Post one thing you're proud of yourself for doing today! :) Thought it could be a fun ongoing motivational thing.

I've finished and printed my philosophy paper! I'm getting there ... q__q

What's the paper about, ?

There were some school papers I liked writing (I'm a huge nerd lol), I sure don't miss school and having multiple papers with deadlines though!

I did some laundry and dishes today. I've gotten a lot better about keeping up with housework. Helped my husband with some cooking. We've been doing a lot of big Sunday meal prep cooking.

Some stuff about humanity. I'm not the most skilled in philosophy (especially the second course) but it's a mandatory class. I've done my best and now there is only the final exam. I hope to score big so the last exam is less of a gamble.

I love meal prep! It saves me a lot of time during the week.

I'm about to put homemade bread in the oven! :D

I called the phone numbers listed on fraudulent charges made to my card, and went to the bank to file disputes! (I have high anxiety.)

Oh my god, that's a nightmare. Good luck getting it sorted out. Also congrats on dealing with your anxiety and going out/standing up for yourself. I think the more you do it, you might even start to enjoy it. :)

Today I paid all the bills I sorely needed to pay, bought my first book of checks, signed a form so I can start getting some mental health counseling, and got some books from the library that I'm excited to read. Hoping my next day off can be more of an exercise and clean sort of day. :)

I got a promotion today at work <3

I am sorry, I thought this post was going to be about something naughty. XD

Well it could be if that's what you're glad you did today I guess lol

Hahaha I wish, but it's that time of the month. LOL. Don't want to create a crime scene, you know. :P

I'm getting frustrated with my job search again. I applied to even more jobs today even though I didn't want to. Have resolved to put some more applications out every time I'm frustrated about not hearing back from places.

I got out of bed, showered and got to work on time. It doesn't seem like much but I deal with poorly controlled depression, seasonal affective disorder (which makes my already bad depression even worse), and Generalized anxiety disorder. So a day where I can leave my house without crying is a win.

Ummm...I've not killed myself or anyone else at work today. Not for lack of wanting to. JK...kind of. :/

I've been there.

i started putting ink wash on my final drawing project...!

I love this idea for a thread! 😍

Today I worked out after I woke up! I'm excited because I finally found a workout routine that works for my lifestyle & works on what I want to improve. After a looong stretch of treating my body poorly it feels so good to be getting back on track.

Job searches are the absolute worst. After my bf & I moved far from home, it took him 7 months to find a new job– but the one he got turned out to be more perfect than we could've imagined. Crossing my fingers that the same luck comes your way <3

I started a couple courses on Alison and began my 2018 "Year of Projects".

I'm often in the same boat re: depression, just recently pulled myself out of a pretty long go with it--no social life, wasn't eating properly, slept all day, wasn't doing anything productive. Sometimes just the 'simplest' things are something you can be massively proud of when you're being affected by it, so huge congratulations on cleanliness and getting to work on time. It's not small. <3

Today I'm continuing to treat smut writing as my job while my job search continues, though I have some job prospects I'm excited about. I'm late on it this year but I'm happy I finally started decorating my Christmas tree! After my husband and I said fuck it with the garland for this year and agreed I'll just put ornaments on, lol. I wanted his help with the garland because he gets picky about it but we've put off the tree too long and I'm home more since he has a desk job.

-Plisetsky Thank you for the well wishes and commiseration about job hunting. It's tough all over these days. I know a lot of people my age (nearly 30) who are struggling with finding work even though many of them are incredibly talented and intelligent. It sucks to have grown up and realized marketing/connections/etc. end up being more important than talent in finding work. Well, perseverance is even more important. I haven't lost that, and there's comfort in seeing lots of people have the same struggle.

and I understand this about depression so much too. I've started thinking of it as a problem of momentum. I have to keep myself busy, which is tough with no job, or I stop wanting to do much of anything. Sometimes I have to force myself to do things, but I end up feeling better afterwards.

I'm off the medicine that made me so sick. I'm still in the stages of withdrawal but it's gonna get easier and better!
