I'm starting to feel like I am more confident. I am able to do a few small things I wouldn't normally do. (Ex. Saying hi to a teacher in a hallway.) I am hoping to take these steps until I can become super confident with myself.

I am now able to look someone in the eyes. I know it's silly but it was hard for me to do to the point where I would even cry. but now I can look them in the eyes thank you!

I learned that not everything is as dramatic and hopeless as I see it

I learned a new way of anchoring myself through the mindfullness breathing technique

I have learned that recovery is by no means a flat path. There will be ups and downs along the way. All that matters is that you continue to choose recovery each day.

I should stop my pessimism bc there are better and happier things to focus on in life. I'm not close to there yet, but I'll work on it.

I'm trying to figure this out.....the website and my life

i like to come chat online every day and get it all out :)

am making great progress in my life since i discovered the site

thank you

I've made it to #10, and i've learned that, thought the world may seem bleak, there's always wonderful nice zany unique people somewhere in the world, and all you need to do is to connect to them. The easiest way to do that is this site. And, I learned that group chat is where you find the most interesting people, and in Community Chat there's free pie and randomness, which is always guranteed to lift one's mood.

Level 10, I learned that I matter for the people around me. If I want to get out of the deep trench, I need to work for it. Nobody's expecting me to make a giant leap to make my way out. Baby steps and time is all I need.
