Today I wore a red polka dot dress, because I was feeling a bit low and red dotty things make me happy.
Today I sat in a meeting and didn't sweat, cry, feel claustrophobic or even notice that I wasn't feeling any of things.
Today a colleague told me how different I am now than I was a year ago. And that she is proud of me.
Today another colleague told me that, after seeing my journey over the last year from absolute wreck to the smiley, scatty person she remembered from years ago, she was inspired to do something about her own depression and is now in counselling.
Today I am actually feeling quite wonderful, because lovely people (who have no vested interest in my happiness) made me feel noticed and appreciated and proud of myself.
Tomorrow I am going to tell someone how brave I think she is. Hopefully I can make her feel the way I do today.
