    Thanks for posting up this challenge @Stephanie! Loving the Halloween ideas for next week. 

    I'm very grateful for my blanket at the moment! It's fluffy and it keeps me so warm. It's been getting so cold this week!
    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 ❤

    I am grateful for everyone at The Mix, for my mum and for Cats Protection Trust (they put a Facebook post up about my missing cat who has now been found and is safely home cuddled up on me.)

    I'm grateful for having a wonderful community who supports everyone no matter what, but also the amazing and loving people who are in the community. <3

     @Aife and @BubblesGoesBoo, Your comments made me laugh xD

    Teddy. Having a sick day off work. Sleep. 
    & @The Mix cause every other support site has banned me apart from here <3 
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    A lot of people. The list would probably take up a whole page so I will just say that it is a lot of people.

    Elefriends banned me cause i was suicidal eventho so much worse stuff from other people. 7 cups banned me cause someone reported my abuse i suffered as being a troll. Beat has banned me and they wont tell me why. 

    Tho now i think about it im actually grateful of that too lol. It means i can be less on my phone and be more grateful of the support i do have on here & because other places didnt help me as much as here does <3

    I am grateful for my employer... I could not ask for management more understanding of my mental health.. no matter how many times I'm off or get sectioned they always promise that I have a job to come back too. Also grateful for payday and being able to afford the shoes I've been eyeing up for 2 months 😂
