This is a really cool thread.

Being sensitive in our world is very painful. We have been handed a really unique deck of cards, now we just have to learn to play it effectively. We may have added obstacles and handicaps but everyone has something.

I have been struggling with this a lot too. I have been debilitated with PTSD for the last three years from unethical therapists / healthcare professionals. I have been repeatedly traumatized in the past three years wherever I go for help. It was one thing after the other and I had enough a long time ago! I don't know what keeps me going but I do know that life isn't all bad. A few moments each day where I can feel the sun on my face or wrap up under a blankie with my teddy bears makes life worth living. It is vitally important that we look after ourselves.

One thing is for certain: we humans are incredibly resilient when faced with life's challenges. I don't believe we give ourselves enough credit. I know I don't. I am surprised I ever survived the last three years but the cool thing is - there is always something good that can come from our negative experiences. Sometimes we just need time to process things in order to become something better and stronger. A phoenix rising from the ashes. We sufferers are SO strong. A constant reminder of this and taking a few moments each day to really appreciate the small things we have; like the sink we can wash dishes in, or the toilet in our bathroom. The water at our disposal at any given moment. The fact we are not at war in our country.

Not minimizing our experiences or invalidating our suffering (our emotions are normal reactions to abnormal circumstances).
