Hiya fellow boardies :) 

As the title suggestions,  this is a place simply for recognising achievements, every step counts no matter how little,  if you got out of bed or showered you're still winning! 

So drop by whenever you feel like mentioning it,  let's feel good about ourselves!  💗

Today I've honestly managed quite well with anxiety,  and I'm happily tucked into bed despite not doing one of my rituals :)

Much love 💕

    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    For the first time since my heart op, I managed 2 hours practicing on my saxophone! It felt like the old days, and I felt really good afterwards though tired.

    And then after a nice cuppa tea, Peggy and I made a batch of flapjacks made with demerara sugar, golden syrup and unsalted butter. Eating one now. :p

    I got a healthy amount of sleep, which is very rare for a Tuesday! Small wins. :)
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.

    I told my student support officer everything about the bullying (even if Childline had to break confidentiality so my sso would care)

    So glad for you all and lots of love 💕 super well done and remember that all achievements are great no matter how little. 

    I'm particularly proud that I'm just getting by and that's good enough 💕 
    I've come back from a bad time and I'm just feeling so happy,  got the 22nd to look forward to and just feeling like a ray of positivity :) thanks to my partner for the most part and the ability to just accept that "now isn't my time,  I'm not feeling it,  and that's okay" 

    Keep positive lovelies xo

    Trying my best to get more sociable and someone was sending me “not heard from you for ages, are you okay” and i just replied back with honesty saying i am distant but so lonely. And she said she has her own house now ( she has a kid aswell) and that i could go anytime if i wanna escape and thought that was nice. And totally proud of myself for even replying to someone

    Finaly completly finished painting my room. (It was a lightish blue colour before). Like I left it a few days because like the corners annoy me and didn’t look that much to do. But fml it was still a lot to do and many layers. 

    But I love it. It feels so freash and clean. And the week coming I’m getting new curtains and decorating it more to look less plain 😊
