10. this board raises my self esteem
9. i like posting my ten lists. sometimes they are short, sweet and to the point. sometimes they go on and on and on forever. whichever the case may be, my lists make me feel better about myself.
8. my lists make me feel good to ahve a place to talk aobut the good things i have going for me, without feeling like i'm too conceited.
7. this board is good for others too. i see a whole lot of others on this board that don't post on a whole lot of other boards.
6. even when i don't feel like posting my regular stories, humor, and fantastic pictures (yeah, i'm pretty great), i knwo i can alway scome here and post my ten lists without putting forth too much effort.
5. i love it when others can't always finish their lists and i'm able to do it for them. that makes me feel good knowing that i'm helping others feel good too. without this board, i fear the 'ten lists' will be seldom posted.
4. this board helps raise self esteem, soemthign that is very important when dealing with mental illness. we deal with so much crap already, we really need help boosting our self esteem.
3. taking away this board would lower my self esteem (booooooo, double boooooo, HISSSSS!!!!!)!
2. where else would i be able to keep up with my insufficient math skills? i do need practice, you know?
1. this board is awesome and gets traffic all the time. no need to fix what isn't broken!!!

This board actually LOWERS my self esteem because of the slow traffic it gets. I have all but abandoned making 10 lists and now scribble on the backs of envelopes that wind up in the bottom of my purse. But then I forget to even read the lists myself so they do me no good either.
bravely, but with quivering chin,
ClearSkies

((((dabbing))))I just bought another book on aromatherapy and the mind - and mixed up a personal blend to scent some unscented body lotion that I buy. Not exactly like making your own perfume, since I chose the oils based on their beneficial effects AND their smell, but very soothing and, again, satisfying.
