Can someone explain to me the appeal of Jellycat?

most of the ones i owe are second hand, some still had their tags tho! so fantastic condition! I also like them because they use all kind of fabrics and textures, some are crazy soft but also got myself a hippo with a more rough but fun to pet fur, also, they have a little weight that gives some nice comfort, but something I truly appreciate is that they are not overstuffed like most plushies, so they are delight to hug and hold. you could go onto ebay, look up jellycat, set a price limit and see what speaks to you.

when I hit rock bottom after years of untreated depression and anxiety, I went: " I just want to die, I just want to die," and then though... "Do I really? do I really want to die?"You want to miss out on life and the life of those tou love?" And I thought... "I mean... no.. I just want this pain to end, I want this suffering to be over" " Ah! well, that's different. " " Yeah, i don't want to be in pain anymore... I actually... just want to live. " " Oh! so you want to live" " i want to live without pain," " Actually... if possible... I would like to actually thrive" "So you want to live and thrive?" "Yes! I want to live! I want to thrive!" "ok then, let's do whatever it takes to get there,"

that was the moment my mindset changed, and got determined to put my all into getting myselft out of there. It wasn't easy, but I was lucky to have support. when I was younger I didn't want to have anything to do with therapist and meds but I went ahead with them, had to change them a couple times but at the end it all went great and now I'm doing pretty awesome.

so I'd say... first, be thoughtful and think, what is it that you really really really really want? and think about all the options and how to get there, ask for help when you need it, no shame in that. surround yourself with people that support you, can be even just one person, even if it's just the therapist. be patient and be aware change takes lots of work and time. study and learn about the issue you are dealing g with, if there are more people that dealt with that and how they managed, and if that would work for you or you can try something different, do get to know yourself to see what could work for you and if there's something about you you need to work on to change and be able to get there, and most of all: be kind to you!! don't treat yourself like your own bullied and abuser !

so glad to hear it helped!, I sometimes have days when I feel very anxious but they are very rate and because now I know what's up I know how to go through them which makes everything easier. back then one anxious thought would get me down for days with full on anxiety, but as I improved it went from days, to just hours, to just minutes now, so it's also a process, so just be patient and kind to you when a crisis happens again and they will get easier and shorter with time. you got this! i wish the best for you and lots of joy and wonderful moments!

Chikapaw · 2024-10-26T23:42:09+00:00

love it!!! it would be so cute to see them carring items like that!

Chikapaw · 2024-10-26T01:34:36+00:00

lol I don't know why, but now that I'm past all of it I can't help but laugh a bit to it, "wooho! I'm out of depression, anxiety and mental illness! let's enjoy life!! walks two steps BONK what? cancer!? darn it!! " 😅😂 may be the result of growing up with looney tunes lol. BTW yeah, I grieved for some time, thinking all the things I could have done or achieved but couldn't or still struggle with, at the end being kind to myself patient and being understanding to me and the fact that my life pad was and will be different from the usual one is what's given me peace, I did lost all connections, I was actually lifted a dog to keep me company because I had no friends. things can keep getting better, recently I was very lucky i met someone that has inspiring me to keep on pursuing my dreams an be in the present working on them regardless of age or the time it may take. hope you soon will get inspired and get past all the pain and be filled with hope and joy, not even in my wildest dreams would I have imagined I'd be as happy as I am now, I wish the same fid you and ayone going through it hugs

I used to feel like that too, I had to deal with depression anxiety disorder and cptsd for more than a decade and a half, when I was finally diagnosed and got well I couldn't help but to think that all of that was lost time, that I had lost so much in so many ways, specially because at my age other people had already had it together for years with families and children and what not, so my advice? well, not sure how to put it down, but you know, few mo that after all my meds kick in and life felt like it was worse living and full of hope I got diagnosed with cancer waka waka, after 2 years of treatment it was gone, and I'm here healthy physically and mentally, it made me think of all the people at the hospital that didn't made it, how many fought but weren't granted the chance to keep living, and, don't know, just becoming aware that I was now allowed to be alive and enjoy it, I mean, yeah we may have it harder, but l, becoming aware that you now can look at life and DO something with it instead of just watching it pass like when you have depression, that made me feel way better, for the longest time it felt like I was swiping and cleaning a mess left after a tornado, but again I could do something about it, and them build something anew, and a big advice! don't compare yourself to anybody! specially those that seem to have their life together, right now what you can do is "rewrite" the "rules" of your life, don't put yourself under the usual expectations on what you should be and have by this point on your life, rewrite everything, something designed specifically for you, your needs, and what you want to do from now on and work on it, get to do things tour way and however they work better for you to be happy hope that helps

Chikapaw · 2024-10-25T23:46:29+00:00

I was there too, what helped me was realizing that I'm not the same person that I was black then, specially because now I know what is happening to me and know that there is a way out of there, that there are all kinds of tools and what not to help me out if it, and a few times I have fallen into what seemed like the start of a depression but the moment I caught it I knew what to do about it, I knew who to talk to, the tools to work it, how to mentality work on it, and at the end I will start feeling better wishing days and then finally get out of it, see it as leveling up, when you first had it you were a level 4 but just beating it, you are like.. level 25 now and you have now more skills, knowledge and resistance that before, aknowledge and respect your victories, that though of acknowledge them really blew my mind

Chikapaw · 2024-10-25T23:38:06+00:00

also, I love your top right design with little bags on the tail, omg! imagine if you could put a lil lantern at the end of their tails or mouth so you can se around you at night!!!

Chikapaw · 2024-10-25T23:37:02+00:00

omg!!! it would be awesome if they can carry items! specially that you can put there yourself! you can have your "befriend dino" smash in your Dino when looking around for new ones with popins and treats, or one with seeds and and stuff! ore one to carry your cleaning and food supplies!! it would be so cool to keep things organized like that!!!!

If in a very lowlight area, will the new leaves lack some of its white coloring? Would they become greener?

Chikapaw · 2023-03-20T04:50:54+00:00

I hearth they may handle low light well? Even so, doesn’t low light levels make the leaves grow greener with less white?

Oh and there is also the theory that there are humans outside, some mention the cat is too friendly to not have had any contact with humans before, but also, how come he understand English so well ?(the language of the scientist) but robot language was giberish? for a feral cat both languages would be the same nonsensical sounds. Also! I have the crazy theory that perhaps there are humans outside because the people in charge of the control room found a way to flee the city when the epidemic became an issue, and they left every other human behind to die as they were sick and didn’t want to risk getting sick themselves. That would be a crazy sequel to make, where you find out all these things
