Little wins

Little wins

I had a look and couldn't see any threads for people to post their "little wins" with mental health.

I am trying to find something, anything, that is positive in my life...

My little win is that I haven't SH'd in two days, which might not seem like a big deal, but I've been harming multiple times a day for the last 4 weeks.

I bought some bath bombs from Lush, so I am trying to hold out for another day or two so I can have a nice hot bath without any stinging wounds.

Hi, this is Bella here, it's been a long time since last we chated, you may not even remember me. It's lovely to see you again, I love your new Thread! :)

My little Win is, when I wake up what ever time of the morning, for what ever reason, I always get, depressed, & sad, about always being on my own/alone.

My little win is- I am working on waking up, & being positive by identifying the negative thought, & replacing it with something positive.

Love & Hugs!

Well done @Crazy_Bug_Lady @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope

I am doing ok with tracking my mood. I am learning to watch without judging.

Great thread @Crazy_Bug_Lady

I am learning to be responsive to my feelings and non judgemental and take a prn instead of being too long suffering about things.

However I also called out a photo as "being ravaged by pain" and was glad that a friend acknowledged my experience and the image in a respectful manner.

Love this as an idea for a thread @Crazy_Bug_Lady 🙂

Concentration has been a problem for me for a while now. I find it difficult to sit still and focus on lots of things, including books. Today I finished a book for the first time in ages 😊 It felt so good and was a little win for me

@CheerBear that's great! I wish I could get in the right mindset to be able to read. Maybe one day...

My small win is that I am (again) 2 days free from SH. Unfortunately after I first posted about not SH'ing 2 day everything went pear shaped and I SH'd again...

I'm gonna try and at least last till Friday, my family will be out for the day so I'd have the chance to have the house to myself, hopefully have a bath!

Re: Little wins

My little win is I managed to smash out another assignment at college today. I would've finished the subject and passed it too, if only work I had typed into the online learning portal wasn't lost. Now after a few tears of frustration and exhaustion, I'm having to redo the assignment after a few hours' work lost. I'm looking at the positives though!

Re: Little wins

I went to a mental illness support group last week. I knew that I would chicken out, so I asked Dad to drop me off (so I'd have to go). Unfortunately I was in a panic and essentially sat there spaced out the whole meeting...

So for my wins...

I went again to the support group today. Went by myself, and even managed to talk a little too! Given that I no longer have the support of a social worker or a MH Network I figured I should try and find some support...

Two weeks without SH. I've been SH'ing a few times a day for the last two years, only stopping for a few days here and there. I'm not too sure about how I feel about this really.
