Why I’m grateful today, more or less:

I let myself feel my feelings lat night and I stayed safe. Not only did I feel my feelings, I expressed them. I cried for like four hours and I allowed myself to: I didn’t shut down. And I survived. Nothing bad happened. Eventually, I calmed down, stopped crying, and actually felt a little bit better. Then, today I was able to journal about the emotions I was feeling last night and really process them. I’m so grateful for the amazing coping mechanisms and skills I’m learning and I’m even more grateful to myself that I’m beginning to actually use them.
