that cocoon. I have a feeling she’ll be amazing like this one 💜🤗

There is nothing that you need to say @Teej - I just wanted you to know I was thinking of you Hon Funny thing is I see anything purple and I think of you - so it seems like we both have each other in our heads lol
The image fairies are a bit slow tonight so I will come back for the pic.

The butterfly is beautiful @Teej
I know I have come a long way but there is still a long way to go. Feeling a bit stuck today but trying to just sit with that feeling and not read anymore into it. Some days are going to have moments like that and even whole days - and sometimes when you are in the middle of the muddle you can't see too far past that moment. I am learning to recognise those moments more and know that I have to wait until they pass.
I laughed today - a proper laugh not a pretend because that is what is expected type laugh. My face actually hurt - shows how long it has been since I laughed. So there was that one moment today where I actually checked in with myself and gave myself permission to laugh - and it was a good feeling.
It was nice to read that you got out yourself today with your Mum. You are doing things @Teej and as small as they are - they are moments for you too. It is just those days when nothing seems to make sense or feel like it is going our way where we break down - hopefully. like me. you can have more good times inbetween those horrible days.
Love and hugs @Teej

Hugs, lots of them, heading your way, @CheerBear. So glad you are able to get some of what is going on for you, out here on the page rather than all inside. Thinking of you, as always, on my early morning wake breaks. Happy to hear you slept long and well last night. May there be many more nights like that for you.

@Zoe7, yes I am going well at the moment by my own standards, which is something both my psychiatrist and psychologist encourage me to take as the measure of things. So good to read of your forward progress in recovery, especially about the return of laughter. Much more of that good medicine to you.
