I got accepted into my undergraduate program and ended up with a B in a class that I struggled with in the beginning.

I grew up the “golden child” with all A’s and ik my mother would be let down or disappointed of a B but I’m happy! This is a class where even though I didn’t get an A, I can actually retain the information and know I did the best I could :)

This will probably be my first semester of college (out of 3yrs) where I didn’t get all A’s but I’ve taken challenging classes and battled my mental health so im proud!

hello i'm a beginner sewist and i remember seeing vague instructions on how to make a front tie bikini top nightgown. with my memory on the steps ( shit for brains lol) i constructed this dress with a handkerchief and some scraps i had lying around. this is a mockup just to see if my memory serves me well, and i think it did! i used my childhood bear as a model because my cats are maine coons and are very fluffy and don't serve the purpose of models very well. you still get cat pics tho, because i won't deprive you of that. thank you for checking out my post, have a great day/ night!

I had some debt that I gained after a very stressful move and longer time in between jobs than planned as well as having to pay for an emergency for our cat. I just paid the last off!

I know I’m fortunate to have not had circumstances where I had mountains of debt but even having a small amount of debt has been weighing on me this year.

It's skewed downward by yesterday being a really good day of only 3.5 hours, and by it only being 4:10 as in the day isn't over lol, but still...that will still be relevant when I make the most of my night by going to another jam session, instead of having time to mess with my iPad. I was tempted to ask to stay home alone because it's getting colder and colder, and because I'm a little bit tired and sad sometimes lol. Still, I said yes when my dad asked me to go and watch.

I have PTSD from being sexually assaulted in my sleep and a fear of doctors due to medical malpractice and abuse from therapists in the past (not the same event as the SA, just neglect and verbal abuse) so this is a scary thing for me.

So the thing is I struggle so badly with severe anxiety and depression. And sometimes when it hits me I be unable to do anything. It’s like I’m in a fight or flight mode. And it’s like freeze sometimes. About 1-2 weeks ago this happened and I couldn’t go to one of my exams (thankfully on that day they decided to cancel it:) it gave me hope)

so after that I literally fought against my mind to get where I am rn.. again. and I’m feeling better:)

I've only played with friends before, and the friend who used to organize games and I had a HUGE (and tbh a little traumatic) falling out awhile back. I've been really emotionally down about it for weeks. I was worried that my experience with this friend would cause getting back into dnd to bring up sour emotions, but playing again felt amazing! I've been buzzing about it all day 🥰

kind of a downer I know, but last night I was spiraling after hearing some difficult news, and was going to do many things I would've regretted (but didn't!!) and I managed to live another day despite it all

edit: wowowow I didn't expect this amount of reception (or any at all LOL), I'm doing fine right now. unfortunately I am a very mentally ill person so episodes like these are common for me. however, that doesn't mean I want to let it control me. I'm going to do my best to stick around!! thank you so so so much for the lovely comments. I started tearing up while reading them hehe. thank you from the depths of my soul. I mean it.

Ive been a daily cannabis smoker since i was 16, im now 32. Today is my day off and its the first time ive not smoked as soon as i wake up in about 5 years

Can You help me to find a job?

I don’t have any scheduling on Wednesdays and I feel isolated on those days, so even though I didn’t have anyone to go with I thought it was a good thing to do for myself!

I definitely enjoyed it and look forward to seeing it again on Disney Plus, but in the meantime it was good to do something for myself.

Just a consult, but I felt out of control and in crisis today and reached out to a friend who actually helped me get it started! Finally. Fucking lord.

hi :)

i’m a first gen college student. i’m so scared of the next chapter in my life, but i’m so happy that i graduated. it’s looking like my grandmother can’t come, my other grandparents are no contact, and my other family is unreliable in coming by. i would just like some words of encouragement if you don’t mind :)

I got turned down and it was devastating (because we had already been hooking up exclusively for nearly two years at this point) but I did it and now I can move on.
Kinda wanna die but again, very very proud of myself for speaking my truth and stuff. I never tell people when I have feelings for them because I’m afraid this will happen and honestly? It doesn’t hurt as bad as I expected it to. I’m proud.

