I responded to someone's call for help (assistance, not life-critical), even though I had just gone to sleep. Got up, dressed, went out into the world, and met someone to get tools to help someone who still relies on me.

Yay, me. :)

I finally got myself to work on voice training exercises at home 😌

I applied for a great job that I'm definitely not qualified for, and I'm through the first two rounds of interviews. I didn't even think I'd go to the first interview purely because of my agoraphobia, so I'm proud of myself for pushing through it.

Um, well, helping with Beehaw. Many projects I've seen to fruition that are pretty cool like docs.beehaw.org and the demographics survey.

I started processing trauma memories and working on maladaptive survival behaviors in January. Running and dissociating always seemed better for some reason.

I guess I was afraid I’d learn that I deserved abuse growing up. It turns out that it wasn’t about me at all.

Mindfulness practice has brought more agency and intention to my life. Despite this being the hardest and most painful thing I’ve done, it’s also been one of the most rewarding.

It is not as much as others, but:

• I actually submitted something that resembles a game, though, more of a prototype, to a lisp game jam that happened a while ago
• This time I pulled off in total, 60 hours of reading, books.
• I am still studying Japanese daily
• Still alive :D

I got a glowing review from work (I was promoted 6 months ago) by both my boss and boss' boss. '

Wrote a short story I was really happy with. I mean, I'm always writing something, but I'm usually kind of 'meh' about what I come up with. Every once in a while, though, I write something and I just know that it's good, like I can feel it, and I can say to myself, 'yeah, this is really hitting the mark.' As a writer, I'm always chasing that feeling. It's like a drug. So last night I wrote 2,000 words of a new 3,500 word story that just came to me, all in one shot, like a vision, and I'm so enjoying how this one is coming together.

Everyone in this thread, you’re doing amazing things!

I passed my cell and molecular biology paper (which was pretty hard and mostly irrelevant to my consumer food sci degree ) and found out that the one paper I managed to pass during the year I was fucked up by SSRIs means that I've already met all the requirements for my minor!

I’ve just built and launched a new site for my work! It’s something we’ve been trying to do for literally years and about a month ago I decided to just sit down and do it myself, and I’m so glad I did.

WOW! That's a pretty big undertaking to move by yourself. I'm teaching myself a new skill to change careers, although I haven't gotten there yet, I'm proud that I'm taking myself seriously now.

i built a rigid heddle loom and wove myself a scarf! it sucks and is super wonky looking but i love it, and its been neat learning about how weaving works and the history of textiles and all that junk. did you know that weaving is one of the oldest crafts in the world? we were doing it back in the paleolithic, like 27,000 years ago! its very neat. it took me like a month to build the loom, and a few days to weave the scarf, and its the first time i've felt this much consistent focus on a hobby in a long time. it also coincides with me getting new brain pills (and estrogen) that are working really well at restoring my passion for life.

Nope

I've been trying to make myself handy to save money and I was able to change out my rear coils and front CV axles on my land cruiser recently. It was a huge pain in the butt and took me 3 days, but I made it. haha

I stayed calm and didn't retaliate when someone went crazy road rage on me 😂

After years of yearning, I finally worked up the nerve to take a pottery class! And I think I nailed my first attempt, too.

Completed my trade apprenticeship and am moving into a nice apartment in a great neighborhood. Life is good.

Solo travel with an anxiety disorder. Getting pushed out of that comfort zone, but I still choose my own adventures. It's freeing and I hope it will promote some personal growth.

Went out to buy fem clothing and took them into the fitting rooms, even with the looks from some people.

For what it's worth felt super cute and picked them up...

I built a big wooden thing that hangs in front of the window in my garage. It supports a huge window air conditioner. It has heavy duty drawer slides, so you can push the air conditioner out the window when you want to cool the garage, or pull it in when you want to close up shop. It's almost done.

I played a concert with my orchestra today and absolutely nailed my solo.

I just got hired! Just need to process some papers which will hopefully be quick but I just landed my first job!!
