Hello and welcome @DownMoreThanUp 

Thank you so much for sharing your story here. I'm so glad that you've felt this was a safe space to do this.

It's wonderful to hear what a positive effect that you've felt extending love, care and compassion towards yourself. I know that's not always an easy thing to do and takes real work, but as you've said, it can be a very healing thing.

Thank you for also sharing these drawings that resonated with you. Do you draw yourself?
