This was such a good idea. I have actually started an I'm proud of myself today journal. Even if I was only able to do one thing that is progress and we should be exalting the good things instead of the bad.


I am proud of myself for not "sweating the small stuff."
Driving myself to the doctors office.

Hello Everyone: what a great idea!

I am proud of myself for finally going into the hospital to ask for help. I waited for 4 hours by myself..dealt with a crappy doctor, got blood work done, got my $100 prescription filled (ahh!) and started the new med last night! I suppose I am proud of myself for making an effort to get better.

Jamika,
what part of Cleveland are you in, I am in Euclid?

Over the past few months I have been able to work with the volunteer ambulance squad and not have panic attacks while on calls thinking the medics are going to have to work on me!

I think this is a great improvement!

Amazingly enough, no one knew a thing, no one saw it at all. Amazing.

I am proud of myself for going out to a store everyday.I have waited in short line-ups and felt anxious,but I didnt run,I stayed.This is a great idea for posting.
