I know I am a step closer to getting better because...

I *wanted* to get up and get a shower today, I washed my hair and clothes!

i'll add on if you don't mind.
I know I'm getting better b/c I took myself to the hospital a couple weeks ago instead of OD'ing. And I'm controlling my urges to drink.

congratulations everyone. :pinkheart:

...because i realize what i'm doing instead of si'ing, and understanding how that's not getting me any closer to where i want to be.

:roll: not much. whatever.
i thought i was a fool for no one, but baby i'm a fool for you.

I know I am getting better because I haven't SIed in 5 days and I am not freaking out because my T is out of town.

(That's good for me.)

I know I am getting better because I am getting up every day and getting on with my life.

I know I am getting better because si doesn't seem inevitable when I feel crap.

I know I am getting better because I don't think of si in real terms anymore (most of the time at lest).

I know I am getting better because...SI is still what springs to mind first when I am upset, but I am able to reject it as an option more and more quickly all the time.

Hey, that's awesome!
Hm...I know I'm getting better because last night I laughed so hard I almost cried at a really stupid joke on tv.

I'm glad everyone is recognizing the little things that are improving. Depression will NEVER heal overnight but the road may become more visible if we acknowlage our little improvments (because in the end tehy add up)
