I'm Pretty Darn Lucky

I’m so grateful for my life. I know challenges arise, but I’m incredibly blessed to have such a great support system, which includes everyone on this site.

I’m so grateful for modern medicine and the science we’ve discovered for it. I know it’s not perfect, but I’m grateful for my health insurance that I will pay for by myself in a few years. Still, it’s provided me with the ability to go to therapy and receive medications that have helped tamper symptoms.

Most of all, I’m grateful to be alive because I struggle with this one, however, I’m learning to be more grateful again.

What are you guys grateful for?

I’m grateful I have a roof over my head and water and food. I have my grandma and uncle to thank for that.

I’m grateful for my daughter.

I’m also grateful to live in a time when psych meds are more advanced… or maybe I’m just lucky, but I’m also grateful for that luck too lol.

Ummm… Hmmm…

I’m grateful I get to go grocery shopping for different foods.

I’m grateful for my awesome family and friends.

I don’t consider myself lucky but very blessed. For all my psychiatric and medical conditions, I am still rather robust and healthy in spite of it all. I am fortunate enough to be posessed of many resources, blessings and graces granted me by my high -‐-------. I’m also blessed to have many hobbies, interests and activities to keep me busy and fulfilled.

I’m grateful for having a roof over my head, a car, and my amazing support system. I’m grateful for my clubhouse and advocacy work, my dog, and that i (currently) have insight. Although I’ve had some health issues, i am grateful that i can live independently and be a full participant in my treatment process. I’m grateful that i can manage my own money and don’t have any debt. I really believe that there’s a lot of benefit to having “an attitude of gratitude”!

I’m grateful for government assistance. Everything i have was given me. I don’t feel psychotic anymore. I almost cancelled my trip down south to see family for the holidays and it ended up I was safe. I have had a loss of sense of self and even though I have my basic needs met and God given the talent it is still sad I couldn’t have had a normal life.

Very nice post @John_Raven

Looks like we all have some pretty great things to be grateful for. Good to focus on the good stuff. :slight_smile:

I’m grateful for my family, my friends, my art, my meds, my therapist, our home, and more.
