2024-03-29 16:07:53 +0000 UTCWell done for putting your worries aside and going to seek advice! I can understand it can be difficult and daunting to find out there is something you didnโt know about yourself and the impact it can have on so many different factors tooโ but you did it anyway!! Iโm really proud you did it through and you should you!! ๐ฅฐ๐น

2024-03-29 10:38:35 +0000 UTCThank you for sharing Onion, I completely understand where youโre coming from about putting yourself in uncomfortable situations hoping it will help you overcome your anxieties. Iโm glad it helped you in some ways, you have that ability to push yourself which is really something. I have some social anxiety too, I find it really hard to start conversations with people Iโve just met and I worry I donโt make a good first impression. But weโre trying to get better, and thatโs the most important thing ๐น

2024-03-29 10:34:44 +0000 UTCOh my gosh Parker, that is crazy! You really are an insane machine of a human being, I hope you managed to relax and have a spa WEEK after everything you went through ๐ซ Well done for getting through it all! I donโt want to go into too much detail but my triumphant moment was removing myself from a toxic situation, being belittled and made to feel like I was less than I was. Iโm in a much happier place, in fact, this is the happiest Iโve been in years. So yeah Iโm doing good โบ๏ธ Have a great Friday and weekend too!

2024-03-28 22:25:55 +0000 UTCConversations can be very hard for some people!! (Coming from someone who had a speech disorder I feel your pain!!!) But you did a hard thing and improved yourself!! Which is not an easy thing to do! I just want to say that I and Iโm assuming everyone else is super proud of you for taking those steps to improve Youโre social skills!! โบ๏ธ๐๐

2024-03-28 20:30:16 +0000 UTCI am so happy to hear that you took the steps to go see a psychiatrist!! Whether good, bad, indifferent or something in between you will always have your friends, family, and us to support you!! I wish you the best of luck with your appointment โบ๏ธโค๏ธ

2024-03-28 20:19:29 +0000 UTCHi everyone ๐๐ป, (i read through yโall stories and gosh you are so incredible !). Here i go, i have this friend of mine thatโs neurodivergent (wonโt tell the exact thing here for obvious reasons) and she often told me about how i acted a LOT like her, something like 2 mouth ago she talked about it to my parents and some other friends and a lot of them told me to go see someone to check if i didnโt have the same thing, she even told me that i might have some other thing going on (worst way to convince someone btw ๐คฃ๐ญ). And hereโs the catch, i hate having the feeling that some unknown person is more knowledgeable about me, or a part of me, than i am, it makes me really uncomfortable and kinda scared (not scared like "AAAAAH" but I didnโt had a better way to put it). This lead to me avoiding the subject of seeing a psychiatrist each time they tried to talk to me about it. But, after 2 mouths of avoiding it and after some hard convincing from them, i decided to finally call one to get an appointment. I think the thing that convinced me was my friend telling me "worst thing that could happen to you is getting answers and help". Me agreeing to do it is really recent (past week) so i didnโt go yet but itโs for real soon. Iโm honnestly still a bit uncomfortable about it but the appointment is taken and iโll go for sure ! I had this brief but big feeling of being proud of myself when i finally took it ! which felt really good. i never saw a psychiatrist so i donโt really know how itโll go tho ๐ . Anyway, i love this format ! TY Ophelia for all you do ๐ค !

2024-03-28 19:32:33 +0000 UTCOh my gosh, that whole ordeal sounds like the most stressful two weeks of your lifeโ but youโre right, in the end you came through it all and passed with flying colours!! ๐ฅณ Iโm so proud of you and I bet writing that memory down brought so much pride to you too ๐ฅฐ๐น

2024-03-28 19:08:19 +0000 UTCBack in high school, I decided to join my school's debate team. I thought it would help improve my social skills. Looking back, it was a bad decision. I don't really like arguing most of the time, and I'm not sure how I came up with the logic of me becoming more socially competent as a result of it. If it could do that, it definitely was one of the last or more advanced steps of socializing that I probably should have done after I learned how to hold a basic conversation. Regardless, at the time, I ran with that nutty idea, staying on the team for about 3 years until graduation. I went to a bunch of tournaments, and It was probably the most nerve-wracking experiences of my life so far. I wouldn't do it again, that's for sure, but I guess I got through it somehow. Anxiety and all. I'm slightly proud of that, I guess. Of course, my social skills didn't get any better from it. Maybe a little? I definitely didn't get better at debating either. I guess my public speaking skills got better after it was all done. To be honest, the only reason why I stuck with it without bailing after the first tourney or so was because one of the members of the team kept me level-headed so I didn't have a nervous breakdown mid match.

