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?

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 😉

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.

I don’t know of any.

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.

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 🤔

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?)

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 profile image
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 profile image
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!!! 🌟🙌

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! 👏

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.
