Why I became a bear....

Does anyone else identify with the long hibernations, wondering in the woods, eating salmon.... I'm tired of being ''human'' since so many are mean (not anyone here) I think I identify more with bears when in a depressive episode. Also teddy bears can and often do, represent love and a ''safe place''..

Do you identify with an animal? Particularly, maybe, when in an episode (not necessarily ''depressive'')?

I've been throwing out some old clothes today. Not fun.

I miss many who are no longer here I wonder if any of them read (logged out) occasionally....

I find this to be accurate...

''Can we please stop associating strength with someone's ability to smile through tears and suffer in silence. Strength is being brave enough to talk about what's hurting you on the inside..''

This is a really good thread, Fuzzy

I think Chardonnay is a white wine? Oh... it must be because you ate it with fish

I saw a French wine that costs $2,400 per bottle

Animal...I don't exactly identify as a specific animal, but my Chinese astrological animal is tiger.

A few weeks ago I went through my clothing and threw out the unusable stuff. Now I have so much more space in my dresser.

There was a time moons ago that I slept with a teddy bear and would take it on trips with us. I one time lost my bear and a motel we had stayed at in pensecola for the weekend. they found him under the bed and sent him back to me.

I was so happy to have my bear back.
Don't know when I put him in my top drawer.
Think that I will rescue him from the drawer and have a cuddle before bed.

My dad nicknamed me Moose when I was born because I was 3 pounds 4 ounces. He still calls me Moose! That's the animal I identify with. I even have a tattoo of one.

I think it’s cool you identify with bears - the cuddly and the wild types, fuzzy bear.

I don’t know that I can identify with a creature personally although I do love many types of animals.

I too miss people from here, and I hope they’re doing okay. I struggle with change generally and miss people irl too.
