To me it's mostly small things. I'm less impulsive. I can see different sides to things and not only see good or bad. I can regulate my emotions better.

I'm still a long way from where I want to be, but I notice that things I discuss in therapy stick with me and I can apply concepts I learned to new situations that we have not talked about. Which will in the end lead me to my goal, although right now it's still a struggle, and I probably miss a lot of things.

The moment I first noticed was when someone said something, which I'd normally interpret as them abandoning me, and I realized that a) I was probably overthinking this and that was not the intention of the comment at all and b) that even if abandonment would happen, I am confident that I could deal with it in a healthy way.

To me it's worth continuing because I see those changes, even if sometimes I have to wait a while until something new happens.
