Had a small victory today. No panic attacks or feeling anxious, and it was my best friends birthday so I'm so glad I didn't have an attack. I've begun to notice small differences since I joined the support group. Hopefully, I'm slowly but surely making progress.

Bad stuff is gonna happen, whether I am *jinxed* or not. All the more reason to celebrate when I can. Carpe diem.

YAY ME!!! I GOT ONE RIGHT!!! Not even *I* can get them *ALL* wrong!!!!

But a victory still feels bigger when somebody else sees it.

Thank you! I'm learning to accept that though they may seem like small things at first they are major victories. I'm just new to being supported by other people. Most of the time if i had a day like today, I'd be happy at first, but then scared and depressed because I knew it wasn't going to last. But thanks to ya'll I've learned to b happy as long as I can and celebrate those days.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
