You can make it through irisblue!

I wish you all the luck in the world. I wish my son would do what you are doing.

My 6 yr old grand daughter, asked me if it was real twice during the clip.😆

Sending positive vibes ..... From one Ohioan to another.....

I’m sending positive and healing thoughts your way. Keep us posted with your progress.

You just have to get through today. One day at a time.

(I came across this poem someone once shared with me, perhaps it will help you get through your day)

TRUST THE DARKNESS NOW

If you are lost.
If nothing makes sense anymore.
If all your reference points have collapsed.
If the old life is crumbling now.
If the mind is foggy, tired, busy.
If the organism is exhausted and longs to rest.
Celebrate.
Trust.
This is a rite of passage, not an error.
You are healing in your own original way.
Contact the ground now.
Breathe. In, out.
Make room for the visitors:
The sorrow, doubt, fear, anger.
An ancient emptiness -
They just want to be felt.
They just want to pass through.
You are a vessel, not a separate self.
You are a sky, not the passing weather.
An old life is falling away.
A new life is being born.
Others may not understand.
But trust anyway.
Celebrate.
Contact the ground.

Always, I can get through one more minute. Sometimes, after a couple minutes the urge passes -- and you get relief. Even if it's temporary, relief is sweet. Keep on the path. You can do this -- I did so you can too

and sending love and positive energy your way. You can do it, one hour at a time, one minute at a time.

and respected. I, in speaking for myself, value your input and energy, and I always look forward to your words of wisdom. Lots of love to you and yours!

You mean so much to our community.

until it passes. Even if it is days.

I have done the best things for me I know how to, but learning how to ask for help has always been very difficult, cause co-dependents .... Well you know😶

how good you feel when you are not struggling, how you seem then and how life works so much better.

You are worth saving, you are worth living and we all want you here with us.

You are strong and when you are not strong we are and we can help. I am so glad you came here. I just happened to see this. I have been through this with my husband more than 3 times. I can tell you from his words, starting over again is the worst and it never ever feels like you think it will if you go back.

Many hugs, lots of hearts. Breathe deeply over and over and remember, you are loved and we only want the very best for you. We can be strong for you when you need to lean.

Sorry I never expressed that before.

Say Iris, you are one of my favorite posters on DU. I always feel great vibes from you.

Sending my favorite vibes to you.

gently and compassionate with yourself. It's worth the effort.

Hugs and support from Florida.

you cannot get outside, focus on one of the five senses and breath deeply. When your mind wanders to past of future bring it back. And say cancel cancel at any bad thoughts you have. Best. It will get better.

You have what it takes, I know you do, you have been through worse than this and got past it OK.

For Today and Everyday !!!!!!! (I also went to a 12 step meeting today)
.......You are not alone..
