Why I became..

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 miss people too

I wish bluebicycle hadn't deleted her account but c'est la vie.

I find this to be accurate...

Beth, we had chardonnay last night (I've got lost somewhere in the check in thread )

Sometimes I identify with the Winnie the Pooh character Eeyore.

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.

I feel like a dog. I love walks, car rides, and am excited all the time

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.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate

Thanks for posting this, it made me smile

Have you rescued your bear from the top drawer, bizi?

no not yet. I forgot...bad girl!

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.
