❤️

I had less pain yesterday after physical therapy the day before than the day after PT the session before that.

That ability to feel joy when my favorite song comes on the radio and I actually feel happy and connected enough to belt out the lyrics as I’m driving.

Getting up and taking care of myself

This is TMI but when my IBS-M doesn’t act up LMAO. If I keep a very careful diet everything works just fine and it’s 100000x better than the C or D

Being comfortable with myself to leave the house. I used to ve very embarrassed leaving my house because I have mildly severe Tics and use mobility aids and the general public was a place I felt very unsafe, but I've gotten better and have pushed myself to go out more and enjoy life as best I can givin I have all of my medical tools/meltdown items with me and I always go out with another person to make it easier, and I can feel at leaste some safety.

I wish everyone in this thread the very best 🫶 I love to see so much kindness and understanding going around.

When I can have a normal conversation with one of my teachers without awkwardly walking away

it can be hard for me to celebrate my victories, but things like brushing teeth, taking a shower (especially one that’s not 30 minutes long), getting out of bed before 11:30 on weekends, or doing even a little bit of schoolwork.

When I have moments that aren't consumed by anxiety or when I have enough of an appetite to actually eat something!

Remembering to take my meds, and if I make it through a day without sensory overload or a meltdown or shutting down that's HUGE.

God introduce me to some new people and I was able to make some new friends to comfort me

Controlling my anger and getting through each and everyday.

Going a full day medicated, hydrated, and not having to sleep an excess amount to recover from both dry coughs, and burnout symptoms!

Getting through the day. 🙌

making it through each day sober and going one day at a time

I made a to-do list and even if I end up not doing anything on it, being alive is good enough for a day.

I took my medications today! 🙌💕

When I'm house-sitting and the cat that is supposedly more shy comes to purr in my lap- especially when she did that when I was feeling down about myself. Reminded me that even though I struggle animals still seem to like me and I see that as a huge win.

Getting out of bed these days because it's so hard

Going to class (even if I'm late)

Eating a meal that doesn't make me have a allergic reaction

Write myself a note of praise and mail it to myself to receive later in the week as a fun reminder.

Cooking on the stove without anything going wrong

Making my bed, remember to change my underwear, brushing my teeth, washing my hair and completing a whole day of college.

Waking Up, Surviving The Day

I exersized today

I’m working on radical acceptance and self-forgiveness, healing my inner child.

When I've been backed up for an excruciating amount of time and you finally get diarrhea and totally eradicate a whole freaking week of meals in a matter of minutes... truly magnificent 🙌

Life

Something I’ve always struggled with is weight- I lose it like nothing but have such a hard time gaining it back…so anytime I weigh myself and the number goes up I celebrate

Being able to do my full shower and skincare routine is definitely a victory for me. Most days I'm lucky to just be able to shampoo and condition my hair.

Getting out of bed

Taking a, shower and getting dressed

brushing my teeth. getting up, being a little productive instead of not at all. resting. feeling myself emerge on the other side of a dark tunnel :} everything ebbs and flows, the victories will come (or maybe you’re making them right now.)

Getting up, getting dressed, brushing my teeth... Doing things I need to do for other people online and taking a shower at night. It's not enough for some people but it is for me.

Doing homework

I only took a 10 minute emotional breakdown to process a situation and was able to communicate my needs without breaking down again.

Waking up every day! 🙌🙏

Staying alive

Just.. waking up. And getting out of bed.

I’m currently on a weightloss journey to get to a healthy weight , so every lb or so that I loose I celebrate a little

I stopped having to take my meds nightly!!! I have forgotten about them :))))!!!

Things like getting out of bed, drinking water, dedicating to hygienic and skin care routines. I have my days where I feel like I don't have time or I just feel dead inside.

Trying to keep out of hospital it's been year now and get out of bed and have at least 2 meals a day.

Waking up

Everything little thing I can do independently #cerebralpalsy

cleaning the dishes

Getting dressed

Having no migraines for more than a week!

Not having any arguments for a whole week

Remembering to take and log my meds and not have a seizure and I believe I haven't had one since September 🎉🎉

That is awesome. I'm coming up on my 7 month mark, but my migraines are coming back so for me it's either one or the other. 🙄🙄

Completing meals

getting chores done or remembering to eat

doing anything creative like fashion design ideas or composing music orrr painting original work

Sometimes I have to celebrate simply making it to my "appointment"(class, work and so on)

Having a nice conversation with someone

When I do the all the dishes instead of focusing on my hyperfixation.

When I get a school assignment done :) (it’s been very hard for me to concentrate on school so this is why it’s a victory for me >:) )

Taking a poo is very important and special to me when it happens 🙌

anything that involves challenging my anxieties 🤗

moving more. i stay lazy and unmotivated all the time. lately, it has actually been giving me happy when i do something.

Being able to move with out hurting

Getting dressed, eating, brushing me teeth and showering.

Showering, eating, focusing on one task

Showering, sitting up in bed, knowing my limits, standing up for myself when people won't accommodate my needs.

turning in an assignment, cleaning my room, eating a full and healthy meal, going to bed early

Taking meds, cleaning up the room, showering!

Doing my homework

Showering, working hard, resting. I don't always take very good care of myself or have a great life-work balance but I'm getting better at it and I'm so proud of myself for it :D

Not eating all the snacks in the house when I get to work from home.

When I complete any project around the house!

Showing up each day, eating, going to therapy and appointments, and days when my symptoms are more manageable!

Remembering to get a little exercise in, like a short walk with the dog, or some squats (with support, don’t have the balance otherwise). Also, remembering not to overdo it when I do so. 🙃

showering

Learning how to walk again due to the massive amount of time put asleep in hospital ❤️‍🩹

Getting out of bed

Showering, brushing my teeth, putting my clothes away, eating without my body having a bad reaction

Getting up and sitting at my desk to work, getting any chores done, taking the dog out! I find the little things tough at the moment, so I need to be kind to myself and celebrate even small achievements 😊

finishing a bowl sometimes and doing my work

When I finally can get up and shower after a lengthy depressive state. 🤗

the days I can get up, and go outside to have genuine fun

Since I found out my back is broken I am still grateful I am still able to walk around. Who knows for how long one bump and I'm I'm a wheelchair?

Getting through rape and abuse from the ones I thought I could trust, how strong I've become despite all that's happened from it & currently realising that it stuffed up my life quite a bit and moving past it, taking it as a lesson in my everyday life

Sometimes it's just getting out of bed. But my kids make every day worth it.

Getting a shower, using my skincare routine

Good question. I was in a accident when I was 26, its been 15 yrs now so far, and I feel like I can’t do anything anymore on my own.

I have been trying not to be so self critical and do self care for myself. I have celebrated getting medication for my ADHD and I had an intake appointment for therapy. The next goal I have is learning to live myself more and to be less negative in general.

Any day I don't wake up in pain or with a raging migraine. Because that happens almost every day

getting out of bed

Eating

All of them! Anything that is a 1% improvement or more. Considering I couldn't walk or talk properly 4 years ago I'm so happy to celebrate anything.

When I am patient with my daughter. I am also very proud of the times when I see my daughter feeling content, happy, or safe.
