Just wanted to say, thanks for posting this.
I recently struggled with some depression and sorrow last weekend in a way that I haven't in a very long time. It scared me a bit, because somehow I'd forgotten what it's like to sink into that pit. It's much darker and harder to climb out of then I remembered

I think it's good to have a place where anyone is welcome to share and people can be supportive and kind if they need it rather then dismissing mental wellness. So I really really like this. And I wish everyone who stops by here much patience, kindness and luck in navigating their unique struggles to reach their mental health goals. 🤗

@Scribbles may I pray for you? 🖤🤗

@JustGoneNow Thanks. That's very sweet. I don't know if anyone has ever prayed for me before. At least not that I know of. I'm doing much better now though. I was ignoring all the thoughts and feelings making me angry, stressed, and sad instead of taking care of it, like I should. I have now and feel much better. I just scared myself more then anything, I think. 🤗

I take it back, various people probably have prayed for me, and I just didn't know it or believe they would actually bother to do so. I do know a lot of good people. So I should believe in that. :/
Thanks for thinking of me.

@Scribbles I understand. Please be careful with my friend, okay? She matters. 🖤🤗

@JustGoneNow Err, I'll try. Not sure which friend you mean, but I'll try to be extra kind to everyone. I'm a little too good at fucking things up without realizing it. :/

JustGoneNow

@Scribbles you’re the friend. be good to you. you matter. 🖤🤗

JustGoneNow

@Scribbles sending you light and love.

JustGoneNow

@Scribbles for you. 😊

We all need a boost, sometimes. 🌸

@JustGoneNow Thank you :)

Btw, I hope wedding planning has been going well and not stressing you. I highly suggest going low maintenance and just do things your own ways for yourselves for the things that feel important to you., And make the rest easy. And that it's ok to change your mind and bounce ideas and thoughts around a billion times on what you want to take out, add or do. And do let me know if you want any ideas. I'm still full of them from my wedding.

@Scribbles I may do that later. ty for the offer. you’ve always been so sweet and kind to me. ty for that. 🖤😊

@Scribbles 5 days. Oh my gosh. Feel like everything is at warp speed. lol

JustGoneNow

@Scribbles Hope you are well. 🖤🤗

@JustGoneNow 😅 Yeah. Bet you are feeling busy too. The day will arrive faster and slower then you will want it to. Don't know what you and your partner all have planned for the wedding, but just remember that the only thing that matters is you and your partner's love and vows for each other. And signing and sending in the paperwork. (That's what I told myself the week of and that helped me.)

The rest is all just features and extras, tbh
Really the both of you have the rest of your lives together for whatever the two of you want. Take your time, Enjoy yourselves and be in the moment. And if it's a difficult or stressful day, no worries. It's just one day. You have tens of thousands of days moving forward

I am doing well now, thank you for thinking of me. I'm taking things one slow step at a time and focusing on what matters most.

🤗❤️ I'm very happy for you!

@Scribbles ty, my friend. 🖤🤗
