What are you proud of?

[Swilly97]

Be proud, I say. I know it's tough but, you're worthy.

I'm proud of going to my doctors appointment. What are you proud of?

[IncognitoC]

I’m proud of making it through the day and trying to help others on the way.

[Swilly97 in reply to IncognitoC]

Well that's lovely 😊

[Nothing_but_books in reply to IncognitoC]

How many people here feel better after checking out the "Daily Puppy"?

My hand's up. I can't be the only one.

[LifeIsThePitts in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Me me me 🙋🙋🙋👋👐jazz hands 😉🐶

[Swilly97 in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Heck yes!🙌🙌🙌🙌

[Hominid711 in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Thanks for the tip! I can also recommend funny cat videos.

[NoOneButMe in reply to Nothing_but_books]

[Swilly97 in reply to IncognitoC]

I'm proud of you too. Helping others is noble and you've helped me on many occasions, thank you 😊

[mizzou7016 in reply to IncognitoC]

I just hope that I will be half as good as you at helping others....I appreciate you and your pups.....helps my mood

[IncognitoC in reply to mizzou7016]

That is wonderful of you to say, thank you

[LifeIsThePitts]

I am proud of taking control of my life and being my own person... regardless of what anyone else thinks of me 💗 I love who I'm becoming. I'm letting Old Me die. Don't get me wrong, I'm celebrating her existence because she's gotten this hot mess of a human being to this point in my life and I'm still alive! But I have a better version, Pitts 2.0, in development. I'm slowly rolling out the New improved upgrades, baby step style 😉

[IncognitoC in reply to LifeIsThePitts]

Absolutely amazing!! I’m proud of you too

[LifeIsThePitts in reply to IncognitoC]

Thanks, my London friend! I look forward to seeing your puppies every morning 😍 I appreciate you and everything you bring to our forum. You're a great guy and I'm blessed to know ya!

[Hominid711 in reply to IncognitoC]

You're a Londoner? Me too. Do you know of any in-person depression groups meeting weekly? I had a look online but can't find any. Thinking of starting one myself.

[IncognitoC in reply to Hominid711]

I don’t know of any.

[Nothing_but_books in reply to LifeIsThePitts]

What wonderful words! Congratulations.

I'm glad for you, but jealous. What's it gonna take for me to get to Version 1.1? Gotta say, the programmer left quit a few bugs in 1.0.

[LifeIsThePitts in reply to Nothing_but_books]

BwaHahahaha!!!🤣 can't unload the whole upgraded bundle all at once...it would cause a meltdown 🤭😆I got lotsa bugs in my programming, too, miss books 📚they need an exterminator... maybe the orkin Man still does house calls 🤔

[Swilly97 in reply to LifeIsThePitts]

Lol! I'm trying to roll out a different me as well. Gosh is it difficult but, I hear, nothing worth having comes easy. Congrats friends 👏

[LifeIsThePitts in reply to Swilly97]

I'm bleeding effort it's so challenging and harder to heal myself than I expected. BUT it's worth every OUNCE of blood sweat and 😭 💦

[Swilly97 in reply to LifeIsThePitts]

Every ounce, you're 100% right about that! That's something I need to remind myself of these days. 💛💛💛💛

[Nothing_but_books in reply to LifeIsThePitts]

Oh, so that's what caused this meltdown. I'll know next time.

Thought you called me "Miss Brooks" 😁 (Remember Our Miss Brooks, or am I dating myself?)

[Swilly97 in reply to LifeIsThePitts]

Yayyyy I love it!! It made me giggle too. Thank you for sharing friend 👏💛💛💛💛💛💛 You're special and determined. It's great! You're getting a fresh new you. It's amazing.

[LifeIsThePitts in reply to Swilly97]

Orkin Man 😆🤭

[sabres4love]

I am proud of the progress I have made (although it isn't as much as I would like) and being able to keep working at least some when are some days I would rather just call off.

[IncognitoC in reply to sabres4love]

This makes me proud of you too

[Swilly97 in reply to sabres4love]

Damn right, you should be proud of that! 👏🥳 That's not easy. Thank you for sharing that!

