I don't have anyone to be proud of me so I'm just gonna post it here. I got a shower today and i didnt have a panic attack during it! that probably means nothing to whoever reads this but I'm really happy since this is the first time since my PTSD started kicking my butt.

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

@Horror_Boi93 🥺 thank you
Lucky you! I still can't yet, but I'm still trying. See you on the other side my friend.
@Irelan take small steps my friend.. try turning the lights off and listening to music that brings you joy. Or if you have a safe space toy or something you hold with you try to relieve some of the stress with it. You got this love and I'm proud of you
@Irelan you can do it! It takes some time but you will get there. 💕
@Irelan rooting for you!!
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!!
@Elianah thank you!!! I have a really hard time with showers so this is probably the first time in a month or so that I washed my hair 😅. I try to get a little better every day ♡
Be proud of yourself.
