Hello, lovelies! I hope everyone is having a really good day today as we wind down the week.
I would love to hear from all of you about what’s going well in your life, what you’re proud of, what you’ve accomplished! It can be big, like acing a test or getting a new job, or something small like “I ate some vegetables with my dinner yesterday” or “I finally put away my laundry.”
Brag on yourself, ask for hugs, whatever you need today. You are strong, you are beautiful, you are loved ❤

I have not bought a coffee in the mornings or lunch at work since the new year started and I have already saved more than I thought I would. I have been consistent with making dinners enough for leftovers for lunch at work or just as simple as making a quick sandwich. 🙂
Trying to learn how to drive again
Didn’t crash again yet
Thank you, Mum! I’ve been doing good in college (I got really good grades for the most part), and I’m working my way out of a complicated situation.
I spent the last two weeks trying to repatriate my father who now possibly has dementia after he went missing in mexico and the last thing I heard from him was a voice mail "I’m at the hotel, every things fine, call me back.
Everything was not fine.
But I got him home.
Still a big mystery, dont know what happened, and neither does my dad.
I built some community!! I had a long talk with my distant roomates and we all agreed to garden, cook together, and look out for each other! It’s a big thing but it starts small and that’s what i did today! On to the same thing tomorrow! I plan to meet my neighbors by giving them bread. 🙂
I made my bed last night even tho I was exhausted
Working on my mental health, been reading more and listening to more audiobooks on downtime. Trying to be on my phone less
I made a big girl phone call by myself, and now I have a lawyer!
I paid off my credit card yesterday!!! Done! $0 balance baby. I’ve been working on it for about 3 years.
Ive been sticking to bringing lunches to work instead of buying them and I made some good sales. Also I’ve remembered to take my allergy meds everyday for the past 2 weeks
Not calling in to work. We have a new boss and it’s been difficult. But here we are

working through a breakup (i ended it) nasty virus, and some personal issues i went to class today and finished my lab early
I’m proud of myself for staying on top of my journaling habit for almost a month now— I try to daily even if it’s difficult to confront my emotions in general
doing my best to exist! its been rough because of a lot of different circumstances, but I’m still doing my best to stick around
hugs would be much appreciated tho c:
My teen daughter is having her first day back at school today after attempting to unalive herself while at school a month ago. It’s just me, her and her younger brother, no family, no support, my family did something so unforgivable which was the cause of my daughters attempt, and the reason were entirely on our own now. Every tiny bit of me is screaming not to let my daughter out of my sight, it isn’t safe, but I know that’s not true. I’m battling my OCD (obsessions around a fear of harm coming to my children, checking compulsions), and I’m winning. It feels like hell and death and I absolutely will throw up several times but I will not call her school to check on her, I will allow her to rediscover her life on her terms because that’s what she needs. But bloody hell it’s difficult and I really wish I had a mum to support me through it. But I’m gonna get through it anyway and I’m going to be proud once I do, both of her and me.
It’s been a big week. I got a new tattoo and I’ve been doing well taking care of it. I’ve done a lot of dishes, laundry, and cleaning. I managed to get a dentist appointment. But most of all, I’ve managed to pull myself out of anxiety and be in touch with my feelings in healthy ways. Now this weekend I have a hangout with my friends on both Saturday and Sunday.
Can you say that you love me please , i am feeling so scared lately .
Conflict resolution. My neighbor and I had a big misunderstanding last week. We both have the same case worker, who was kind and helpful. We each said our piece and resolved the misunderstanding. We’re back to being neighborly again.
I’ve finally started reading my driver’s manual. One step closer to becoming an independent adult.
Facing my fears about going back to school to become a doctor
I’ve been feeling very anxious at work today, because I made mistakes previously and that’s highly triggering. But I called my friend who sent me a cute kitten ‘hanging in there’, and I held together well.
I am almost done with my second year internship in my masters of social work program! I will graduate this June! 💜 working with kids 3 and up, parents, families, and teens/young adults with complex trauma and disordered eating.
I’ve been working on cooperative care with my reactive dog for vet appointments, he’s made so much progress. Over the weekend, I taught him something new (lay on his side to be examined), and he picked it up immediately. I’ve been working so hard, and it feels great
I went to the gym yesterday and did my planned workout start to finish! The last time I went to the gym I was really anxious and just kind of sat on a mat for 4 hours too scared to start up again after life events stopped me from going for 3-4 months. It was always a reliable way for me to do something good for myself that was fun and expressed gratitude for my ability to move my body, but I was worried that regressing in my weights would kind of feel like nullifying all my progress.
I think working a muscle group I knew would be strong and very capable of basic movements was a kind way to reintroduce myself into the habit.
I haven’t been to work (I’m a freelancer) in a long time and it’s worried me a bit how I’m spending my money & day to day time, but I’ve also wanted a neck, back and scalp massage for the longest time so I’m trying not to feel guilty about finally getting that!
I did my own laundry today. I watched a bunch of YouTube tutorials and a lady at the laundromat helped me
