I think I’m making some good progress

Yesterday I started to realize I’m making some healthy progress toward better mental health.

This is pretty big news for me. I almost never think anything is going well. For right now I’m cautiously allowing myself to think things are getting better. It feels good.

Now I know tomorrow I may wake up feeling differently but for today I just wanted to recognize this change in me.

I’ve been in a DBT group for about 10 months now over a period of 2 years. It turned out to be a really good decision for me.

Thats great news @Gamera

I find that i can manage best when i stay home a lot in my comfort zone. Do you push yourself to do things out of your comfort ? What do you find helps?

Thank @Ducky.

I think therapy is helping me change the way I think about things and DBT is teaching me skills to help manage.

My comfort zone helps me a lot, but I think the progress that I’ve made is allowing it to grow. I may be outgrowing my current comfort zone a little, but I’ve only just started to feel things change, so we’ll see what happens.

To answer your question, I almost never push myself out of my comfort zone, but I’m hoping to be able to.

I’m glad that your hard work and perseverance in DBT is leading to progress. For what it’s worth, I’ve noticed you’re more calm and confident on here.

Some days will be better than others, but I think over time your comfort zone will continue to grow. :+1:

Thanks for sharing that. Part of me doesn’t quite trust it. It helps to get positive feedback.
