Celebrating a small victory in my PTSD recovery

I'm proud of you! I have mental and physical illnesses, and I know how much of a Big Deal a shower can be. 💕

I'm so incredibly proud of you! I know how much of a struggle that can be. The trick that I used in order to be able to take a shower was to shower in the dark with a candle or some small sense of light. That has been helping me get through the years with PTSD. You are doing a fantastic job! Reading your post made me so happy for you.

That is seriously amazing! I remember when I could start taking showers without panic attacks too. I had no idea others had this same struggle with ptsd and showers. I always thought I was the weird one out 😂 but seriously that is amazing. Soon enough your showers will turn into a place that calms you as you escape from the stress of life instead of being something you have to prepare for. You got this and you’re so strong to keep pushing through everything each day. Don’t give up on your healing journey. 💕

That's absolutely lovely good job dearie ❤️ ^^ a little trick for you try playing some of your favorite music when showering, having something positive to overcome the negative is always good ❤️❤️❤️ take care

So proud of you! Anything that you can start doing that you couldn't do before is a huge step! 🤗👍👍

❤️❤️❤️ That's awesome!! Any day I can drag my butt into the shower is a major victory. Definitely be proud❤️❤️❤️

Be proud of your small accomplishments !!

I was smiling as I was reading your post, I am truly happy that you were able to shower today and proud of all of those we were able to do that too, I know for some it may seem like nothing but really this something is a huge thing and I’m happy that we’re doing the little things we couldn’t do, one step at a time is all it takes ❤️❤️ keep it up

Congrats! When struggling with PTSD and/or depression accomplishments like this are definitely worth celebrating!

With PTSD and depression that’s a major accomplishment. Congratulations🌻

Hey, that's a huge step, especially if you have PTSD or Depression, so yeah, you should be proud! I'm proud of you!

Lucky you! I still can't yet, but I'm still trying. See you on the other side my friend.

I'm so so proud! I was assaulted a few times two over two and a half years ago and still shower with the lights off, but remember how proud I was when I could shower at all. Go you!!

Be proud of yourself.
