I want to appreciate myself

so I was having a bad day in the morning where I was unable to get out of anxiety, was spending the whole day in bed, unable to relax, anxiety was telling me this is how your whole day will go.

I was having confusion in my mind but then suddenly I decided to do one brave act for the day. I reminded myself that even though I am feeling overwhelmed and confused, I can take a stand for myself. So I just walked outside and went on a walk, there I meditated for quite sometime. Talked to my family, then the anxiety triggered a bit but I didn’t hold any judgements neither against my family nor my feelings. I came back home and it tried to resurface again because home is where I am the weakest, but surprisingly I got out of it! And I am so happy about that. Then I worked on my work, I was not feeling very cognitively sharp so there again I didn’t hold any judgements and let it be.

Rn, I am feeling overwhelmed and finding it hard to tell myself that I am proud of myself! And a revelation, if I keep telling myself I am confused, I’ll keep feeling confused. So lets stop that. I am so so proud of myself.

Im not sure if anyone will read it, I just wrote it for the sake of it.

If any of you feel like you are not at your best, give yourself some patience. You will be okay. I will be okay. Its a process. And its happening because you are getting rid of a lot of fear and anger.

its through adversity that we get stronger

You did good Chickienuggie by getting out of that bed. That serves no purpose

once anxiety takes hold. By moving your body, it can help lower your anxiety.

Yes it may come and go but so what. This is your life and you will not allow anxiety

to control it. I'm proud of you. xx

Well if you are having a hard time telling yourself that you are proud of yourself, I will tell you that I am proud of you.

Hey very well done you. You are on the path of healing by accepting you have anxiety but are determined to live your life anyway.

Doing things like this makes you respect yourself and is self esteem building. Its an essential part of self care and treating yourself better.

You should be very proud of yourself.
