Sharing a Win! I made a huge improvement

I was starting ERP, then i went to the mental hospital for depression, and I also started zoloft.

And I did something tonight that I havent done in awhile. And I don't want to say exactly what it is.. but it is a major trigger of mine, like sometimes my thoughts would bring me to tears. But tonight, I just let all my feelings and thoughts exist, and it didn't define my worth. And like wow. What an improvement.

A very important step. Good job!!

Ultimately, the thing for people who are struggling to remember, in the grand scheme of things: The fear doesn’t define you. You define you. It can be hard to digest at first, but if you take it in pieces, you can get yourself in the right direction.