2024-03-28 17:36:20 +0000 UTCI didn't think I would be able to either. But with enough determination, I did it ๐ช ๐ And I don't doubt you could too!

2024-03-28 17:23:19 +0000 UTCThe human body is quite the machine if it has the right determined brain to back it. That's very impressive and you should indeed be proud ๐
Aron
2024-03-28 17:20:42 +0000 UTCSure you could. People are capable of more than they think when put in situations, and obviously as a Cowboy Bebop fan, you would adapt just fine.

2024-03-28 16:48:37 +0000 UTCOne of my more recent triumphant moments is I made a promise to my dad I would run a half marathon race (13.1 miles or 21.1 km) with him. This was before I entered the nursing program!! Little did I know exactly how crazy it was going to be, (60+ hour weeks and thatโs just the academic part!!) So I didnโt really have the time or energy to train. The race is getting closer and closer as days go by. My dad has suggested multiple times that itโs ok if we pull out of the race because I have not trained at all. I say โNo I made a promise to you, that I would run this race with you, and I am going to keep that promise!โ More days go by and I still have not trained because I am too busy in the nursing program! The night before the race I had to pull an all nighter to finish most of the things I was behind on. So when it comes to the race day I am going into it with NO TRAINING OR SLEEP! FOR A HALF MARATHON! I end up doing the race (my goal was just to finish it walking or running) and I ended up running 12 out of the 13.1 miles and I did the race in under 3 hours!! The amount of physical and mental pain I felt that day just to keep a promise to my father was immeasurable! At the end of the race I literally could not walk without assistance! The crazy thing is too because the race was on a Sunday I had to go back to school that day to prepare for the next week! I rushed back to my university in my car, (which is over an hour + drive) I got back and got ready for the week. But there was one assignment that I wasnโt able to finish in the all nighter THE FINAL ESSAY FOR A CLASS!! So in a span of about 8 hours that I had left (it was due at 11:59pm) I also wrote a good 8 page essay! So in a span of less than 24 hours I caught up with some of my nursing assignments, ran a half marathon without sleep or training, and wrote a 8 page final essay!!!!! The craziest thing is that this isnโt my wildest story lol ๐ thanks for creating this post Miss Ophelia!! I am curious what your most triumphant moment is!? Anyways, I hope you have an amazing day and rest of your week!! With all of my love, Parker โบ๏ธ๐ซถ๐ผ๐น
Parker Hood
2024-03-28 16:47:30 +0000 UTCNot sure I want to get into the harrowing details of any specific story, but I'd say in general going off on my own as a teenager traveling the world, paying my own way working jobs in forestry, national parks, merchant marines, and teaching ESL, was a series of difficulties I overcame at a young age. That definitely made me pretty resourceful and resilient. Of course, I still can't hold a candle to Onyx's kidney disease, or you having to read youtube comments ๐จ

2024-03-28 15:42:28 +0000 UTCI had a tough time getting through 2020, but I'm glad I'm still alive and that I've persevered! Thanks to my family I feel very loved and supported!!

2024-03-28 15:10:09 +0000 UTCIt might sound silly. But a couple of years ago, I bought a 80s retro car. And one day it broke down (quelle surprise) and I decided to try and tackle the issue myself, without any previous mechanical knowledge. And after some blood, sweat and tears, I got the part replaced and when I fired the car up and it ran perfectly was such a satisfying feeling of accomplishment! Hope you have a lovely Easter weekend, Ophelia โบ๏ธ๐ฅฐ๐ฃ

2024-03-28 15:03:16 +0000 UTCWell there was that time my landlord tried her absolute best to get me evicted from my apartment because I needed an extra 5 days to pay off the past due amount. It took working 12 hour shifts to raise the money to fight it but I still have my apartment and she no longer works at the office for my apartment complex. I choose to believe she lost her job in connection to the drama she started with me.

2024-03-28 14:59:14 +0000 UTC๐ค definitely had to be writing my senior thesis to graduate from university. ๐ oh my goodness was that a time... it was during the height of covid spring semester of 2020, all my classes went online and I had to do my senior thesis on top of classes I HAD to pass to have enough credits to graduate, who also had large finals projects of their own. The last two weeks of that semester were crazy. Two weeks of 3 to 4 hours of sleep. Waking up to attend an online lecture and then working on my thesis from 11am until 3am the next day. ๐ I've even had people say I lost a lot of weight during that time. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT??? I completed it, and I passed all my classes and I graduated! ๐๐ง it was tough but whenever I feel a little down, I think "Hey, I did that, and that was harder than this, you got this man" ๐ Anyway ty Ophelia, it was nice to tell you a little something about me. ๐๐น