I had a friend date tonight but ended up getting really sick and for once I actually took my health into consideration and rescheduled the plans instead of just going and trying to stick it out. I hate disappointing people but I know I shouldn't risk it.

TLDR, I asked a woman I found attractive out today. I haven't bothered asking a woman out in person in years because the answer has always been no. Any romantic successes I've had have always been online. But I've recently been watching what I eat and have lost quite a bit of weight, but still have a ways to go. Regardless, I've been feeling more confident and shot my shot with a waitress at a restaurant today. While I knew her answer would be "no", I'm still proud of myself for even starting to try again.

I noticed today that my hands are covered in paint and markers, im an artist from when i remember Before the abuse i had my hands allways covered in art suplies Then it stopped And today i noticed it came back to me, the joy of creating and using my hands to do art i enjoy

She’s been a year in the making but she’s in!! (Yes I’m anthropomorphizing my thesis, I’ve spent almost a year on it, it feels like a whole beast to me 😆). I won’t be posting the topic or details because it’s niche and could identify me because it will be published in the new year, but I’m so proud of myself!

after being diagnosed with emerging bpd at 15 to full bpd at 18, having no help from statutory services and doing the work all on my own for the last 6/7 years, i had review with the adult mental health team and they’ve confirmed my bpd has been resolved!

title is self explanatory. i'm very sick. but i've also impressed myself with this one and not sure where else i could brag

I was sitting here and being all anxious about all I had to do then I looked at my spotify wrapped and realised that I made it through 2024

Like, dude, YOU MADE IT. It was a hard year and even when things seemed bleak you preserved and you actually made it through AND became a better person in the progress.

I am very proud of myself for making it through the shit show that was 2024 and I am also proud of you, random internet person, because you made it through another year as well and maybe we should all take a second to celebrate small victories

So i’ve been in a major depressive slump for about 6 months and I didn’t clean my room that whole time and it got super bad, it looked like a tornado went through my room. Today I got out of bed for the first time in a bit, and cleaned most of it! I still need to vacuum and pick up some stuff but I’m almost done :)

I’ve never been able to before no matter how hard I tried

Beginner level, but I'm super proud and happy

I feel hope. I feel good.

My ex broke up with me in March after two years of hell (on both sides, I'm not trying to pretend I'm perfect) but he "accidentally" sent me a message that was *clearly* intended for his new girlfriend two nights ago. My reply? "I wish you the best, but lose my number"

I never, ever thought I'd become so detached or indifferent and I'm super proud of myself.

I am 29 years old and it's my first time to buy Mcdonald's Chicken Nuggets. Me and my partner ate it all to ourselves. 🥹 we couldn't afford ordering this when I was younger. Usually, me and my siblings would just share with just 1 1 pc McChicken. I am now one of the breadwinners in my family. Still far to go, but I have already come far. Just grateful that I get to make my little self happy today.

WE FOUND OUT TODAY I'M HAVING A GIRL. ITS A GIRL ITS A GIRL ITS A GIRL

I've been praying and hoping my first would be a baby girl since I was like 15. And my baby is a girl. I'M LOSING MY MIND WITH HAPPINESS!

My husband is ecstatic, calling the baby his little Hazelnut (her name is Hazel!!), and he's gonna just be the best dad ever. He's gonna be so wrapped up around this little princess's finger. I'm so excited!!!

I first learned to knit when I was about ten, but mostly easy things like scarves. This morning, after a few false starts trying to figure out double-ended needles (and a lot of dropped stitches falling off the back end), I completed my first-ever pair of socks.

I have enough wool to make a second pair, too - but first I'm going to give myself a break and knit another one of those scarf thingies. :-D
