Our inner snake...

Hi Fuzzy. If this was a response to my post, I was referring to mediTation, not medication. Peace to you.

Hi SilverTrees
You’re right, papa bear was posting for me earlier on and he misread it. I’m trying to teach him how to post. I dictated what I wanted to say. My paws weren’t clean so I couldn’t type. I do try meditation sometimes. Sorry about the mistake. peace

No problem. Have a great day

@SilverTrees:

Yes, SilverTrees. I've found meditation, mindfulness, CBT, self affirmations, definitely have their place depending on the person, medication too. Glad CBT and meditations are helping you.

With me, because my mental illness [and I do call it an illness - it's certainly not wellness!] is very strong, at the end of the day it's really only the medication and the will of a Higher Power, propping me up[!]

But I have found that simply by venting, sharing my thoughts, be they negative, positive or neutral, has a funny way of giving me something I feel is often missing - a sense of self acceptance. Very important in many ways, probably for others as well. I believe it's the concept behind the idea of 'As Is' which you read in the Depression forum here sometimes too.

So that's why I like this thread, SilverTrees. Because it offers a platform for venting, expressing, supporting, for this particular inner struggle and perspective.

Just hoping this may offer you an insight into "Our inner snake..." friend.

Peace and wellbeing to us all!

since I can’t take medication... and I know I’m not the only person who can’t take it...
I find being able to vent here particularly valuable....
Being able to vent is one of the avenues that isn’t denied to me...
(Meds, pets, cubs, supportive parental units.. I do not have...)
I’m very appreciative of all who post here to support others....
Particularly with reference to our inner snake....
I think those with non supportive parental units probably understand the “inner snake”
It isn’t something that is likely to be found in a cbt manual..

Sending best wishes and lots of love to all inner snakes who are feeling insecure and in need of some attention.

You are not being needy, you are communicating the best way you know how.

With enough love, maybe our inner snakes will learn to deliver their thoughts in a more loving way...

My inner snake is having a breakdown....

She is trembling with fear
Crumbling from injustice
She wants me to find ultimate peace
I must resist her for the sake of others

((((((((( Thirty shades ))))))))

I’m sorry your snake is in so much pain

Injustice ...

Much love to you, your inner cub and inner snake

Thank you dear bear

Injustice is a big trigger for TS, her inner cub and snake....

Much love to everyone and their inner snakes today

Love to all and all inner snakes.

Much love to you, your inner cub and inner snake

Today my snake is in panic mode....

She is losing her head....

She has caused my inner child to withdraw....

When we are left alone by the big bad world...
This could take a lot of time...
I hope the love I have for you inner snake will help you heal...

I keep trying to think about the saying by that Buddhist nun....
compassion begins with kindness to your own self...
