AIBU to ask what is the thing you've done in 2016 that's made you proudest?

[Saggingninja]

For me - despite being diagnosed with Cronh's disease, I carried on doing yoga classes all year. Now I'm looser, more relaxed, and a nagging shoulder pain from a 20 year car accident has gone.

What are you proudest of? It can be big, small or miniscule.

I want to add that I just dyed my own hair! I have never done that before!

Gained my MSc after 2 years of being a part time student whilst working 60 hours per week.

Had my son, and exclusively breast fed him for 5 months and counting despite a posterior tongue tie (eventually snipped, but unfortunately re-attached) causing various nipple damage and cows milk protein allergy meaning cutting all dairy and soya from my diet. He is thriving and the best thing I've ever done.

derxa thanks

I got a Consultant post. 20 years of study and hard work at med school and as a junior doctor (minus 2 mat leaves). Such a relief.

attended my husband's funeral and kept my shit together

seven months later attended my mother's funeral and kept my shit together.

two months later attended my son in law's funeral and kept my shit together.

restarting work tomorrow.

occult and thought I'd had a shit year! You should be proud, onwards and upwards....

MissWilla - thank you. I haven't spent time on the bereavement board here as that's not me. Although I know they help a lot of people.

Prefer to try and stay positive (and deploy black sense of humour).

I have a rather worrying perception that after this year my social skills are reduced to me approaching people saying "guess who's died now".

Onward and upwards will be attempted tomorrow.

Like your style 😀 People will be hiding....!

fingers crossed next year better all round.

Feared I had made a huge mistake after giving up a job that was making me miserable, but six months later got a new job that's better in so many ways! Leaving a job with with nothing to go to was risky, but I'm enormously proud that I succeeded all on my own.
