What's your most recent achievement?
My most recent one is talking to a listener on this website, because I tried it a long time ago and got to scared because I'm always afraid that I am bothering everyone around me so this was a hige thing even if it was only for a little while, and my person was really nice so that was also helpful.
@MythicalBeast99 - I'm so proud of you for reaching out! I know it can feel overwhelming or scary sometimes, but I think this is a huge step and I'm hopeful that you feel comfortable continuing to reach out for the support you need. :)
Reminding myself that I am doing all I can right now and it is enough.
@bestVase7265 - It 1000% is! Way to go with recognizing that your best is always enough!
Thanks.@Anomalia
I'm actually doing good in my classes so far.
@Soccerlover1829 - Congratulations, that's great!
Quitting tinder, uninstalling it, and basically getting off the rat race.
But it's more than that, really. It was about letting go of that desire to love and be loved. After all, as much as I want to say that being in tinder is just about having fun, in the back of my head, I'm still hopelessly waiting for "the one" to sweep me off my feet, albeit in the form of a sexual predator as they all come in tinder. That's why it always hurt, after being on a date, and admitting to myself that it was nothing more than a hook up.
And really I can't blame the guys I date, when I specifically told them that I want a hook up. Why did I say that when I'm obviously looking for love? Because noone will take you in tinder if you look like a trap for a serious relationship. So I say I want a hook up, and then do my best to get them to fall for me. Of course, it's always the other way around. I fall, and they had their good time.
So I say that quitting tinder is a real achievement for me. It was more than about stopping myself from being used by guys who probably knew what I really wanted and used it against me, but it was also about finally quitting the addiction and desperate craving for romance. It was about finally giving more value to myself than seeing myself as a failure because I'm loveless.
It was about recognizing that being on my own is not necessarily a bad thing, and there are so many things I could do, and I could do all that even if I don't have a loving partner by my side.
@HopefulLittleGirl3 - I'm really proud of you for starting to recognize your own worth and that you deserve more than letting yourself be used in the hopes of ekeing out a little affection. You deserve to be loved thoroughly, by others, but even more so, by yourself!
@Anomalia Thank you! I hope this inner strength continues! After all, my friends started installing tinder, inspired by my "conquests". They don't understand the costs. I need this strength for them now, to try to tell them what exactly they're signing up for before it's too late. Of course, if they can handle the hook up life though and not be broken about it, I'll fully support them.
I quit turning to alcohol to make me feel better. I seemed help and I learnt my self worth.
@SeptemberKat14 - Good for you! Recognizing an unhealthy coping mechanism and letting go of it isn't easy, but it means a lot!
I have venturing out more and facing my fears with my agoraphobia at the moment
@Violetsandpeonies - Way to go! I'm so impressed by your getting out there and facing those fears!
@Violetsandpeonies You can do it you
Instead of self harming today, when I felt like I wanted to, I cut up fruit instead. I didn't self harm and I made myself a nice snack.
