Now… I know I have so much to be grateful for, I have noticed even through pure joy and excitement I may feel like a drink.
I’m grateful I have noticed that I do not know how to regulate or perhaps even recognise what I am feeling and what that means. Every emotion from the sad to the super happy I feel I need to numb it out. I’m grateful I recognise this.
I am so grateful for my home. I’m still in temp accommodation but I am so grateful that my permanent home is actually looking really fresh and damp free.
The decoration is really bright and nice and im just over joyed and even this feeling is triggering for me atm. But I am so grateful and appreciative that it’s almost done.
I am so grateful that the huge souls in my little furry pets is so loving and caring towards eachother and to people. And me .
I’m so grateful they found eachother in the safe family we have all become.
I’m grateful Basil (one of 4 cats) made me drag my @$$ out of bed when I couldn’t face reality. I’m grateful he thinks his the boss with me and thinks he helps me do jobs he does help me so much they all do. I won’t write a whole book about each of them and their great amazings personalities But the love is so strong I’m so grateful they love eachother and are basically a pack, a pack of 1 dog and 4 cats. My babies.
I’m grateful I posted today here and on the check in thread. I have to be grateful that I am lucky enough to see I’m stuck right now. I’m at the top of the hill and I have to get to the bottom. But I don’t have to fall I can walk.
I’m even grateful that I used am example of being stuck up a hill and not stuck down a hole or long dark tunnel with no light at the end… Just noticed when I read it back. I’m grateful that my perspective has changed from previous phases of triggers and depression.
I’m grateful I’m in bed, grateful for clean water and food and family.

I’m grateful reading all your posts made me realise how much I’ve missed you and this thread. And how much I need it.
I’m grateful my family is safe and I am in a position of knowledge to help my daughter as she navigates a difficult period in her life.
I’m grateful I recognised I was feeling burnt out and that I need to invest some work and time into me too, so I can be strong enough to help her.
I’m grateful I have places like TS where I can do that.

I’m grateful that I didn’t wake up feeling utterly exhausted even though I got a full night sleep. I still woke up feeling tired and not refreshed, but not to the extent that it’s been, so I feel like I am finally beginning to recover from the long sleep deprivation.
@erntedank I’m happy to hear you have pampered yourself with a pedicure! Way to dote on that special person in your life! (You. You are the special person. ) @Its_me_Stella It is a wonderful thing to see how much healthy understanding you have gained in your life, using each for the growth of your soul’s journey. @Twizzlers Recognizing and understanding what you’re feeling, why you’re feeling, and how your feelings affect you in reality is such an important thing, and a point that many people have yet to reach. We can’t change something we don’t know about or truly understand. Hang in there.

So sorry you and they are going through this. My partner has had a few scares and it’s always hard. I’m sure your friends are grateful that you can be there to support them!
I’m grateful for each day I’ve put into slowly decluttering my home. A lot has fallen to the wayside in the last decade as one issue after another took my attention, left me without motivation, or simply left me too ill or tired to keep up on things. We don’t have a large home, and for the most part things are organized, but there are closets, corners, and cubbies that have fallen into more disarray than I would like. I’m grateful I’ve been able to just let go of things–whether to the trash, to friends/family, or to a donation center.
@TrustyBird This is so true. My best wishes for your friends.

I am so grateful for my family and their support.
I am so grateful for my neighbors - the front door of my house was wide open and they called me to let me know as they did not see any cars in driveway. My new tenant moved the move in day to today and it seems that the realtor did not shut the door properly when he showed her the house the other day. Yesterday was a windy day and it must have blown the door open.
I am so grateful for my love of water. Grateful that lately i have been so damn thirsty and can’t believe how much water my body is asking for. Grateful to be adding some Himalayan salt to make sure i don’t deplete all electrolytes.
I am so grateful that i chatted with my best friend for over an hour last night. Only person that i have know for over 3 decades - we haven’t seen each other in over 3 years and i am thrilled that she is planning to come see me this January.