[Nothing_but_books]

I'm worthy. Wow, I could say that a few times and still have trouble.

Here goes: I'm proud of how I responded to comments on the poetry post I put up yesterday. Thought about it and, yup, it was a bit much.

I found a new poem to share today. One I love, minus yesterday's nihilism. I think so anyway.

[Swilly97 in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Oh gosh I missed it. What you think matters. I'm proud of you for doing that too! 👏 💛💛💛💛💛💛 I love your posts 📫 ❤️ Thank you for sharing friend ❤️ BTW, you are worthy.

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Swilly97]

It's very nice to hear. You think one of these days I might get around to believing it?

[Phoenixinme in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Fake it until you make it. Say you are proud of yourself until you believe it!

[Swilly97 in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Yes, I hope so. I understand though. We're tough on ourselves.

[Swilly97]

Damn good answer! I'm proud of you too, it isn't easy but you've done it! 👏🥳💛💛💛💛💛💛 Thank you for sharing this!

[mauv]

Proud I went to lunch and then played cards with my friends!

[LifeIsThePitts in reply to mauv]

YAY 😁 it's nice to have a girl's day

[Swilly97 in reply to mauv]

Sweetness! That sounds fun!

[Baconandchesse]

I'm proud of using my coping skills.

[Swilly97 in reply to Baconandchesse]

As you should be, that's great! They're so helpful. 👏

[Mrspjsmom]

I'm proud of going to therapy with my homework done and a short list I wanted to discuss. It was a good session.You're right we are all worthy. And I don't give myself much credit. Never think about what I'm proud of. My mind goes straight toward the negative.

[sabres4love in reply to Mrspjsmom]

I also find I don't give myself enough credit for progress made. Is so much easier to focus on everything that is still wrong instead of what is right.

[Swilly97 in reply to sabres4love]

I agree.

[Swilly97 in reply to Mrspjsmom]

We're just wired that way it seems. I think society is responsible but I'm not sure.

But! Congrats! And you should be proud!!! 🌟🙌

[Teaching]

I am proud of going to work everyday despite the difficulties I encounter. It's not an easy journey but I'm doing it

[Swilly97 in reply to Teaching]

You should be proud! No its not easy but worth it, right? Yay you!

[Phoenixinme]

👍😁👍

[Kittykat55]

I am proud of myself for sticking closer to my medication regimen and starting to get better at communicating my own needs and drawing healthy boundaries 😊

[Swilly97 in reply to Kittykat55]

Damn thats good stuff! You should be proud!!! 👏I need to do that.

[Kittykat55 in reply to Swilly97]

Thank you for the encouragement 😊

[kbrauer]

Good morning,

What a great positive, uplifting piece of encouragement question to ask! I love to see all of the excitement, and joy, and happiness of all the responses here, this is wonderful to see and hear!

You all have a wonderfully Blessed day, today!

[Swilly97 in reply to kbrauer]

Awwww yay! I agree! We're surrounded by so many amazing people here. And, thank you!

[thara9643]

Everything.

[Swilly97 in reply to thara9643]

Damn right! 🙌👏

[gajh]

I am proud of going for a walk outside by myself today.

[Swilly97 in reply to gajh]

Yesssss!!!! I'm proud of you! 🙌👏

[gajh in reply to Swilly97]

Thank you that means a lot to me! It is amazing to be able to share here and get support for something that other people would just take for granted. They wouldn't even understand the significance.

[Swilly97 in reply to gajh]

This place is great. And, I agree about the taking it for granted and significance. They have no idea.

Keep up the progress! It's amazing that you did that today! 👏

[CL3V3R-G1RL]

I went to my mom's house today even though I didn't feel up to it. But I did it and I'm okay 😊

I'm also proud that I was able to drop off my mom's stuff at the hospital one time. (I have a fear of hospitals)

Hopefully I can be proud again for tomorrow cause I have a haircut appointment. I haven't been in awhile so a little nervous.

[sabres4love in reply to CL3V3R-G1RL]

Good luck with your haircut! You will do fine!

[Swilly97 in reply to CL3V3R-G1RL]

Omg yay! That's progress, you should be proud!!! 👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌💛💛💛💛💛 And, you can do it!!!
