My mental health was 1/10 yday-was struggling to hold on. If my photos or posts about mental health have ever lifted you,could you maybe like this post? I know it seems needy but I'm trying to change the narrative in my head-find some value in myself. If I've helped someone I can hold on to that x
I saw these recently and they just told me they wanted to say "hullo!"
🤗
You are beautiful and a valuable creation. I'm glad you are here with the pic of lovely flowers. Hang in there, just for today! 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
👋 you’re valuable to the world’s existence. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and photos. You are appreciated
Beautiful picture! I hope you're doing better today.
You have.
This is quite lovely, thank you so much for sharing its really vibrant
Flowers always make me feel better too! 😊
Your flower art and tiny posies bring me such joy. Hang on in there. ❤️
Beautiful photo 🙏🏼❤️
What a beautiful photo- I love how colorful it is! Hope you’re feeling better. 💜
Gorgeous pic, love the presentation. I hope each day you find moments to realize your art makes the world a better place!
You will succeed!!
I rarely post but I had to reply to this one ! Though I’m not sure in the 100’s of replies you will get that my post will be seen . Please note this post you wrote in 2021 has helped me ! I took a screenshot at the time. I hope you feel better today ❤️💕
I’m so glad my post back then helped you a little 🌿
Thank you it did help ! I hope the seaside visit helped. I used to live near Gibraltar Point on the other side of the Wash to old Hunstanton!!!!
You’ve helped me, that’s for sure. I’m grateful to you and pulling for you Emma 💗
Stunning image! Moody yet hopeful. Kinda like me 😂
Oh, you just helped remind me that I needed to go for a walk in the woods-that’s the ticket- that’s my church, my religion. I say, beautiful lady, take your own prescription.😘 Thank you.
Glorious flowers shukran
Oh beautiful, thankyou
So so lovely 🌿
Lovely 🫶🏼🙌🏼
this photo is so relaxing for my weary eyes 🥹 thank you for sharing
Thank you for posting a rainbow of flowers. We all need a little beauty in our lives daily.
Hi Emma, nice florals !
This is beautiful! Like a Dutch Masters painting! Thank you for sharing it! Off to look through more of your work! 💜💜💜
💯 ⬆️🌹
Exactly my thoughts. Love it! 💚
This is a beautiful photo. It shines a light into my soul. In dark times I cling to such beauty. Thank you for capturing it. Hang on, not because I can guarantee it'll get better, but because you matter to the world just as you are.
The colours and arrangement of the flowers are beautiful. Love your work. Hang in there. 🦋
Love your posts 😍. Always beautiful
I'm someone who's dealing with depression. We are a community of love and compassion ❤️. We're all here for each other. We see you. We understand. This situation this horror show of our country and our government. This is creating millions of Americans with severe PTSD. This photo is love ❤️ 🙏💙✊🏻✊🏿
This is the first time our feeds have crossed paths, but this picture brings me a pleasant feeling of joy.
Emma I love your photos. You just popped up on my feed one day and I loved the image and checked out your page and started following you. You have inspired me to take photos this summer of my wildflower meadow I planted last spring. 🌸 I find getting out in nature very healing and helpful. 🩵
The flowers in this photo are beautiful! So are you. 😍
YOU MATTER!
I'm with you and understand. Please, "Keep on Truckin!" 😁
It's one day at a time, but the head committee can get loud and noisy! Ask yourself who's driving the bus and turn it over. You are in palm of the hand, or it's got you by the seat of the pants.
Great rainbow arrangement! Clever!
Looks like a New Order album cover. And who doesn’t love New Order?
THAT is beautiful!
Lovely flowers! I can never put flowers together without them looking like a mess. It takes talent to make them look wonderful!
Looking at photos of lovely flowers, or any other beautiful part of nature, is always a joy🙂🌸
Positive vibes being sent your way
Hoping you have a great day.....🌞
A rainbow of nature.
It all helps. Thank you!
That’s BEAUTIFUL, it looks like a Dutch still life painting!
😍🥰😍🥰😍
You help me find the light!
Flowers are always uplifting to me, put me in a better mood. Tho they don't speak, their presence is worth a 1000 words. My Mom used to say I don't care about flowers at my funeral, I can't enjoy them, so I used every opportunity to present her with flowers while she was alive.
I love this rainbow. 🌈 I’m glad you’re here and I’m glad you’re reaching out 🩵💙💜
You are inherently valuable, not the least of which for continuing to breathe and be. Keep breathing, keep being you. Thanks for the lovely image!
Hold on Emma as YOU are important, necessary, and you do matter in this world of Humanity. ❤️ / 🦘
Everything is temporary, especially emotions. Hang in there sweetie.
Colours and flowers make you feel good.
