Thank you! I am proud to say I am in the process of cooking myself some roasted pepper soup. Just for me.

I find that self-care for me can bring up lots of feelings of guilt and shame but also unfamiliarity or being foreign. It's the same with feeling difficult feelings or taking charge of my own recovery. Needed the things to do so that I'm safe list and the you're going to be okay list before I moved onto the self-care list. I still feel a little shame about splurging on things I want because I don't have a lot of money, but things get better daily.
