• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I'm thankful for Soulwings posts :) And the smile she put on my face this morning with her giggle :)
Aww thanks :hug:

Today I'm thankful for the people here at CF with whom I can fellowship and get/give advice and support ... protein bars (without which I have no clue what I'd be eating), treatment for various mental illnesses, love - from God and family/friends/boyfriend -, chai, good books, and my SI recovery bracelet.

:hug:s to all. :)

I'm thankful for being able to enjoy food again - well, sort of - haven't quite got all the way there yet. For backrubs and sharp pencils and digital cameras and God's blessings. For hands and eye shadow and chai and the ability to cook and not burn things. :p For hugs and CF and good memories.

I'm thankful for music too, and cuddly cats, and unexpected phone calls from my special one. I'm thankful for hot chai with soymilk, stuffed animals, soothing lotion, and bubble baths. I'm thankful for fun socks, the color black, and the ability to learn and study. The scent of fallen leaves and the sound of falling snow. I'm thankful for life, and for days when I realise that I am thankful for life.

I'm thankful for surviving the bad nights, for warm hugs and raspberry lattes. I'm thankful for toasty warm wood fires, on cold and windy evenings. I'm thankful for the blustery gale that howls 'round the eaves on such nights. I'm thankful for P.G. Wodehouse and other uplifting authors. And I'm thankful for everyone here, whether I know you or not. :hug::hug::hug:

Today I'm thankful for fresh hot coffee that just slides down your throat, for people that I can email and really be honest with, for Christ-focused music that will bring me back from mental places that I don't want to be. I'm thankful for my family, for putting up with and not giving up on me through the pain I've caused them. I'm thankful for my friends, for being there for me even when they really don't understand what I'm going through. And I'm thankful for fuzzy socks that look funky and are uber comfortable, chai lattes, and cuddly dogs who don't mind being around me now. :)

I'm thankful for raspberry lattes, for big warm hoodies, for soft, comfy armchairs and sweet emails. I'm thankful for what I've been through, because it's taught me so much, about myself and about others. I'm thankful that I've got a future beyond suicide to look forward to now, that people have given me second and third and thirty-seventh chances to recover, and that I'm doing well in my classes this semester.

I'm thankful for diet green tea, good headphones, tshirts with interesting/funny/thought-provoking things on them, loving nicknames, and purple and green pens. I'm thankful for museums, ice cream cones, and slant rhymes. I'm thankful for the still small voice that comes sometimes, gentle hugs, and people who play with my hair.
