Proud of myself

I'm having therapy for PTSD and today I did the thing that's been causing me anxiety.

I felt quite tense but there was a moment where I could have felt super confused, but I didn't, my executive function kicked in and just told me where I was and what to do next.

That was a major, major win for me. I can't tell you how much. When you've had everything pulled from under you in a series of events.

I don't know that life will ever be completely the same. It can't be. But there is hope.

I did not feel anxious (tense but not anxious) and I did not have a panic attack.

Well done! Onwards and upwards. And when it's a bad day, it's just that. It's not the end of your progress 💪
