Hi everyone! It's been a minute. The win I am most proud of right now is moving through the wave of attacks at night. This past month, I've been having patterned wakes - they're sudden, uncomfortable, definitely a fight or flight response. Each time they happen, I've moved through them. Some nights are easy, others are very hard but I am proud of myself for not giving up on myself. Something I've been telling myself is that if they're so patterned, then I guess I can anticipate them without fear of the unknown since they're not totally new symptoms or sensations. I care about myself, I want to keep moving forward, and I want to show my body that it can do hard things. I'm waiting on results for stuff, currently going through the process of finding out what might be causing it. But regardless, I still have empathy for myself and my anxiety and I will be doing my best to not let this stop me. Also made this piece of art yesterday to let out what I'm feeling, art has been a helpful tool
