awesomeersIt's challenge time!
Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.
Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!
Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!
Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.
Go!

Tracking the difference between probably-irrational and possibly-justified guilt and fear as best I can. Reminding myself that feeling worse about not doing things makes me less effective at doing them. Not-screaming.
Leaving things at a good pause point at work before going home yesterday.
Asking someone to do something that matters to me.

Date: 2017-01-12 07:41 am (UTC)Made it to my psych appointment on time.
Heard that the things I am doing with my partner are generally considered helpful, and advantages to a mature relationship, so yay!
Received the advice from my psychiatrist that a large part of not being crazy as a grown-up is figuring out what you can't do, and not doing that. Heh.
Had energy left over to do some other things!
Took a nice walk to examine the sinkhole.
Communication and comfort with partner.
Hit my goal step count, and went a ways towards catching up the shortfall from some less motivated days.

Date: 2017-01-12 02:51 pm (UTC)The normal course of things is that when one is not okay, the other helps and comforts as best we can. When both are not okay, there's usually a pair bootstrapping sequence wherein the one who is worse is identified via multipoint handshake, then the other sets aside their issues and starts comforting; once the other starts to exceed the first benchmark, we swap out roles until both are reasonably okay.
Apparently this is one advantage of a mature relationship.
(Tuesday, nobody was okay enough for the bootstrap sequence to complete, but given that my partner was functional and we had others helping out and some prepared checklists, we made it through. I didn't need to be functional, I just needed to not cause a disruption. And my brother kept me company.)

Date: 2017-01-12 07:10 pm (UTC)We've also been making sure that even though our usual defaults for comfort and caring are each other, there are definitely times to override those defaults. Like, say, when someone is a bit of a mess but will be okay but could use a friendly something, and the other party is on the wrong end of an hour+ drive due to medical fuckery and has just sat down to dinner with the person along to do medical advocacy. Or someone is completely non-functional and panicking, but the other is up to their elbows in moving boxes with a time-sensitive task and a slightly more functional state of panic. But we have other friends to turn to. Which is as it should be.
