In the heart of Limited Edition Land, where every creature had a unique story, there lived a spirited ocelot named JP. JP was known for her vibrant stripes and playful nature, but she had days when everything felt dim and overwhelming.

You see, JP had Bipolar Disorder, which meant her moods could swing from high to low. On her low days, she felt sad and tired, and on her high days, she felt overly excited and restless.

One sunny morning, JP woke up feeling down. She sat by the edge of the river, watching the water flow, feeling lost in her thoughts. Just then, her friend Sam the Koala noticed her and came over.

“Hey JP, what’s wrong?” asked Sam, sensing JP’s sadness.

“I don’t know, Sam. I just feel sad today,” replied JP, her eyes drooping.

Sam sat beside her and gently said, “It’s okay to feel sad sometimes. But remember, these feelings will pass. Let’s try something together to help you feel better.”

Sam taught JP ten affirmations to practice when she wasn’t feeling well. They were:

1. “I am loved, even on my hardest days.”
2. “I am strong, and I can get through this.”
3. “My feelings are valid, and it’s okay to feel them.”
4. “I am not alone; I have friends who care about me.”
5. “This feeling is temporary, and brighter days are ahead.”
6. “I can find joy in the little things around me.”
7. “I am resilient, and I can bounce back from tough times.”
8. “I am in control of my thoughts, and I can choose to think positively.”
9. “I deserve kindness and understanding, especially from myself.”
10. “I am enough, just as I am.”
    
    

JP repeated these affirmations, feeling a little lighter with each one. She realized that even on her darkest days, there was a glimmer of hope and light within her.

From that day on, whenever JP felt overwhelmed by her emotions, she would sit by the river and repeat her affirmations. Slowly but surely, she learned to navigate her moods and embrace the bright days ahead.

And so, JP the ocelot found strength in her affirmations, knowing that no matter how she felt, she was never alone in her journey through Limited Edition Land.
