Therapy Wednesday

I saw my therapist today. She is awesome! Basically we talked about stuff, and then more stuff, and then some other stuff. Okay so I am not going into specifics about what I talk to my therapist about. However, she did help me realize I need to be patient with myself and recognize the accomplishments I am making. So my list of accomplishments: I can go to the store without needing to take extra Klonopin, I can let my kids sit in my lap, I can recognize when I am having a hard time at night and cope accordingly by sleeping on the couch with the lights on, I can recognize when I need me time, communicate that need to my husband, and then distract myself with some healthy coping skills without the distraction of my kids. I am also showering everyday, doing my hair and make up, paying attention to the clothes I wear, and not just throwing something clean on. I am keeping my house clean, I am cooking dinner every night, I am blogging regularly again, I exercised this week, I coped well with a flashback, and I went all day today without a nap even though my kids woke me up at 4am eating ice cream.
So thinking of all those accomplishments makes me feel very good, and not so down on myself. I realize I am making great strides, and am slowly but surely getting better.
