Oversharing time, Internet friends!
The last few months have been crazy hard for me. I was stuck in an awful job, and it became clear that after three years, my husband and I probably might not be able to have kids... something we both wanted more than anything. I was in a dark, miserable place.

In the last month or so, though, things have started looking better. It's been hard, but I've made changes and taken some risks that I'm very proud of. I started a new job last week that I am loving so far. We adopted a cat (despite my allergies, which luckily havent been a problem) who is currently begging me to pay him attention, which helps so much in overcoming the pain that tends to surround mothers day season for me. And although I'm not exceptionally involved in Rise, the positivity and friendliness in this community has made a huge difference for me, too.

Thanks, everyone, for making the world a little bit better place.

I have overcome so much (anxiety disorder, life threatening illness etc) to push my education to where it is now. I'm one semester from graduating early with honors from my bachelor's program with not one, but two minors plus a certificate. I'm in the progress of applying to graduate school and I am so proud of myself for taking risks and finding out that my dreams can be a reality if I push hard enough and remember that I'm powerful and intelligent.
I'm so proud that my parents have supported me and helped keep me debt free just because they care. Without my family I never could have made it this far

During this past year, I've accomplished so much. Last summer I went travelling on my own and with my levels of anxiety, I never thought that was even possible.

I've started actually drawing this year and working on improving my art. Before now, I've always been too scared to actually draw because I was alway disappointed in what I drew as I can create a concept in my mind but can't put it down on paper.

Plus, I've finally learnt that I'm not stupid and recently got diagnosed with dyslexia. I finally understand a lot of what I thought was just me not being very intelligent. I am smart but I just need the extra help get there.

positivity: tbh i'm really not the best with self-love & self-care, but i've been taking care of myself & looking out for myself. i've been working on doing what makes me happy & keeping away or cutting off the things that aren't healthy for me. little things, but y'know, i've been feeling the effects.

Positivity: This may sound super silly, but I'm really proud of myself for keeping up with a 1x1 roleplay I'm currently in! I love the story and am having a great time. Despite my best intentions most of the roleplays I've done have died before the point this one has gotten to, and I am going to do my best to keep it going for a long time. <3

Positivity: I know it's going to sound odd but I'm proud that I quit my job in march. It was horribly toxic and I hated it, I was basically working 60 hour weeks because no one else showed up and I finally had enough and I got up the courage to leave! I've already found another job, one much better, pays more and the hours are great and I feel so much better physically and mentally! And while my mom wasn't exactly happy, I'm proud of myself for not settling like I always do and realizing that I can do better for myself and for actually doing something about my situation!

Also I've read through others and I'm so proud of everyone for doing their best! <33
