photodiary

I've had another busy week.
And I haven't quite been myself.
I am still rebuilding myself after my dad tore me down 10 days ago.
But I am slowly getting back to baseline.
Talked about it in therapy yesterday.
And got some understanding about why it shatters me so and why it takes so long to recover.
It's due to my personality disorders and C-PTSD.
I am thankful for this insight.
And I am thankful for this group, you all, your shares and comments, plus your posts.
Thank you for lifting my spirits.
Here's my #photodiary from the week.
It has been hard to feel the good due to my trauma reactions and #anhedonia - but I am thankful for the good my photos show me is there!

Ps: the dogs belong to my mom and my brother. And they were so cute and attentive while my mom prepped food for a family dinner

Hi, how are you? It's not an ordinary question. How are you really?🍪☕️

It was a very tiring week for me. Because I was sick. I struggled with an incredible throat infection and upper respiratory tract infection. But I am grateful to have managed it with natural methods.
Working out with Triflo to improve my lungs seems like fun, but I wish I didn't have to do it.😌
These were my physical problems. I think it was my mental problems that caused all these problems.
Worrying about so many things has exhausted my immune system. I have become someone who gets sick very often.
I am trying to cope with the feeling of being late to life. I have not even experienced the feelings that many of my peers experience..Thinking about these things makes me anxious.I think we should stop thinking about things that are out of our hands and focus on ourselves.🥲

Anyway, I took pictures of what I made this week. I am also a quilt artist and I am happy to have finished the quilt.Taking a walk, having a cup of tea with cookies and my 2 cats🐈 these are small things that bring great happiness to the piggy bank.

Thank you so much to @miss_krissy for the #photodiary inspiration, I enjoy reading her posts. Her contribution here is great. She ignited a light for me to hold on to myself.

What about you?Have you ever felt like you're late to have something?Or is all this just unnecessary worry that leads us to sadness?🥲

I've captured many good moments this last week.
Especially in regards to cozy time in the kitchen, cooking, baking, and family dining.
And that was good.
Because Sunday I had a very bad experience.
That sent me to a not so good place mentally and emotionally.
I am slowly and diligently working my way back to baseline.
But I've really needed my #photodiary this week.
To comfort me.
And remind me of the good.

On Wednesdays I make and share my #photodiary in this wonderful group.
This week is filled with Halloween pictures.
We had a great Halloween.
And I am especially thankful on my youngest behalf; he had been so excited for the day.
At the beginning of November, I put up our lights on the balcony.
In time for my youngest birthday - he lights the lights for the first time.
A cozy tradition.
Also managed to take of a picture of him wanting to hold hands for a little moment.
That doesn't happen a lot anymore since he's 12.
So I was grateful.

When I look back at my #photodiary
I see many small moments of good.
They easily fade away when you're struggling and your mental health isn't the best.
So I often look back on my camera roll to remind myself of the good.
Of the glimmers and the gratitude I felt.
This has helped me immensely during tough times.

I've created a group focused on Gratitude and Glimmers.
Because they save me daily.
But I would like to have more focus on them.
And I thought I might also support you all in your journeys into the so very helpful and beneficial land of gratitude and glimmers.
I thought; what better first post, than my #photodiary
I aim to take as many pictures as possible of things that spark joy, peace, hygge, and gratitude.
My pictures help me to focus on what is actually good in my life.
This is especially helpful when I am depressed and anxious.
And it has gotten me through some tough times.
Do you snap pictures of gratitude and glimmers?

Still keeping my photo diary.
Really can't imagine not keeping it.
I need it to capture good times, beauty, hygge, gratitude, memories.
To create some much need balance between the good and not so good.
And if you're wondering why there's a picture of the inside of my kitchen cabinet.
Asked my youngest to take the groceries into the kitchen.
But he didn't just take them in.
He did his best to put everything away.
So proud he thought of that.
And it was so nice to come home to.

Pictures from this week's photo diary.
It was a tough week...
But I still captured beauty, gratitude and hygge in my photo diary.
And it helps me keep going.

I have kept a form of photo diary for years now.
I struggle a lot with my memory due to my mental health issues.
And it helps me remember what I experienced.
Also, it helps me capture the good moments.
With depression especially, those are so important to cling to.
In addition it helps me practice gratitude.
For the cola in my cup, the beautiful flowers, the bird on my screen saver (my middle name is a little birds name) and so on.
Also any "hygge"/cozy moment, I try to capture it for my photographic treasure box.
It has saved me more than once to look back on my photos.
