What is something you're proud of?

I've recently made some pretty big steps towards getting my anxiety issues in check. I won't bore with too many details, but I will mention that these are severe issues that hinder my life a lot.

I know that they'll never be cured totally, but it's nice to overcome at least some of the obstacles that come with them.

Here's to hopin' that I can keep it up!!

I am proud of myself for breaking up with my ex. We lived together still when I did it, but everyone's advice on the boards definitely helped. I did it in April and haven't looked back since.

When I graduated college, I spent the summer with my parents then moved miles away by myself to live across the country independently. Tbh it has certainly been hard, and I've been flat broke (like $52/week broke). I've hit my lowest lows of mental and physical ailments. I've lost many friends and support systems. But I am pround of myself! I do not need to rely on anyone to survive, neither parent nor partner. I know how to stand alone and make a living. I'm proud to have taken this bold step when most of my loved ones have always chosen easier but less happy paths.

To everyone who replied here with big life issues, hugs from me and I know you can make it! :) We're a bunch of lonely souls but together we're never alone.


Myself, I'm proud of still being alive today. I was addicted to alcohol/speed/cocaine for a long time, last year was the worst. I still drink too much sometimes but I've quit all the other stuff. I'm also proud that despite everything, and having lost many friends, I'm still able to give myself fully to someone and be there for them. I would never abandon someone and I always try to cheer people up when they're down. They can always crash at my place or call me even when it's 4am. I will never be one of *those* friends who only likes you when you're happy. I'm also proud of my intelligence, but I never say that out loud lol. I don't want to risk being called arrogant. I've met some really intelligent people who were terrible stuck-up know-it-all. Really gross.

Aand I'm really proud of my story and how it's progressing. Been writing for almost a year, but most of it is still in my head.