Hand in there Emma 💕
For you, dear, always, ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi Emma, I'm a mental health professional. Your posts are beautiful. Keep them up. It's a really tough world right now and for so many of us difficult to manage on a daily basis. Just know that you are important. Someone(s) need you and your kind spirit. Breathe & remember that.

You have value!! I lost a sister to suicide (she had FTD) June 3rd. The pain is gut wrenching. If you need someone to listen or just need to vent, I am here💚
Your work is beautiful. You have immense value! You can change the narrative in your head from today. I am NEVER wrong (joking - sort of. But I do think I'm usually right - because I weigh up and consider before I make a decision, which I can stand by. If you do that too, trust in yourself) xx
It’s been a rough couple of months.
Inside out wide tape as a bracelet then a nature walk filling it with flower, leaves, berries or whatever is beautiful to you. Take care❤️
Ooh love this!
What a great idea! My granddaughter and I will be doing this 😁
My oldest granddaughter saw the idea & showed me. Spent last week with most of my 8 grandchildren & we did this many times❤️
This is so beautiful ane I'm absolutely going to do this with my brand new granddaughter. Thank you for this.
I’m going to do it with my 6 yr autistic granddaughter!
What a lovely idea!
OMG what a tremendous idea.
What a wonderful idea!TY💕
I absolutely love this floral design♥️🌷🌸🌻
This is so cool. Totally doing this. Thanks!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you! This is lovely.
Sooo simple & fun! I always squish things in my hands or pockets.
I love this ❤️
In love with this. Going out to show it to the neighborhood kids who help me with my garden. 🌹
Thank you that is the best idea, if they love your garden they should love this❤️
Your wonderful photos always help, Emma. And there’s a weird consolation in knowing that others struggle at times. We’re all valuable and need to show we value each other. 🤗
Lovely photo 😊
Beautiful flowers 🥰
We all need a hug every now and then. Your pictures do that. May your day get better and better
Wonderful message. A brave reminder to those in dark places they need not be alone. Hope the clear admiration/affection for you in responses has soaked to your core and fortified you :)
💙🫂💙
What a beautiful photo, and I love the rainbow color transition! Thank you for posting!
So beautiful!
Beautiful! I would love to paint that!
Post is lovely and so are you 💗 ❤️ 😘
Beautiful
You are important. Sometimes you just have to stop and do something you enjoy while reminding yourself life is living one day at a time.
You are valued.
Lovely flowers...always brighten my mood. Thank you.
Good days and some bad. We can lift each other!
Much love and strength to you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos. The colors are stunning! 💜
This arrangement is gorgeous. The food I need to get back in the garden this morning.
That’s not needy Emma that’s recognizing you need to reach out ! That’s brave , and emotionally intelligent . There are good days , bad days and meh days . Hang in there . It gets better as you get older . You are not alone .
Lovely image!
Keep striving to move forward to a happier place. Try and find a hobby, spend a couple of hours at Barnes & Noble, they have small hobby kits to start small & hundreds of different topics of books,magazines. Hang in there. Your worth it! 😉
The fact that you are aware of what is happening and are willing to share it shows bravery a lot of folks don’t have.
Idk Bob, those aren’t humor books! 😂 I scrolled in and noticed I’ve read a lot of those, “humor” book. I highly recommend.
Hahaha. I meant the dude where’s my shirt part 😂
The sign is hilarious for sure. I burst out laughing. Romance books often have shirtless men on the cover. I recall standing in line with these books, hoping people around me didn’t think I was pervert buying sex books. Seriously, I’m only buying it for the story… not the cover! 😂 I sound guilty!
Love it!
I love this!!!!!
Sweet!
Awesome display!! 😂
Stunning photo
I love this picture - such a subtle rainbow.
Hi Emma, I truly feel we are all mentally ill to some degree. But the struggle is real and should never be minimized. I have a mentally ill son in prison because our society does not address mental health. It breaks my heart daily. But acknowledging is key and should always be allowed.
Beautiful picture
Dear Emma, your message resonated with me. Keep posting, keep living and enjoy the beauty of life. I’ll be 84 in August and I refuse to die while breathing! Let’s keep living, and dance!
Dance dance dance
I can't tell you how much joy your photos bring me. Or how much I hope that if I were to find myself struggling as you are my instinct would be to reach out and help others.
Thankyou x
That’s a lovely composition. I often sit outside in my pollinator-attracting garden when I need solace from the world. Now that I know about the Merlin app, I also enjoy knowing the birds whose sounds are almost always heard when I’m outside. It’s calming and peaceful being ensconced in nature. 💐
You just gained a new follower Emma, looking forward to your posts & photos🥰
Before I even read your post, I noticed the lovely colors of the flowers in the photo. Or perhaps it’s a painting I cannot tell. I love the multicolor look of it. I know how you feel. Right back at you. Here’s to trying to feel worthwhile. 🍷
Mental health is retarde
Never seen posts of yours before but that doesn't change the fact that this photo is a nice, pretty picture. Which does help to calm my chaotic mind a bit. So you did help me being in a better mood today, thank you 😄
Nature is our saving grace.
