What have you done today to make you feel proud??

[P R F]

This is an amazing post that more people need to see. It's similar to making a list of things we are grateful for or nourished by (something I have been trying to do daily)..

Today I walked to work (40 minutes in the snow)
I had an inspiring phone call with a listener (radio)
Did an interview with a comedian with a smile on my face

I managed to take my car through a car wash today! This is the first time since I was very young and I went through one with my dad. I have avoided them since I developed anxiety but this morning I felt different and I did it!! Not particularly enjoyable but I will definitely do it again.

MrAndy is a brilliant help

I took the kids and dog out for a walk. Not huge I know but a lot for me.

I was assertive!
Someone I like had asked me to do a favour but then I ended up leaving work late & knew I had a busy evening to get ready for a work trip tomorrow.
So I said to them that I could do the favour.
I didn't let myself feel guilty or that I was letting them down.
As it is... They didn't mind at all.

I cleaned out my closet.That was big thing for me as I do not wear black or my scarf anymore.Also I spoke up for myself,when told once again speak English,I think I do a good job but apparently not,I told them in aussie fashion and gave them the finger.Gee I feel good.

1. Helped a friend.
2. Didn't panic when I had workmen in the house.
3. Remembered to go to the surgery to get a repeat prescription for Prozac.

This is a great thread

1. Am working on the "ump-teenth" load of "sick kid" laundry. This includes the upholstery from pretty much every piece of furniture and decorative pillow in our living room, multiple sets of sheets, and every towel in the house. Not to mention numerous sets of pjs, etc. (And this isn't due to me being germ-phobic. This is due to the monstrosity of having two sick little monkeys at the same time.)

2.) I have not (yet) backed out of any of my social commitments through the weekend. I want to very, very badly as I am in a bad blip (or BLAM as I call a blip this severe), and I can feel the "safety net" of staying in my living room starting to creep over me….., but I KNOW that is a dangerous thing to start doing, so I am fighting to carry on as usual.

3.) I didn't beg my husband to not go out on the road for work today. He had to leave early this morning and won't be home until late tonight. Ironically, he also has to travel the highway on which my baby brother had his head on, highway collision three years ago TODAY. But, I swallowed that big lump in my throat, and stayed home with the sick babies by myself and didn't let myself go down the irrational thinking pattern concerning his traveling. (It hasn't been pretty around here today, but we're all still alive, and I have refrained from selling either child to gypsies.)

Just looking over this…..oh, please, God,…could I be starting to come out of this terrible relapse just a bit?

Thanks for the thread!
