My heart aches for you that you lost her. She sounds like she was wonderful and fun to be around. I can see why you loved her so much. But remember there is a reason she cared for you: you're worth caring for! Please tell me more about yourself? You sound really fun to me! (You like to read! That makes you fun in my book! I'm an avid reader, too.)
When we just lose someone it can feel overwhelming. (I know from experience.) Sometimes it helps to honor the ones we lost with a ceremony...What would the perfect ceremony for honoring her be? She needs to be remembered. I know it hurts, but I hope you can try to reach out to others. Maybe it would help to soften the blow a bit.
Remember, this just happened..please give yourself some breathing space..reach out to those you love..right now, be good to yourself, pamper yourself, let others pamper you to help you through the process. And this sub is here too, as well a r/grief and no doubt other effective forums online.
I just want you to know that you're worth saving. And you're worth being here. Because you're you. I hope you reconsider.
Much Love to you from New York state. ~SKR
I am so proud of you for coming here and so so sorry for what happened to you! That is just unfair. I am not a doctor, so I can't answer specifically, but as someone who also has ptsd I think that agoraphobia and ptsd can go hand in hand. I know a lot of my personal anxiety stems from a fear of losing control. And that stems from what I went through as a teenager, a traumatic experience which caused my ptsd symptoms. I am doing much better these days so know recovery IS possible! You say that things are complicated with your psychiatrist. Would you mind sharing how so? Hugs Wishing you peace, and so glad you're here! :) ~Your friend Sara from New York State.
You seem like a really sweet person. Thanks for taking time out of your day to help strangers. It's a nice reminder that there are good things and people in the world. Much love
You are very, very welcome! I go through, and have gone through, some pretty severe depression myself, so I know what it's like and how bad it can get. I want to be there for others who are dealing with depression so they don't have to be alone. I appreciate your acknowledgement. Much Love right back to you from New York state! :)
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're feeling ok tonight. Oh, I'm in Syracuse! This winter was just brutal, it's so nice to finally be able to go out and get some sun.
Also: Happy Spring!!!! :-D
Bob Ross would have tipped his beard to you.
I thought of Bob Ross immediately when seeing this....Now that's a legacy! 🎨🌳🌳🌳🌳 🌳💜
I get all kinds of warm fuzzies from these precious warm fuzzies!!! They are so beautiful and look so happy. :) You've done such a great job raising them both!!!
I like this stuff! Please share more?
I am so glad your eye is okay and that you survived the accident! That's so freaky, guess we will never know about some things, but I'm just glad that you're okay!
Ever have dreams where you were in a hospital?
You do have an actual, serious disorder.
Even if it's not major depression it's still a disorder and serious enough to ask for help.
I know, I think I just want something to put blame on besides myself
It's not something we do on purpose. We aren't like this because we try to be. Hugs from someone who understands! I hope we both get the help we need.
What about work from home jobs? I bet you could find something remote in this niche. Keep your wits about you while searching but I'd suggest upwork or guru.com. Both are freelance sites, I've gotten a couple work from home jobs through Upwork and one from Guru. I like Upwork best. Best of luck to you!!!
Hugs I understand how you feel about summer! I miss hoodies. I feel safer in them. Just remember people aren't focusing on whatever you're worried about, they got their own problems to deal with! I got a doctor's appointment tomorrow btw. Can't miss it, I need a prescription! Thankfully it's within walking distance but I still get nervous! Let's cheer each other on. We got this! :) I believe in you. :)
And they did! Congrats. love this idea! Your wife is very creative. :)
Haven't you heard of custom bounce houses? Nowadays, they even have them on wheels.
As someone who struggles with these issues as well, it's nice to know I'm not alone. Which is exactly how it feels... All alone at the mercy of your own negative thoughts for eternity. But things slowly get better. The hardest step is the first and it doesn't really get easier for a while. But when you do get out of the hole you dug, it's glorious and worth the daily struggle. Good luck to everyone else struggling. Just remember, no matter how deep you think you are into whatever issues you have... the is always a way out.
Thank you so much! From one fellow survivor to another: Big Hugs :)
I think that cat is a permanent Ascot. His new home is his human's chest! :)
You know that cat is a good fit when it relaxes the person more than watching television does! Cutest picture ever! Congrats. :)
PS: For me I was housebound for a bit over 2 years....that you went after 5 is simply incredible, a true testament to your courage and endurance of strength & spirit! Never give up! We'll get there. Here's to a smooth, full recovery for us both!
Thank you very much for your kind words. I wish you all the best, one step at a time.🙌
:) My pleasure. It can be scary still at times and I still have some setbacks but overall doing much better! Many Blessings for you. And yes. Literally: One step at a time! <3 you're beautiful inside and out! :)
She does! It's https://www.aundriabraggs.com
Please tell her my favorite is "Afrofuturism". Love the title also! <3 :)
The one on the far right is my favorite! But they are all amazing. Your girlfriend has got some serious talent! Tell her please keep going I bet she's got some cool ideas up her sleeves! Congrats, more power to ya, this is something to seriously be proud of!
10 total fissures have opened up. I'm less than 5 mins from where this is going down.
Had two massive earthquakes yesterday. a 5.4, and 6.9. Back to back. Every 4.0+ seems to be accompanied by more explosions of Lava from a new fissure. Leilani Estates is basically going to end up glassed at this point.
That's terrifying, are you by yourself or with others? Do you have an escape plan? Stay strong! Please keep us updated. Hugs
So annoying when your back yard turns into a volcano!
Uh, I think it's a bit more serious than "first world problems".
Reaction is easier, and less angry mom provoking than pro-action. It's easier for them to avoid legal claims and arguments from the holier than thou, and my kid is an angel parents.
At least that's the way I understand it, and that makes sense to me.
Agreed - my mother is a principal and 99% of the time the reason a kid is shitty is because the parents are twice as shitty themselves. No parent wants to admit their kid is being a little shit because of them, so they’ll get mad and cause scenes.
So basically if you have a rabid dog picking on a younger dog just feed it treats and it will go away? Except the dog keeps coming back when you're not looking. I'm not angry at you, or your mom of course- I'm angry at the system. It's just not effective at all. We need to find a better way. Let's all work together to find a better way!
Yeah easier for the administration but not easier for the one being bullied. Therein lies the rub!
So this effect was created using a light prism which refracts and reflects light. I hold the prism in front of the lens and it creates this awesome looking hologram effect on neon lights. It reminds me of the first episode of Altered Carbon - if you're interested in checking out more of my work, you can do so here: https://www.instagram.com/steveroe_
This is really unique, and beautiful in its own way. Great job! Keep up the good work, you should be proud. :)
This is kind of what my agoraphobia feels like. (confirmation: has agoraphobia.)
That is like one of the sweetest ways to surprise someone about this. Your wife is golden. Congratulations! :) (PS: Bob Ross is insanely comforting to watch and throwing on an ep or two of him painting at night might help calm pregnancy related nerves going forward!) I know it sometimes helps me at night. Wishing you guys both the best.
Our announcement was like this "I like the term 'expecting', like we're expecting a baby, but it could be a velociraptor."
Life, er, finds a way.
That is one badass pizzaria!!!!
Fantastic!!! Happy Birthday!!!!
..so we should burn them?
This isn't Fahrenheit 451.
You are awesome. Thank you so much. I look forward to listening! I bet this will help far more than you think. Keep going you're doing excellent! Share at my sub r/bigsteps if you'd like. I consider this a big step towards recovery!!!!
