Have you ever forgiven yourself for not reaching a goal?

[Mia-Wallace]

I actually reached my goal last night and ended the current project I was involved with.

Though, not without messing up my sleep and my brain a bit.

I feel like this:

Me, last night (this morning) at 2 am.

But I've been unable to reach deadlines or goals before and I had a hard time forgiving myself. Lately I am being more forgiving, as it helps me stand up and work and try again.

Yeah

No

Congratulations, really well done as I know how much this took.

We have a fairly open set of team briefings and stand ups to monitor projects and it’s always down as a team sharing the load.

i have personally cocked up a few times and been the one responsible for not meeting a project gate or deadline etc.

it happens, as long as valid reasons and risks etc were captured during stand ups etc, then everything is invariable forgivable.

the only time it’s not is when someone misleads the daily stand ups of project board meetings.

Thank you Chris. ❤

And I agree with everything you said.

Quite honestly i don't forgive myself for mhxb at all. I'm more likely to forgive someone who hurt me. Then myself for even something as simple as not completing something when I wanted to.

[Mia-Wallace]

You must try it. I was the same and forgiving helps a lot.

I am trying it's one of the things I'm working with my therapist on.

It has helped with the things it's taken a while to forgive myself for. it took me more than a year to forgive myself for a minor accident when I had a friend in the car with me. I went back to where it happened several times to see what I could have done differently and that. Between my friend and therapy it took that long before. i could forgive myself.

So it's a slow work in progress.

Great to hear.🍾

Thank you. Well done on both being able to forgive yourself more easily and for your project they can be hard work.

Also thank you for your kindness.

[Mia-Wallace]

You're welcome. 🌸

And thank you.

Thank you for MHO.

After a nervous breakdown, years of therapy and medications, I am at peace with my PTSD. I am a survivor comfortable with who I am now.

[Mia-Wallace]

You are definitely strong and I wish you the best. 🌸

[Guardian45]

Thank you, but it doesn't mean I am cured. If I become triggered it can resurface, so I must remain aware and vigilant of the cues.

Much the way an alcoholic/drug addiction fall off the wagon. Maintaining good mental and physical health are key.

[Mia-Wallace]

I know. I am not neurotypical and I do deal with trauma.

[Guardian45]

Then you know. What are your tools?

[Mia-Wallace]

Therapy sometimes. I am using medications less often in past few years but I still use CBD.

My D/s relationship also plays a role in my mental health. I'm also currently becoming more outgoing and sociable, which I found helps a lot.

If I tried my hardest there is nothing to be down about. As long as I learn from the experience

no, I use it to make myself better.
