discoveries, struggles and experiences

This is a collection of images called an "aesthetic". I've seen similar things on Instagram, but they may be other places too. I saw this person's account who has an Instagram page where they create these for others who request a certain aesthetic that may or may not have been thought of before. I asked if they could do a "storm" aesthetic. #Repost @aestheticvillage (with @report.for.insta) ...

Fact: You can't actually see this point.👀 It's an invisible spot in the vast Southern Ocean furthest from land, in any direction. . #sun#space#rocket#nasa#mars#astronaut#science#physics#science#planets#earth https://www.instagram.com/p/B2TyWp4gW_d/?igshid=1wmzyvce6bwt6

(original caption): #Repost @healingtogether_ (with @report.for.insta) ... I saw this on facebook today and thought I would share for anybody to see who is struggling with their body image today. ❤️ (and caption from me, lauren): So the main point of this is about body image, and it was well-done. I love cats, though. My favorites are the three on the left side with the markings that are similar to Siamese cats, but have blue eyes. They are a breed called 'colorpoint'. I have three of them (with even different coat patterns than these) who keep me company and help me feel better everyday. . . . . . . #mentalhealthawareness #depression #anxiety #bpd #eupd #ocd #bdd #panicattack #anorexia #bulimia #recovery #relapse #ptsd #cpstd #qotd #selfcare #mentalhealthquotes #followforfollow #followforfollowback https://www.instagram.com/p/B2GGeZcgQW5/?igshid=llmheu0omblr

If I had time, and knew how to preserve the original font, I would reword many of these types of messages to be somewhat more supportive, even though I know they are meant to be supportive. I like to view them as more of just information to gather, and possibly incorporate into my perspective in my own time and in my own way. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ChL5hgJSb/?igshid=72ujo1xtlkcf

Since it's difficult to convey the context when stating something like this, I want to say that, to me, this is humurous considering that people can sometimes only tolerate so much of people intentionally saying insulting things, especially about people with mental illness. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1i3Mx-gtmH/?igshid=fq63rrbk7j79

#Repost @heartsatthehelm (@get_repost) ・・・ I had to have a difficult conversation recently. I knew ahead of time that it was going to be a hard one, and it ended up being even harder than I had anticipated. I was upset afterwards, but I got to feel content with how I managed my own emotions and reactions. We can’t avoid the difficult stuff, we can only do our best to cope effectively and stick to our values. What strategies do you use to maintain your self-respect when you have to have a difficult conversation? . . . . . . #psychologyfact #wellnesswins #emotionalfreedom #emotionalregulation #emotionalbalance #dbtskills #therapistsofinstagram #healthyminds #ridethewaves #selfcaretip #healersofinstagram #hearthealing #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealthjourney #meditateonthis #healingtools #mindfulmeditation #setboundaries #psychologyquotes #therapists #therapistlife #selfcareisnotselfish #mindfulness #therapy #psychology #selfrespect https://www.instagram.com/p/B1bpjQXJ3it/?igshid=1qqcjr1srk5ul

I really like the Courier-Journal photos and captions. I wasn't sure if one was allowed to repost the whole post (like in FB), but I contacted them and they gave permission. This new photography group looks really interesting as well, as there aren't really a great number of posts on their page. #Repost @courierjournal (@get_repost) ・・・ The Courier Journal just launched a #photography group led by its award-winning visuals staff.

The Courier-Journal IG page @courierjournal has a lot of really good photography and captions. Now they also have a new page just for more photography! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz0-NWVlWBbAqnFDynYL8HCrf1MuWUbG97l6yQ0/?igshid=13ihz7sgthi5r
