SFChristianGirl Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I got through the consultation appointment with my dentist today. I was a nervous wreck, but I made it through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stardreamer Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Today I played a game with friends, a type of game that I almost always avoid because it is triggery for me. I have worked up to playing this type of game for a while now, by taking baby steps, as sort of a growth exercise, because I know it's something I need to get past. Anyway I played it, and was totally triggered, and felt the anxiety rising and almost freaked out a couple of times, I wasn't sure if I was going to make it through the game or not. But I stayed through it, didn't cry, and didn't have to go outside for a panic attack, although I thought I might have to at one point. I kept it together and didn't show outward signs that I was freaking out, and managed to finish the game without quitting. So that is what I am proud of.

Epictetus Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 At the laundromat I saw a half empty bottle of a sports drink someone has discarded by the curb. Ants and other bugs were crawling in and drowning because they could not crawl out. I emptied the drink, made sure there were no more bugs inside, an threw it into a trash can. Couldn't help the bugs that already died, but at least no more bugs will die in there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventurer Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I got outside and took a walk near the ocean on a nice day even though I felt sad while doing it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFChristianGirl Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Last Thursday I spent 2 hours and 40 minutes at the dentist getting some urgent work taken care of. I'm proud of myself for getting through it even though it was extremely difficult. Haven't gotten much done the last couple of days. I've been feeling physically ill.

Abandonedalways Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Drove to within 10 minutes of my ex's house... Didnt have a complete freakout and steer the car into a tree. So yeah, I'm proud! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gondolin Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I'm taking on extra work in the new season, leading a choir. I've never lead a choir. The idea scares me a bit because you can't just wing it, I have to come up with arrangements for them to sing. It was my plan to basically do that during the holiday so I wouldn't have to worry about the extra stress when I've started working. But I have been so depressed lately that I can't even finish preparing a meal, let alone do something creative. I just pushed myself and finished an arrangement for I'll Be There For You by the Rembrandts (the Friends theme song). I'm proud I got myself to finish it even though I wanted to give up all the time! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verDominai Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I've been looking back and it just astonishes me that I've made it this far in relatively one piece. So I'm proud of still being around, I guess. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epictetus Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Not sure "proud of" is the right expression, but I am glad that I was able to roll the garbage dumpster out to the curb without running over ants or other insects. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flasquish Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I'm proud that I have over 5,000 "likes" here on DF. And I joined the forum before "likes" existed so many of my earlier post weren't eligible. You'd have 10000 by now if had this feature back then!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PessimOptimist Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Despite not getting one single minute of sleep last night, I chose to make it in to work and not burn a PTO day. I like to save those for when I feel good! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloudyskies77 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Today I went to the pet cemetery to visit my best friend. I cried. I miss my dog Remy Lee but for her I went there and worked through my pain. I didn't run away. I stayed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
