    @catkins



    And to Blue for creating such a positive thread...

    @Poppy - one cannot underestimate the healing power of a damn good deep clean. I try to channel my inner 'Mrs Hinch' every few months..

    Today's win: went to an unfamiliar city with a friend, bought her lunch without freaking out about money, went into a non plus-size clothes shop and bought a top. Was out 8 hours and not a flicker of panic.

    Way to go!

    Struggling a bit myself to find wins, but....I only had the TV on for a couple of hours while I slept last night (instead of all night) and slept the most continuously I have in awhile. Didn't panic, even when I heard my neighbor across the street yelling (I assume at his cat).

    Learned my boss didn't get a promotion he was up for and instead we have another boss coming in to take that space. I don't love the idea, my boss would have been great and change is hard, but wondering if maybe that's a good sign that it's time to more seriously look at alternatives.

    I used to sleep with the TV on for a lot of years, Poppy. Well done on being able to switch it off!

    You both should feel very pleased with yourselves. It must feel great to have achieved something significant when confronted with triggering situations.

    I signed my new updated will this week. It took months to complete and I was very worried that I had not covered every eventuality to protect my 2. It's made me feel better about what happens after I die and i need to face up to this.

    That's good Pulisa! That must feel relieving to have off your plate.

    I need to do a will; I don't really think of myself as having much in the way of assets and I don't have any children so everything would go to either my parents or my brother. But it would probably help care for my dog and cat (somewhat) so I guess that's something.
