Your smiling selfies make my day to see. A bearded guy who follows every struggle post with love you guys is just what the world needs. I appreciate you. I’m tucking you into an atria or a ventricle right now. 🫀

Saw this and didn’t really know who to send it to. I shared it on my Facebook page but wanted to actually send it somewhere.
Feel like I am really walking a tightrope with the mental health today. Like I’ve been wobbling a little but now it feels like I could fall any time. Not quite there… But it feels close.
Not been around here much recently. Don’t quite feel connected anywhere. Which I know is a sign of a bad day. Feelings aren’t facts etc. Needed to get it out somewhere and this is where I thought of.
Been really fighting urges to get some cigarettes. As if that would somehow make a difference! I have tested the theory that nicotine is good for depression more than once and I know it is not. Been trying to just feel the feels.
Think I am gonna take this little duck’s advice and find a happy moment. Going to make myself a hot chocolate, get my speaker and sit out with some tunes and the last of the day’s sunshine

I’m glad to see you ! 
And thanks for sharing the duck - it’s a perfect message and reminder. I found myself having to remind myself the other day that somethings and times are just phases. Maybe it’s just a phase and maybe if you do what the message said, it will pass onto the next. Until then, sending a hug.

Thank you. Hug and welcome very gratefully received 
I don’t think the picture comes out properly but when I stepped outside the pattern the sun was making against the sky and the clouds…
Literally stepping outside and getting out of my head for a minute let me see something beautiful. A bit of light in the darkness.
I am still feeling tired and emotional but it was nice to have a little break from that. We will see what tomorrow brings
