The "one good thing you did today" thread.

[Emz]

The main thing I've noticed about anxiety and panic is that it makes us focus so much on the bad things that we start to overlook the good.

This is a thread to post your daily successes and focus on the positive things we have done in spite of our anxiety.

I'll go first. Today I have started on a little project. I never commit to anything anymore because I've just been so down that I couldn't see the point. I've not done cross stitch since I was at school but today I've started on a huge piece of material and I am determined that I will finish it. Its going to be an abstract piece that will represent my struggles with depression and anxiety and hopefully my recovery.

Success number two: I answered the door! I went to hide as usual but I got brave and answered it and it wasn’t that scary at all.

I really hope that this thread takes off and together we can all celebrate our success!

I like this thread I've just decided to be more positive myself. Ok it's only 1.30pm but I suppose I went for a drive as a passenger in my mum's car today which I don't like doing because I always need to be the driver

You've both done really well Its always good to push yourself out of your comfort zone a little bit, kind of proves that we're not out of the game completely

You've all done so well - i was in work today and had a bad time for a few hours but managed to stick it out and then met my friend for tea even though the chest pains were hideous - just tried to carry on as normal although nearly caved in but now feel so much better so really chuffed with myself that I felt so bad and just got myself through - hurrah for me and for all of you x x x xx x
