Taking Time #MightyTogether #caring #Kindness

“How are you doing?”
We ask and respond to this question, what, maybe a couple dozen times a week? Maybe more.
I have never really given the question much thought, it’s just a greeting you throw out.
What I have noticed is that, if I take the time to respond to the question, that people generally are not that interested.

Abusing my Mother

My mother is the only person who cares about me and I treat her very badly. My mum is always pushing me to do better. Make friends and socialise, get a new job and make more money, get a new car, clean the house up and get a girl friend.

I don't know if my mum realises how miserable and sad I am. I blame my mother for all my problems and she blames herself. She is literally the only person who calls me to see how I am and I push her away swearing at her and threatening her. I think she called me "by accident" after our conversation crying and said it was a mistake. I should feel terrible about the way I speak to my mother but somehow it relieves me of a lot of my troubles.

I am putting all my issues on my mother and causing her significant stress. I don't know how she feels because its all about me. Everything is about me and my troubles. I feel bad about how I speak to her but I think it is more about pushing her away and completely isolating myself. Once I am completely isolated is when I really consider whether my life is worth living. Fortunately or unfortunately, (depends on which way you want to look at it) she will never let that happen.

She will call again tomorrow, sometimes I wish she would let me be but I would be no better off. I love my mother more than anything and she knows that. I got clean and straightened my life out for my family with my mums support. No matter how much trouble I caused her she was always there for me. I feel bad treating her so poorly but she brings the worst out in me.

I hope my mum doesn't feel like she has failed as a mother. I think she feels bad because I am not happy, hurting and suffering.

I think she just wants me to be happy. She is not stupid and can see that I am miserable and hates seeing me this way.

Welcome, y’all! Fellow horse (any animals, really) lovers, come one and all! #horsesrmagic

I created this group for every fellow horse lover, as the horse world is rough, especially if you’re dealing with any kind of mental and/or physical health issues. This includes everything from #Depression , #Drug Abuse, #Anxiety Disorders, #body Image Issues, #relationship Issues, or just #animal Lover (and the struggle that comes with being a #sensitive , #Feeling & #caring person for them), etc.

All animal welfare topics are welcomed, but the point of this group is specifically meant to be geared to equestrians and horses.

If you’re an #Equestrian , or an aspiring/working one, we know the challenges that can stand in the way of this. Therefore, let’s chat about it. We can unite and meet our goals! #Horses ARE magic!

January'sTheme~Caring ( New Video)

Just want to say this is an awesome idea!!

Loki and I keep each other going!
I know if I didn't have him, I wouldn't be as active as I am if he wasn't in my life.
My Loki depends on me to care for him! I brush his coat and his teeth, I sometimes bathe him ( other times I take him to the groomers) give him two different meals, treats, train, play and exercise him. I love doing it! Just makes my day to see him happy!!
Loki cares for me too, anytime I cough, sneeze or even cry he checks on me, if I am in horrible state he lays close to me, he grooms me, gives me a bath after I already had one, he makes me laugh, plays with me, keeps me company while I am in the bathroom, protects me and is just always there!
Because I have poured my grief and turned it into love for Loki and do all the things I wanted to do with Tucker, the bond between Loki and I is something amazing!
Today I doubled up on the layers and took my boy out for a walk and some playtime at the park regardless of the weather! I only stayed out for a safe amount of time for Loki's sake. Good day for sure!

Invisible Army

This is a love letter to all the 53 million family caregivers out there. XOXO HZ
Dear “Invisible Army”,
As we approach National Family Caregiver Month I want you to know I am here for you.
I am your advocate, defender, and non-judgemental friend you may lean on.
I hear your secret cries in the shower, cars, and bathroom stalls alone.
I understand the frustration and sadness of what was and what is.
I see YOU when you are in the shadows and behind the scenes making sure your loved ones have the spotlight as you find your light fading.
All 53 million of you.
I feel your isolation, pain, guilt, shame, and loss of self.
I share in your triumph of having 15 minutes alone.
I grant you grace when you are barely treading water.
I will emphasize self-compassion for you are only human.
I will breathe with you when the doctor brushes you off, because how could you who are on the clock 24/7 and deal with crisis after crisis on a daily basis possibly know what is going on with your loved one when you didn’t choose to go into this field.
I will advocate for you when work questions “Again? Didn’t something just happen?” Yes, I will say with you and say yes it did just happen and it will happen again and again and thank you for the support and shared understanding.
I will not apologize anymore with you for the chaos that is ours and embrace it.
I hand you my voice to advocate for yourself.
I give permission to you to start putting boundaries so you may find your joy again.
I empower you to dig into your trauma and acknowledge your grief.
I will hold this safe space for you to begin your forgiveness journey of self and others.
I gift you light and love to fill the cracks of your broken heart and spirit so you may begin to rebuild both to become stronger and greater.
I laugh with you at the healing power of dark humor.
I will challenge you to find the beauty in this brutal life we lead.
I will gladly conduct this hot mess express and advance us into the light.
I want you to know I am here for you.
I am your advocate, defender, and non-judgemental friend you may lean on.
Love,
One of Fifty-three million.

UNDERSTAND that Symptoms are exactly that: SYMPTOMS. Unchangeable🙊 & Jus Know Dat Ya Really Can't Fully Understand How Bad, its Like Inside of A Mind During Madness Unless You've Completely Broken Down Yourself..

Please JUST BE NICE & CONSIDERATE. Mental Illness is LITERAL HELL. & TORTURE OF what You're Absolutely ALWAYS Supposed to Be In Charge Of. Yo Brain.. ❤🎗

Who is your Charlie? #Depression #Relationships #MentalHealth

When I was in year 7 at high school we had a school camp. So on the day of the camp I was walking to school, crossing a creek like I did every day when an old man who worked for the council yelled to me, “They can’t be so bad son, just go home and talk with them”.

I looked at him stunned. He continued, “It’s ok, old Charlie knows that sometimes your parents are hard to live with, just talk to them “. I told him I was going to a school camp and not running away from home. He replied, “You can tell ol’ Charlie the truth”. I assured him I was. He then told me he had run away when he was little too.

To this day I am grateful for this well intentioned and caring guy.

Who has been your “Charlie”? Who has crossed your path and cared enough to get involved?
