to be secretly a little bit proud of myself?

[MrsMc82]

Todays the first day in yonks that I've been a fully functioning normal person!!!
Had a flare up of depression that started 4 weeks ago and have been of work since (long story short version is had pnd since Sept 2010, came of antiDs (under the GP) and it didn't 'work' so back on them now but taken while to 'kick in')
Todays the first time in 4 weeks that I've managed on my own to get up and dressed at normal time (for 8am ish) get 2.9DS to swimming class, cook decent dinner and tea for DS (as opposed to frozen crap stuff), get dinner prepped for me and DH, do the hoovering, (just one load of) washing and had NO NAP (tiredness has been killing me this time round)..... I'm really proud of myself, this time last week I went to a friends for coffee and cried buckets when DS has a wee accident, anything not going to plan was sending me into a flat spin, whereas today I've managed to deal with a leaking washing machine and DS accidentally smashing a pyrex jug in the kitchen without a tear!
I feel like a normal person! Horrah!!

Well done!

am proud of you too!

Well done. You should be proud of yourself.

Hip hip hooray!! That is all absolutely excellent. High five

Well done, that's brilliant! Your post has really cheered me up. You sound like you are doing brilliantly. Onwards and upwards

brilliant!

YANBU at all. Well done!

That's fantastic- good for you. Don't be discouraged if you feel a bit wiped tomorrow, but hopefully you'll have more and more days like that now. Good luck!

That's really made me smile!
Well done you!

Yeahhhhhhh. You take it easy tonight and as already said don't worry if tomorrow isn't so productive, you will have more and more brighter days.

Bollocks to both "secretly" and "a little bit" tbh - you've done great!

Remember this feeling, remember that you can feel like this. The black dog will try and come back but you know you're stronger, this is your proof

Well done

Brilliant, well done you BUT you should be obviously really really proud not secretly

Marvellous. Leaky washing machine would've made me near tears before broken glass so be well and proud. You're getting there.

Well done Mrs.My Ad's are just kicking in and these past 2 days I 've not had any anxiety at all.Feels like quite an achievement so I know how you feel.onwards and upwards!

No secret pride needed.
Here's to more good days for you and cappucinogirl

Be proud of your pride, well done.

Just remember to take it easy this weekend and don't feel bad for relaxing a bit if you feel tired from today's burst of energy.

Great news, onwards and upwards

Well done you!

I just wanted to add my voice. Well done, that's a really big achievement.

Well done be proud,very proud. Big achievement
