I've been having a hard time lately but my partners have been really supportive (I'm poly).

My partner said he is really proud of me but he hates that I put myself down so much because I self-sabotage and the only one who doesn't think I am doing well is me. He says that I have come a long way since he met me 5 years ago.

My bf said that I don't appreciate my achievements because I am looking at the next one. He says that I have grown immensely as a person since he met me 3 years ago.

I just keep forgetting how much trouble I used to have and take for granted what I am able to do now.

Examples are: I used to not be able to go in kitchens, I have been washing dishes recently.
Apparently I used to get super uncomfortable when my bf was standing in the bathroom doorway talking to while I was washing my hands. I'm so ok with him standing next to me now that I forgot I used to have that problem.
I didn't think I could ever have a full-time job and I have held one for almost a year.
I can now hug certain people, and I'm fine squeezing in on couches or just sitting on anyone's lap, as opposed to not being able to have anyone close enough to touch me.

I know I am not alone in giving myself crap for how I am. I need to remember that I have come a long way. And that I can go further. But I also need to remember to stop and appreciate my strength.
