    What Have You Accomplished Lately?

    I survived my first panic attack in 2 years (and before that it had been another 2 years - they are very rare since I turned 30 so they're not fun for me since I assumed I'd "healed" or "outgrown" them), but they force me to love myself through it and to accept every part of me. "Integration" as...

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    Ah someone wrote my 5 already lol Dogs are AWESOME!! I actually admire you for your #5. Friends have NEVER been enough for me unless it's a best friend for life - I want ONE person to focus on and love and give things to. That's why I'm on a yearlong man fast - I needed to break this addiction...

    I know, i know - everyone on the forum is just delighted i read the david burns books "feeling good"

    Yay! I started working with the Thoughts section of the pacifica app based on CBT and it's been so helpful to see ho w cruel I am to myself in my head! They deal with exactly these distorted cognitions you mention - they are so rampant!!

    Co-dependency

    Oh man this is why @Recovery4Me resonates with me - I came on to say: I'm a grateful believer of Christ and recovering codependent. (That's the Celebrate Recovery version of the 12-step program we do - we have 8 steps I believe that corresponds to the Beatitudes, though I've heard we have 16...

    Current Weather

    It was warmer in my beloved hometown of NYC today than it was in this purgatory of SoCal that I'm stuck in so I'm not okay with the weather gods. At all.

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    Hungry. Sightly irritated at myself for not going to get food. Sightly distracted cuz I'm playing a mindfulness (YES it doesn't escape me) recording b/c I can't do one thing at once. Forgiving of self.

    What Made You Happy Today?

    haha I love those diaries! I finished a 5-year one recently (most of it is empty lol) and I started another one last year around my birthday in the summer. Today what made me so happy was singing at the top of my lungs during worship at church - we had a 5-piece band and surround sound today so...

    What Are You Grateful For Today?

    Amen! But don't you ever feel jealous? I'm still trying to get over my jealousy that I have never been normal and never will be so I can't have the house and husband and health insurance and nice vacations my normal friends have. What did you do to get over that?

    Re-reading Childhood Faves? Suggestions?

    I came on here to say LHOTP and that's what you already wrote! I'm blown away and so happy and smiling right now. That was my tradition as a child - I would wear wool nightgowns and walk down the hall with a fake candle and drink hot cocoa while reading. Perhaps immersing yourself in the...

    What Song Are You Listening To Right Now?

    First - best thread ever right now :) I'm actually listening to a prayer called Come As You Are based on Psalm 63:1-4 on the Abide app that I just downloaded today after someone on the Pacifica app recommended it. I'm using the firelight theme that shows a candle and bible and soft guitar music.

    Gave Her A Knife, Swore On My Life

    This struck me so much, the way magical realism books do. I hope you understand how deeply when I call it a modern myth for our times - and I mean "our" this forum. Myths to me are real, realer than history. Somehow this speaks to every love story I've ever written and every one I will write...
