What's Keeping You Alive?

[IchBin]

Good books, learning new things, watching ultimate fighting, hugging people, cute animals.

The fact that I was born and started out this way, seems to help.

My Children.

Being helpful and/or constructive, Jim Dandy icecreams, ativan prn, sunshine, good books and what sometimes seems like foolish hopes.

I’ve already posted this but it’s true here too.

Family. Just family. Hubby (ex now but friends), who taught me what real love was. My children, who helped me to feel love in every atom of my body. And my grandchildren, who keep me young and smiling.

And not to forget my two brothers and two sisters, who know what I’m talking about but cope with it in their own way.

By the way, it’s Mother’s Day here in UK. I’m expecting some visitors later.

Happy Mothers' Day, Dear Brontie.

I thought this thread deserved to be bumped up; it helped me get through last night. Maybe it could help someone else too. It goes along with Anthony's old thread on fighting suicidal thoughts. Awesome Jadebear. Thanks for this creation. It was an unintended gift that keeps giving to many people (the best kind of gift I think).

Oh, and one odd-ish food thing I like that gives me a smile is liquid coconut oil drizzled onto homemade vanilla & chocolate ice cream. Mix it all in and you get these coconutty crystals with each bite. I also like canned plain pumpkin, mix it with vanilla yogurt, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and walnuts. I call it pumpkin-walnut frozen yogurt.

I hope you're feeling a bit better, 712.
(I love your avatar, btw. :) )
((((Hugs)))) if that's ok.

(Based on what I believe), I'd have to say 'God'.
Kindness and help of a friend.
2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th.. chances (I don't know why-? :confused:).
Definitely not 'me'.
:)

Thanks Junebug. Today, I think the only think keeping me alive, or awake, is wondering what y'all will post next on this site. :p Those funny hats on Anthony are making me :laugh:.

 

[Tinyflame]

Aren't they funny 712. :roflmao:
Poor Anthony.. I feel a little bad for him.. but not enough, hee. ;) I like KP's pink one, lol. :D

 

[Tinyflame]

Just a question, does anyone feel kind of badly or guilt for surviving? Wonder why?

Jb, have you read Anthony's [DLMURL="https://www.ptsdforum.org/c/threads/survivors-of-suicide.13738/#post-173971"]Survivors of Suicide [/DLMURL]post? (Was that what you were refering to? Surviving afterward?)