You have value well beyond your posts and the online community that you have certainly helped. You are connected to the natural world and therefore the ancestral world (in my beliefs). You give to others and seek to bring beauty, creativity and wellness into the world. You are admired. 💕🌸🪷
I am glad you are here! Have this pic of a cute taco truck I saw at a conference.
Beautiful photo, Emma. Sending hope for better times ahead for you.
Amazing photo! Yours?
It does not seem needy to me. It seems brave and self preserving and I admire it. Wish you a better day today.
I love the composition and the fabulous colours- great job!
Lovely.
Your doing grand lass just hold on in their
Hang in there girl! You belong on this planet and you light it up just like every one of those flowers
Beautiful still-life!
That's a stunning photo. Take care of your beautiful talented self x
Beautiful subject matter AND composition!
Hi Emma. Somehow, you just appeared on my feed, & after looking through some of your photos, I followed you. I especially love the rain videos & the flowers. Going to check out more. Please follow me back.
Fabulous sill life painting. Basil lovely. Thank you for sharing. 😍
You have value and your flower photo is beautiful.
It is interesting how the pink among the reds and oranges on the left balances it just enough to make the whole color schema work. Well done, I really like it.
Not everyone likes horses but thought I would share. This is Lil Joe, a mustang at 1 year old. He is now 7. He is an empath and if you were with him he would be with you, giving you comfort and letting you know that you matter.
I adore horses. Mine was the best friend I've ever had. We were soulmates. Joe is lovely.
Thank you. Joe is best friend material for sure. He had been injured severely in the BLM corrals and came with cranial nerve damage, facial paralysis and partial blindness in his left eye. He made a miraculous recovery.
OMG! I hate the way the BLM treats mustangs. I'm so glad you rescued him. He is very special.
He is indeed. Long story but gave up on a bid for an appaloosa colt and knew there was one that needed saving. Joe came up in my newsfeed. His face was contorted when he got here, difficulty eating but equine acupressure healed him up. He loves people. I love him.
Hang in there. I do like the post. Thanks for posting art. It always makes the day brighter!
This photo is so pretty…thanks for sharing it! I hope today is a better one for you. Take care…
Lovely, Emma! Hope the day brings you some peace.🌸
I like the way you arranged the flowers to follow a color wheel. I also appreciate the mix of colors & textures in the vases.
Hang in. I've fought depression all my life, and recently, it's been bad. Hope you feel better today.
Emma, it is just as beautiful as you are. You have a lot of fans here and we are pulling for you
Sick with COVID and that always puts anxiety in my head. Here is a corgi for you... she helps me.
She’s very lovely 🤎
@greenrainbowfarm.bsky.social
Once when I was parking I saw this little flower growing out of the gap in the concrete and had to take this pic. I often look at it when I am having a hard time, it helps me feel better. I try not to overthink of why it does, it just does. I hope it helps you feel better too.
Beautiful shot 👍🏼✌🏼💙
Your posts are so inspiring and informative - and you’ve made my day so much better a zillion times over! Thank you for being you! 💕
Beautiful 💜
What a beautiful picture. Thank you for sharing
The fact that you’re trying to confront your demons and are being so open about your struggles may encourage others to come out and seek help for their own difficulties. Almost 1:4 Americans adults (59 million) face some sort of mental health issue - and way too many suffer in silence.
🎯
One in four that admit it. Younger people think about the future we are leaving them are anxious & angry. Boomer leaders failed us and younger generations. They stole our pensions and gave us 401k's to take its place. They weakened unions and created 1,500 billionaires and 23 million millionaires!!!
Here is lovely sung greeting to YOU from #BTO #BachmanTurnerOverdrive "HEY YOU !" www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHyr...
Your posts are lovely, and I am sure they give many people a much needed lift… thank you, and hope you are feeling better today!
Lovely picture. Thank you!
Emma, so many are right there w/you. I love all the Timeline breaks. Flowers, bunnies, kitties, dogs, sunrises/sunsets & universe pics from JWebb, et all. I follow people who get that we need both the facts for our Resistance & the beauty we seek to protect in this fight. You're good. Own it.
The image you shared is beautiful. What you are suffering is shared, if that helps at all.
So rich with color. Beautiful. Have a wonderful day and thank you for sharing. 🩵
That picture is beautiful. Stare at it and it will take you to that garden and you can imagine spending time carefully picking and cutting. Gardens are soul-filling.
That’s a beautiful arrangement!
Keep your chin up and head on straight. You are a valuable person and stronger than you give yourself credit for. 💪❤️
This still life is gorgeous!!
