What's your most recent achievement?
I went to for a day/night in the city with a friend when all I wanted to do was isolate, sleep all day, feel bad and sink into my depression and pity party.
@blissedNblessed - That must have been a challenge to get yourself to do, but good for you for pushing yourself not to isolate!
@Anomalia
hugs. thank you
Getting spinal injections so I can hopefully return to work. Losing my apartment because I am in financial crisis thanks to my worthless
POS short term disability insurance company that is refusing to approve my claim. So much for Thanksgiving and my Birthday.
FU Cigna 🖕🤬🖕!!! ESAD!!!!
@bgdave - I'm glad that you're getting those injections and I hope they do allow you to get back to work. I'm so sorry that your disability and insurance policies are being so unhelpful and I hope that things are able to be sorted. Sending hope and strength your way
Going to the funeral of my client , staying there, being extroverted, reaching out and offering support to her family, sharing heart warming stories I have with her, watching her family grieve while remaning okay, grieving for my own mother's death, staying healthy with all this death stuff and not running away from the funeral - even though that feels safer.
@blissedNblessed - I'm glad you got through it - it's okay to need space to grieve your own losses, and I think that you being there was likely a big comfort to your client. <3
I didn't hurt myself today.. I really wanted to but I didn't do it. I even ate two meals today.
@optimisticlady6 - I'm really proud of you for avoiding those urges and taking care of you! <3
Trying to stay sane despite the fact that everything is falling apart around me.
@TheBFnonG - Sometimes that's all we can do, but I'm proud of you for continuing on even when it feels like things are falling apart
Things are not going good. There is a lot of pressure on me right all. Literally every aspect of my life is falling apart. Right now, all i am trying to do is keep my mind free and strong so that i dont self harm too much or try to take my life.
@Certainlynotlolita - I'm glad that you're still fighting to stay safe and not harm and I'm sending hope your way that things get a little easier
I realized, with the help of my therapist/reiki healer - where my self hate stemmed from and what keeps it going.
Today, energetically and emotionally, I let go of the self - hatred.
this , i think, is one of my Greatest Achievments yet :D
@blissedNblessed - That's an ENORMOUS victory and I am so thrilled to hear it! 
@Anomalia
hugs hugs hugs
thank you so much
i Still am not self hating....though I DO have to work on changing behaviors and patterns to shift it to this new identity.
also, huge one: boundaries!
i realized that a big source of my disociation/dysphoria is casued by my hair and can hopefully get it cut tommorrow.
I know in the scheme of things it's really not a big deal, but I had my longest run the other day. Not my longest, but my longest in a very long time. I've run marathons, but over the past few years I've let myself go. I've been trying to get back into a routine recently. So that 4 mile run the other day made me feel pretty good.
@Sailor57 - That is absolutely an achievement worth celebrating! I'm impressed by you getting back into running and love that you're starting to hit new milestones. Well done!
I got my family and neighbor turkey in spite having gout
@Rebekahwriter13 - Well done! I'm sure they very much appreciated it! <3
so, its been a LONG road of healing and recovery for me.
And I FINALLY REALIZED HOW FAR I HAVE COME!
My most recent achievement was sitting in a meeting as part of a treatment team for my client.
Not that I was in the meetng nor that I was part of the treatment team or even that I have a client.
It was that I had this moment of realization:
at one point in my life - a long one - over many years - i WAS THAT CLIENT. Not the treatment team.
Now, after years of constant working so hard on my health and healing and actions and reactions.....I have come to a place where I help others do this .
I do not have a treatment team: I am the treatment team for those in need.
THAT WAS SUCH AN INTENSE, AMAZING, EXPIRIENCE.
@blissedNblessed - That's incredible and I love that you recognize how far you've come! I can definitely relate to that feeling of being able to move towards giving the support we once received. I have found so much meaning in being able to use my experiences in recovery to help support others <3
