    Well done for still brushing your hair and making yourself some food even though you weren’t feeling great, it can be so hard to push through and take care of yourself when things are hard, you should be really proud of yourself for doing this!
    I really love this thread as it can be hard to focus on the positives when struggling with mental health and recognise when we are making progress and doing something positive and this thread clearly shows all the positives things your doing:) keep going eylah, you got this<3

    @eylah , that's wonderful to hear! Food can be such great fuel. I really want to celebrate you right now - how you calmed yourself down after that panic attack a few days ago, and ate 3 meals even though you don't normally!

    Every time you do something that you didn't think was possible before, you're creating memories that you can 'bank' for yourself to use in the future, to remind yourself that you CAN do these things <3

    Even if eating feels hard again the next day, or a panic attack gets overwhelming again (because recovery doesn't have to be linear to be valid) - each of these steps that you're taking can serve as reminders that it's possible to feel better too :3 How gorgeous!

    @eylah , ah that's so wonderful!! I'm so glad to hear this. I find it really comforting with breathwork myself because I know that no matter what situation I'm in, I'll always have my breath! <3

    you've got this @eylah - and even if all you do today is get ready then thats an achievement in itself that you should be proud of. sometimes we need days to just relax and take things easy. i hope whatever you get up to today you have a nice time doing so and that it makes you feel better like you said :3
  • eylaheylah Posts: 5,208 Part of The Furniture
    need to try eat something as that would be a huge achievement today.
