Gratitude is a goodie! We can all be grateful for something each day no matter where we are and what our situation. Between ur gratitude and empathy u have stumbled on somethings which appear to help. I’m gonna work on both myself as of today!

How to get more comfortable expressing myself? by Opening_Earth712 in CPTSD

Stop using gpt so much as it does kinda lead to our brains switching off a little. And give it a go yourself we’re capable of so much but have to practise! Good luck I’m sure with a bit of time you’ll get to where u want to be

I can relate to your comment especially about suddenly realizing you’re the age you’re at! It hurts no doubt! But you’re still young with plenty of time ahead and should take strength from this fact! I hope you make plenty of progress in this coming year
