Thank you for starting this thread, it's a fantastic idea
I can't think of anything to be proud of today particularly, but lately I've been really proud of myself for supporting not one, but two friends of mine with disability.
I'll be more conscious about what I am proud of from now on. I think it will help me to be more positive
Went to library and got a book on mindfulness. Will help to rewire my brain so I can change my negative brain patterns. And change my life, the last 20 years have been hell, on and off for so long.
Today was a bit of a struggle. I after work (which was quiet so sent home shortly after starting, this always stress me out) I got home and a friend wanted to go to the gym. I got dressed and walked out the door without my keys. I was stressed out. I messaged her and my housemate. I thought I was going to cry or have an anxiety attack. Instead I started doing what I was told to do. Do some deep breathing and practice mindfulness. Yes I was still upset but this stopped me snowballing to a darker place. I am proud of that. I still need to think of a place to hide a spare key near my apartment.
Today I asked my work to let me have 12 months off without pay so I can focus on getting well, I really struggle with saying what I need so this was big achievement for me.
