Therapy today went well

We did a set of 7 journal prompts last night so we went over them during therapy. Some of the questions were really deep. But next week I want to start our one question per day book. The first question is "what is going well in your life right now". Should be pretty easy to do them every day. The journal prompts have been helping my partner and I get closer. It's almost one month since we got back together. It's really great. She and I are such a healthy relationship. My doctor and my therapist are really happy for us.

Who or what inspires you to keep going?

Hi Mighties!

A new week means a new theme, and the topic for this week is 💫 inspiration 💫.

In its simplest definition, to inspire is to spark or create a feeling of confidence, motivation, or desire to do something. Inspiration can come from many different places, such as art, the environment, other people, books, and music, and can influence a myriad of ideas, both new and old.

Today, let's share who and what inspires us to keep moving forward.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says that her dogs, family, and passions inspire her to keep going.

What about you? 👀

Yay!

I have agoraphobia so I don't leave my apartment unless it's to go to doctor's appointments, tests, procedures, etc. My home aid brought me grocery shopping today. Usually I order them & have them delivered but she wanted me to try. I have only gone grocery shopping 1 other time in the last 5 years so I was very overwhelmed but I managed to get through the whole store. There were quite a few other people there too. I didn't even know all this new food existed. I couldn't believe it. I am so proud of myself for making it the whole way. I was very overwhelmed at first but once I focused on getting what I needed & talking with my home aid it became a lot less stressful. I don't know how often that's going to happen but now I know I can do it. The holidays are really difficult for me. My family always invites me & I always have to find a way to get out of it because they don't understand why I have such a hard time. I wish it was easier to explain & that I wasn't constantly trying to find valid excuses that make sense to them. I'm sad if I'm not invited but I don't want to go at the same time. It doesn't make sense to me either. 🫤

I wrote this poem when one of my best friends died. I really struggled after she was gone 😢

Kind lover, father's daughter
Loyal friend, caring mother

Someone as rare as you
Is like finding that one in a million
You might be gone
But you'll never be forgotten

The phone won't ring again
From you calling just because
No laughing uncontrollably
You were there when no one else was

We could talk for hours, you & me
The definition of what a best friend should be

Smiling as we reminisce about the good ol' days
You would want us to keep moving on
Laughing as we reminisce about your old ways
You would want us to keep having fun

We're all wishing this just wasn't true
Words can't explain what we're all going through
We're all feeling down, feeling blue
Words can't explain how much we miss & love you
