I am proud of you

Mine is cuddling with my cats.

Mine is if I get up early and handle all the morning chores for my teenagers once in a while, I can sit and have my coffee with them before the day gets away from us.

Gotta remember to slow myself down and stop spinning out so I can enjoy something that’s not gonna last forever. I’ve put them through some tough things, but getting a few minutes of real time with them and getting their love in return is one of the only things that I look forward to.

Telling my kids they are good kids.

Talking to my friends, who "see" me fully, and accept all of me, not just the pretty parts.

Mine is boxing! I started doing VR boxing in June and have done it 5 days a week for a minimum of 30 minutes a day since then most weeks. I’m a 53-years-old AFAB girl person, and my body won’t burn fat right now, but I’m getting stronger and using anger in a healthier way. Thank you for this post.

I love piling a bunch of blankets on the couch, cuddling with my kitties, and alternating coloring and playing xbox.

Putting on good, upbeat music while I'm cooking and cleaning. It turns everything into a dance party instead of a punishment!

45 minute drive to work in the winding darkness of a lonely country road. Podcast playing, coffee dank. I’ll drive a little slower today.

I am proud of everyone here. We have changed and turned our hearts towards love and compassion and away from the sadism, cruelty, and evil we experienced growing up.

Mine is making a pumpkin spiced cappuccino every morning while chilling with my kitties and staring out the window. These are moments of complete gratitude <3

What a lovely sentiment. Thanks.

I've been experimenting with my art a lot lately, and I love the feeling of discovering a new way to do things.

today was a pretty awful day for me, so I really needed this post, thank you! What makes my day a bit better is the morning cuddle session I had with my cat. To everyone else, be patient with yourself! We can all find our happiness and comfort, I’m sure of it.

Mine is feeling that it's all going to be ok with healthy habits, self-care, good friends and family, and love for myself everyday I keep working on my wounds, distress tolerance and letting unnecessary things go.

I exercised today on the treadmill after not doing it in months, it gave me the boost that I needed

Playing guitar.

Bubbles still entertain me. Bath bubbles, blowy bubbles, basic soap bubbles. It’s the little things 🥹

Laying with my dog and hugging him with his chin resting on my arm.

Waking up, looking for my cat and hearing that first meow of the day

I just started a new crochet project. This gives me life.

For me it’s taking time from a busy day to be caring and compassionate to myself. This may or may not include really good food.

Enjoying a Breathing meditation even if it’s whilst I’m working or driving. As it reminds me of how far I’ve come.

Today my thing that made my day better was being able to make a drive with no prep or medications. Also doggie cuddles

I showered and cleaned my room. I was sick all day yesterday but I'm already recovered by today, which is pretty amazing! I could even have coffee today and I'm able to get out of my house and walk my dog later (:

Eating jalapeños on my food .. especially after a long day

To enjoy the love and trust of cats... And tea + cake in the afternoon.

A good run or BJJ class.

Smoking Cannabis before bed so I can sleep without awaking in the night punching the wall.

When my. Re upstairs neighbours invite me to spend time with them

Coffee and hugs from my children.

Mine is taking a walk with my dog on a sunny morning :)

Recognising myself in the mirror. It's more frequent than before. It reminds me I am running away less now, and that I might be loveable.

Thank you

I like to sit with my cats. If I get some drawing done, I call that a win

Newly blooming flowers (“weeds” and “flowers” both), Lana Del Rey’s Ultraviolence and Honeymoon, writing, and most of all, whenever public consciousness gets raised through wider acknowledgment of systemic issues (racism, capitalism/materialism, and war, as Dr. King put it). ✊🖤

Picking out which perfume to wear and enjoying the scent of it throughout the day

And of course, that first sip of coffee in the morning

Seeing the sunshine :)

Home made latte with almond milk, my wonderful and supportive husband, knitting, audiobooks and snuggling my 17 year old dachshund 😊

Thank you I desperately needed this <3 Lately I've been doing 10 minutes of guided Youtube meditations before bed and I enjoy that. Your chai sounds amazing :)

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I make a black tea, oat milk latte for myself every morning. We have an Aeroccino and it makes really satisfying foam with the right oat milk.

Nature, being outside especially when it's sunny. And even better is when I meet a friendly cat too.

I love browsing this subbredit, to be able to witness and feel all the affection, support and validation shared by complete strangers on the internet, it's a safe place and it never fails to brighten my day.

Catching myself doing better.

Answering anxiety and intrusive thoughts by challenging their veracity, validity or reality.

🫣 turns out hormones and endorphins from frisky time is the best antidepressant for me...so having fun time for that w my partner. (Post divorce from ex who withheld it and used his withholding to crush me).

I bought a table (2nd hand). Its big, nice oak-ish finish to it, and finally it feels like a proper home where my kids and I can have big dinners, guests (if I ever get the courage...), play board games, work from my laptop etc. It feels great! Im happy everytime I see it.

And I'm glad for people like you who make my healing journey better. I had a rough weekend but I'm trying to pick myself up together. Thank you for your kind words.

On another note, I got some good Hong Kong styled waffle for dessert tonight. It was so good!

Enjoying the quiet of the night after every one is asleep.

Thank you for this ❤️ I have two things, my little boy and my pets ❤️

I think mine would have to be drinking kratom every two hours or so. Sort of helps to drown out the screaming isolation and loneliness and terror of this world

going to work! even though it’s hard some days to get out of bed, i love meeting all of the people i meet everyday and treating them all with kindness <3

getting a cappuccino with 5 plumps of salt caramel syrup from the local store. they didn't have this specific one recently so i switched to cinnamon syrup. very eager for it to get restocked

The timing of this post… thank you. I can’t think right now of something that makes my day a little better that I want to share. I’m exhausted. Just wanted to thank you.

Taking a really long bubblebath with only a candle as light and good food and a nice soda or juice to drink. Water brings me balance. Although I can't do that every day.

So, if this answer doesn't count...I unfortunately don't have an every day answer.

I write, read, and respond on an app called The Mighty. It helps me feel connected to other people with cptsd so I feel less alone ❤️ I’m trying to utilize Reddit more
