i almost did it (tw sh)
(TW SH) i almost did it after all these years. my life is so much better than it was back then yet sometimes i fall back into that old way of thinking.
@bubbleFig686 Well done Bubble! That is great to hear. You should be proud! What suggestions do you have for others that may help them?

learning what i was dealing with and understanding myself better helped a lot!
@bubbleFig686 Good answer. Learning about triggers and distraction and avoidance techniques can be very helpful too.
Do you keep a journal?

yes, it’s how i try to manage everything going on. it gives space to come back to it and see what i was going thru earlier
@bubbleFig686 I agree, writing things down and then looking back can be really useful.
I am so pleased for you, it is one day at a time and we can do this! Do you share with anyone how you feel?

@bubbleFig686 Wow, that is pretty incredible. I am so glad that you were able to look back and realize that you are now in a better place than you were. It sounds like you've learned some pretty good coping skills, like reflection, journaling, and recognizing your triggers.
Thank you for being brave and vulnerable and posting about your struggles.
I am glad you are here, and part of 7cups. ((Hugs))

Thank you for sharing bubblefig 💗
It is really positive you are able to reflect on the positive changes in your life, it really shows your growth and resilience. Remember we are all only human and it's okay to stumble, it's okay to fall, it's what we do to get back up that matters. It sounds like you did well not to do it and it's really positive you recognised when you were falling back into that old way of thinking because that's how we get backup 💗 You are doing so well and I am proud of you, we are here for you
