Doesn’t have to be a big thing! For me, I just managed to handle an entire move all on my own, without help from friends or family.
I finally got myself to work on voice training exercises at home 😌
Well done, keep that momentum up! Improving oneself is an investment in the future that’s always worthwhile
I’ve been on and off voice training for ages. It really makes my dysphoric and I can’t manage to do it consistently :(
🫂 I know what you mean. I hate listening to my recordings 😔. I hope you’ll be able to do it someday. I believe in us <3

I responded to someone’s call for help (assistance, not life-critical), even though I had just gone to sleep. Got up, dressed, went out into the world, and met someone to get tools to help someone who still relies on me.
Yay, me. :)
You’ll be able to carry around that warm fuzzy feeling from helping someone in need for quite a while - well done!
Yay for helping a friend in need!
Do you also have this weird thing that helping others is much easier than doing something for yourself?
It’s tough not to get annoyed at those late night calls, but you’re a better person for it.
Um, well, helping with Beehaw. Many projects I’ve seen to fruition that are pretty cool like docs.beehaw.org and the demographics survey.
Every time I see your username I think to myself “I’m glad he’s here working to make the site better!”
As someone who is only online sporadically, thus cannot contribute, I salute you!
I applied for a great job that I’m definitely not qualified for, and I’m through the first two rounds of interviews. I didn’t even think I’d go to the first interview purely because of my agoraphobia, so I’m proud of myself for pushing through it.
Fing imposter syndrome! Good luck!
I got a glowing review from work (I was promoted 6 months ago) by both my boss and boss’ boss. ’
I hate to admit it but it’s pretty amazing the impact on your confidence that feeling good about work can have.
WOW! That’s a pretty big undertaking to move by yourself. I’m teaching myself a new skill to change careers, although I haven’t gotten there yet, I’m proud that I’m taking myself seriously now.
I started processing trauma memories and working on maladaptive survival behaviors in January. Running and dissociating always seemed better for some reason.
I guess I was afraid I’d learn that I deserved abuse growing up. It turns out that it wasn’t about me at all.
Mindfulness practice has brought more agency and intention to my life. Despite this being the hardest and most painful thing I’ve done, it’s also been one of the most rewarding.
I passed my cell and molecular biology paper (which was pretty hard and mostly irrelevant to my consumer food sci degree ) and found out that the one paper I managed to pass during the year I was fucked up by SSRIs means that I’ve already met all the requirements for my minor!
It is not as much as others, but:
- I actually submitted something that resembles a game, though, more of a prototype, to a lisp game jam that happened a while ago
- This time I pulled off in total, 60 hours of reading, books.
- I am still studying Japanese daily
- Still alive :D
After years of yearning, I finally worked up the nerve to take a pottery class! And I think I nailed my first attempt, too.
I’ve been trying to make myself handy to save money and I was able to change out my rear coils and front CV axles on my land cruiser recently. It was a huge pain in the butt and took me 3 days, but I made it. haha
I’ve just built and launched a new site for my work! It’s something we’ve been trying to do for literally years and about a month ago I decided to just sit down and do it myself, and I’m so glad I did.
Nice work! Sent it to my friend in the area :)
I just got hired! Just need to process some papers which will hopefully be quick but I just landed my first job!!
Congratulations 🎊
Nice! I hope it goes well and you learn lots of useful skills from it, I’m old and still use things that I learned from my first job
I played a concert with my orchestra today and absolutely nailed my solo.
Solo travel with an anxiety disorder. Getting pushed out of that comfort zone, but I still choose my own adventures. It’s freeing and I hope it will promote some personal growth.
That is awesome! Done something similar but not totally solo. Enjoy your time and growth!
