What Is One Accomplishment That Others Take For Granted?

[Seasounds]

For me, moving and touching things, in my own apartment/home, even some of the time.

 

[DogwoodTree]

Still struggling with all of these:

Looking at myself in the mirror
Trying on clothes at the store
Holding hands with a significant other
Watching movies with intimate scenes

 

[Stickler]

Being out in public.
Liking myself.
Having any faith in myself at all.

 

[Chincho]

Getting out of the house.
Having a conversation on the phone.

 

[Panda Bear]

Being okay with doing things for myself, even small things.
Shopping
Social gatherings

 

[Mallaky]

Forcing oneself to start and play and engage in a videogame. Instead of staring blankly into space and doing nothing, thinking nothing.

I am ill right now and am experiencing brain fog, so I don't know if I am understanding the thread correctly but here goes...

to read, to think, to act are things that I think others may take for granted...

I struggle to be able to do psychical things, like simple household chores, due to chronic illnesses.

I also struggle to create and maintain a social life as I have been withdrawn for so long and have lost a lot of my independence.

Forming close intimate relationships is a challenge for me, due to my being disabled with PTSD, so many folks are afraid of me, even the psychiatrists that treat me.

If I choose to share that I was a sexually abused child some people do not try to understand what I go through and are rather discriminatory towards me. They seem to think this automatically makes me a child abuser. :(
