Great thread @CheerBear. It’s been kind of ironic that I’ve had to force myself to think about this. I’m one who is usually very much reflective of a year gone by. I’m really aware that what I write today will be a 'version' of my thoughts given current mood and circumstances.
so
Something from this year that:
* you've been proud of
- maybe starting to understand boundaries better.
- getting through crises better
- the fewest hospital admissions or sh since my mi began
* you're thankful for
- the forum, SANE helpline, my therapist, my family, my friend, my groups
* you learned
- I’ve learned soooo much this year, it is hard to condense it. I think I’m learning what resilience is. I’m learning who I am more (the good, bad and the ugly 🤭). I’m learning from watching others navigate really hard tricky stuff.
* was a highlight moment
hmmm I really can’t think of one. I think I’ve lived pretty much vicariously through others this year again and my highlights would be seeing others achieve great things (no matter how big or small they really are).
A hope you have for next year
- to find a way to survive next year and all it’s challenges.
- to volunteer
- maybe to have my own highlight moments, not solely having them vicariously.
- to really feel life again, not just survive everything (possibly a bridge too far but we will see)
