sometimes success is simply surviving an especially horrific episode...
- getting through each and every minute while the voices tell you to end it all, convicting you of your guilt and worthlessness
- getting up in the morning, getting out of the safety of your bed to face the world or even the bathroom!
Sometimes success is managing to appear to function like a "normal" person...
- leaving the house, getting to an appointment on time, or making it to work or school...
Other times success is something huge like finishing uni, creating something from nothing, achieving a promotion or excelling in a difficult career, being a friend, mother, father, sister, brother, son or daughter...
Whether big or small, take whatever successes you can and celebrate, it takes strength to survive BP, don't sell yourself short.
