What are your victories of 2019?

[SansaStarky]

I left a financially and emotionally abusive marriage this year. I'm skint but my god I've freed myself from years of further unhappiness

Anyone?

I accepted I needed some medical help for my depression I am a lot nicer of a person as a result. I still have dark dark days but 95% less.

Finally becoming debt free after around 4years of paying just under £18k off and passing my driving test this morning.

Stopped faffing and worrying. Got a new job with triple the hours. Self supporting now and hopefully setting an example to my dd.
Well done to you OP for getting out. x x

Getting through treatment for breast cancer.

well done all of you

Giving birth! And meeting my wondeful son.

After 5 years TTC and a round of IVF last year my DD was born in March.
Well done to all the victorious

Getting a job that I knew would be a challenge BUT that could reap fab benefits. So far I'm on the right track.

Had a book published :)

Had my baby daughter. Years of many miscarriages and a veritable shit load of drugs and we got a take home baby

Massively impressed by the book!

Leaving an awful job (or I will have very soon anyway). I am terrified of unemployment and finding the job hunt difficult but I needed out.

Also finally admitting I have depression and getting some CBT for it. I nearly ruined my relationship because of it.

Excellent work @blamethecat I'm so desperate to pay off my debt, I'd be so much happier!

Had a really successful return to work, albeit briefly as went back already pregnant with DC2 (due now!). Was worried that it would be too hard, tiring, unexciting, but the team were great and I did well. Really pleased with how it worked out!

Taken on significant new responsibilities at work.
Backed up and sorted out all my zillions of photos properly.
Steered DS (SENs) through his 6th form/college decision making process.

Getting through hyperemsis that I genuinely thought would destroy me or make me lose my baby.
Then giving birth to my son, not the labour I wanted but met my beautiful baby nevertheless.

Very proud of myself and not ashamed.

I graduated with a first from the Open University and got my first job in 16 years and I love it On the up for once!!

Finished my MSc at age 39 whilst working full time with two small children. BUT even better than that- I have stopped drinking alcohol!! Day 86!!!!!!!!!

After two and a half very long years, I finally managed to divorce him.

2019 we finally extracted ourselves
2020 we will make it - all on our own.

Well done to everyone on your achievements, I love threads like this, they are uplifting.

I've been suffering from postnatal depression and anxiety (and suppressed all my other feelings in the process). But I've been to my gp and am taking anti depressants and also going to a psychotherapist. I've come a long way in the last 2 months and I'm now in bed with my lovely baby asleep on my shoulder and my heart feels full.
