Since it’s Eid today, and on the theme of Islam, today I decided to sketch an Izmik plate. I really love the floral pattern on this one. I do love islamic designs in particular the floral ones such as this and the geometric patterns.
I didnt know that gambling has the highest suicide rate. You sound like you have been through and still going through a lot! You are one brave lady! Stay positive. And this may sound like a real cliche but I believe that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. And you being here sharing your story is probably what god intended you to do. To help others who may be going through similar experiences as yourself and have no where and no one to turn to. x
Wow….I sure can identify with HIM! It is at times like *PULLING TEETH” to have others have insight and understanding about Gambling Addiction. It has SO MUCH *Stigma* around this illness…..I know now that one of my mental illness disorders was a direct effect from my gambling addiction, as it really twists our brain chemicals around Cognitive Behaviors, so I suffer from Panic with Agoraphobia, but also have had Bipolar 2 disorder as well, which my gambling brought out the Bipolar symptoms, as I suffered and went undiagnosed for most my life.
Many don’t KNOW that addicted gambling has the Highest Suicide Rate than any other Addiction, and it’s the Fastest growing addictions to date. I really appreciate your kind words and thoughts! AND YES, Praise God we ARE BOTH HERE to share our Story with others who still suffer……*Catherine* π π
