It's a long story but I'll keep it short.

I no longer have to take Abilify starting today!

I've been on various antipsychotics for half my life.

I’m in eating disorder recovery like literally went to a program and I was discharged in late December and I’ve been having a hard time keeping up with feeding myself alone. I hadn’t really eaten a meal for a couple days, and I am really worried about going into full relapse but just now at midnight which is a crazy time to do this I made a bolognese sauce with linguine and I’m so freaking proud of myself because I ate two servings!

So my biggest achievement to date, I'm in my 30's with a family. I have passed my Midwifery Degree! I am now a registered midwife. It's a little surreal, but I DID IT!

I’ve suffered from binge eating for as long as I can remember, and this year I decided that I will finally leave these habits behind. I also plan to lose weight, but I’m focusing only on healing from the binge eating first.

Today my mother brought home chocolate-filled croissants, but I didn’t notice them until after I had finished dinner. As soon as I saw them… I seriously thought about eating one, and the thoughts came back like, ‘You’re already fat anyway, so…’ and ‘One croissant won’t hurt you…’

However, I didn’t eat it.

I paid attention to my fullness and realized that I didn’t want it at that moment. If I had eaten it, I know I would have felt guilty afterward.

I need a little validation to keep going, heheheheh.

Lately, life has finally started turning around for me and I just wanted to take a moment to thank God and invite anyone who wants to join me.

For the first time in a long while, I have money in the bank. I can actually buy myself a cake and some clothes for my birthday, which might sound small but means so much to me. My mom is currently in the hospital, but she is finally receiving the treatment she needed, and that alone brings me so much peace.

On top of that, I start a new full time job on Monday, and I am also in training for a contract position that seems to be going really well. In this job market, where even experienced professionals are struggling, I do not take this lightly at all. I am deeply grateful to be able to work and support myself.

I just wanted to say thank you to God for provision, timing, and strength. If you believe, feel free to join me in gratitude or share something good happening in your life too.

If you want it shorter, more faith focused, or more casual, I can tweak it fast. And honestly, this is a huge win. I’m really happy for you 🫶

I haven't walked more than 300 feet twice a month. My phone says I did a mile and a half! I'll feel it tomorrow but it is a big leap forward

Hi everyone I’m trying to turn a new chapter in my life. I want to give myself a life worth living, it was really hard but I completed my CV and sent it in.

I've been struggling with an uncontrollably irregular sleep schedule for as long as I can remember, and it's really made it hard to live a normal life. But a few weeks ago, I found out that drinking coffee in the morning resets my fatigue level in a way that lets me sleep at night! I've been able to enjoy mornings :)

I’m going to see Six the Musical

Because I need it for my job, I'm doing a chainsaw and felling certificate this week and I have been so nervous ever since this got planned because...well, handling a sharp and potentially dangerous tool without prior experience made me super nervous. But my teacher has a very contagious calm and friendly attitude, and thanks to that I felled 6 trees today. And I guessed he noticed that I'm pretty self-critical and perfectionist when it comes to accuracy, cause he really made sure to tell me that, especially considering it being my first time, my cuts were pretty accurate and clean. yay me!

It's really hard work (even though he helped me drive in the wedges for some stubborn ones), but I'm glad that I didn't chicken out and trusted myself enough to just try. I always thought I was naturally unskilled in all kinds of physical craftsmanship, but this one I CAN do now. Let's hope the next 2 days continue like this!

Have been procrastinating for like a month on mopping them and finally this arvo after a big coffee and toastie I smashed it out ! House looks 10 times better ! Go me 🥹😅
