Today’s Victories

nearconstantsadness:

When I was discharged from the hospital, I was put in an out-patient program to educate on mental health and coping strategies.  One of the biggest things that our teacher, C, taught us, was that despite the things that DO go wrong, there is a success not far away.

I got inspired to start posting my daily successes, which I called ‘Victories’, before I went to sleep at night.  Most days I was good about it, some days I slipped.  I’m going to endeavour to write them here and start up again, because it’s inspired some of my friends.  If I, a simple little lady from Canada, can inspire someone, then shit, I might as well keep on going.

So today’s victories are:

Woke up despite an exhausting night.
Made it to my counselling appointment.
Took care of the baby despite the exhaustion.
Had a fun visit with my grandmother.
Overcame some hefty grumpiness during the day.
Problem-solved an issue with the house.
