I'm proud of myself for doing what I needed to take care of myself, and for dealing with a stressful situation without falling apart.

I'm proud because I was REALLY urgy after I missed the ball in center field and all I wanted to do was cut. I could have punched the dugout or hurt myself some other way, but I didnt. I prayed for strength and got some!

I got through a big urge, one of the worst ones I've ever had. I think it means I've become stronger, even though I don't feel it.

:star: I'm proud of myself today because i asked for help, i opened myself up to someone and let them see the real me and i didnt get hurt.
:star: I'm proud that i've made it over two weeks SI free, and I'm proud that i opened up to my friends and got everyone to talk about their problems with each other in a calm way so that we could learn from it.
:star: I'm also proud that i was myself around them and didnt let any of their comments affect me, i am just me and they have to live with it.

I'm proud because even though I felt like I couldn't speak and I just wanted to run away I told my boyfriend I had had a slip instead of lieing about it.

I put my personal negative feeling towards a collegue to one side and was civil towards her in a professional manner. :evil:

I'm proud of myself today for overcoming an ocd urge on the bus today which would have made me go back home to wash and miss morning classes had I given in to it... and that I did so knowing that it was tap class first thing which I really didn't want to go to.. but did because I knew I had to overide the obsession in my head and prove to myself I was strong enough to be in a situation where I know i'm not good enough,but go there to try and be better

I just want to say that all these things are amazing. I hope I have the courage that all you have had.
I'm proud of myself that I joined this board today. I've been crying all day and this board just made me feel like I don't have to be alone.

I stood up for myself. This is good, even though it ended the way I didn't want it to.
