Happiness

Happiness

I just need to share this: for the first time in so very long, today I actually feel happy. Nothing particularly exciting happened - in fact something unpleasant occurred. It hasn't taken my pleasure away. I had a picnic lunch with another mother and our children. We sat in the sun, on some grass near a playground.
We initially sat somewhere else, and were moved on for being inadvertently on "private" land, but it didn't upset me. It was a simple, enjoyable time. And I feel happy. I think I'd forgotten how that feels.
I feel light. This is wonderful. Wow!

Re: Happiness

@Former-Member I can see over several days that you have had some 'difficultie's on here. That is not a nice feeling for anyone. I have found myself in a similar position a few times here also. I can also see that everything you say here comes from your heart and from a deep place of truly caring. Please Bella know that there is a place here for you and your beautiful soul.

Not everyone has the same beliefs, values, or ways of seeing the world - but what makes you so special is that you lay all these out very openly for everyone to see and that is a gift Bella. Your love, support and compassion do shine brightly and there are many here who benefit from your presence.

I can sense a deep sadness within you at the moment Bella and naturally you want to pull back to help to repair your heart - and that is ok to do - but please know how much you are cared for and that we are here for you too.

My personal beliefs are very different from yours Bella but the underlying essence of what we both believe is the same - treating each other with care, compassion, respect and the recognition that everyone has a right to a happy and fulfilled life.

Thinking of you Bella...

Zoe

Re: Happiness

@Former-Member - I'm so sorry you beautiful posts have been tainted by the unhappiness of others. I understand your need to leave. I just want to say, you always brought some light, love and laughter into my dark days. Go if you must but I will feel your loss immensely as I already am. 💔💔💔

Re: Happiness

PS
@Sans911
The Fairy was just silly fun, childish humor in an adult way, that's all not the real me. Just word games & funny rhymes not madness just clever fun words messed around & played with to make some sense out of none sense, see?
Made me giggle if no one else, not heavy, or mind boggling, just fun & pain free!
Either to accept or to disregard. Always there are choices in life unless in some sort of mental chain?
I am free to be me, no mental chain here!
I was just having fun?
not enough people want or know how to have fun, for some strange reason?
I never had or have that problem, thank GOD! 🙂
XO 🙂
Love YOU!

Re: Happiness

The fairy was you @Former-Member - beautiful, bright and free - I loved your fairy - I know we haven't connected much here but it made me smile when I saw it - and that is a blessing sometimes on here

Re: Happiness

Hi @Former-Member thank you for considering that i may need someone to talk too. Very much appreciated and very kind, caring and thoughtful to say something like that. There's no denying that I'm emotionally fragile... (which is internalized, really does torment me 😊 and is based solely around relationships ) anxiety ) people's responses to me. Make a world of difference.

Re: Happiness

Hello again @Former-Member it seems you've taken a liking too me? Yes i would very much like for you to get to know me better so we can become good friends. I can only be myself really. And it's very much revolved around putting my thoughts into words. (Whether verbal or written) which comes from my life story. My experiences. And prospectives on myself. Reality and others. (I like it when you ask questions.)

I like getting good responses from people. As a pose too no response at all. (Or the wrong side response ) i figure it is instinctively inside of me. Too seek good, strong and durable traits out of the people I'm dealing with. However, it is a very draining and tiring process. because i never know what the next response will be. Which is one of my greatest fears. And alot of my insecurities stem from. (Imagining a bad response... or clinging to the next response.. (creates positive and negative symptoms ). -is a draining thing to go through... but also very motivating to make sure lol I'm putting my thoughts into words (verbal or written ) in a precise and concise way...) which is acceptable...

Oh my goodness 😊

Hence, putting my thoughts into words. (Whether verbal or written. ) is based around seeking a certain something (reaction ). And then once the communication has taken place and correspondence begins. (Responses ) The chemicals that I'm searching for begin flowing. And the meaning of my life comes true. Helps me live a better life also. Couldbe seen as crazy or insanity?

Re: Happiness

@eudemonism, no need to thank me, sometimes all we need is someone to listen to us, to validate that what we are going through is real, valid and just really hard at times. And to let us know that we are not alone, that even though we are going through different experiences, we all have one thing in common and that it to improve our lives

Re: Happiness

@Former-Member thank you that is a really grounding message to read. I am being tormented bye my mental health issues. And everything i have read about my diagnosis of schizophrenia is a reality. It is a very troubling and stressful ordeal.
