Today I got out of bed.
That is a victory for me.
Today I went to most of my classes.
I find myself living a constant struggle to do everyday activities. It is in doing things that other people do with ease that I have to reward myself.
I finished a project.
And to a lot of people this will not seem like much. Let me tell you that there are some days I don't do a damn thing or even take care of my responsibilities and if I do not applaud myself for these small victories I don't think I ever would get out of bed again.
I have to coax myself to eat a meal and sometimes I only once a day if at all. Not because I am anorexic or dieting or wanting to lose weight... but what is the point of eating if I don't want to move anyway.
An important part of suffering from anxiety is that people understand how good it is to accomplish little things. Loving yourself when you are not whole is not an easy task believe me.
So celebrate the small things, it will give you the strength to accomplish things later on.
Enlightening books you may should read:
The Willpower Instinct by Kelly McGonigal
