I thought it might be nice to have a place to share the highlight of your day (even if it's found in a fleeting moment) 🙂
For me today, the highlight of my day was finishing the most annoying round of crochet in a blanket I have been working on for months. This round has taken me so long and I've found it so frustrating that I didn't think I would ever finish the project. Stitch by (incredibly frustrating) stitch it came together. Super excited to get to change colours and start the next round now!
Looking forward to hearing anyone else's highlights 🙂
The highlight of my day is that I changed the world!!!!! A few weeks ago I posted here about a stigmatizing statement regarding BPD on the new government Head to Health website. Well I didn't stop at venting in Forum Land, and today I received an email that said in part: Thank you for your email regarding the Head to Health Personality Disorders Topic Page. Acknowledging this feedback we have scheduled the sentence “Adjusting your attitude or being willing to try a new way of doing things can be helpful” be removed in the next update. This request has been prioritised and it is expected to be completed by the end of the calendar year.

That is SUCH fantastic news, @Phoenix_Rising. Go you, changing the world. 😊 And thank you, by the way. I checked out that website when you posted about it and I was definitely more brain-mooshed and heart-heavy afterwards. 😕 I’m super glad you were on the case. I think this is the highlight of my day, too. 😊 Thanks, @Phoenix_Rising.🐢

I've had a lovely highlight today. Well kinda two almost.
I got invited to the ballet Peter Pan by a local mh peer support group. It was actually a charity day organised by Lotteries West. It has been a really, really long time since I've been to a ballet or any sort of theatre show, so it was quite special & took me away for just a couple of hours from my MI issues. It was held in one of the most beautiful and theatres in the city. I love old buildings so it was nice to admire it. I also caught up with a sweet young woman who was in my DBT group earlier this year. @outlander she makes me think of you. She's about to graduate in a couple of weeks so it was lovely to chat to her.
My mother also messaged me today with a very emotional outpouring. It was a bit of a shock, because I've tried to protect her by hiding as much as possible of my MI from her. She's been through enough in her own life without feeling more guilt about my MI. She worried that I had felt abandoned & let down by her (which I do, but didn't tell her). I'm glad I gave it some time before I responded in a careful, considerate manner. I think everything in our relationship is preserved; something I work very hard at maintaining. So it was a highlight, and lowlight as I realise how much she cares & feels helpless in her own way to help me right now but it's left my teary, guilty and emotional after a happy occasion.

The highlight of my day today has been music ☺
My "Top Songs 2017" playlist from Spotify is something I have been looking forward to getting and it's been really interesting to look back on this year via a playlist.

The highlight of my day today was an email I got this evening officially stating that, after a very long and hard fight, we no longer require housing support as we are finally "securely housed".
Big relief tears and maybe even some kind of closure tonight 🙂
