“If anything matters, than everything matters.” ~unknown
Be very proud of yourself for…
- breathing
- opening our eyes
- getting out of bed, when you couldn’t even move
- picking up your children from school, when you were immobilized in your bed the entire day
- just being there, when you didn’t think you could be
- brushing your teeth
- washing your face
- putting on make up
- getting dressed
- putting on clean clothes
- cleaning your house after months of not being able to
- doing laundry
- writing in your blog
- going to the grocery store, when you wanted to keep isolating
- making dinner instead of calling to order food for delivery
- washing the dishes
- going to work when you were very depressed
- going to church
- filled out paperwork when your mind could not focus well
- fighting the strong urges of self-harm
- fighting the strong urges of your suicidal thoughts
- asking for help when you didn’t want to, but knew you needed the help
- going to a Doctor appointment when you did not want to
- admitting yourself to the hospital when you knew you needed to
- pretending and acting like you are not sad, in despair, hopeless and dying on the inside throughout another day of your life
- continuing to keep going on even though your brain constantly says , “stop!”
- accomplishing anything when your mind says, “you can’t”
- smiling
- loving
- living
- surviving
- thriving
- having hope
- having faith
- surviving each day of your life
- being a bipolar and mental illness survivor!

This is a good list. I have been really hard on myself lately for feeling so paralyzed. I often hate myself when I can’t do the dishes or write or paint, and I just sit around feeling anxious. I need to focus on the little victories. Thank you.
