Just one of those text conversations with my neighbour ...
I write sometimes, when I can find time. Will be posting on CoSo and my fb page here >>> https://www.facebook.com/JackieSparxWild/

Well, it's way past my bedtime.
To new #CoSoNauts brought here because @Tomgreen told you to, you can now officially say "my bum is on the CoSo". Tomorrow, we will discuss delicious cheese sandwiches.
To *all* new CoSoNauts, welcome regardless. Navigation takes getting used to. I've been here about a year & a half maybe, yet there's still so much I do not know, but I love it here. I paid for a premium subscription because I fully believe in this thingy called Counter Social.
I was also gonna add, that if you want to gain some followers, drop your account names below, and please be kind and follow back, folks! Let's grow this thingy!
Part 2
The bell is your notifications and the envelope is your inbox messages. To the far right with the three horizontal lines you will find where you can edit and access your own CoSo profile.
Welcome new #CoSoNauts & thank you for joining us at #CoSo. If you have any questions I'll do what I can to make it up - I mean help* - but whatever I can't answer, a more tenured CoSoNaut may be able to help. Also User Guide is your friend.
Remember there are no obtrusive notifications with this app, you have to physically find them under the bell up top of the screen ^^
To the left with the people icon is "Community Firehose", the house icon is the feed including your friends, the bell then
It's easy to get wrapped up in the down days, but it's getting easier to pull myself out of them & press forward. And that, my friends, is progress!
I forgot to update on my journey. I completed my CBT course and came out the other side better for it, but still struggling with some things.
I took Anger Management (Options To Anger) a second time, and that helped me even further.
Of course I still have some soul searching to do, but I think that's what life is all about; living, learning and loving. And forgiving (starting with the self).
And here we are; week 5 of CBT complete and this coming week will be the most difficult yet, but most fulfilling, I can tell. I am being challenged to step out of myself to get back to some of the things I love & want to try. Writing, journaling, yoga & impromptu dance parties in the livingroom...
Week 2, session 2 of CBT 10 week program complete.
I felt really good about my session yesterday. It was hugely beneficial, relaxing and informative. I gained some more insight on myself and how to better cope, I unlocked more tools within and I was refreshed on techniques I already know, but haven't used in a while.
I feel blessed & hopeful. CBT has homework every week, so it's a practical therapy providing practical solutions to real & percieved problems.
Can hardly wait for what's next
This is the face of a mother, a sister, a daughter, a cousin & a friend.
The face of a woman who is always tired, but always tries.
The face of mental illness & wellness and psychological warfare from within.
This is the face of trauma & survival.
It's my face & I love it.
Full disclosure: on my journey I have needed help more times than I can count, but I am happy to say, I'm reaching again and tomorrow I start CBT.
I can hardly wait to see what the future holds for me; I feel it is good.
