I'm really grateful for this place, and the people here. It's great to read what everyone has to say and learn from you all. It helps a lot.

@berlinda - Liking your post many, many times! :)
I'm grateful to be here today. Yesterday was very bad for me and I found myself scrambling all day to try to divert negative impulses. Grateful for the part of me that continued a positive, consoling dialogue all day long!
Grateful for supportive music and programming.

Grateful for feeling less afraid. Because I don't 'feel' so alone.
Grateful I do have a tiny bit more courage- because I don't feel so alone.
Grateful I don't feel like such an immensely I-can't-live-with-it-person-because-someone-else-did-something-wrong, because I don't feel so alone. Glad I know they did it to others, too, not because they did, but because I know someone else knows they did.
Grateful for a bit of good news this morning.
Grateful for a Beautiful nights sleep. :inlove::inlove::inlove: OMG no nightmares, no insomnia, no waking up every 2 hours. Even woken by someone else's alarm clock, slept through phone text.
Grateful for reprieve in self-reproach or self-hatred/ disgust. But realize it bothers me more (to live with) to think I hurt others or am a burden they feel forced to drag along than even what hurts me.
Grateful for scientific show that said brain is neuroplastic annd constantly re-writing memories. Though huge negative events stay pretty solid, apparently people prone to depression have relatively clearer/ more balanced past memories: 'normies' write-out negatives from their memories. Which means if with my inclination many memories are still good/ ok- positive, they really must have been! Since according to them, a neutral-to-8 on my scale, would be a 10+ on other's! :)
Since this is the case for memory, seems it doesn't seem necessary to go over (all) memories with such fear or fine-toothed comb.
Seems to me memories are more 'how' you felt that stays in mind, rather than every specific detail. Also think they are colored by the quality of the relationship.
Grateful for little to no chest pains atm.
Grateful I will be off 4 of the next 7 days. ???
Grateful for daylight.
Eta, I suppose the next step ideally is actually 'believing' that I am not alone, versus 'feeling' a moment of it. I suppose that's something people take for granted with family, etc. It provides courage and comfort, and makes people feel like someone has their back, or will be 'there', or that it matters at all if they are 'here'.

Today, I'm grateful that I'm not in hospital. I was walking up a long flight of stairs yesterday and my legs started to give out on me. It was the strangest feeling - no dizziness, just weakness. I feel fine today, so I'm not sure what that was all about, but I'm grateful I didn't fall and injure myself.
I'm also grateful that part of me wants to recover and shake off the many chains of co-occurring bondage that wrap so tightly around my mind and heart. And, that I have a far greater, wiser, and stronger partner in this endeavor.

Tibetan singing bowls being played while resting on and around my body and gongs, and most especially the feeling of happily entering the pink floyd dimension while the gong is in full force. Definitely rearranges ones inner-chi (qi).

The warmth of my long cardigan whilst I was out today. Was lovely to feel warm n toasty but not too toasty.
Also for an evening alone, no arguments no drama, no hiding out in the bedroom. Lovely stuff.
