After the turmoil of the last few months it would be easy to say that I haven't achieved anything, to instantly deny any positives, but that would not be truthful.
Last night, for example, i went out with my dad to see Milton Jones. Now that may not seem like a big achievement but, it was the first time that I had got dressed in anything other than trackies since the 30th of December last year. And what od even more important is that I enjoyed myself. Yes there was a substantial amount of anxiety involved in the evening but there was also a lot of genuine laughter.
Another example is that I have managed to get myself some paid work, i am actually contributing to society! I mean yes, it is only some media database work for my mums friend's company, but it is work all the same.
So, next time I try to call myself a complete failure I need to remind myself of these small achievements. Illness will not rule my life.
