Today was a really emotional day; I'm proud of myself for facing one of my greatest fears and discussing my mental health struggles with a group of people. I was terrified and cried through much of it but so happy I did it, and so grateful for their kindness and compassion.

And for me closest friend, I don't know what I'd do without her.

Proud of myself for getting out of bed and taking Buddy outside...when inside my head is hell

Proud of myself for giving the area where my fridge was an incredibly thorough clean

Proud of myself for going outside with Buddy and having 2 meals today (so far - it's 2pm)

Proud of myself for getting Buddy outside 3 times and eating 3 meals today, on the anniversary of my mum's death.

Cleaning and/or tidying small sections of my house, even though I had a headache

I've been forgetting daily positives...whoops...um...my dirty dishes won't smell today since it's warm because I washed them

For actually reaching out to people when I had a breakdown about not having the confidence to do up my resume (recently quit my job). I was having another episode today, and rather than just let it consume me I've managed to find a few people to vent to, and relate with what I'm going through.

I'd also like to add that I haven't been buying bottles of wine whenever I'm down lately, which is definitely needed! It's no good for my stomach issues. I try to buy other "kind of naughty" things instead, like this amazing choc acai bowl down the road... yeah I know it sounds too healthy but it's loaded with chocolate (chopped up snickers slice), honey, cacao crunch and other goodies that make it super sweet and tasty. More satisfaction and less stomach complaints 🙂
