I have been feeling exceedingly dark and hopeless lately, like it would never get better and it felt like the best thing to do would have been to give up. I've been at my worst the last couple of weeks.

Yesterday, in a brief moment of clarity, I decided to go to the doctor. I'm going next week. I decided to give my life one last (more) fight. As soon as I hung up, my anxiety dropped tremendously. Proud of myself, that I would choose to fight.

I'm also proud of you all.

I'm proud that I was able to take my plus sized clothes (1X - 3X) to the trade clothes store, got credit and was able to go pick out clothes from the XL racks! It was a very nice visit and the store manager was so happy for me that she threw in 2 tops for free. I really needed the clothes and the boost in confidence! 💜

Today I was thinking about my college experience and how I can't believe that I got through statistics, let alone experimental psychology. It was easily one of the most difficult things I've ever done. The human brain is capable of so much. Blows my mind.

That's great. I've struggled with weight my whole life. I've gotten rid of some & the pounds keep coming back. They like me so much, lol. I understand the effort & determination it takes. Keep at it.

I’m proud of my hobby that I love. My hobby is 3D printing and I spend a lot of time on it.I also want to create my own YouTube channel about 3D printing. But for the last six months I've been putting it off because there were a lot of problems besides. But maybe this summer I will do it. I still want to buy a new 3D printer, a more professional one, and a good camera to shoot video. It certainly takes a lot of money, but I hope mr bet 10 euro will help me with that. So maybe someday I will become a famous blogger)

I'm proud of my self control.

I don't get a lot of credit for the intelligent things I say, or the selfless things I do. And the temptation is to blow up and start hollering and letting people know how rotten it feels to be taken for granted. But I don't do that. I try and remember to stay calm & collected, and try to see things through their eyes---they're distracted, anxious about other things, or they are simply not on the same page as me right now. They don't MEAN to be neglectful---they're just somewhere else, in their heads.

My self control extends to the food cravings department, as well. With my multiple ailments, I need to watch what I eat very closely, and not give in to impulsive behaviours. I am proud of what I've been able to re-train myself to eat, and to stick with it.

And lastly, I have good self-control when it comes to my goal-setting and work habits. I really try and finish the lists of manageable goals I set for myself now, every day.
I keep distractions to a minimum, and stick to the plan AsMuchAsPossible, as often as humanly possible. This is my biggest accomplishment thus far in my living with Major Depression and GAD (along with everything else), I feel.

Perhaps no one else will ever grasp what we battle everyday. But I certainly do. And that's enough for me right now.

I'm proud of the fact that in spite of everything that's going on in my head, I managed to have a decent (if truncated) career in the field that I chose for myself. And I'm very, very proud of my son.

Surviving.

In 1983 I was the only woman to graduate with honors when I got my engineering degree. Actually, I was also the only woman in the school, period.

I didn't break the glass ceiling, I C4'd it.

I have a very challenging job and I am good at it. I worked in some rough circumstances where people quit in the middle of the day. Not me.
