[/quote]That's wonderful, well done!!

I'm proud because I went to a party and saw my ex-boyfriend for the first time since we split up, with his new girlfriend, and I didn't get overly upset or make a fool of myself in front of him.[/quote]


Good job! I know how hard that can be! whew! :roll: I'm proud of myself today because I didn't cut, though I picked just about every scab left on my arm and leg....maybe I'm not that proud, but I didn't cut.... that's the main thing. baby steps I guess. :)

I am proud of myself becasue yesterday i told my T about my SI. Even though I didn't tell her everything, i told her bits and pieces. Even though I was dissapointed in not being able to say it all, it is a step forward.

Every step forward is significant, no matter how large or small the step. We often judge ourselves based on the "leaps and bounds" we make, but recovery is all about the little steps... it takes TONS of those to get anywhere, and then pretty soon you're running. Good job

I'm proud of myself today, because..... well the day hasn't really started and I've already done things I'm not proud of... but I'm proud of the fact that I'm willing to face today head on and not let all the triggers surrounding me right now affect me. I'm proud of that, because I know I won't let it get to me... I vowed today that I would use my support system.

Post by JadaKiss » Mon Mar 26, 2007 12:59 am

I'm proud of myself today, because I filled myself with positive things... I found some truly beautiful songs that speak to my soul and really help me concentrate on what's important and take me out of that "dark place" I go when I SI*. I'm proud that filling myself was a priority and that my soul feels such peace right now.... I wish I could share it. :1hugs:

I got a good grade on my essay that i thought was shit
scars are tattoos with better stories
it's hard to answer the question whats wrong, when nothing is 'right'
Not all scars show. Not all wounds heal. Sometimes you cant always see the pain someone feels

I'm proud of myself because I went to the gym after work. I know exercise is not only good for me physically, but has a profound effect on my mood and stress level. But it's so hard to get myself going sometimes (okay, usually. Just about always). Today, though, I went to the gym even though I was tired and didn't necessarily "feel like it".

I didnt let my fears get in the way of having fun. I let go of my worries about watching the movie, and just watched it with them. and there was no discussion and the SU stuff wasnt awkward!
