Oh My! 2 Positive Things In One Day For Me

[UmightKnowMe]

I tend to be kind of hard on myself about things and also tend to not trust myself or believe in myself that I am competant to do things and I also discount positives that come my way. So today is a real banner day for me! Not only do I have TWO positives...but I am here celebrating them. That really adds up to THREE cuz I generally don't allow myself to feel pride (shameful).

1) I had myself in a very anxious state earlier today and managed to self-talk myself down ALL BY MYSELF! I didn't have any prompts or anything. I just journaled it all out and was honest with myself and even gave myself permission to be freaked out for a bit and that alone helped a lot.

2) I got a compliment from someone that I hardly know. I tried to discount it by saying "No it isn't me, it is my son who deserves the praise." and he said "Behind every strong kid is a strong parent." I might need a bigger hat cuz my head is getting big here. LOL

One question has been puzzling me UmightKnowMe...How might I know you?

HUGS
Keep hanging tough!

 

[UmightKnowMe]

You might know me cuz there are people you meet every day who may be struggling with PTSD or other things and you dont even know it. Who knows...I could be someone's next door neighbor! :dontknow:

 

[Robyn]

Heheh...kinda what I figured.

Still..I felt compelled to ask, since I've been drawn to your name since joining.

As you can see...I didn't have the creativity to come up with something original.

Hugs!

sorry! I am just a regular person...and a chicken one at that....or I woulda registered with my name instead of a nickname. So dont go dissing yourself Robyn, cuz you are gutsier than me! :) But we are both here and thats the important part eh?

If I were a sufferer and not a carer, I might want to hide my identity too.

When you become comfortable with yourself then you may want to reveal the YOU in you.

Hugs
