Weekend Thoughts ✨

Continuing our thoughts from yesterday, how do you feel about this quote?
I've been working hard on this in therapy this year. Isn't it so much better to be happy with who we are vs worrying so much if others like us?

Gratitude

I have been sober for over four years now and I am so grateful today to have my family back in my life. Three of those four years I was institutionalized and prior to that I was in and out of active addiction for a long time not really respecting my family or myself because of the things I did in active addiction, plus I am a T1D and have been for 30 years now. I am so grateful to be alive today and I am not really sure how, but here I am. I am grateful. Thank you!

What to do with anger

Anger is valid, but holding onto it is heavy. It doesn't punish the person who hurt you; it punishes you. Ask yourself: What am I carrying that no longer serves me? A powerful way to begin releasing it is to name the emotion without judgment, breathe through it, and remind yourself that peace is a choice, not a reward someone gives you. Write down what you're ready to let go of, then rip up the paper. Letting go doesn't mean forgetting; it means choosing your well-being over the weight of holding on.

What are you ready to release today?

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

I am almost close to 30 years old and don’t know if I have a successful future ahead

Honestly I feel like giving up on God and just keep going to the mental hospital constantly. I hate the way God made me. I have really bad mental health issues and probably don’t even have the brightest future ahead unless if I have a lucky star. I spent most of my years in and out of mental hospitals. I barely lived life and sometimes I don’t care if I die because I am not living a life I want and I feel miserable #MentalHealth #Anxiety #ADHD #AnorexiaNervosa #Bipolar2 #Bipolar1 #BipolarDepression #BipolarDisorder #CheckInWithMe #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #Schizophrenia #Psychosis #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder #PTSD #Trauma #SuicidalIdeation #SuicidalThoughts #Selfharm #Autism #Addiction #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #Manic #Grief #Diabetes #DiabetesType1 #DiabetesType2 #MajorDepressiveDisorder #EatingDisorders

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is Cornflowercollie13. I'm looking for
Community and support. I’m currently living with an active addiction and in an abusive marriage. Mental, emotional, verbal and at times physical but not for a while. I work as an adult entertainer from home and live in a city where I have no close friends. The only people I talk to are my online clients and my dogs and various animals that I care for. I feel myself disappearing and it scares me. I feel like I used to be a vibrant, outspoken, artistic woman and now I’m an empty shell. I would love to find people who are either in the same industry as myself. Or people who are also actively choosing to stay in an abusive relationship. Animal lovers a plus. #MightyTogether #Depression #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #SubstanceUseDisorders #Trauma #PersonalityDisorders #MightyPets

🧠 Want to keep your brain young, sharp, and full of energy? It’s way easier than you think.

Here are 3 surprisingly simple habits that can help you boost brainpower and protect your mental health starting today:

✨ 1. Detox your mind

Your thoughts matter. Some empower you. Some drain you. Start noticing which thoughts serve you—and which ones you need to let go of. (That embarrassing moment from 10 years ago? Time to release it.)

💪 2. Build your brain daily

Just like a muscle, your brain needs exercise! Read, create, solve problems, learn new skills—this is how you protect your mind from decline and build resilience.

😴 3. Prioritize your sleep

Running on fumes? Your brain feels it. Sleep isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Ditch late-night distractions and protect your rest like your mind depends on it… because it does.
