Alexlove(L): Proud of myself because...(long list) PS: Maybe TW.

July 14th, 2015

So, I am proud of myself because:

- I bought a dog and it makes me happy.
- I still try no matter that I'm in my fifth depressive episode in life and I'm still a teen, I'm still searching for right medication.
- I was patient and I didn't k*ll myself until my psychiatrist had time to talk to me(he was busy).
- I painted, and painted, and painted and created and I'm planning to sell my paintings.
- I did some things I've always wanted to do.
- I told my parents that I smoke and they didn't get mad because I'm expert in telling people shocking stuff(lol)
- I succeeded(at least I think like that) like a listener here and I'm proud that people tell me I'm good
- I got a bit off my chest all that guilt I feel. Maybe I still feel it, but it's easier than it was.
- I'm trying to read a book and find some hobbie.
- I created a forum and I'm not giving up on it, and I'm not even planning to give up on it ever. I try to promote it everywhere I can, it's about art, but it's in my language(Croatian).
- I waited. I waited, waited, waited.
- I met new people.
- I told everyone on every social network that I'm mentally ill and that I will be mentally ill forever. It's a brave thing. And for that, I am really, really proud.
- I've survived suicidal crisis.
- I tried to get help when my psychiatrist was busy, with psychologist and with online suicide hotline in my country.
- I tried with CBT([C]ognitive [B]ehavioral [T]herapy).
- I downloaded some CBT and DBT([D]ialetical[B]ehavioral [T]herapy) documents and workbooks and I'm planning to try to work with it.
- I.... just... survived. And that's the most important thing.


PS: This will be my place where will I write why am I of myself like this, in lists :)

End of the August; I'm proud of myself because:

- I've been through a hospital and got new diagnosis without harming myself in any dangerous way.
- I've been thinking about trying to live a healthy life.
- I finally got the right therapy for sleeping.
- I ate something even when I didn't feel like eating it.
- I've accomplished couple things that I wanted to(personal).
- I tried. Tried, tried, tried.

And most of all: I'M PROUD OF MYSELF BECAUSE I'M STILL TRYING.

Things will get better as long as you just keeping getting up in the morning, and I hope you keep doing great.

Also you should read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, it's a pretty up beat and fun series, I read it whenever I feel like escaping a tiny bit.

I didn't write here for a while. Maybe it's necessary because of my awful mental state.

Let's see what I'm proud of in last couple months:

- I learned my dog not to bite me (lol, she's now 1 y/o)
- I'm almost recovered of my eating disorder
- I became some kind of a photographer, and some people from art school were telling me that I'm not an artist at all, but I'm still not giving up on photography lol, who are they to tell me am I an artist or no ?
- I found the therapist who's the best for me
- I'm couple months binge-free
- I'm more opened up in therapy and I accept the crazy stuff going on in my head better than ever
- I decided what I want from recovery
- I'm better at English, thanks to my English school.
- I was an excellent student this year (Yes, I just turned 18 and I'm still at school, that's why I'm an adult listener)
- I'm better at _______ people (not appropriate for writing it here, I'd be judged).
- I somehow know how to get my mood up
- I'm sick and proud of it !!!!! No f**king stigma, nothing! I'm freeeeeeeee
- I kicked out of my life people who were toxic

That's all for now.
