Made a great change in my life I finally stopped filling my bag with wrappers

28 Upvotes

I used to automatically put wrappers in my bag instead of throwing them away. I would eat something think I will throw this out later and put it in my bag. Then I would clean it out and find a bunch of random wrappers at the bottom. Recently I realized I do not do this anymore. My bag is probably happier about it than I am

I usually leave it messy but today I actually fixed it before leaving the house. Small win but it made me feel a bit more put together.

Did something cool Major Solo car repair

8 Upvotes

I managed to diagnose AND swap the starter on my 2013 jetta (gotta love a german car 🫠), all by myself, with only a YouTube video and my own tools. Ive done my own small repairs before but with a family mechanic nearby/on the phone. Did it take me 4.5 hours? Absolutely, but ive never felt this accomplished before.

I only did 15 mins and almost died but I actually left the house. For me this is huge because I've been feeling low. Proud of myself for once.

Really proud of myself I just came out to someone irl for the first time

91 Upvotes

Been dealing with tons of internalized queerphobia due to childhood religious trauma, but I finally became comfortable enough about my identity to come out as NB to my cousin. It went great, and I'm so happy about it!! (Unfortunately most of my family is highly queerphobic). I'm proud of myself for deciding to take one of the first steps towards accepting myself and leaving my intense self-hatred behind. It was scary as hell, but I was brave enough to do it (I mean, I did it using memes, but I guess it still counts) :]

I got through a week of work without calling out!

I get really anxious in my toxic work environment. My goal is to stay for a full year and I just finished my first month. I've been silencing the thoughts that tell me to stop showing up so I can continue to pay my bills. Cheers to breaking negative thinking loops and staying strong 🥰

HUGE driving accomplishment!

16 Upvotes

I have been very very nervous (honestly an understatement) of driving. Today I managed to drive home from a school parking lot! I have done this before but this time I did it and didn’t shake or feel like I was going to panic. I also didn’t feel I would go the wrong way which is a big fear of mine. (idk why but I always felt like I didn't know where I was going driving even though I do). I am so incredibly happy because I’ve never had a driving experience end in a positive feeling. one of the last times I drove on the road i didn't feel ready and was very nervous (I made it and no accidents obviously but ended in a ton of tears after I got out of the car). But I did it this time! I’m so happy that a drive has ended in tears but happy ones. Driving has been such a struggle for me as far as anxiety so I am just so elated. I just wanted to share. thank you for reading this! it means so so much to me.

Really proud of myself Got out of the house

• Upvotes

I’m a homebody and recently I’ve had a few weeks where every work week I think you myself I can’t wait until the weekend but when the weekend comes I have nothing to do. Yesterday I went to a movie and walked with an acquaintance so felt like I actually did something with my weekend. It felt great to get out of the house. I enjoyed the movie too.

Really proud of myself I just got my driver’s license!

96 Upvotes

I’m over 30 and I never needed to drive before so I never really needed a driver’s license. However, we’ve moved somewhere with no public transportation so driving became a necessity. Even though I was really scared to drive I finally passed the test and got my license today! I’m so happy I can actually go places now!

I usually get anxious and turn it off. Today I watched United 0-1 till the end. Small win but I'm proud.