I'm liking this post, not only because you asked, but because I honestly like it. Thank you for posting it. ❤️
Everyone fights their fight in their way. Taking joy in any thing is resistance when the world feels so dark Be as well as you can, and take solace in the knowledge that you have brought others joy, happiness, or inspiration. All of which can be quite empowering We are neither powerless or alone
This is a beautiful image.
That’s beautiful
It's the negative thoughts that are so hard to squash down isn't it? Whenever I get one I try to think of something positive or good that I have achieved to reset my frame of mind. It doesn't always work but it helps most of the time.
This picture is beautiful, and you are beautiful, and you deserve peace and happiness!
….so not I want to paint this #stillLife 🤩
You're not alone here.
Lovely arrangements!
This, too, shall pass. It's an old phrase, but a good one. I find myself returning to it all the time. It's the promise that you'll still be here tomorrow, and you'll look on the day with brighter, or different, at least, eyes, that will see things differently. That no feeling is final. It helps me.
It helps me too :)
It's also supposed to be a warning against hubris and such, but I just like it as a hopeful message.
I also meant to say that you are definitely worthy and important. Your brain is lying to you. 💖
Hey Emma: here're some blooms that unfurled in the past 2 days from the stick with leaves cutting of brugmansia (Angel's Trumpet) that my youngest sister gave me a year ago. I thought that it was never going to flourish, let alone flower... but now look at it! Healing isn't one directional. ❤️🩹
Here’s some positive news re: climate change. www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...
It's beautiful therapeutic art, well executed ...congrats! Actually, I am working on a project that also uses art as a therapeutic activity.
That’s really pretty. You arrange flowers well, like art
You are brave and beautiful 💗
You're doing great work hang in there
🙏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful, thank you for being here to share your work. Never give up.
You hang in there Emma, better days are ahead.
This is a beautiful picture. Don’t give up!❤️💕
Beautiful post! Flowers are beautiful! How wonderful to see this in a sea of ugly stuff. Your share is a gift to the world. 💝
You can post anything you need or want to live. Wishing you some peace.
Don't ever feel bad about wanting to hear good news stories that you inspired. We NEED good news stories for our mental health. ❤️
Beautiful.
Love them. 😎❤️
It’s been very hard lately for me and, I think, a lot of other people. You’re not alone in feeling this way. It’s a normal response to traumatic times. ❤️
Thanks for the beautiful flowers
Honesty about mental health struggles helps every contextualize their own. Thanks for posting. Today will be better (hopefully).
What beautiful colours, your posts always make my day better, thank you ❤️
Beautiful still life, especially if it is lifting you and others.
Here for you!!
Flowers bring so much joy!
Hang in! You’re doing a world of good for so many of us. Take heart from your own wisdom. Depression and anxiety are liars. If it’s bad today it will be better tomorrow, or the next day, or the next. It will — we both know it will.
Beautiful flowers! I am struggling myself. Going to look into a therapist. Please take care of yourself 💙💙💙.
Saw this little guy trying to survive in the lawn a couple of years ago, put him in a pot, & look at the joy he gave back.
Wow
Ooooh I love a renegade Petunia!! My kids saw this happened to one of their petunias, then intentionally learned how to harvest the seeds and filled all of our sidewalk cracks with them in the fall and the whole walk bloomed the next year!! Probably still are…
I now want to write a YA novel called Renegade Petunia about a teenage rebel.
Great idea
50 years of diagnosed PTSD and other things. We’re making it. It’s a shame that they don’t listen to people who are surviving terminal mental health issues. No cure and 50 years later not one thing has gotten better. It got some light when celebs were using it to get attention. You are lovely!
Followed you. 💜
Huggs. You’re not alone. I feel broken inside more days than I feel ok. You’re brave to reach out. I’m so happy that so many people stopped to say hello. Remember..YOU are sunshine ☀️ that makes the world a better place. Thank you for your post. 🌻❤️
I love your photos of arranged flowers. I find them very interesting and uplifting. Hang in there ❤️
Hi Emma. The flowers are beautiful and very uplifting. We should as a society reject stigma against mental health conditions. Some people have them and are suffering because they are unaware that they have a mental health condition. Sending positive vibes💙🌻😊
I love this quote. It is so true. I miss Robin Williams.
I do too 🥲
Me too.
Well said, Paula. Thank you for the RW quote.
You are welcome!
What lovely flowers, an instant mood-booster I'd say! Thank you for sharing. I wish you all the very best and, most importantly, many brighter days ahead.
There are so many of us out here who are feeling the same. I’ve had clinical depression since I was 15, been briefly hospitalized three times for it. Lately it’s hard to get out of bed, and some days I don’t. Just hang in there. It will get better, eventually.
Beautiful! It would make a great painting.
