I had to share this

I had to share some progress and positivity because, I feel so hopeless at times.

Today, I opened the curtains and the window. I can't begin to tell you how hard it was. I just don't do it anymore.

But today, I did. πŸ† And, the cat benefitted which is a huge plus! (That's now her favorite blankie)

😻

That's my progress report for today. With hope, I will do it again tomorrow.

Remain hopeful guys!

Congratulations for opening your curtains and window. That is such a huge deal. I never, ever open my curtains. Good luck doing it again tomorrow. Keep us posted.

Hi Swilly97, I agree with gajh in that opening your curtains and windows is a hugh deal.

Who better to understand then those of us who have windows sealed shut from never

being opened. I open my mini blinds in the day but only after having them covered

with blankets during the evening and morning in my tv room. The light interferes

with seeing the tv screen. In all reality, I think this is a part of the leftover Agoraphobia,

You did good Swilly High Five :) xx

Good for you Silly. Darkness is so debilitating. It becomes hopeless. A little light even in increments will help you going forward. I know how hard it is. You're heading in the right direction. Look at your kitty, she really enjoys it too. So you're both heading in the right direction. Keep up the good work πŸ‘πŸ˜ΊπŸ™‚

It was, yes 😊

Your post is such a comfort to me! You did wonderfully! Fresh air and sunshine. I'm glad you can manage that gift to yourself -- and your baby! What a beauty! I can tell she loves the blankie.

I hope with you that tomorrow will have even more of the same.
