I'm struggling with the interminable grey and sub zero temperature and several people I love in complete crisis simultaneously.

So I'm doing the thing where you write a list of things you're grateful for every day to balance out the existential dread.

Anyone wanna join in?

I’m grateful for my family, best friend, and my cat :P

How dare you mention your cat without posting a photo

Lol my bad

I am thankful for:

My mum, for going to get help.

And again, for being alive.

My dog, for being the best like always.

My mind, for giving me a dream like respite when I needed it most.

Silver linings.

The spontaneous ten minutes of happiness I encountered for no reason earlier.

Awwww what a baby! I didn't expect my cat related outrage to work, thank you 😇

Even though I don’t like my job and don’t want to do it anymore, I am grateful that I have one and able to make a living off of it.

I am grateful for my friends being willing to tell me the hard truth when they see me being taken advantage of.

I am grateful for walnut cake

I am grateful for this forum because it gave me something to focus on yesterday when I was feeling anxious

I'm grateful to be here.Cause i almost didn't survive this long(D*pression.)

And i'm grateful because so far i don't have any serious chronic illnesses(I'm so afraid of asthma)

I'm so thankful for my mother,not only mt best friend,but she's so tough and loving.

I'm grateful that i get to drink clean water whenever i want,some people in this world don't even have that...

I am grateful for:

All the ways I'm blessed. People are so kind to me constantly, strangers and friends.

My dog, again.

My best friend for making me laugh so much.

This dude stopped in the street to say "you're so beautiful" to me and I felt ugly today.

That's funny. Are you a cat person? I have observed that cats tend to be most attracted initially to those who aren't. Like Groucho Marx refusing to join any club that would have him as a member 😇

Do you feed birds? I am friends with the local crows, they follow me around the neighborhood, it's very cute

Animals tend to love me but it's not because I'm special in any way, I just took the time to learn how to put them at ease. I'd love to work in animal behaviour someday

I’m grateful for movies.

I'm grateful for all of my friends today. When I begin to self-isolate or self-flagellate, they bring me back, remind me I'm loved and needed.

Grateful for my mom

She saw me spiraling into a dark hole and got me out

My husband for loving me even wn when i act crazy and get rly depressed and cry alot and have trust issues

My daughter she made my life brighter t than a star in the dark night

My siblings who check on me even when we live in different countries

My friends who make me smile
