Community QuestionšŸŒ¹ This app has helped me so much so far, but I feel like I've been using it heavily to only vent, SO I think it would be fun to do a rose, thorn, bud thing for this week. I welcome y'all to share your rose, thorn, and buds below this!! Rose(highlight, success, small win): My medications are starting to get leveled out again! Thorn(challenge or something you need support in): I've been having a hard time having meaningful connections with friends and keeping in contact. Bud(new ideas and beginnings, hopeful, things you want to see happen): I am working with a job coach and it has been going well, I'm hopeful that I will find employment within the next months

      Rose: I finally got a diagnosis for my seizures after 8 long months (Sudo-seizures if curious, anxiety and stress induced seizures) Thorn : My dog is getting sick and I don't know why, I tried watching what he eats but I'm nervous for him as he is old (6 years) Bud: I made a new friend online who's learning English and in turn, they teach me Arabic.

      Genuinely seeing all of your responses has made me feel so happy. I keep checking back to read everyone's response. Just as I said before. I hope your roses stand strong and never wilt, your thorns dull down and fall off, and your buds grow to be beautiful rosesšŸ’ššŸŒ¹

      Rose: this week I created art every day, which is a big deal since Iā€™m depressed, and am dealing with kidney disease and all the side effects from all my meds so I feel like complete sh*t physically and mentally. Thorn: I need this freaking kidney disease to go back in remission so I donā€™t feel so sick and unlike myself 24/7. Bud: I have supported the toddler I nanny for in their neurodivergence very effectively(as an autistic adult) and am seeing great progress in their language and self regulation. I love my job and canā€™t wait to keep watching them grow.

      Rose: Im getting better at controlling my substance use! Not sober...but can go a few days without smoking or drinking which is a first for 5 years. Thorn: My meds are too low and aren't working properly, and I drink on occasion which messes my head up. Both result in me being a worse version of myself than id like Bud: im starting to make good connections in my college and joining clubs and trying to do things that make an impact!

      Rose:. I get to have my two little service dogs with me in the hotel where I am. Thorn:. I had a terrible cardiologist appointment because the jerk wouldn't answer any of my questions, monitor my heart, tell me what my diagnosis is, or let me know anything about if my pacemaker is doing anything now. Bud: A friend is taking me to my appointment with my PCP and is going to come to help me as I should have the right to have a person with me.

      Rose: I've been getting a lot of art and animations done recently! Thorn: I've been reacting really badly to all the mood stabilizers I've been put on which makes it hard to be hopeful that there is a good med for me? :/ Bud: I'm really hoping I can get some better pain meds cause that would do wonders- and also I'm working really art to open an art business right now so I really hope in the next few months that can help with rent! :^)
