      Night Terrors SUCK! I hope you've gotten rid of them! A friend of mine was told to visualize pretty bubbles floating away and popping as they got near the ceiling. It took some time, but it worked! She got shot during a house invasion. The first week she slept through the night without waking, we all went out for pizza and celebrated! After about 6 mos., for her to go a whole week without 1 episode of Night Terrors was definitely pizza worthy! There's still a lot of people that have PTSD from the emotional overload from The Epidemic. We should all be kind and supportive of those that are still suffering. Everybody has their own threshold and recovery rate. If you're over it, be the strong, supportive shoulder they can lean on.

      @@sherrylhenning5630 Oh my gosh! That sounds terrifying!! I’m glad your friend is okay now. My night terrors lasted for years. Every time I thought they were gone they would come back if I thought of them. Thankfully I have not had any after talking about them in this video. A lot happened emotionally in my life both good and bad in a short amount of time and it was a lot to process, but I’m doing much better now. 🥰

    Hi! This was a good video to unwind me after a very stressful day - thank you!!!
    I think that the sea monster is rescuing the ship from stormy seas and is taking it safely on its way out of danger.
    The lion cub's expression was like a cat or a dog, happily being gently scratched where they can't reach, or a having a blissful cuddle at the end of a long day. All the 'bubbles' represent the endorphins being released by the cuddle / scratch.
    The little girl is recovering from her bad day - her best friend had been nasty and she was very upset when she got home, so her mother showed her how to make some bubbles with washing up liquid & water, then they went into the garden together to blow bubbles in the sunshine and calm her breathing.
    (This family recycles things so there is a box of the ring things used when they bought ready-made bubbles at the shop when they went out.)
    Well, these are my stories, so thank you again, this time for doig the art work which set my imagination into motion to make the stories.
    I enjoy doing blobs, or using the shapes on the paper where I've checked mixed colours on to play 'What can I see...". I like your scribbles, and think I'll try that, too. Thank you for the idea!
    And finally, thank you for your openness and honesty about your own stress issues. It is appreciated - it's good for us, because it helps us to feel less lonely in our dark places. 🤗 😊

    I think that I have so many ideas/projects in my head, that that's what's making me anxious.
    Because I want to stop what I'm working on to go to the next art project.
    I even write them down and sketch them so I don't forget them and can come back to them later, but I have so many projects planned out that I won't have enough lifetime to do them all.
    Hopefully your ideas will work.
