What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

Hi everyone! This is my first ever forum post so do hope it lands where it’s meant to 🤣

Most days, I like to find a highlight 😊. Usually, that means during a walk with my dog, I try to spot something different, something cool or something that brings me some happiness. Whether it’s something big or small, it doesn’t matter. A highlight can be anything!

I love taking photos and would really like to share and see what you've come across. Something that made you smile, sparked your interest, or simply caught your eye. For me, it’s all the little things that count on the hard days.


To start, I’d like to share these beautiful birds I came across today. They like to appear like branches of a tree or the tree itself. They are called Tawny Frogmouth’s. Has anyone else seen these types of birds? My pics below -(hopefully not too small to see two in the tree on the left pic).

What have you seen today? ☀️💛🙏

Many years ago at the beginning of my mental health journey I saw a psychologist who came close to convincing me that my beloved mother must have abused me.

I quickly stopped seeing him when I realised that he was either grasping at straws or transferring his own issues to me.

Luckily I have now found support from some extremely dedicated and helpful professionals

@PeppyPatti

Thanks for the reassurance.

I was obviously "ripe for the picking" to that charlatan.

Had I been stronger at the time I would have report him.

I hate to think that my silence may have caused harm to others. I just have to forgive myself and hope that he was stopped somehow.

@Taali hugs and hugs Taali. talking for myself i have tried to do my best with my kidults which is far from perfect but i have done my best with the hand i was given. my kidults tell me they love me even my autistic son through his silence shows me he loves me and that is all i can ask for.

Hi Buns,

Thank you for the hugs 🫂

That's the first time I actually put my experience out there

Have hidden self loathing for a long time.

I know I was at a weak point and am ashamed that the thought of someone or something was to blame rather than dealing with the knowledge that I was actually mentally unwell and self medicating mostly with alcohol as an escape. And became an addiction.

Whoah... a bit of a pour out.

Anyway. I thank you very much.

T 💋

@Taali hey Taali i remember parts of the time when i went crazy. i remember thinking i was magical and could lip read and that the voices i could hear were from microphones put in my house by god only knows who! i remember once the voice coming out from my computer told me to hurt myself which i did then i went to the local shopping centre visibly hurt but no one not security, no one helped me. i think looking back it was a cry for help (me getting to the shopping cenre that is) .... i still have a scar from it.

i was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder late in life due to trauma. i am medicated. sometimes when i forget to take my meds i see things like for example i was walking back into my bedroom and a shadow person ran across the room infront of me, which reminds me that i am still have it..... it will never go away.
