Lately I have been feeling hopeless, angry, sad and pained. Having many of my family members who walked out of my life and dealing with the loss of my closest of friends -combine that with my ptsd from abuse and none of my usual coping strategies were working. I would usually draw, hike and all the usual coping strategies. I am now feeling hopeful about a new one I have come up with and hope it inspires others. Has it changed my mood? no. However, it did take me away from the negative coping strategies, so here it is:

A bird has always had a personal symbolic meaning to me so i felt to cope that when i was falling down the pained path i would create paper silhouette birds- sure i cried a lot while doing it but as i go through the path of healing those birds i make go up on my wall and since the symbolic meaning of a bird gives me hope in hard times i hope seeing those birds flying all over my room brings a more peaceful setting to my room.

I just recently started this idea and I hope i will not be alone! Maybe there is something that holds a deep meaning to you like butterflies, leaves ect. It is worth a shot and when we finally heal i think the room will look beautiful! Anyone with me on this one?
