So much bad right now, finances are a mess and the house is a wreck from the toddlers that I am just trying to find the positive side of things, because I need to see that some things are OK.

1. Boo is nearly fully potty trained with minimal effort. Still not wanting to do #2 sitting down, but we'll get there. She hasn't had an accident in over 24 hours, including nap and 10-hours of sleep over night. Yay, Boo!

2. Did about five loads of laundry yesterday and paid bills.

3. Being super vulnerable with T these past few days about all my little feelings and my struggles with acting out. Not having too bad of a reaction to that vulnerability.

Here's mine today

1. Read out my letter to t today about her going away

2. Asked my boss to go home after session when I was so upset from my t session and she said yes also known as asking for something to help me

3. Buying some healthy food for a meal that I am cooking for me tonight

I'm reviving this old thread 'cause I need it. Hope you all don't mind. I love reading what everyone wrote on this.

It's been hard to think of positive things I have done today, which is why I need to go this. My internal critic is running amuck again. The list of things I need to do better or screwed up is endless.

3 positive things I did today:
1.) bought healthy balanced food from the grocery store. I only bought one of the food I use the most around ED.
2.) went to a doctor's appointment, with a new doctor, and didn't get nervous
3.) emailed my brother, to tell him what I wanted in our brother-sister relationship.I asked him to call me more often.


anyone else?

Jane, I'm so glad you revived this thread and wow, those things are huge. It is so hard for me to take healthy steps (physical, medical, relational) when I have been struggling, so doing all three of those in one day is amazing.

1. I accepted help from both H and T, even though it terrified me at first.

2. I was able to apply some of the encouragement T gives me on my own.

3. I set a boundary about what I am physically/emotionally capable of doing right now (a family event) without feeling guilty or beating myself up for not being able to live up to expectations. I feel bummed that the person will be disappointed, but not attacking myself as a failure!!!
