@GlenM I learned that it's important to be clear on what you can and can't control in order to lessen feelings of overwhelm.
I tend to take too much responsibility for my "failures" and not enough credit for my "successes" and so I spend a lot of time worrying in a general sense of fear/anxiety about the future--feeling like I don't have a future because I don't have it planned out perfectly. Knowing what matters to me and creating beneficical habits (like checking in here daily!) can help me take a clear-eyed look at my real options for things I *do* have control over
I am not alone, people will be here to support me
Step 99!
It feels so good to know I am making progress!
I have found a better solution and because I have this site to help me take the small steps to healing, I have found more courage to face the bigger things in my life. I am beyond grateful for this experience and I am so glad I have this resource!
I have learned that there are more options available to those in need.
7Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. -Matthew 7:7
Step 99 is a sight to behold. I've learned that there are no real numbered steps, and each activity should be practiced daily. Some days I am as good as if I were on step 100000 and some days I am more like step 2. It doesn't matter the number, it just matters that you keep working the steps.

Awesome takeway for our own growth!
I feel like I take one step forward and two steps back
The important thing is life can be hard and the road can be riddled with pot holes. I am a great person, good at my job, and big things are on the way for me. Be in the moment and don't worry about the rest as you will conquer this phase!!
Step 110...hurray. I'm learning!!
Step 187
Focus on the things you can control, not on the things you can't.
Have a great day everyone.
I am learning to accept my negative emotions.
