    Sorry I've been so quiet on this thread since I posted it. I have enjoyed reading all your replies though, they are making me smile through what is a very difficult time for me at the minute, so I guess something that has made me feel positive is this community, you're all amazing :heart:

    Something that made me feel happy was my supervisor telling me they appreciate everything I do for work, like going in at short notice and covering for other people :)

    I'm having a really bad eating day but instead of not eating at all I'm eating little things mainly crisps but it's something :)

    Something that's made me feel positive was I got through the night without self harming :)

    something that's made me so happy! was at the pub last night and someone was saying he's been feeding a stray cat for about a week and showed me a picture, and it just happens to be my dad's cat that's been missing over a month now! she's now home safe and sound :)

    Aw that's so sweet! So happy to hear you found your dads cat after all this time :)<3
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    What's made me happy today is I finally sorted out my positivity wall  =) it's full of bits and quotes from my recovery friends  <3 cheers me up whenever I look at it :)

    Had so much fun making positive quote cards the other week for my recovery buddies and they loved them so I got some more card and washi tape to make more ! Distractions at its finest 👌👌

    Your positivity  wall is amazing bubbles! i might try and make one for myself :)

    as for me i did have a bit of remorse for not going to college today but it was just two lessons and my hip was killing so didn't fancy the bus.

    i've perked though just through sheer thinking that "you know what? i didn't not go for nothing, i can only do my best"
    i'm doing my assignment though which makes me feel positive and as for happy i'm packing my bag ready to go to my partners tomorrow and its just reminded me how its actually happening and i can't wait  <3

    I’m atucally looking forward to the next CBT group in a few weeks - suprisingly I made 2 new friends and another girl I already knew . We laughed so much I don’t think I ever laughed that’s muched - we laughed so much to the poitnoff we got told off 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ The only awkward thing was one of the clinicians already knew my mum and she was my sister man clinican like 5 years ago so god knows how she rembered her 😊
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    I made my return, hey everyone! ♥️♥️
    I hope your all okay, missed being here but needed to come back. I think a break did me good even though things are really tough in regards to being here at the moment which I will explain in future. 

    I am feeling like okay after talking to my best friend Elliana, she is such a positive person and it rubs off on me. 

    Hope your all doing okay :)

    I have a similar thing, but it's a wall where all the stuff with sentimental value goes, just above my writing desk. It gives me a boost of positivity to add something to it, makes me think that one day I might be able to look back at this wall, and remember the time when I almost lost it all, but still came through and survived. It's a reason to live for me.

    Honestly getting on my coach home.
    Although it made me sad to leave I get to go back in 3 weeks and see him often 💕 and I've had a lovely time seeing new places to tick off my big travel list, including London which is massive!  Everything is so tall!  Bit of a big city for this tiny seaside girl but nevertheless somewhere new 😂

    Something that made me feel positive today was being productive and getting important stuff done ❤️

    Also congrats on your engagement Floxy, wish you both a wonderful future together!

    Something that's made me feel happy is I managed 6! days in a row at work! Might not seem like a big deal but ive barely been managing 4 days without self harming and ending up in hospital, and 2 months ago couldn't even manage a whole shift :)
